the other Fawlty Towers?

Well, sort of.

For those of you who may not have heard of Chef Gordon Ramsay, he’s a famous, successful and, shall we say outspoken, British Chef and restaurateur who’s been the subject numerous TV shows.

In one of his shows, Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, he travels to failing restaurants to analyze their problems and implement a turnaround.

So, in one particular episode he visits a nice little seaside hotel/restaurant on the English Channel called The Sandgate, which he refers to as “a real life Fawlty Towers.”

Ok, so the owner isn’t actually a raving lunatic. But the place is crazy disorganized. And Chef Gordon is always up for a rant of his own.

BBC America’s schedule says The Sandgate episode will be playing tomorrow morning and a few more times in the coming weeks.

One cautionary note: Chef Ramsay’s language, if not his food, is very salty (Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson referred to him as “a professional swearing enthusiast”). Plus, BBC America, being both British and on cable, doesn’t bleep out as many expletives as normal US TV. Parental discretion is advised for those of delicate constitution.

bbc canada doesn't beep out any
 
I have caught his show on a few occasions and he is definitly "very entertaining"!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/devilgrin.gif
 
I love this show, however it is not for the faint of heart when it comes to showing how truly disgusting some of the restaurant kitchens can be. (It makes you never want to leave the house!)
This came from one of my students recently who did his science fair project on comparing which was cleaner a fast food ice machine or fast food toilet water (You REALLY don't want to know which one turned out to be cleaner!)

That’s something I love about Ramsay. How many of those “celebrity” chefs out there would hurl on camera and not make them edit it out?
