Gordon Ramsay Raises Hell in LaGrange

A poster on LTH Forum wrote a summary of his recent experience as a diner at LaGrange's Cafe 36 in the presence of cameras from celeb chef Gordon Ramsay's television show "Kitchen Nightmares," which will be giving the restaurant a revamping in an upcoming episode. Cafe 36's former chef Reinhard Barthel departed last year after disputing with the owner (who was also his father) and ended up at Palermo's in Orland Park, which may be why Britain's Angriest Chef is on the case of improving the restaurant, which has received decent reviews in the past.

He has quite a following of loyal customers. After a small stint at a local Italian place in Orland Park, Chef Reinhard has been rocking the menu at a place called Limestone City Grill and Lounge in Palos Heights, IL.
