Billy looks like a genuinely strong cook! Even before the transformation, his crab cake was up to Gordon's standard. His salmon was also properly cooked and likely fresh (or Gordon would have judged differently). He might just be a bit shy and introverted to be an executive chef or restauranteur. I'm so glad he's working as the president of a food company now. A much better position for him to shine!

Yeah, and given how easily he'll push something aside for being too bland, or too garlic-y, or too salty, or not sufficiently seasoned... or too dry, too wet, too greasy, too rubbery, overcooked, undercooked, or just plain "tastes like it was frozen and reheated" (all of which, of course, is based on a great deal of experience and understanding of the cooking arts)... Given all of that, "The crab cakes were good!" before he's even come in and changed anything, is some very high praise indeed.^^

Because In the cooking industry it's merit. So you often see people taking credit even though it was your idea or especially if you did most of the work. When you make a simple mistake you're not reassured to try again. Instead, you're laughed at by every chef. There's no room for mistakes in this career or in the industry of commerical cooking.

The Mixing Bowl was a restaurant in Bellmore, New York that was featured in season one, episode five of Kitchen Nightmares. The episode aired in 2007, and the restaurant closed in January 2009, a little over a year later. In the episode, Chef Ramsay worked with the restaurant's owner, Billy Galetti, to address issues with the menu, appearance, and staffing. The restaurant was struggling due to increased competition and low customer numbers. As of late 2014, the location was occupied by a new restaurant called Greek Delight. Past that I don't know

They _do_ sign some sort of waver and are likely told by the crew to do certain things, but that's likely just it. The major events that happened, such as Mike forgetting to make a reservation for the basketball team, isn't staged. Besides, it'd be hard to make stories like these constantly for seasons.

@@sengasengana it's not fully staged, they look awkward and like bad actors because people are not used to being on camera all the time, also the editing is old-fashioned. What could be called "staged" is that some things are designed by the producers to create drama i.e: they "plant" different triggers like disgusting stuff in the fridge or the dining room, or they send extras as customers with the mission of being as demanding as possible (hence all the dishes returned), and also to fill the place with orders to create pressure and stress, but they don't tell all this to Gordon, they just give him a concise brief about the restaurant and let him run his method and they film his reactions to what they know he will find... the reactions to all these traps are genuine.
