About the show
======================================================
From Gordon Ramsay, star of the FOX culinary boot camp series, Hell's Kitchen, comes another hot reality series, Kitchen Nightmares. Gordon Ramsay visits struggling restaurants across America and spends one week trying to help them become successful.
Hell hath no fury like an angry chef, and no chef has a sharper temper than Gordon Ramsay when things go wrong in the kitchen. The star of the highly rated culinary boot camp HELL'S KITCHEN returns to FOX with another sizzling unscripted series, KITCHEN NIGHTMARES. This time, Chef Ramsay hits the road, in each episode tackling a restaurant in crisis and exposing the stressful realities of trying to run a successful food business. For restaurant owners in crisis with lazy chefs in the kitchen, temperamental wait staffs and few and unhappy diners, it's time to call in the restaurant industry's equivalent of 911.
