Amy's Baking Company was hilarious in just how bad the owners were.

Mill Street Bistro & Bar - the owner Joe, was the most delusional, arrogant, stubborn, & plain unlike able owner EVER!

Of course I've been watching. I also watched Gordon on BBCAmerica which aired Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Cookery School and the 4 part series, Ramsay Behind Bars which was pretty good.

I fear for Gordon's financial future and feel I must support him in all his endeavors ; )) Plus I find him entertaining.

She quit but I thought I saw her back again (?)
She might have been a good looking woman, but she was a troublemaker, a pot stirrer. One of those women your mother would have warned you about, lol!

You must not have caught the very end of part 2 Sarah quit. She probably only came back for the cameras the first time. Not a bad looking woman tho.

I felt bad for the owner John. Left school after 8th grade to work in the family restaurant, that's tough. Hope he can make it.

I saw the 2 parter. The sisters, particularly the older one cracked me up. At least this clueless owner was like able. But why is she taking back that troublemaker waitress Sarah, and keeping the ex-husband as the Head Chef? I think that decision will bite her in the butt when Gordon is gone.

I was surprised that it came back a couple of weeks ago with a 2 part season premiere. After Gordon had 3 shows running together in September I thought they'd give it a rest.

The 2 part episode was pretty good. I'm glad he was able to get the sisters back on track after it looked hopeless.

The recent episode with the seafood pasta, steak, continental fine dining, greek restaurant in Fremont, Ca..... Wow never get a trophy wife is what I learned. The 14 year old daughter was smarter and had her stuff together better than her mom! The wife spent close to a million dollars on renovations on a building they didn't even own! And she blamed her husband for not giving her a budget!!! Should have blamed him for her not having common sense too I guess, haha! I guess it ultimately was his fault. He should have know she'd mess up.

Sometimes I find it hard to believe these restaurant owners are for real

Boy some restaurant owners are so clueless, for example the owners of Park's Edge in Atlanta. How did they last 3 years? They did everything wrong.

Last night was great & it's not over. Next week is part 2 of the first to be continued episode in the shows history. It was a hamburger joint of all things & by the end of the show Ramsay looked totally drained. The chef had just been fired the son & part owner was unwillingly forced into the business when his dad took $250K from his Trust Fund.

I just watched this show for the first time. I really like it! I watched it on Hulu, and I plan to watch whatever episodes are available there.

It caught my eye because the episode featured a restaurant that I know: Luigi's in Orange County, CA. Chef Ramsey said the family who owns and operates it is the most dysfunctional outfit he's ever seen. It was like watching Jerry Springer, lol.

Last weeks season premiere was pretty good. The manager accused Ramsay of planting a dead mouse & the owner went along with it until Gordon said he was walking.

FOX aired a repeat episode last night at 8 followed by a new MASTERCHEF. With the season premiere of HELL'S KITCHEN on July 18th that means all 3 of Gordon's shows will be aired this month. Maybe FOX should change their name to Ramsay TV.

I really didn't think Gordon was going to be able to save those clowns tonight & in the end he didn't.

I think FOX does an excellent job with the re-visited shows. They catch you up to speed with the highlights & then the new footage. I thought that one woman may have used Gordon to get a free-makeover for her restaurant because she sold it right after he left.

Yesterday I saw an episode of the BBC version of the show and I think I liked it better. Maybe it was just a change of pace from the confrontational approach, but he played more of a mentoring role.

We watched it for a couple of seasons, but it seems that all of the unscripted scripts are about the same.
