Let me first say, I love "Kitchen Nightmares"

Secondly to address the issue of 'unwanted' items in your food...I am allergic to uncooked tomatoes. I get hives and they make me vomit. So I always make sure to tell the waiter "no tomatoes" whenever I order anything with even the remotest chance of having any in the dish. When my meal arrives know what I do? Instead of getting half way through and starting to break out and get nauseous, I CHECK before I even begin eating. It's my allergy and my responsibility to make sure I don't eat what I cannot. From the description of the person above who actually watched the show in question it was not Gordon Ramsey's fault the kid didn't ask if it contained meat, though I will admit he can be a real ass and probably shouldn't have found it so funny.
