Let's hope that one has been put to bed for good.

Kitchen Nightmares has already been international, it began across the pond first. No shortage of floundering businesses exist on this continent, less travel and cheaper to film - we expect the Canadian version soon?
If everyone remembers the new season was postponed for 3 or 4 weeks. I bet that they were going to go back and do the Nightmare treatment and things fell through (likely from the cat lady's side) so this episode was the result.

Look, that place is busier than Hell (if local news is to be believed). And so what if the food is lousy. People go once to see the freak show and still pay the tab.

I'd have to steer clear of that place! I'd most likely end up popping a cap in Amy's ass and probably her good-for-nothing-gangster husband too!!! The LAST thing we want to be reading about is Twinkle Toes arrested for murder!!!!! I don't look good in orange, and black and white stripes aren't my favorite either!

Well, see now you'd be in Maricopa County where Sheriff Joe is the man, so you'd be wearing a pink tutu and picking up trash on the side of the road.

I'm guessing they went back to Amy's Baking Company due to the publicity the company got after its Facebook posts. Not gonna lie, I did enjoy seeing those memes on TV.

I had no idea there were cartoons, (South Park?), songs, parodies and other "tributes" to those two self-centered. attention seeking, loud mouthed characters. I know Gordon wanted to do a follow-up, but he didn't want to go back there, and they didn't want him there, so he stayed in LA and hired a news reporter to do the interviews. I wonder if the Dr. Phil show that had them on is up on Netflix or Hulu? I think it aired April 9th.

In case you guys aren't aware. This Blog has somewhat recent updates on all seasons in the shows history. Checking on Yelp for most recent performance also helps

That is a very interesting link. Thanks. Somewhat appalling that, for Season 2 for instance, every single restaurant ended up closing.

I haven't watched the whole show mainly because I can't stand Dr. Phil. Add those two freaks and YIKES!
I watched a few clips here: Dr. Phil.com - Shows - <i>Kitchen Nightmares'</i> Most Controversial Couple on the Defensive!

Interesting link Red_Devil! I'm not surprised so many ultimately closed. Restaurants are a tough business.
