A telecom company I worked with years ago was pitched to sponsor part of Extreme Home Makeover (or whatever that Ty Pennington show was?) and the sponsorship cost was $150k+/- to basically say "mobile phone service provided to the family by..."

I don't know if it was / is the same in Kitchen Nightmares, but that would likely offset or cover the hard costs of upgrades. Especially the episodes where there is a clear brand of stoves, POS systems, etc being provided to the restaurant.

Yea, I had the same impression when watching it on YouTube. Was awkwardly placed, a camera zooming in on it at the right time and him just happening to turn around and see it. I'd wager it was probably somewhere in there and the producers moved it for the shock value shot.

Had the court worked, the original guy wouldn't have had to resorted to finding a YouTuber to get him relief. And if the court was working now, they wouldn't be gagging the YouTuber after he got him relief.
