NTSC/Region 0. Four DVD set containing Series 1 and Series 2 of the UK edition of Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. There are a million ways to ruin a restaurant, but only one man has the audacity to attempt a rescue: Gordon Ramsay. In his storied career, Ramsay has earned 16 Michelin stars and launched culinary successes around the globe. This International Emmyr-winning series gives him one week to bring foundering restaurants back from the brink of collapse. Dishing out heaping helpings of truth--liberally peppered with profanity--Ramsay goes eyeball to eyeball with lazy chefs, surly servers, and clueless owners, sharing his unbridled passion for food and hard-won business acumen. And he always returns later to see whether his interventions have worked. Part comedy, part drama, and all reality, these Kitchen Nightmares give a strikingly unglamorous glimpse into the inner workings of restaurants and the people who run them.
