Last night my husband and I watched Kitchen Nighmares. I just don’t see how most of these restuarant can still be around by the time Ramsey gets there. It is amazing how many owners and chiefs leave their kitchen get so bad it makes me want to puke while watching Tv and I can’t even smell the stuff. I wonder how Ramsey don’t lose his stomach in some of these episodes or how he has managed not to get deathly ill. I wonder if his life insurance would cover his death if he got killed by one of these restuarants. Sorry I hope that never happens to him, but my goodness these people have got to know better.
Okay my husband and I don’t always get to our lift over but I can say we’ve never had them in our freg as long as this restuarant did last night. I’d like to know how they couldn’t see the green mold growing on the pesto he had. Okay I cook for my husband and I and you know I will not cook food that doesn’t look good! I would never have served anyone what that kitchen was serving Ramsey, and I honestly have to say I am glad I have never been there. I will say I am glad the guy sold the restuarant to someone else hopefully the new owners will take better care of the restuarant.
The kitchen was dirty not as bad as other but bad enough where if the health department comes in and looks at it, they would have closed the restuarant down probably permanently. The walls were disgusting, they didn’t show the kitchen faucets but I am sure they probably needed to be cleaned to. What gets me is some of the excuses the owner gives. It’s the chiefs responsiblity, or I didn’t know it was that bad. I am sorry who owns the restuarant the chief or you, who owns it is responsible. I am pretty sure if I ever got food posioning I wouldn’t go after the Chief I would go after the Owner. The owner is the one reliable to make sure the Chief is doing his job. Being an owner means you have to be a good manager and if you can’t do that and manage your restuarant then you shouldn’t be doing that line of work.
Now what I find surprising is the Chief response of Oh I didn’t know it was that bad. Excuse me but who the one who goes and get the ingredents, can’t you smell mold or rooting food. I know I can! I understand that sometimes the chief has other working with him, but still the chief should be making sure what leaves his kitchen is good. I would say if you can’t give it to your mom or better yet your grandma then you better not give it to a costumer to eat it. This chief said he couldn’t throw things out, I am sorry but when it comes to food, sometimes you have to throw things out. Learn how to manage inventory better, or maybe get your supplies in more frequently and just order what you will need for a few days at a time. I think that kitchen had problems with management and lack of good planing as far as inventory.
