Chef Joseph Cerniglia, 39, "Kitchen Nightmares"

(AP) – 24 minutes ago
TRENTON, N.J. — A New Jersey chef once featured on Gordon Ramsay's
"Kitchen Nightmares" show has jumped to his death from the George
Washington Bridge.
The New York City medical examiner on Tuesday ruled the death of 39-
year-old Joseph Cerniglia a suicide and confirmed that Cerniglia
jumped from the bridge. The body was found floating in the Hudson
River on Friday.
Cerniglia owned Campania in Fair Lawn, N.J.
In 2007, the debt-ridden restaurant was featured on Ramsay's show. On
the show, he described "overwhelming" personal debt and estimated he
owed purveyors about $80,000.
Cerniglia is the former executive chef for the New York-based
Gallagher's Steakhouse chain.
He is the second former contestant on a Ramsay television show to
commit suicide. The other was a former competitor on his "Hell's
Kitchen" chef competition.

Maybe he just hated paying tolls.

That was Rachel Brown, who shot herself in 2007. She was a contestant
during the show's second season the year before. Her body was found in
her bed, four days after her 41st birthday. Brown had a relationship
with contestant (and eventual winner) Heather West, whom she met on the
show. From what I can gather, Brown was already with someone else, and
West was the "other woman." West said last year that she still doesn't
know why Brown killed herself.

If you check tripadvisor.com reviews, you'll see that Campania
had some pretty low ratings.

I kinda wonder if they'd closed. They've had reviews posted regularly
for the past few years, and there's nothing in the past month.

A real "loved it, hated it" kinda place.
