Re: Sam Shankland......
a lifted post from another site posted 3 days ago.
"His restaurant, Sammy's Gilded Pawn in Detroit MI, was recently featured in an episode of Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares USA.
It featured a bout of fisticuffs between Ramsay and Shankland which was won rapidly by Ramsay."

Re: Sam Shankland......
....though a Google search for "Gilded Pawn" restaurant produces no hits, nor does a search for any reference to this Ramsay v Shankland ruck. Are there any actual sources?

Re: Sam Shankland......
Pretty sure Geoff was just trying to be funny. It's got nothing to do with Ramsay or cooking. I've just watched the first episode. Was all right but I wouldn't watch it again. There's a bit about it on Chessbase news.

Hi James,
I posted in good faith, I don't watch cookery programmes, the source poster is usually good,
I think he got mixed up somewhere. Sorry about that. Here is the misleading link.

A picture of Sam from the reality show (I don't watch those either)

Sam is about 3rd or 4th picture further down.

I've discovered a postcard from Capablanca written to Alekhine.

Sam blundered in the elimination challenge thus ending his adventure.
