FOX announced that it had ordered "Kitchen Nightmares," another American adaptation of the U.K.'s Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares reality series. 

"Nightmares" will feature Ramsay travelling across America and helping restaurants in crisis, and will premiere on Thursday, September 13 at 9PM ET/PTand be part of Fox's Fall 2007 primetime schedule.

"[Kitchen Nightmares is] the best reality show we've ever done," Fox reality programming head Mike Darnell told reporters during a Television Critics Association (TCA) summer press tour session on Sunday, according to TV Week.
