Review of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares

The place was a mess. The owner didn't have control of her bank account. Chef Ray did! But, she carried all the debt, loans, and credit debt owed. Chef Ray took $70,000 salary and worked less than 50% of the time. Why? He also worked at a pizzeria! What is wrong with this picture? Apparently Chef Ray managed to control her somehow. He was rude, non-communicative, and just a downright jerk, it didn't appear that he could even cook well, as most of his meals went out undercooked or over cooked. The food was ridiculously expensive for a restaurant in their area and I'm surprised they're still in business. After Gordon revamped the restaurant, helped her get rid of Chef Ray's toxicity, and brought in his own staff to help her restructure the kitchen and menus, what did she do? She allowed Chef Ray to return. I guess the saying you can't fix stupid is right on because who in their right mind would want to have him come back. He already took over control of all her finances, her business and the restaurant, and led it to a complete fail because of his attitude and arrogance. I feel sorry for the woman and I hope she finds a therapist to help her understand she can stand on her own and be successful without Chef Ray. Toxic relationships just don't get better, just like abusive relationships, they just continue to degrade and sometimes with dire results. Again she placed herself in a repeat situation. Hope she wakes up.
