The Fish & Anchor restaurant and bar near Lampeter in West Wales, featured in Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares (Series 5, Episode 6, aired 2007), was owned and operated by Mike and Caron Ciminera. The restaurant was known for their combative, "at war" relationship and a massive, unmanageable menu.
Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares ruined the life of chef Tim Gray, a court heard. Gray was working at Bonapartes restaurant in Silsden when it was savaged on Gordon Ramsay's hit television series three years ago. He claimed the adverse publicity had indirectly led to him drink-driving.

Why did Bobby Flay's Michelin star get taken away?
Bobby Flay lost his single Michelin Star for Mesa Grill in Las Vegas in 2009 because the restaurant didn't retain it after winning it in 2008, and Michelin stopped publishing the Las Vegas guide after 2009, making it impossible to regain. While the specific reasons for losing stars often relate to inconsistency or ingredient quality, for Flay, it coincided with Michelin ceasing their Vegas guide, though he'd already missed the window to keep it.
