Burnett compares the tension between the wait staff and the kitchen drudges to the divide between the first-class swells and the coal shovelers in Titanic, and co--executive producer Ben Silverman, who conceived the show, argues that "restaurants are the new theater." The Restaurant is also the new advertising: it will have product placements worked in even more snugly than Survivor does.

Costello chose to work in steel mills rather than the coal mines where his father toiled because he believed steel jobs were more secure. Now he is scrapping plans to build a long-planned retirement house and says he will not be replacing his 13-year-old pickup truck anytime soon. "You have to make choices," he says, "between a house...
