Now, now, I didn't say "dick".
Wait, maybe I should have - that's not politically correct.

Robert Irvine is my new favorite human beingI take it I'm not the only one with an eye-spiltting hangover this morning, eh? The good news is I don't have to go in to work until 5PM. The bad news is I'm too nauseous to go back to bed, because it's like being on the open ocean in the midst of a tsunami. Man, I pity the poor slobs that come to me seeking "customer service" this evening. A Wednesday night with the Food Network, peanut butter crackers and cheap vodka. Just say no, kids.

I don't see how it is humanely possible to completely renovate not only a restaurant, but it's staff as well in a mere 48 hours with a budget of $10,000. You also have to question how many of these places stay with Irvine's makeovers, let alone remain in business. For example, SPIKE tv's Bar Rescue has a surprising amount of places where the owners said to hell with the changes and went back to their old ways and habits.

On Gordon Ramseys Kitchen Nightmares they don't let the restaurant KEEP all the overnight changes. Something about "this is what you COULD do" if you spent the money. They take out all the changes or allow the restaurant to purchase them outright. Kinda lame and a bit of trickery on the viewer.“Great losses often bring only a numb shock.

He tore into an old lady a couple of weeks ago.
He's yelling "you're a hoarder and you need help!"
Some of these places he walks into are downright disgusting.

I am convinced that show is scripted and the staff are all paid actors. The episode featuring the sociopath-filled family of a joint called Burger Kitchen was totally unbelievable. Hell, they were more like the Manson family than anyone else.
Even so, check out this list of closed restaurants formerly featured on Ramsay's show: What restaurants on "Kitchen Nightmares" have closed?Last edited by chefcraig; 05-31-2012, 06:47 PM.

Yeah the Ramsay show is completely unbelievable. Same script every week, they pay customers to come in to create a rush.
If you look at reviews of the restaurant online afterwards 4/5 they have either closed or they are as bad as they were before he went in.
It's actually an offshoot of the original UK version which was much better, a lot less contrived and fake.Comment

Shoes is there any timetable on when you'll hear back about this? Maybe go for a second interview?Comment

They said they wanted to wrap it up quickly - but that's on university time.
Oh dear.

Well I hope they at least give you a courtesy e-mail either way. I've applied for jobs before where they simply don't talk to you again if they've gone with someone else and I find it quite unprofessional.Comment

Yeah I hope so too. I'm being really positive about this one, I think it would be really weird if I didn't get a second interview.
Oh dear.

Just ignore Elvis. I'm not taking it to heart - and I'm not on a road to nowhere. Especially if that's any place he is.
Oh dear.
