Kitchen Nightmares BBQ

[BlowinSmoke]

There should be a rule that to call yourself a barbecue resteraunt that you have to have a smoker, to me that's the only true barbecue....

I used to like this show, but all the screaming, cussing, and rhetoric got old after a while. I will watch it if nothing better on now.

It is interesting that Ramsey's own restaurant failed (as pointed out in several episodes); I'm surprised that more of the chef's/owner's that are being berated by him don't point that out when they dissagree with him.

Bullocks!

What is it about BBQ that speaks to you?

We like to say we bleed BBQ. We test each and every batch of ribs we cook. After a period of time you develop a palate that can identify subtle flavors and nuances just as a wine connoisseur can tell about wine. A perfect rack of ribs is a work of love and passion. The best part is when the guest tells you it is the best ribs they have ever had in their life. Good BBQ is no accident so it is rewarding when you get some great feedback. After Chef Ramsay helped us develop our sauce I knew we had a competition level BBQ sauce with the potential for branding world wide.


How did J. Willys Barbeque House come about?

We named it after the operating partner John William Ittenbach and it was his childhood nick name. John’s sister, Linda suggested it. Before Chef Ramsay arrived it was just J Willy’s Bar and Grill; he was the one who branded us as a barbecue house, although we did serve ribs and bbq pork. We then decided to come up with a menu that was similar to every casual theme concept we could think of in an attempt to copy a mix of Chilis, Applebees, Ruby Tuesday etc. Obviously that did not work out for us, so we asked Chef Ramsay for help.

Well I dont bleed BBQ but I have been know to cr@p BBQ after a good feed and I got a feeling from what I have read about this place.. Their "BBQ" is jut that... cr@p

Maybe they like to soak the ribs in liquid smoke so it has that subtle flavour that a true connoisseur can detect.

Roxy I'm glad you said it. I'm usually a man of my word but I've been trying to hold it in. I agree with you wholeheartedly. I was gonna give them the benefit of the doubt till I read that hokey interview. That dude is full of it. I bleed bbq my azz! Love to meet him in person and let him know how full of s@&t he is. As far as I'm concerned he's just trying to save his azz from his 1.2 million dollar dept. Selling a bbq sauce he didn't even make. The one they were using looked like sticky tar and they were serving it.

I can't get enough kitchen nightmares. Either the UK or US versions.

The lighting and color are better on the US version, but content wise I have to give it to the UK version. Hate the "incandescent" look though.

With all or most of these places being in serious debt, I wonder what Chef Ramsey charges for his "service" or is it FREE?? Is this FREE just to make a TV show??

Just Ramsey himself to be there has to be expensive much less all of his staff and camera crew.....for several days at a time.

Wonder what kind of "waiting list" he has of potential failures that are asking for his help??

Also would be interested to know what kind of "contract" he has with these places....being as rude as he is to owners and staff and no one throwing his ass out the door.

I love that show too..........but man, not sure I could stand to be talked to like that either..
