I've recently been watching Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares and I love it. Despite the serious issues that are brought up, like the cleanliness of the kitchens, the quality of food and service, I find it a bit funny. Ramsay's reactions are hilarious (when he says, wow oh wow or wow wow wow). I admire his passion for food and how he sometimes literally changes these people's lives by putting them on the right track.
Watching this show really made me think about the restaurants I go to. There is a restaurant near work called Azzuro. When I first started working around 2 years ago, me and my colleagues went there a lot. The food was great (though the service not so much). I have been there twice recently and I vow to never go again. First time I had a four seasons pizza which tasted okay but I felt very queasy and uncomfortable after. I then gave it a second chance and tried the risotto. Unfortunately I felt exactly the same way. They must have changed the chef/the ingredients/the process of cooking because something is definitely not the same. It's a shame as I won't go there again even though it is the closest restaurant to work!
I guess the message is, watch out where and what you eat:D
