I adore this guy he has a new Kitchen Nightmares show based in the USA I saw the first show the other night it was fantastic he really tells it like it is.Its really just common sense in my opinion.I love his philosphy(sp)
That place was serving rotton food and Peter was not paying the bills or contributing in any way.In fact he just strutted around and his family was not happy with him either and the cooks had less than decent equipment to cook.The bill collectors should not have had to have confront him in the first place if the bills were paid.Bills need to be paid.Peter was quite arrogant but it seemed he changed is mind because the bottom line is the more costumers the more profit is made.IMHO Gorden tells it like it is I have worked restaurants for over 30 years the people he is giving a hard time need to hear it.I believe chefs can be really harsh because a restaurant can be a hard living which is why I refuse to start a restaurant on my own even with alot of investors its just too hard.I disagree completely. Peter had the best attitude and had been running the restaurant for years before Gordon Ramsey stuck his nose in! I particularly liked the way he dealt with bill collectors.
I didn't like Gordon Ramsey in his previous show where he created nothing but conflict and discord by abusing his staff. As a restaurant owner, I very much enjoyed watching his reasoned and persistant to turning Peter's restaurant around. I think the new show is going to be a hit. It's scary to think that there are lots of other restaurants out there that we may visit regularly which are much like the "old" Peter's Restaurant.
