Very true.

I once dined at a place that was featured on the other show with Robert
Irvine. I was astounded that they were on there because the food had been
so very good! Although we dined there many years ago. Apparently the
problem was that somebody died (can't remember who) and the other relatives
were trying to run it but failing. One of the bunch had sort of taken
charge and she came across as very pig headed. Robert did help them but
then the pig headed one just closed the restaurant within weeks after Robert
had been there. So by the time the show aired, people saw it and were
eager to dine there. But no more! There were tons of complains online at
yelp or some place like that from the locals who felt that if the woman had
just given it a chance she would have made money. The place is sort of out
in the middle of nowhere which is what led us to stop there. I was hungry
and there was no place else.
