Gordon Ramsey visits the Third Coast as Le Bistro endures the heat on Kitchen Nightmares.
From the Sun Sentinel - McClatchy-Tribune:
Elin and Andy Trousdale barely remember filling out the application to appear on a restaurant-makeover TV show.
That was before Fox's "Kitchen Nightmares" and its hot-tempered host Chef Gordon Ramsay became a staple in the genre known as makeover reality TV.
Fast forward to Thursday night, when the Trousdales and their Lighthouse Point restaurant, Le Bistro, finally got their day in the spotlight.
Almost two years after applying, "Kitchen Nightmares" came to South Florida last summer, when Ramsay visited not only Le Bistro, but also Anna Vincenzo's Ristorante Italiano in Boca Raton and Fleming: A Taste of Denmark in Miami. The network isn't yet sure when the other episodes will air.
While the Trousdales say they're happy they participated, they almost didn't go through with it. Ramsay's ruthless criticisms can be intimidating.
"Then we thought about it," says Elin. " With the downturn in the economy we knew we couldn't not afford to get any kind of publicity."
In the third enstallment of TLC's new reality series about comepetition BBQ, the crew ventures to Decater, Alabama home of Big Bob Gibson's and the Riverfest BBQ contest. The constants are treated to a private dinner cooked by Big Bob Gibson's executive chef Chris Lilly, a world champion himself. Here's what the Alabama Barbecue Association has to say about Riverfest:
Riverfest features over 70 professional and civilian BBQ cooking teams from all over the United States competing for prize money and trophies totaling $20,000.00. The teams will be competing in such categories as beef brisket, pork ribs (loin/spare), chicken, pork (shoulder/butt), and best sauce. Along with the cooking competition, there will be food vendors, live music, children’s activities, and the Ducky Derby.
The show details just how the smallest roadblock can derail even the most seasond pit master. It also introduces the viewer to some genuine characters, especially Myron Mixon of Jack's Old South BBQ team. As Myron is quick to say, he's the best on the circuit. He's also the most cesured person on television. The man earns more bleeps than Richard Pryor and Gordon Ramsay combined. But don't take my word for it:
BBQ Pitmasters airs Thursdays at 10 PM ET/9 CT on TLC. Check your local listings.
