In response to Gordon Ramsay’s Party Nightmares:
I remember reading that after Gordon Ramsay leaves, the restaurants bounce back because of the publicity, but many still end up closing. Found this article that says out of the 32 restaurants featured in three seasons, 19 have closed. As you said, there are plenty of cosmetic changes one can make when it comes to restaurants and the Republican party. Gimmicks alone can’t sustain them. I just hope the Republican party doesn’t “close” because I have a tattoo of the Republican elephant. Seriously. (Sorry, Mom and Dad.)
