Did anyone watch "The Restaurant"?

This came on Bravo last night at 9:00. It's about a young chef who wants to open his own restaurant. He gets financial backing, but has to find a space to use. They find one, hire the staff, and have to remodel the place in 5 weeks. It ended where the first guests had arrived.

I totally enjoyed this! It was a neat kind of reality show. It really puts into perspective how much work goes into not only running a restaurant, but getting your dream off of the ground.

Did anyone else watch this? I'll have to check when it is on again, I don't want to miss it!

This was on a bit ago, and I thought the finale had already been shown.

Is this the same one being shown again? Where was the restaurant Danielle?

I missed all of them the first time around, so if they're showing it again, I'd love to catch up. Or if it's a new one, I don't want to miss any more of them

Chelle, I have no idea whether they were reruns or not. This seemed to be a first show. The restaurant was in NY and the chef's name was Rocco.

I have wanted to watch but never did find it! We don't get Bravo.
I think Bravo gets things after the "regular" stations.
The guy in the first one, if they do more, has 2 restaurants already and the show was about the opening of his 3rd. Supposedly he is a big todo in whatever city it was made in.
Having always been interested in cookiing for many people (even dreamed of catering!) I would love to see this one!
