Allow me to blow my horn once again for Kitchen Nightmares as this week marks the unofficial start of the 2007 Season and Kitchen Nightmares debuts Wednesday night on FOX.

Variety gives the show a very promising “preview” here:

A simple premise, here: London restaurateur and “Hell’s Kitchen” sage Gordon Ramsay goes into troubled restaurants, shifts some duties, changes the menu and has some one-on-one sitdowns to get these eateries operating like Michelin three-star joints. Producers could not script more drama, or stereotypes, than at the family-run Long Island Italian restaurant featured in the premiere. Editors were clearly thrilled with what they were given — verbal explosions, potential fisticuffs, bill collectors, the bratty brother in charge and the silent hard-working sister who actually owns the place. “Kitchen Nightmares” is shockingly good storytelling and hilarious. This may be the most compelling show of the new season.

To bring you up to speed, Kitchen Nightmare’s is an American version of “Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares” which originated in the UK. BBC America airs reruns of the UK show several times a week. I love this shows UK version and can’t wait for Wednesday night’s US version premiere. From the description above and the few previews that FOX has shown, it looks to be a much more volatile version than the British one! This should suit Gordon Ramsay quite well.
