I could be responsible for that confusion :-) Someone else had referred to
Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares. It was (still is) on Food Network Canada. IMO,
it was on far too often.

It was interesting enough to see it once or twice, but there were a number
of episodes and in each one he goes into a failing restaurant, usually run
by someone who has no idea how to run a restaurant, and who have hired a
cook who really doesn't know much about cooking or running a kitchen, and
who is supposed to be supervising a crew who generally don't give a damn.
He generally creates confrontations with the staff, runs them down,
embarrasses them, swears a lot. It would make an interesting special, but
the format gets tired very quickly. it is just as well there were only a
few episodes, but they run them over and over and over.
