Restaurant Stakeout

This show just irritates the F out of me. Among many things the most is that not once has anybody been fired from their position. I saw things that, even if faked for the show, they should of at least fake fired them.Restaurant Impossible is a great show. Robert knows what he's doing. Hotel Hell, and Kitchen Nightmares both great shows. Regardless of anything it all comes down to the "host." And Willie is just annoying. I'm also a little sick of so many shows and/or restaurants being based in New Jersey or back east. Not all but too many. I'm tired of these Jersey Shore(Hate JS) wannabees with crappy attitudes. New Jersey is over. Sopranos and Springsteen..that's it!

This silly excuse for a reality show essentially hires actors to pose as busboys, managers, chefs and waiters and tells them to screw up as much as humanly possible.which they then do.This occurs as Willy Degal, owner of Uncle jacks steakhouse( which based on the very average yelp reviews rating, the only one who thinks his restaurants are great is him)observes and basically tells the restaurant owner that people that drop dead from food poisoning are usually very bad tippers, and that he needs to get his act together by trying to hire waiters that don't throw the food, and telling chefs that serving peanuts to people with a life threatening peanut allergy is bad for business, but fear not. At the end of the show Willie tells them they need to improve then shows up 6 weeks later unannounced( except for the 8 cameras to cover every angle) in shorts basically looking like "An army mule with bosoms" and saves the day. It seems his 3 minute pep talk was enough to put there work ethics into overdrive and now there totally different employees. Oh if only life were that easy. Anyway, its a badly staged fake show that gave up with even trying to look real last season.and remember folks, as Willie says at least 123 times every episode" The customer is king"

After watching a few episodes I had noted some things in the episodes first off I had thought in order to be on a TV show everyone who took part per episode has to sign some form of paperwork...even those whom are eating at the restaurant. Second if an owner is that ridiculously ignorant why do they even run a business they call an obese PI whomever this man is to spy on their employees how lame and suspicious for any show plot... and my last complaint if this is a real show why is the sound so perfect? anyone who worked with cameras for security know its not always so clear what is said and sometimes a lip reader is needed in such cases. I would of hoped Food Network would of created something far better than this excuse for entertainment for now its just another show that needs to be ditched and they need to go back to plan A for a new idea.... so to me its all staged and its just lame to see more of these fake shows on the television.

The show has potential to be good, but it falls flat for pretending to be something it's not. If it was a genuine show about restaurants' customers and staff then it would be worth watching for a glimpse "behind the scenes," but the producers obviously felt that would be too boring for the average viewer and have taken it upon themselves to stage most (if not all) of the drama. After watching the "When the Cat's Away" episode I thought something seemed off, and a quick Google search confirmed my suspicions that it's just staged. Needless to say I won't be watching again, and won't be recommending it to any of my friends.

Seriously, I'm watching this, and I'm supposed to believe this is real?! I mean, it's funny, hilarious even, but real...there is no way any of this is real. This is the biggest insult since Restaurant Mysteries, but at least that was a bit more entertaining...there is no way any part of any episode of this is true. This is reno 911 the restaurant edition...host is sitting behind an executive's polished wood desk with two pen holders like a banker...c'mon, try a little harder next time.
