Finally he spends the least amount of time on providing an awesome new menu, teaching new cooking techniques, etc. Then, a miracle happens and everyone appears happy and crying at the end with the new redesigned restaurant. <br /><br />The show is almost all about the drama now with very little food. He's yelling, screaming, playing games, breaking stuff. There's very little real teaching/coaching, constructive criticism, developing new business strategy or ideas. These are the things that really save businesses.parrotcamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-35343223709606898992014-11-03T23:05:54.908-05:002014-11-03T23:05:54.908-05:00I don't enjoy the family issues nearly as much...I don't enjoy the family issues nearly as much as I did seeing more about the restaurant's actual makeover and seeing Robert teach new recipes.
