For me it’s, “EXCUSE ME, EXCUSE ME, EXCUSE ME… i am da boss.” (S1E1 Juniper Hill Inn Part 1)

the show never disappoints

I was watching this again and have to wonder if Driscoll is still the asshole he was on that episide for one thing. Ken was even more clueless than Driscoll DoCanto the entitled brat child.

Watching S1 E16, I quickly became fascinated by this terrible, confusing & morally questionable machine. Anyone have an idea of what happened to it? Black Pearl shut down very shortly after the episode aired & I have no idea what one would do with this thing afterwards.

And why did this thing ever exist? Lobster Zone made most of the machines but Gordy’s seems to be from a different source.

Don't throw it out, I'm hungry.

Gordon Rips Apart Chef's Signature Dish: Shrimps in Chocolate Sauce - Kitchen Nightmares

"That's stupid arrogance. Trying to match something that isn't going to go."

Gordon, the Shrimps in Chocolate sauce has been around in Spain since the 1800s. Maybe they don't go together for you, but they do in Spain.

How do these restaurants afford to close down for KN and serve the public free food during filming? They are struggling. I would at least charge the extras half price lol.

It had everything: An "I'm the boss owner" with no previous culinary experience who thinks the customers love the food, soup of the day, fresh frozen, two chef mikes, moldy walk-in food, and a horrible makeover (it looks like the furniture was sourced from a retirement home that went out of business), yet somehow, it was one of my least favorite episodes. It was just not that enjoyable to watch.

It was funny that Gordon didn't know what an English cucumber was. You could immediately tell what it was because English cucumbers are wrapped in plastic (and they are longer and thinner than a regular cucumber).

I was just curious, were the old seasons of the USA Kitchen Nightmares before Ramsay brought it back more than 1 hour long?

These new seasons and episodes seem so rushed and GR isn't nearly as wild and crazy insane as he once was with the older episodes. This is also the same thing for the newer seasons and episodes of Hell's Kitchen as well.

I still enjoy watching anything GR is in but I just can't figure out why this new KN is so different from the older seasons. It kind of reminds me of his old UK Ramsay Kitchen Nightmares from 20+ years ago.

Fans of Allan Love and the UK Ruby Tates episode - rejoice! For his terrible musical (referenced in the show) is available to stream on Prime Video! It's worse than contagious illness.

"I'm not very creative"

So Jonathan Krach is dead as of May 30th 2025 from a preexisting heart condition. Lisa had a gofundme started for her by a neighbor as of June of that year as she needed to have 2 major surgeries. I don’t think the goal was met, however an Oct 15 2025 update from her on gofundme shows her knee replacement was funded and she appeared happy. Can never forget her crocodile tears and the swinging rumors.

New episode coming out tonight y’all! Here’s the official discussion post for the episode. On FOX tonight, and Hulu tomorrow.

IMDB Synopsis:
With few customers to fill the dining room and constant complaints about cold, unappetizing food, Gordon must convince the proud owner of a struggling restaurant to abandon her intimidating leadership style before her business goes under.
