I didn't see the show when it aired but you can see parts of it he

Even before Chef Ramsay got there, the cameras were in place. They
caught the guy screaming at customers. Both of them were having hissy
fits. The guy says they invited Ramsay there to "tell people" [who had
been posting negative reviews (two years! before Ramsay got there) "how
good the food is". Um, that's not why he went there. He doesn't go to
restaurants like this to sing their praises; it's not what the show is
about. They're obviously delusional. It's pretty funny if you like
watching a train wreck.

BTW, the guy admitted he doesn't give servers their tips (if on a credit
card) saying, "I pay them hourly wage." Yeah, maybe the hourly wage for
employees wherever he's from (sounds like a country in a former Soviet
Union) is sufficient to live on. In Scottsdale, Arizona? Not friggin
likely.

Ramsay made a point of handing his server *cash* right in front of them,
saying, "You deserve this."
