History Trivia / KitchenNightmares

* CompletelyDifferentTitle: In Czech republic the show is broadcasted as ''Ano, šéfe!'' (''Yes Chef! '') to draw the connection with [[TransatlanticEquivalent Czech show of a same format]]

* BeamMeUpScotty: "HELLO! MY NAME'S NINO!" isn't actually said by Nino, but his brother Michael. (At least during filming, as Michael claims Nino was prone to doing that to customers directly)

!!Trivia pertaining to the show in general

!!Trivia pertaining to the episodes featuring Amy's Baking Company
* DeletedScene: In the "Revisited" episode, we are shown several scenes not included in the original episode that were cut for time.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Even Ramsay feels this way about the plans he was prepared to implement.

* Aluminum Christmas Trees: In the Park's Edge episode, when Gordon complains that the Caesar salad is spicy, the chef insists "Caesar salad was invented in Mexico, it's supposed to be spicy!" While Caesar salad dressing being spicy is up for debate, he's correct that Caesar salad was originally invented in a restaurant in Tijuana (albeit by an Italian immigrant).

** Moore Place was meant to be the restaurant featured in the UK pilot episode, as of the four restaurants the production team had identified to feature in the first season, it was the one nearest to London. However, the restaurant had to be shut for essential electrical work during the scheduled filming dates. The pilot was therefore switched to being made at Bonaparte's, which out of the other three was the closest to a major city (namely Leeds).

* NamesTheSame:
** In the Burger Kitchen, the head chef was named John David Blaine. Gordon was quick to point out his name being similar to that of the illusionist David Blane.
** In the U.K. series, the married owners of the Sandgate Hotel were named Peter and Lois, which just happen to be the names of the married animated leads of the T.V. show Family Guy.
** The Finn [=McCool's=] seen in season 1 is unrelated to various other Irish pubs of the same name in the US.

** The Oceana episode was removed from several streaming platforms due to the restaurant suing the production company for defamation, but can still be found on Phillo and Fubo.Tv

* FamousAncestor: Or, rather, infamous. On the "Burger Kitchen" episode, it's mentioned repeatedly that the money to start the restaurant was inherited from owner Alan's father, about whom Alan also wrote a scathing book. His father was [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abe_Saffron Abe Saffron]], a notorious Australian 'crime boss' who made his money through ownership of strip clubs and was once accused of a high-profile murder.

** Spike TV's ''Series/BarRescue'', where an expert bar manager comes to the aid of failing bars and does not hesitate to chew the owners or employees out. The real differences between that show and ''Kitchen Nightmares'' is that the host goes to bars rather than restaurants, the show emphasizes more of the science of what goes on to help improve the bar and its employees, and that [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking he's American, not British]].
** Spike was the most prolific network when it came to these types of "rescue" shows.

** In the Burger Kitchen, the head chef was named David Blaine. Gordon was quick to point this out. However, if you'll notice, the chef's jacket says "John David Blaine".
