To anyone used to fact checking, they ring alarm bells steadily after the first three or so. Almost all use the same few descriptive words, they almost uniformly capitalize dish names as if pulling them straight off the menu, they are almost all over the top positive, etc etc etc. The few reviews that actually come across as the usual mix of review "types" are almost all low rating reviews.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4443644039384309779.post-32625808593392647182018-07-22T10:38:46.104+01:002018-07-22T10:38:46.104+01:00All the reviews before and after the show are larg...All the reviews before and after the show are largely positive.The majority are positive and have been posted over a number of years. That makes it unlikely that they were brought reviews (as one commenter claimed.)<br /><br />I didn't think that the food or decor looked half-bad. Normally enjoy Ramsay but he was nit-picking here. I read a Telegram interview where a staff member claimed that they did buy their costume but in reality, it came to less than $10. The owners themselves refer to the show as "creative reality" rather than accurate. <br /><br />Can't help but think that the owners agreed to appear on the show in exchange for the renovations. That's how these things work - you appear on the show misrepresented as a caricature and in exchange, they renovate your hotel. I enjoy Ramsay's shows immensely but I don't believe that they accurately portray the bulk of the hotels or their owners. It's entertainment.<br /><br />I noticed that the episode didn't include the usual shots of the diners praising the new menu. Maybe because they didn't enjoy it? That could be part of the reason that the inn returned to the original menu.

The hotel and the menu have nothing to do with Austria - Before and after Gordons's makeover!

Gordon did nothing but expose just how ungrateful and cruel that woman is. Not only did she complain about everything, but the way she spoke down to her husband made me sick. It's clear why he isn't happy and with her barking down his back and screaming and faking her tears I would be drained too. She needs serious help. You need to also learn how to treat your staff with more respect. If I had been working for them at any point I certainly would have unloaded already and reported them. I'm hoping they get shut down due to their rude nature and cruel treatment towards staff. I'm almost certain the person who changed everything back was Lisa. Get a grip. You wasted that amazing mans time and essentially spit in his face after he bit his tongue to try and salvage your pathetic excuse for a hotel.

A really terrible painting of the emperor Franz-Josef, then some random Prussian family in a corner. <br /><br />The flags on the entrance are wrong. Red-white-red is fine, but the one with the eagle is the state flag, flown by the Austrian government. If I see that flag on a house, I assume that an Austrian politician is an official state guest.<br /><br />The "uniforms" are another mishmash of pseudo-Germanic clothing. None of it is authentic. None of it is even remotely Viennese.<br /><br />When I saw the menu on the show I went "WTF!" a lot. Bismarck Herring (simple pickled herring, which has nothing to do with Austria) and Königsberger Klopse (really just normal meatballs) is bad enough, but when I saw that this guy has Wienerschnitzel with red cabbage and Spätzle, I almost lost it.<br /><br />A "crumb carpet" ("Bröselteppich", a slang word for Wienerschnitzel in Austria) with red cabbage and Spätzle?!<br /><br />Nobody does that!<br /><br />Traditionally the Wienerschnitzel is served with potato salad, but fries are very common these days, too.<br /><br />This whole place strikes me as if someone saw too much Sound of Music and those terrible Sissy movies from the 50s. It's cliche, it's absolutely not authentic. Austrian people would be offended by this.<br /><br />The owner's claim that he's half Austrian means absolutely nothing. Obviously he didn't grow up in Austrian culture, otherwise he'd know that Wienerschnitzel with red cabbage and Spätzle is basically heresy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4443644039384309779.post-51187897039410789812016-07-18T02:00:26.386+01:002016-07-18T02:00:26.386+01:00This show was so crazy I checked Yelp and traveloc...This show was so crazy I checked Yelp and travelocity myself for clues. Reviews are mixed but over all positive. Their good nights seem to be good but their bad nights, oh boy. I think these people are con artists who tried to scam the show into giving them a free makeover of their entire inn. Their servers are pretty but they have tits for brains if they accept a job that requires you to buy a 300 dollar dress for the privilege of waiting tables and begging, mostly in vain, for your paycheck. If you can afford a fancy dress then you don't need a job as a waitress. I would quit on the spot if my boss told me the day I was hired I would need a 300 dollar uniform out of my own pocket and I would refuse to allow my daughter to work there. Wanna wear a uniform? Go get a job at the food court in the mall. This couple is a pair of narcissists and they're lucky to have gotten anything. Probably the only reason Ramsey didn't walk off the set is that he was locked into working with this couple. He can be a generous guy when he feels someone deserves it.
