It appears that if you want to be successful in the restaurant business the last person you should take advice from is Gordon Ramsay. The hot-tempered chef has berated numerous restaurateurs in a bid to whip them into shape in his Kitchen Nightmares TV show in the US. However, either his often colourful advice has either been duff, or fallen on deaf ears – the Daily Mail reports that all but two of the 21 restaurants visited in the first two US series have shut. However, things have got better with series five and six boasting a 77% success rate in keeping troubled restaurants afloat. Bon appetit!
