Since Drmargi hasn't responded on her page... I'm really annoyed with the revert. "Rewrite gives undue attention to allegations with no substantiation. It's easy to whine in the media after the fact, and this level of detail is not needed?" What crap! I'll say it again: I wrote about the owners' criticisms of their makeovers. Your version reads like a PR piece. You can't tell me that's legitimate Wikipedia style! I'm not getting into a revert war; I want you to change it back. If you want to go to moderation, fine. Have at it. GeorgeC ( talk) 00:20, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
For the benefit of random bystanders, George's preferred version appears to be this one. The main substantive questions appear to be how much of the exact claims made by the crab place owner to include, and whether to mention the additional complaints made by the owner of the Dodge City restaurant.

While this probably isn't appropriate as a source for the main page, it was too fascinating to leave out. It's a lengthy blog post by the daughter of one of the people who came to the opening-night dinner at the Snooty Fox when the episode aired. It has many pictures. JesseW, the juggling janitor 07:33, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
I've found a number of sources quoting and discussing the reactions of various episode's subjects to their make-over (listed below). The three I'd found are all negative, but I'm sure with more digging positive reactions could also be found (I saw some on Facebook, but that's pretty much un-citable). Re-reading WP:EL, and thinking about what would be an appropriate way to include this material, I came up with the idea of a section called something like "Subject's reactions", which would collect, and neutrally summarize, this type of material. Reading over the Talk:Kitchen Nightmares archives (particularly Archive 2), I can very clearly see how exhausting and frustrating this discussion can get. I suppose I'll just leave the links here, then. Sigh. JesseW, the juggling janitor 08:33, 1 December 2011 (UTC) The links I found:

I would like to see a column with the current status of each restaurant, with a date stated for reference. I added one some time ago, and it was taken down almost immediately.
I feel this would be good information, especially since the official site ignores this (closures reflect badly on their show?). It gives the viewer additional information on the ultimate success of each intervention.
Can we discuss the pros and cons of this?

A column that lists the designer assigned to that restaurant.

Season Six has episode titles that are not the name of the restaurant. Perhaps the formatting should change to reflect that? MMetro ( talk) 22:00, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

The series had lasted for 13 seasons now. I believe that the episode list should be moved to a new page. Yoshiman6464 ( talk) 03:21, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
