“Iu0026#39;ve enjoyed Kitchen Nightmares since the earliest British episodes (that was a very different show, GR much calmer and more constructive); and the format tweaks in the new series represent a considerable u0026#39;improvement for the worseu0026#39;. The false jeopardy of doing the shows in 24 hours makes the whole thing seem frantic, and there is no chance to assess what has happened – for either the restaurant or the viewer. Visiting the restaurant in disguise is a stupid gimmick; itu0026#39;s not as though restaurants in previous series had been able to deceive GR about the quality of the food! Iu0026#39;m only thankful he didnu0026#39;t try to do the accent.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI feel as Coke fans probably felt when they changed the formula: something I thought I could rely on has let me down.”
