    does not seem surprising given their criteria for being on the show was something that was going to 100% close and then of course there is the track record in general on restaurants.

      I can’t remember what sketch show it was, but one of them made that joke.

      The end of the episode is always a packed restaurant, but that’s just because Gordan Ramsey is cooking the food, and if the restaurant could have made food like that in the beginning, they wouldn’t be on the show in the first place.

      Maybe it was Mitchell and Webb?

      I mean, if 80% fail in 5 years anyway, it sounds like KN has essentially no effect, good or bad.

        No effect would be if the restaurant was “average” to begin with. This is Kitchen Nightmares, these restaurants are already failing.

        We could say he takes restaurants that have a 100% chance of failure and moves them back to the industry average 80% chance of failure.
