All of the restaurant/bar/hotel reality shows amaze me. If I were an owner they would have to pay me enough to retire to get me to put my business on their shows. Talk about a failing business- who wants to go to a restaurant that had filth/rodent/insect infestation even after a clean-up remodel if it has the same owner? Who would want to go to a hotel that stated they did not even have working fire alarms? Shoddy management is shoddy management and if the owner of the local dine and die or hotel waiting for a fire to crispy everyone closes up and opens a remodeled restaurant/hotel I am still not going.

I know. And the worst thing about those restaurant/bar/hotel remodel shows is that they humiliate you so much. I guess that’s why people watch. I saw one yesterday that was like that. Restaurant Impossible. The host just browbeat the guy until he started crying. Again, I guess that’s why people watch.

I doubt that any restaurant is as poorly managed as those Gordon Ramsay supposedly "rescues." And in any case, half of them go out of business within a year of his charming touch anyway.

That whole show is nothing but a promotional gimmick for Gordon Ramsay Enterprises. He's an ass, his show is fake, and his "help" is about as useful as a wet match.
