Woo-hoo – New Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares UK – Yes, The Good One!
Author: Gordon Ramsay Unofficial Fansite // Category: Main Content
While reading between the lines on some old google alerts, I was ecstatic to discover that new episodes of my favourite television show, Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares have already been made! Yes that is the UK edition and not the bastardised over-hyped, poorly edited, super predictable US version!
The report talked about how a restaurant that was ‘rescued’ four months ago had Gordon Ramsay there four months later (from mid-December) to shoot his part of The Great British Food Fight. the restaurant is Silversmiths Restaurant in Sheffield City.
I can’t wait until I can go back and see a Kitchen Nightmare where I can learn something about restaurants and maybe a recipe or two, not just hyped up confrontations, a contrived story line mixed with renovations and a happily-ever-after ending. Not to mention the editing of fights where the peoples clothes change colour as they appear to make a number of exchanges, just one – before the revalation occurs (midway through the final service). Add to this the American arrogance of inviting Gordon Ramsay to your restaurant, then telling him he can’t cook, doesn’t know what he is talking about and that there is no problems because all of the customers love whatever the offend dish/feature is.
I only really watch the show because I am a Gordon Ramsay fan, and occasionally the script isn’t followed to closely.
In case you can’t tell, I’m not a big fan of the cookie cutter US version, it is like a cross between Jerry Springer and a renovation show, with lots of spoilers and recaps to fill in the time!
I’ll email Channel 4 and Optomen to see if I can find out when we can expect this! There will definitely be a counter on The Plonker Club homepage for this one, similar to the one we have for Hell’s Kitchen USA Season 5!
2009 is already becoming a great year!
