* RuleOfDrama: [[https://web.archive.org/web/20180317050517/http://leestranahan.com/kitchen-nightmares-finn-mccools-fact-or-fiction-update/ According to this article regarding season 1's "Finn McCool's",]] the Fox editors chose to make up drama by claiming that Chef Brian left the kitchen and went home (when in fact he'd merely been asked to work the bar, and the vehicle shown leaving belonged to a plumber) as well as using footage of a Fox staff member dropping a piece of chicken on the floor and then into the fryer to claim that Brian had done this. Then there was the relaunch, in which Fox staff went behind everyone's backs and booked the restaurant for TRIPLE capacity, and the food critic, which was actually a college student [[note]]This is similar to how the ''[[PaedoHunt Hansen vs. Predator]]'' segments on ''Crime Watch Daily'' used drama students as opposed to professional actors like ''[[Series/{{Dateline}} To Catch a Predator]]''[[/note]] sent to say things that Fox had told her to say (this had been her first and only restaurant review). It does make one wonder how much of the show overall really is fabricated, at least the American version. That being said, one commentator rightly pointed out that the Sabrina Mashburn that commented on the article may not be the real one. Furthermore, the article is from Lee Stranahan, who currently works for the government-controlled Sputnik News.

* DownerEnding: According to Website/YouTube comments, this was the fate of the restaurant. Ramsay's relaunch was a complete success and the restaurant remained open for almost 5 years, until the owner of the location decided to double the rent out of nowhere. They decided to close down instead.
