Kitchen Nightmares is now casting in Seattle. The reality show, in which Chef Gordon Ramsay is invited by the owners to spend a week with a failing restaurant in an attempt to revive the business, is seeking Seattle-area kitchens that think they have what it takes.

Restaurants must have been open at least one year, offer dinner service, not be a franchise or chain, and have at least 35 seats.

And, the business must be failing. Episodes of Kitchen Nightmares show restaurants that have horrible food, dirty kitchens, unhappy patrons and slow business. There is usually some kind of personal conflict with owners and/or employees, too.

So, if you are a restaurant owner who’s got some drama and wants Chef Ramsay to come and whip your ass- and your restaurant- into shape, contact the casting company at 310.313.9100 or www.theconlincompany.com.
