on the recommendations of this thread I am watching the ABC episode

ten minutes in and I genuinely think it has to be staged

it overflowed into real world poo poo, so if it was staged everyone was very dedicated

I always enjoy 'but we can't change the regulars like it!'

Ahh yes those regulars that aren't keeping you out of bankruptcy. Better cater to them instead of trying to bring fresh people in.

One of my favourite moments was I believe in the first season where they had three owners and it was clear they were just investors that were running it (into the ground) as a hobby. When Gordon ripped into them about selling Canadian lobsters as Maine Lobsters one of them went into ultra :smug: mode and told him they're the same species and they can breed and everything. He even told it to the camera again about how wrong Gordon was.

I just wish someone had asked him what he thinks about dog breeds and if you can sell a toy poodle as an Irish Wolfhound. Or just punched that guy in the face over and over. Either would have made me happy.

Well, it's more or less the same population too, but it's still not cool to misrepresent your product even if the difference comes down to marketing.

Huh well I know poo poo about lobsters so if you say so. I just remember in the show he spotted it right away so if there is no visible difference he must have been told by his staff before going in.

The larva float out in the bay so any difference is environmental in later life stages. It may result in differences, but to go back to the dog analogy it wouldn't be like two different breeds it would be like two dogs from the same litter raised in different homes.
