This is an actual email I got this week from the producers of Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. I probably received it because as the Events Manager, my email address is prominent on the restaurant's website.
First of all, are they REALLY wishing us a "successful New Year"?? I mean, if the restaurant is successful, there really is no need for Chef Ramsay to come in and call us all "FAT DONKEYS!", now is there?
I think the absolute LAST thing you would want to do if you were running a failing restaurant is publicize the fact that your restaurant sucks ass on national TV. After about a month of nosy bitches coming in to look for "the Fat Donkeys who can't run a restaurant", you would probably have to close up for good.
Hi there,
This is XXXX, a casting associate from Fox TV's hit show "Kitchen Nightmares" starring Gordon Ramsay.
If your restaurant may need some help (no matter how big or small the problems) and you would like Gordon Ramsay's help, definitely contact us immediately. Just send us an email, tell us your story, where you are located, size of your restaurant and all of your contact info. We may be visiting you soon.
We are casting immediately and looking for great restaurants in your area [Ed. note: why are they looking for "great restaurants"? Aren't they really looking for "restaurants that suck ass"??]. In case you are not familiar with the show, it is a Fox TV Show where each week acclaimed chef Gordon Ramsay goes into different restaurants and helps them fix their varying problems.
I have included the general info below.
Please feel free to contact myself or XXXX, the senior casting producer with any questions you may have.
Thanks!
XXXX
PLEASE REPLY TO: XXXXXXXXXX@XXX.COM IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE SHOW
Wishing you and your restaurant family a HAPPY, HEALTHY & SUCCESSFUL NEW YEAR!!
If your restaurant does not need help, maybe you know one that does ?

Needless to say, they didn't get a response from us.

that's crazy, but interesting
Ha. Man, I wish I had that person's email address. I send them to Taco Loco (http://www.tacolocopgh.com/) this horrible Mexican place here in Pittsburgh. Ugh! We need some good Mexican here.
I am not a fan of GR- what a douchenozzle! Send him the address of every Denny's and White Castle in the tri-state area!
Run! Hide! Bar the doors!
(Though I think you would make reality tv history if you socked him in the nose...)
I can't stand Gordon Ramsey. He doesn't treat people with common respect and I don't like that.
He's not as bad on the Nightmare show as in the Hell show, but that's not saying much.
What sort of idiot would volunteer for that? I've never seen the actual show, but he seems like such an ass on the previews.
