Before he was shouting orders to inspiring (and stressed out) chefs on the widely-popular Hell’s Kitchen, British chef Gordan Ramsey was busy trying to clean up the struggling restaurants in Kitchen Nightmares. First premiering on Britain's Channel 4 in 2004, no one could have foreseen how captivating the series would become. The general synopsis of the series is pretty basic; it follows Ramsey as he tries to turnaround struggling restaurants in England, but with the Ramsey flair that has made him a household name on Reality television.
