What was your experience the last time you visited one of your favorite Napa Valley restaurants? If you were disappointed with your dining experience, you may want to suggest to that restaurant that they apply for a makeover by chef Gordon Ramsay. Gordon Ramsay is the very fiery-tempered chef featured on the reality television show Kitchen Nightmares. This FOX TV show is presently searching for restaurants for its upcoming 5th season and hoping to find one or more in the prestigious Napa Valley.
Chef Ramsay is Mr. Fixit when it comes to restaurants. He is a restaurant consultant and restaurateur who has created many successful Michelin-starred restaurants. On Kitchen Nightmares, Chef Ramsay spends a week with a struggling restaurant using his skills to turn it around into a successful business. If you have seen the show, you know that Chef Ramsay holds nothing back. He takes a bold approach and does what is needed to get the restaurant back on track. I went to the Kitchen Nightmares website and viewed several clips from past seasons. It is quite an astonishing show. It is funny and embarrassing, and it is amazing for the audience to discover what goes on behind the kitchen doors. Although Chef Ramsay is quite arrogant and abrupt, it is apparent that he can do wonders to fix a fledgling restaurant and bring it back to profitability.
Perhaps Chief Ramsay has the right strategies for your restaurant to make it more efficient, cost effective and attractive to customers. If you are a Napa Valley restaurant and are struggling to stay alive, you can put your name in the hat by commenting here. The casting associates of Kitchen Nightmares, who alerted me to the restaurant search, will read the comments. You can also go to the Kitchen Nightmares Website and apply. It could turn out to be a great P.R. move.
I am glad to see that Napa is going to be spotlighted for more than just their wineries. I don’t think they are going to have too many issues finding come nice restaurants.
