Thinking about TV and seeing the Bruce's post about the charity diner getting take out, Gordon Ramsey (the chef at that gala event) has a show on BBC America now called Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares, where he spends a week at a restaurant trying to turn it around.
Unlike The Restaurant, where it seemed like nothing happened that wasn't approved by producers, the problems in the restaurants Ramsey visits are quite real. That or they've trucked in moldy ingredients and scum for the cook surfaces.
I will say the kitchen in the second episode wasn't too badly off - mostly an issue of communication - but the first one was pretty bad (they even had to close for a day to correct things the health board would take a dim view towards). Ramsey himself is fun to watch, and has good ideas when trying to point out problems and suggest solutions. He curses a lot, so if that bothers you be forewarned.
The show is on Tuesdays at 9 pm EST.
