HAIL TO THE VICTORS!

To that point, an interesting article about a Cooking Channel restaurant make over show and what it did at a restaurant that didn't need rescuing. Gives a little bit of insight into what goes into these reality makeover shows: http://www.austinchronicle.com/food/2014-01-31/what-if-your-restaurant-doesnt-need-redemption/

I think that show in particular is pretty bad.

A Chinese place near me that we've been going to for 25 years was on this show. They played up the drama between the two owner brothers but they were probably correct about the food being dated. The menu hasn't changed in the 25 years I've been going. But I wouldn't know if the new food was good because the old menu is still in use again.

I talked to the owner after the show and he said they had to remodel the remodel because everything was done so cheaply. That's probably the result of going on a low budget show. I imagine the budgets for things like Kitchen Nightmares and Bar Rescue are much bigger.

Here is the reveal for it: http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/shows/restaurant-redemption/radical-restaurant-reveals.html

I wonder if they've run out of interesting bar science items.

You can only mention stuff about keg yields so many times before it gets old.

This feels like a good episode because it's not trying too hard like the new ones.
