I don't want to turn this blog into a casting call for reality food shows, but I do think the following information is worth sharing. Particularly in a tough economy, independent Florida restaurant owners can use all the exposure (and help) they can get.
With this in mind, I've re-posted below a note I received a few days ago from a producer with Gordon Ramsay's "Kitchen Nightmares" show on FOX. Happy New Year's!
===============================================================
Love your blog!! We have just begun casting Season 2 of Gordon Ramsay's "Kitchen Nightmares" for FOX in Florida, NY/Tri-state, Boston, Philly, and So Cal. Thought you might have a few insider tips on some kitchens that need turning around ;) Or maybe one of your favorite restaurants that just can't seem to fill the seats or has terrible service....
If you know anyone who might want to apply to have Chef Gordon Ramsay come into their establishment for one week to troubleshoot their problems and try to get them back on the road to success have them email us at KitchenNightmares@TheConlinCompany.com
* Restaurants must be open for 1 year and have at least 35 seats.
