I have always loved watching chef ramsay since the very beginning, from Hell’s Kitchen to Kitchen Nightmares to Masterchef to Hotel Hell. In my opinion, he is DEFINITELY the right man to call for help to fix a failing restaurant. God bless him always.

Love the show. I watch all of Gordon Ramsay’s shows.

I agree with the other 2 people.
I will watch basically all of Gordon. If BBC America let me know better, I would watch his shows that are on there as well.
I do not agree with Samara that Kitchen Nightmares is his worst show. That has to go with that awful bed and breakfast show he had on earlier this year. It was so bad I could not stand to watch more then the first episode.

Love the Show. I am sure it would do MUCH better on a different night.

I always watch anything with Gordon Ramsey! He is truly a remarkable businessman, and a genius with food, as well as being just a good man! That said, “Kitchen Nightmares” is my least favorite of all his shows, and not because of him! The restaurant owners are just too over-the-top, disrespectful (to both him and their staff), and undeserving of his help! My favorite will always be “Hell’s Kitchen”!!
