So we were just called up by the production company for Fox TV's Kitchen Nightmares show with Chef Gordon Ramsey. It's a fun reality show where Chef Gordon Ramsay goes in and does a makeover of a different restaurant each episode putting the restaurant crew through the wringer to make each restaurant more successful than before. The show was filming their next season's premiere episode right here in Brooklyn at Mojito Cuban Cuisine.
Conjunto Guantanamo was chosen from the handful of bands that play at Mojito for the filming of the episode's finale. For the end of the episode, they threw a surprise Good Luck party for the restaurant's crew at The Brooklyn Flea Market here in DUMBO last Sunday, May 3rd.
We had fun meeting Chef Ramsey and being filmed for the show. We brought along Afro-Cuban folkloric dancer Rita Macia to show off some moves with our own Pedro Domech. Chef Ramsey told me he loved the band and he really seemed to enjoy our sound. Check out the nice shot above of us (courtesy of photographer David Lukens) with Chef Ramsey and the crew at Mojito.
So look out for the season premiere of Kitchen Nightmares on Fox coming this Fall. Stay tuned for more info here soon.
