does not seem surprising given their criteria for being on the show was something that was going to 100% close and then of course there is the track record in general on restaurants.

I can't remember what sketch show it was, but one of them made that joke.

The end of the episode is always a packed restaurant, but that's just because Gordan Ramsey is cooking the food, and if the restaurant could have made food like that in the beginning, they wouldn't be on the show in the first place.

Maybe it was Mitchell and Webb?

It was Mitchell and Webb! 😁 "Good, simple food, cooked simply! It's easy" "It's easy because you did it, I'm clearly not very good at this if I'm on your show, and you've done things on your plate that might be simple to you, but may as well be magic to me! The only reason we have people in there now is because you're here!"

I have not watched one in awhile but I don't recall ramsey cooking in the end he just "convinced" (quotes because maybe behind the scenese insisted) them to have a new look and menu that the show paid for but the staff was the same outside of soemtimes having someone fired.
