A recent episode of Kitchen Nightmares was hyped as truly momentous: celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay went to the one single restaurant in the history of the show that was so dysfunctional that he gave up, declared it unfixable, and walked out.
The setting? Philadelphia. Fishtown, to be more precise.
In July, 2007, the Philadelphia Weekly slammed Hot Potato Café as "Spuddy Hell." Some time in the past year, Kitchen Nightmares put Ramsay on a Girard Avenue trolley to Fishtown to see what he could do.
Ramsay is notorious for his NSFW language. I don't watch the show that often, but it seemed to me that the owners sure do give him a run for his money. Yay, Fishtown!
Entire episode available on Hulu. The Weekly has posted a new, post-Nightmares review -- obviously, Ramsay came back and the restaurant made some changes. But I won't totally spoil the ending.
