Hot Potato Cafe on Kitchen Nightmares

Philadelphia's own Hot Potato Cafe was on Kitchen Nightmares tonight. In May, Gordon came to town to do what eh could to save it. We saw Gordon Ramsey come into a place with three owners who didn't know what they were doing, a chef who wasn't a chef, and a ton of debt. And to top it all off, Gordon Ramsey wound up giving up after the first day. why? No comment from anyone about why they were in the shit.

But then... a miracle of self.

Daniel, the chef, quickly learns she has more culinary art skills than she realized as Gordon comes back and asks everyone to make a dish. Claire, one of the owners, broke down in tears to get Gorgon to stay, and the payoff was amazing. The episode was, in and of itself, inspiring and a triumph of the human spirit.

I look forward to heading down there soon and checking them out myself!
