Over the winter break, I had quite a bit of time to revisit television shows that I enjoy. One of the shows that I found playing over and over again on several different channels was the somewhat addicting show Kitchen Nightmares starring British chef Gordon Ramsay. For those who have not seen the show, the premise of the show involves Ramsay and his quest to turn around a struggling restaurant and/or  a struggling family. While the plot can be somewhat formulaic (I find the BBC version of the show much more entertaining and less like FOX reality television) there is still a fair amount of entertainment watching the foul-mouthed chef transform a restaurant. Typically, Ramsay helps to create a menu that is usually described as simple, fast, and fresh.
