They're filming Kitchen Nightmares at PJs Steakhouse this week. I've never been there, but it will be interesting to see what it's like post-op.
(my thanks to Kew Gardens Blog for explaining the fim crew trucks I've been driving past).
Update: 5/7/09:
PJ's Steakhouse is now PJ's Grill. While the restaurant is still named after sleepwear, a trendy brushed-steel logo replaces the staid old-fashioned lettering. Will this overhaul work? I think a lot will be riding on the demographic of the post-show clientele. If it can avoid the temptation of the Val-Pack coupons, can grab young Forest Hillians who want more than the same tired Italian food, and can pull people from afar by building a real inter-borough reputation the way Rose Water did, then yes.

ReplyDeleteI went to the kitchen nightmares relaunch, the food was terrible at PJ's grill, was surprised that Gordon didnt do a better job revamping the food
