Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares episode of a nearby restaurant in 100% fake

So last summer they filmed an episode of Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares at a place on my block. It's so close by I saw a lot of what was happening during the week they were here. The episode recently aired so I got to see the final results (link to watch episode)

The place has drag shows on Friday evenings which I thought was kinda bold in this blue collar formerly anti-gay nabe. I've never been to this restaurant before so I really can't comment on the food /ambiance/prices etc.

However, seeing the episode now I can tell you everything about it is 100 percent fake. I mean everything.. All the customers shown dining there, fake, the employees, fake, the food wasn't even cooked there, it was all prepared in the kitchen trucks outside, fake.

That PARTICULAR show seems extra fake. Gordon would be dead by now if his hysterics and bullying were real. I'm pretty mild mannered but I would cut a bitch if they got in my face like that.

the uk version seems pretty real. i don't know why they didn't just copy the format over. maybe american audiences really are that stupid but it's such a better show.

I hear this show and Restaurant Impossible are used by restauranteurs who want to sell, so they get the show in to renovate the place before putting it on the market.

The show understandably did a call to the public to come eat at the restaurant during the times that Gordon would be there. They needed to ensure that there were guests there and not an empty restaurant. They needed people willing to be on camera. They needed outside people who were not ringers or friends of the owners. They are still real people eating the food at this restaurant.
