I love to watch Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares on BBCAmerica and his new show, Kitchen Nightmares, on Fox. Go ahead, judge me.
Anyway, last week's show was about an Italian restaurant in New Jersey, Campania. It was completely mismanaged and being run into the ground. Okay, as usual, menu revamp, management schooling, interior redesign, etc. First night, grand re-opening. I'm sure quite a few people attend because it's going to be on TV.
There's a table with two couples, my guess, mother and daughter with accompanying husbands. Now, mother has the look. Big hair, make-up, work-out suit, etc. They are complaining about the food. "I can cook better than this." **Well, then, eat at home, B***h. Whatever.** Everybody else in the restaurant looks pretty happy about the food. They eat everything but the bones. The complaining doesn't stop. Ramsey goes out to talk to them after they complain to the waiter, who doesn't know what to do.
This is why I love Gordon. He looks at the empty plates. She starts the spiel about how she sent the food back (she didn't), her husband's hungry, yada, yada, yada. Gordon tells her she's talking out of her rear. Basically, nicely, f**k off. Then walks away. She follows him, still complaining, he keeps blowing her off. He goes to the hostess stand. She stands there. When someone comes in (apparently, you can't see them off-camera), he says, "Welcome to Campania, etc. I'm sorry about the old bag." The woman's face was hysterical. It was frozen, I think, from Botox, but her eyes got huge! I really wish I knew what happened after that.
Later on, a second SC emerged. There was a large party, and the kitchen had fallen way behind. The party was getting plastered. Then when they leave this one women starts complaining about the food, probably trying to get some of the meal free. (Honestly, they did wait a long time for the food, and if they had said something, politely, they probably would have been comped for part of it, but don't be a drunken whiner.) Note that at this point she can't even stand straight. She's saying the fish tasted like pond water, and things like that. She went outside and another customer jumped her, and kept yelling at her, "Why did you keep eating if it was so bad?" Finally security drove through and they left.
How lovely, you're both now on TV, hopefully, widely seen throughout New Jersey by every restaurant, and will never be served again.
