the US version of Kitchen Nightmares. It all seems to staged/fake. IN the euro version these restaurants seemed real and cared about getting his help, but here it's the same formula,
- he comes in and hates the decor, food
- Owners won't take his help and say they love their food and have never had a complaint.
- Lots of screaming (yada yada yada)
- Owner breaks down and cries
- Miracously in a week's time a relaunch is done and the business is saved.
First off how can you teach a team who is failing miserably how to run a restaurant and cook in only a week. I would imagine when he opens up one of his restaurants he spends months in preparation with his chefs and front of house.
The show is mildly entertaining, but come on change it up a bit.

It is because the chefs in the American series are pre-madonna arrogant amateur brats that can't take criticism. I think his shows are ace, if you have ever seen his UK 'kitchen nightmares' series you will know that his bluntness and brutalness have resulted in saving restaurant owners businesses and homes.
Initially it is brutal for them, but by the end of the weeks they are in tears of joy. -

I went on a cruise in 2010 with Carnival and there where a lot of Americans, all they wanted was to get noticed, talk louder then anyone, do everything better then others, still they are fatter then anyone else and more.
I never watch reality shows worst coming from the US this primitive country that as not evolve the we do everything better then everyone mentality and they ask why the rest of the world hate then. -

I'll tell you what the biggest differences to me are:
We in the US are generally short attention span brats. We need histrionics and cash prizes. The US shows always contain the ultra drama andif having a successful business out of it isn't good enoughwe expect brand new decor, brand new fixtures, overnight make-overs and expensive mentors.
The UK version is completely about the love of the business. For a while, the only "prizes" they got were a signed clock and a return visit or such.
