Kitchen Nightmares

One of my favorite shows is Ramseys Kitchen Nightmares. In fact, I've watched it on the BBC long before it made its ways to the states.

While we don't eat out much, when we do it makes me look at restaurants differently. Tonight was an example.

We decided to try a restaurant that had been around for awhile but just opened a location by our house, Bayleys.

One of Gordon Ramseys pet peeves is a large menu with a variety of different food styles. They definitely had a variety but outside of breakfast nothing seemed too unique.

But, the biggest problem they had tonight was staffing. They had 2 people, yes count them, 2 people working. They had one guy who was host, waiter and bus boy and then another that was the cook. So, things were a little slow but I can't fault the people working because they were doing their best. The "host, waiter bus boy" was working is tail off and always had a smile on his face.

But, when the food came out I noticed that the boys' "grilled" cheese didn't even have the cheese melted. And then Shelley took a bite out of one and bit into something hard.

This restaurant's other location has been around for a long time and is very popular so they might have been just having a bad day. But, in our area, it is so competitive a restaurant doesn't get many chances and this one won't be getting a second chance with us.
