Behind the Scenes

Every time I walk into a restaurant these days, I can’t help but wonder what really is going on behind the scenes. This was never the case until I started watching www.bestchoicetv.com. Friday night, on the Fox channel, you can get a glimpse of some not so nice things going on in places to eat, all over the country. Chef Gordon Ramsay takes on these restaurants trying to save them from closing their doors. Most of these owners have spent everything they have in hopes of keeping their livelihoods and dreams afloat.

As a last resort, they call in Ramsay to try and save them from going under. I must say, some of the things he finds are thoroughly disgusting. It isn’t surprising to find that it’s necessary to resort to drastic measures to get them on the right track. It can be heartbreaking to watch what the owners deal with on a day to day basis, feeling loyalty to their employees, but knowing everything may be a lost cause. It’s also, heartwarming when they find the answer and are able to turn their business around and make it the success they were hoping for. Believe me, after you watch this show, you may find yourself looking around at things you never paid much attention to before.
