This series doesn't compare to the UK Kitchen Nightmares. This seems to have a lot of unnecessary added drama. More acting then reality. Only thing real was the owners struggles financially and their horrible business decisions.

This is FAN-TASTIC!! excellent!! i am a big fan of drama and this really hits the spot! if you love watching people yell at awful men who do disgusting things YOU WILL LOVE THIS!!! Gordon goes all out for this, he gets FOOD POISONING, and he REAMS that chef. he goes IN. highly recommend for those who have passionate souls.

Well.. after watching all the episodes from the beginning, I'm amazed! This show is something really clever, cringe-watching, intense, terrifying moments to watch and just really filled with emotion scenes.First of all; I'm big fan of Gordon and I just get all that inspiration from this man, I love the cook food too and this just keeps me motivating to someday open my own restaurant, of course in my dreams or future, but still I want that to happen if that's possible.All the episodes are basically following the same routine, Gordon eat's one of the restaurants, cafe's or bistro's etc. Then discovers always something bad, complains how bad food is to the brigade then see how restaurants functions and overall tries to fix everything what's wrong. Simple, but brilliant to watch!There are some episodes, which are really shocking and hard to watch, all the mess and just how bad restaurant's are running these days.It's satisfaction we all get in the end, emotion and I feel great and are just happy how things turn out good. Yeah, I know it's pretty obvious and everyone sometimes think who watch this show, want something different and how Ramsay should approach some situations, that's true. But all the episodes are overall different and not just rushed.. quality delivers and Ramsay doesn't disappoint, all the yelling and confrontations, fights are really intense to watch.Keep this show up the air! I don't want this to never end.My best reality show I ever watched, everyone should give this show a chance. I watched UK versions, but this is so much better and reality is spot-on and everything is so much better and dangerous to watch, all the suffering to the owners and that intense is amazing.If you are not ever watched this show, please watch it, it's just that good. I think I will re-run and watch all the episodes again, heh.

In all honesty, I have a gigantic man crush on Gordon Ramsay. There's just no one else like him. He tells it like it is, and There's just nothing he cannot do. Or so it seems. I'll admit I'd hate to be some runt on the show, but that's a good thing. And Kitchen Nightmares is proof that sometimes, one voice IS enough to stop a restaurant from serving crap.This is an American version of his original British program, which is just as much a guilty pleasure as the Yankee version. Essentially the rundown is this: A restaurant, somewhere in America, is struggling. It could be due to shitty food or shitty management/service... or maybe even both. After tasting their cheapjack food, Ramsay observes what goes on in the kitchen, and then does what it takes to get the restaurant back on it's feet, for once and for all.Ramsay is brutal as frack. A seasoned tongue, it's just so fun to watch him suffer dealing with morons and bad food, one couldn't help but feel sorry for the guy! His brilliance just doesn't end. I'll admit one of the reasons I love this show is I'm. A world traveler, and one of the things I keep an active interest in is cuisine. Having been to France recently, I always look forward to the French restaurant episodes!In short, if you like crackdown justice shows like me, you will regardlessly love this show!
