He only acts like that on American television because Americans are hysterical children than need manufactured drama to stay focused.
He treats you like a bunch of emotional cripples for money. Watch the L Word, or the UK Kitchen Nightmares, or anything he does for an adult audience.

Real talk though, most of these restaurant owners are fucktarded assholes and the ones who aren't have already dug themselves into such a deep financial hole that even if they turn things around they won't be able to make enough of a profit to stay open
Does anyone know of any restaurants that Gordon helped that actually managed to stay open?
Restaurants are non scalable. Unless you have zero costs and 400 tops a night your shit is going to fail. You might as well be mining the tar sands, the math will NEVER be in your favour. All but top 1% should even exist.

>90% of the restaurants are owned by a couple or some sort of family unit. This is why they fail.
Of all the people a Poo in Loo Restaurant owner from NYC sued him and won alleging Ramsey lied and edited in fake spoiled meat and cockroaches into the shots of his place.
Noah Robinson
I watched the episode "Trobiano's" the other day in hopes that they would still be open because the chef was a young lad with big dreams and his QT gf, the parents of the gf paid for her bfs restaurant and instead of retiring went into debt about 500 mil, and Ramsay thought the chef was talented and he did an awesome renovation and re opening.
They had to close though for not paying taxes. But the chef and his well wife now seem to still be together. Nice, I guess. Really hope they had a gud life
But nice job bringing your anti-American sentiment to the table for no real reason I guess.
Robert Ortiz
The waitress for not being on muh dick

It's absolutely fucking true. You people need childish melodrama in your tv, just like telenovelas. You're a simple people, especially in the flyover states. You're angry, reactive and love pomp. You really are a white latin culture.

This is also the place with Daiquiris in giant 50 gallon plastic containers.

Watch that entire KN UK, That's how they all are. No yelling, no cursing, just business. That's how they do it in the UK, and Europe. They don't appreciate childish outburst of rage. That gets you fired. But you people love watching it on TV, so he milks you idiots for cash, just like Televangelists, rush limbaugh, that right wing racist guy who had a jewish wife, Alex Jones. You fuckers are played by your media cradle to grave and you aren't quite bright enough to see it.
Joseph Peterson
Yes, $500million dollars And the chef didn't put a cent into it. His gf's parents bought the place for it and put their house on the line too

Pull your head out douchebag there is no difference between USA and UK reality tv. They are both lowest common denominator cheaply produced crap for the simple minded

Uk reality tv - is actually "fly on the wall" reality tv - not this made up, scripted, heavily edited and acted american style "reality" tv, heavy with music, wipes and that annoying sound they play when something actually happens.
Jacob Hernandez
wow, someone who has actually watched both. there it is.
Asher Jones
to be honest I appreciate Gordon screaming at spics and dagos in KN US
Adrian Barnes
its amazing people are so adamant they are the same when the pastas between US and UK shows (especially reality/docs) are posted here all the time
The episode with the two retarded twins. They are still open today, and their yelp reviews seems okay.
Elijah Wright
bullshit I caught a bit of sun, sex and suspicious parents once it was exactly as you describe with all the annoying sounds, edits and added "reality"

Actually went to Cafe Hon over in Baltimore.
It was okay.

This was my whole point, some eurofag said the american sensibilities were so different but the same shit is popular there too
what is this a zen excercise?

How the fuck are they still open?
Nathaniel Morales
Shut up, fucking donkey
Jayden Campbell
wtf OP, good thread, this is a fucked up show
I'm impressed at how eagerly the staff turn on their employer, the man who is putting bread on their table, and start dishing dirt on him to Ramsay
>you're right sir, the food here is disgusting and the owner is an egomaniac and probably a rapist. he spends our tip money on cocaine and beats us with stale baguettes and rotten mackerel before serving them to customers. I'll go throw this family size pizza in the bin now that you've tasted one bite of it. desu I've always wanted to work in television instead of hospitality anyway. my mom says I'm star material...
Oliver Jones
they mostly have very different styles.
essentially they are not "the same shit" - except for the uk/euro stuff that imitates the american ultra trash

Hahaha, holy shit.
They have to be some sort of front for an illegal crime cartel/mob.
Landon Gomez
They're prepared same day and basically moved from one restaurant to another. It's not like he's making some cardinal sin.
Also, reheating on a stovetop/oven is far different than reheating in a microwave. Many fine restaurants prep stuff in the morning that will be reheated throughout the day. There are just too many things that would require far too much time before going to the customer, otherwise.

Cooper Martin
Bottom line, you assholes need to learn how to cook. It's not hard and it impresses people.
Cameron Smith
Most Americans live below the poverty line. They experience daily trauma and misery so their entertainment needs to be extreme for it to take away from their shitty lives. The same reason South American entertainment is melodramatic.
Juan Barnes
do they actually fuck the other guys' wives' though
Jaxson King
I don't get people who say they can't cook. It's just following a recipe.
Leo Cox
It's not though. You need to learn the maillard reaction, so you need to learn your stove, your pan and oils. It's not just straight forward.
Alexander Rogers
there's also knowing what works with what and what doesn't. it seems like common sense but some people just would not have a fucking clue how to complement a dish with the right flavors.
there's nothing like being able to grab a few ingredients and whip up something delicious for a friend without peering at a recipe or sweating over whether you should be using sage or saffron
Angel Wright
Cooking is an art, that's why these assholes can make a career out of it.
Dominic Gray
I wanted to learn how to cook then I realized how every other recipe needs triple A tools and ingredients so I said fuck it and am now living on food deliveries
Adam Perry

Owen Ramirez
>Most Americans live below the poverty line. They experience daily trauma and misery so their entertainment needs to be extreme for it to take away from their shitty lives.
You've got it backwards. The target audience for this shit is struggling but middle class Americans. It's slum tourism from a distance.
Everyone that watches this shit claims to do so because "lol they're so dumb!"
It's like a Two Minutes Hate but to boost self-confidence.
Eli Robinson
All reality fake tv exists to distract from actual reality, nothing revealing but boring either way I always change the channel right awa if I see this tryhard
Gavin Watson
>It's like a Two Minutes Hate but to boost self-confidence. This user gets it. The British watch this kind of show because they want to have a look at the life of other people and experiences that they wouldn't be familiar with, like a nature documentary. The premise of fixing a failing restaurant is just an excuse for them to see how restaurants work and learn a bit about cooking, while meeting some interesting characters.
The US version is an excuse for them to feel superior to the subject so that their life feels less shitty in comparison. But the times are changing and the UK is getting more and more like the US senpaitachi, there's areason they stopped with the UK version and why the US version rates pretty well.
Worked in a 5* hotel for 6 months in the kitchen. You only need to be able to remember recipes on the fly and know your pallets.
All this stuff about knowing your oils and pans and stuff is pure bullshit. As long as you have solid pans and a decent set of knifes you'll do alright.
Ryan Reed
ahahah thats pretty fucking good
William Bennett
You obviously had a line cook teach you on gas in aluminum pans how to cook specific recipes. Being a robot and being a cook are two vastly different things. Repeating shit and knowing shit are so not the same.
Jaxson Thompson
pretty sure for the most part cooking is just repeating a bunch of recipes until you have like a tonne of hours under your belt when you can start experimenting
