Can Gordon Ramsay Kill A Dead Restaurant?
Joshua Stein · 07/11/07 04:32PMThe lawsuit that a fired restaurant manager is bringing against Chef of the Realm Gordon Ramsay is the gift that keeps on giving. As we noted, Martin Hyde, the general manager at Dillon's, a failing theater district eatery, applied to be a part of Ramsay's show "Kitchen Nightmares." Hyde alleges Ramsay humiliated him, planted rancid meat in the fridge (is this a euphemism for something?) and hired actors to pose as customers. Hyde got fired and the restaurant is still failing as miserably as always. But, as Chris Shott writes in the today's Observer, the real question is whether anything could have been done to save Dillon's.
