M6 show seeks struggling restaurants

The M6 show Cauchemar en Cuisine has launched a new call for applications in the Rhône department, seeking restaurants facing challenges such as financial difficulties or declining customer traffic. This initiative is part of the show's sixteenth season, where Chef Philippe Etchebest visits establishments to help them improve.

Lyon and surrounding areas targeted

The call for applications specifically targets Lyon and its surrounding areas, as confirmed by Le Progrès after verification. The production is looking for restaurants in the Rhône department that are struggling with various issues, including internal team tensions or management conflicts.

Anyone can report a struggling restaurant

Restaurateurs are not the only ones who can apply. Their associates, friends, and even customers can also report an establishment in need of help. This broadens the pool of potential candidates and allows for more diverse input in selecting which restaurants will be featured on the show.

How to apply for the show

To propose a restaurant, individuals can email castingcauchemar@m6.fr or contact the production directly at 06.70.17.35.14. The M6 website also provides a candidacy file to assist those interested in submitting their application for consideration.

Search extends beyond the Rhône

The production is not limited to the Rhône department. It is also exploring areas around Avignon, Chambéry, and Antibes. This broader search aims to ensure the show has enough material to complete its new season and maintain its format of visiting struggling restaurants.
