This is like Restaurant Impossible! The owners and staff are often obstinate about changing the menu and procedures that are failing them. I've been going through seasons of it since the quarantine started. It's really wholesome and you can watch Robert Irvine beat shit with a sledgehammer.

I like restaurant rescue shows in concept when they're like "your portion sizes are too big for your cost! You're unadvertised! Let's throw a parade!" stuff but 99% of them are just criminal. It's usually people not paying their staff or forcing their family to be free labor which is already abhorrent but literally restaurant owners should be thrown in jail for public endangerment.

People serve contaminated, rotten, spoiled, improperly cooked, mislabeled, and otherwise mishandled food to a community then get a slap on the wrist followed by a halfhearted 'sorry for poisoning everyone! Come back when we reopen! We're paying no one's medical bills!' Like, I don't care that much about this person's "dream" over diners' safety. Let them fail. Spend that money that's fairly regularly wasted and the fan volunteer work for that episode on an up-and-coming chef or on any local business that's not also an operational felony.

Resteraunt Impossible is different from Kitchen Nightmares in that Gordon Ramsey will try his damndest to come at it in a very human way, and only gets pissed off if someone is just plain not doing their best/insisting on not seeing the problem-- Robert Irvine’s response is very much an instant “You’re neck deep in shit and i’m the motherfucker with the shovel. I’ll leave if you bitch about it, but only if you really manage to piss me off.”

Basically it’s a difference of who goes to “Please see that I don’t think you’re a failure, but i also that i have enough success to have been called in to help, so please just fucking listen.” before “I’m going to build a boat with holes in the bottom to illustrate what you’re doing to yourself, your business, and your family, then sit you in it in the middle of a lake.” faster. 

Also robert is much more physically intimidating. If i was having a calm discussion with Gordon Ramsey, i’d be ok. If i was having the same conversation with Irvine, i’d feel like screaming was gonna happen instantly. Just because he’s like 98% muscle and is like just shy of 6 foot with that. Somehow this all negates that Ramsey is in fact taller than him. idk

restaurant  Impossible is basically food network version of Kitchen Nightmares ( and with less swearing)
