KITCHEN NIGHTMARES -- "Mixing Bowl" http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/04/KITCHEN-NIGHTMARES----Mixing-Bowl.aspx Chef Gordon Ramsey continues his quest to help bring even the worst run restaurants back to life by visiting The Mixing Bowl Eatery in Bellmore, N.Y., in tonight’s episode of KITCHEN NIGHTMARES. As usual, there is a serious problem with this establishment’s management. And I have to tell you, that appears to be a consistent theme to every episode I’ve seen so far. I guess it makes sense. I mean restaurants are serious business, so if you have somebody running things that doesn’t understand the ins and outs of even the most basic principles of business, you are screwed. The Mixing Bowl’s idea of good business is giving out an abundance of coupons. You would think that is a smart thing to do, but if everybody coming in is eating for free – or close to it – you aren’t going to make a profit, even if you pack the place every night. The bottom line is – at least from what I can see – that poor hygiene and substandard cooking can be easily fixed. It is almost always more difficult to deal with the human aspect of this show than the rest. But Ramsey knows what he’s doing and he keeps proving that week after week. The Mixing Bowel is another family owned and operated restaurant. The owner is the head chef, his wife and sister work there and the bulk of his family is dependent on the business coming back to life. It’s always sad to watch these people break their backs just trying to break even. With loses in the thousands, closing down this restaurant could destroy this family. Without Gordon’s help, there may be no coming back from this disaster. So while the show is good entertainment for us, it is a matter of utmost importance to these people. This is why I say Chef Ramsay is really a softie inside, because he truly does care about helping these people get back to being profitable. But manager Mike isn’t helping to make this happen. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 KITCHEN NIGHTMARES -- "Mixing Bowl" http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/04/KITCHEN-NIGHTMARES----Mixing-Bowl.aspx 77 60 re: KITCHEN NIGHTMARES -- "Mixing Bowl" http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/04/KITCHEN-NIGHTMARES----Mixing-Bowl.aspx#1705 I love Gordon Ramsay and anything he does.lol<br />great show!! tinkluvspan http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/04/KITCHEN-NIGHTMARES----Mixing-Bowl.aspx#1705 Wed, 10 Oct 2007 00:33:53 GMT
