One was in New Orleans. I get them mixed up with the Restaurant Impossible (ewww) episodes, but have been to several madeover places.

None have been particularly wonderful, but it's always interesting.

The father had seated us & we recognized him on TV instantly.

Mr. pig & I were dining when a young couple seated across the center aisle jumped out of their chairs shrieking "There's a cockroach on the table!!!" A waiter came out & started swatting the tabletop with a napkin. The couple did a "We're outta here" while Mr. pig & I watched absolutely transfixed. It was one big bug.

We'd already eaten our -uh- meal, and the older man was actually nice to us, so we paid our bill & left.

She scares me.

*On edit; how can there be a part 2, I thought he walked away from that one because they refused to accept his help?

I think the continuation will be footage not aired from before, interviews with Amy and her husband since the original airing last May, and perhaps the backlash that ensued after the show....I very seriously doubt Ramsay is going back there and he'll be able to do a makeover on the place like on other episodes.....Besides, Amy accused him of sexual harassment, so this ends badly - no happy ending on this particular Kitchen Nightmare....

Amy was previously sentenced to 14 months for using a stolen SS number to open a fraudulent credit card account. Meanwhile France & Germany are trying to extradite Samy on drug trafficking charges.

You can't make this stuff up.

Plus, a number of foodie bloggers have pointed out that Amy's made-on-premises by Her Highness are from (drum roll) - Safeway.

Can't wait for next Friday.

Also, I preferred the UK series when it first started (I've watched most of them on YouTube) and can't get enough of Gordon's Scottish accent. I can't wait for the new season.
