You should have her tape Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares, where he
goes into failing restaurants and tries to turn them around within a
week. Like the cooks in your show, the ignorance of some of the
people calling themselves chefs is appalling. One young "head chef"
admitted he never ever made an omlet!!

There's even a website that tracks the restos Gordon advises and sadly
most fail. This, contrary to what many might believe, is not Gordon's
fault. Most are run and staffed by morons and were on the brink of
failure in the first place and they usually backslide into their
original bad habits after Gordon leaves and continue on to their
inevitable doom. The ones that do good typically do so by firing the
chef!
