FOX seeks failing restaurants

FOX is seeking failing restaurants to be part of its Kitchen Nightmares reality series, in which host Gordon Ramsay turns them around.

If you have a restaurant that's been open for a year and are interested, you can contact the casting folks at twinsworld1@aol.com. Oh, and kindly let us know, too.

Before signing on the dotted line, you may want to watch what happenedto the Fair Lawn restaurant that participated two years ago. The out-of-sequence editing and mischaracterizations have been discussed exhaustively here.

But it worked out OK for the restaurant. It's profitable today, and still employs some of the cost-saving measures that Ramsay installed.
