They re-open tomorrow, press coverage likely to be high.

^Probably a good idea to wait a couple of weeks before going. If they’ve filled all the positions there’s going to be lots of first few day problems and with national attention, you know that hundreds or thousands will show up with a goal of angering the owners.

On the other hand, one thing is certain about restaurant do over shows and that that is to keep the owners away from the cooking, and also away from being servers. The shows all demonstrate that the key if not only role of the owner is to clean the toilets and glad-hand the customers, but maybe not in that order.

As an aside, I’ve watched 3 of the Kitchen Nightmare shows and they do a better presentation than does Restaurant Impossible. It seems KN has a way bigger budget and in the 3 shows I’ve seen, they tend to work with larger restaurants. They also appear to be more knowledgeable about psychology than does the group Mr. Irvine employs.

It’d be a hoot to see one of these guys have a do over of the other’s do over.

I'm sure they're on the 'net somewhere, but if you like this genre, check out the BBC Kitchen Nightmares, or better yet, "The F Word" which combines nearly all the cooking show genres into one.

Thanks. These shows have become a neutral ground of sorts so that both myself and my partner will watch at the same time. I don’t like the CSI series of series and she doesn’t like most of my picks, although she did like Breaking Bad.

Anywho, we're almost caught up with RI and even DI so this will be new meat, so to speak.

So much for that big press conference...

This is hilarious. She is as someone else said, "bat **** crazy". Sammy seems to be whipped. I do not think they will succeed.

As for TV, There are quite a few shows we like to watch. Most of them are comedies such as Two and a half men, Big Bang Theory. I do not see the issue with TV. So long as it is viewed as entertainment I do not see the issue.

But to each their own.

This show actually used to be pretty good on BBC. When it moved over to Fox they had to add all sorts of stupid fake drama to please US viewers.

The best actors in the world can't fake that kind of crazy.

While the reopening “went quite well” according to someone who attended, the Federal government was evidently so outraged by Amy’s lack cooking and personality skills that they’re gonna deport Sammi Bouzaglo, one of the owners!

OMG, OMG, what over reach!

Okay, I’m just kidding.

Mr. Bouzaglo evidently has some ongoing problems with customs and immigrations due to past issues related to alleged drug distribution, threats and extortion. This is not really a surprise given the way they are portrayed to have run their restaurant.

Evidently no one really cares because the reporter Carissa Loethen is so hot no one can pay attention to the news article.

There are reports that more than a few of the "customers with reservations" were public relations "plants" who were texting positive experiences.

^say it aint so!

People following the tweets did searches on LinkedIn and found that the people texting were in the public relations business. One of my favorite posts by doubter . . .

"You're not just a plant, you're a ficus."

^Sounds a bit like a relative of Sammi with a slight speech impediment.

So, will you do one for the other Peach Parts frequenters and pay them a visit??? I mean if it’s really only a 5 minutes away…..
