I'm a huge fan of the FOX show "Kitchen Nightmares". In the show world renowned chef, Gordon Ramsay, travels the country and tries to 'fix' restaurants that are struggling. 99% of the time, the kitchen is disgusting. Freezers haven't been cleaned, uncooked meat left out over night, leftovers being reused, ruined ingredients left in the freezer/pantry.

This got us thinking about the local restaurants that we all eat at every single day.
