Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares is a Channel 4 television programme hosted by British celebrity chef, Gordon Ramsay. In each episode, Ramsay visits a failing restaurant and acts as a troubleshooter to help improve the establishment in just one week. Ramsay revisits the restaurant a few months later to see how business has fared in his absence.

Episodes from series one and two have been re-edited with additional new material as Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares Revisited; they featured Ramsay checking up on restaurants a year or more after he attended to them.

The series earned a BAFTA award for Best Feature at the British Academy Television Awards 2005 and the 2006 International Emmy for best non-scripted entertainment.

Series four began airing weekly on November 14, 2006.

An American version of this show, titled Kitchen Nightmares, will premiere in the fall of 2007 on FOX. It will follow the same format as this show.

Libel

In June 2006, Ramsay won a High Court case against the London Evening Standard, which had alleged, after reports from previous owner Sue Ray, that scenes and the general condition of Bonapartes had been faked. Ramsay was awarded £75,000 plus costs. Ramsay said at the time: "I won't let people write anything they want to about me. We have never done anything in a cynical, fake way."
