Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares show's "economic realism" in the tired food television genre. She wrote, "There is something refreshing about a show that doesn't promise a ticket to ride (a surgical makeover, a million dollars, Richard Branson's job) but instead offers restaurant owners the hope—if they seriously reform their establishments—that they might, just might, break even for the next few months." "Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares" was named Best Feature at the 2005 and 2008 BAFTA awards. It also earned the 2006 International Emmy for best non-scripted entertainment. On 3 March 2009, Acorn Media released season 1 of "Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares" on DVD in the US.
