A spinoff of Spike's Bar Rescue, Hungry Investors is another "business rescue" reality TV show, hosted by Jon Taffer along with chefs Tiffany Derry, and John Besh. Yes folks, this is indeed yet another copy of Kitchen Nightmares with two twists to the concept.First off, the show attempts to help out two similar restaurants that are in trouble per episode. Additionally, the two restaurants, both within the same general area of each other, are also both asking for the hosts to invests in their restaurants for further key upgrades, and only one of them can receive an investment with a better pitch and offer, blending the Kitchen Nightmares idea, with Dragons' Den or Shark Tank. The winning restaurant gets the investment, while the losing one gets a handshake and a wish of good luck in the future.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

Awesome, but Impractical: A few examples. As pointed out in several cases, some of the food is really good and delicious, but their food costs are often very high, and eat into the profit margin, such as Outlaw Burger's signature burger. The investors often try to come up with a cheaper or alternative that has a much higher profit margin.

Bad Boss

Bad Boss: For the most part, nothing too extreme yet. You have your stubborn bosses, bosses who can't manage and lack communication skills, though nothing on the level seen in Bar Rescue. The owner of Elements is currently the worst owner seen on the show. How bad was he? He caused Taffer to walk out from even investing in him before the initial meeting was even over. The fact that he also threatened to call the cops on the entire production team at one point certainly puts didn't help his case.

Berserk Button: Taffer maintains the exact same ones he has from Bar Rescue. Expect a shouting match once per episode. Additionally, unlike on Bar Rescue, where the chefs are experts brought in just to improve a location, John Besh and Tiffany Derry are also two of the three investors, meaning during the final decision meeting between the three investors, shouting matches can and do occur over differing views on which location is the better choice.
