The episode of Kitchen Nightmares was filmed in 2011.
In 2011, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, as famous for screaming as his cooking, came to New Orleans and filmed an episode of » Kitchen Nightmares » at Oceana Grill in the French Quarter. In the series, which aired on Fox, Ramsey tried to set right flailing restaurants. Now, Oceana Grill has sued Ramsey and the show’s producers, reports the New Orleans Advocate, because footage from the episode was reposted on Facebook.
The scene posted on Facebook include one of Ramsay reviewing Oceana Grill’s kitchen and vomiting after smelling some shrimp.
In the lawsuit, which was filed under seal in New Orleans Civil District Court, Oceana Grill’s owner claims the producers exaggerated and even fabricated scenes, reports the Advocate.
Oceana Grill’s owner, a corporation named Cajun Conti, first sued the producers of «Kitchen Nightmares» in 2011 to stop the episode from airing.
In its current lawsuit, Oceana Grill says that the 2011 suit was resolved with a settlement, which limited how scenes from the episode could be used in the future, reports the Advocate. The Facebook posting, the latest suit argues, violates that agreement.
