Chef Gordon Ramsay versus hysterical US restaurant owners. Holy. Sh*t.
I don't normally watch this kind of bullshit, but I just had to this time. Very educational.
That was painful to watch.
Aren´t they actors? I don´t see any reason why you would put actual restaurants that need help (because they are so bad) into a tv show. It´s the worst "advertisement" you can wish for. Also nobody would misbehave like that knowing there is a camera-team right next to him. It was entertaining but fake.
Ever heard of the marketing phrase that publicity is publicity? Doesn't matter if it's bad or good.
There's a similar show in the Netherlands and I can assure you it's real, since the chef actually visits and fixes it. I ate at a few restaurants a Dutch chef fixed.
And yes they did the dramatic cut thing but all TV shows do that; clever decoupage. It's 95% real.
