What I learn in Kitchen Nightmares: -If the owner said "Our food is good", or rating it 10/10 = It's always bad. -If the menu is too much = It's confusing, definetly and the food is also bad. -If it's a family restaurant, everyone will blame each other and throw every single family members under the bus. If the owner is married, they will blame their restaurant for damaging their marriage. -There's always scenario like this: 1. Good Owner, Bad Chef 2. Bad Owner, Good Chef 3. Both of Owner and Chefs are bad -The food is always frozen, raw and overcooked -The kitchen is always filthy and sometimes there's cooked ingredients placed next to raw ingredients -The owner is always on denial until Gordon showed them their filthy kitchen and they finally realize they're wrong -Gordon's always nice to the servers as he knows their job is to deliver the food not making them. -Good Ending : The Restaurant is operating succesfully and the owner is always happy Bad Ending: The owner is going back to their old ways only to close few months later

I’ve even heard them say ji-roh while speaking Greek.

[@johnclark926]

It’s so surreal how much has changed and how much has stayed the same since the original Kitchen Nightmares. I like that they’ve kept the peppy background music and calmed down the dramatic sound effects, it’s a good medium between the dead silent UK way and the comically obtuse US execution. The camerawork also gave me a jolt, it’s trippy going from the home movie-style shots to something that resembles what you’d see coming from an actual cinema.

[@rosiefay7283]

I just watched the episode on Hulu, and it was great. It's great to have Kitchen Nightmares back. I always wondered though - don't these restaurateurs watch the old episodes of the show and then prepare adequately for Gordon's arrival? Or are they just THAT dirty?

[@barbietings5871]

5 star resturants are thoroughly cleaned. Most restaurants do not do a deep clean like EVER.

@@captainobvious9233 I have to disagree, sure maybe they're encouraged to throw in some drama BUT considdering that 80-90% of these resturants get closed / go bankrupt a few months after the show anyway i'm fairly confident that this is just how these people are. They are that deluded, they are that dirty and they are that argumentative.

Although it's great we're getting a new season of this show and Ramsay is still as charming as ever it's sad to see the same faulty restaurant practices seen on TV 16 years ago are still being rehashed by new ignorant owners despite how much info there is now about how to correctly operate and maintain a restaurant. Some people were just not meant to own/operate a restaurant... :(

[@negano5654]

Its has they say, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. With restaurants, you will always get faulty practices over teaching correct practices that can make a change in the business. No matter how much info you get out there or you ask for Michelin's Chef's like Gordon, someone will always be stubborn, proud or lazy to seek help when in these scenarios of owning/ operate a restaurant. This show actually gives a scary feeling sometimes of what happens if you can't run a business for food properly, which sadly in the restaurant industy is what happens in the most because people cut alot of corners to serve people
