NEW ORLEANS -- In 2011, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, as famous for screaming as his cooking, came to New Orleans and filmed an episode of "Kitchen Nightmares" at Oceana Grill in the French Quarter. In the series, which aired on Fox, Ramsey tried to set right flailing restaurants. Now, Oceana Grill has sued Ramsey and the show's producers, reports the New Orleans Advocate, because footage from the episode was reposted on Facebook.

The scene posted on Facebook include one of Ramsay reviewing Oceana Grill's kitchen and vomiting after smelling some shrimp.

In the lawsuit, which was filed under seal in New Orleans Civil District Court, Oceana Grill's owner claims the producers exaggerated and even fabricated scenes, reports the Advocate.

Oceana Grill's owner, a corporation named Cajun Conti, first sued the producers of "Kitchen Nightmares" in 2011 to stop the episode from airing.

1. They didn't know that Reality Shows are scripted?

Come on! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out after watching 3 minutes of any version of this bizarre phenomenon.

2. Not a fan

My partner watches that program religiously. I can cuss with the best of them, but Ramsey just screams and rants and cusses for cheap drama value. I can aleays tell when he is watching that show, because i can hear BEEP BEEP BEEP from the next room.

3. I love Ramsey. Those two were fated for failure, Ramsey did nothing wrong.
