These are just little mom and pop joints. Imagine running a hotel where you have to serve 300 perfect dinners within a half hour span.
IMHO Ramsey is an world class a$$. Yes, he’s rich, but he broke so many people getting there.
Well, yay!
Loved Kitchen Nightmares...it was better than that 24 Hour one he did.
I’ve never watched any of his shows, but I literally cannot stand the whole “humiliating boss / angry chef” thing. I change the channel even during commercials that feature Gordon Ramsey.
I have really enjoyed getting to know Marco Pierre White, the man who trained Gordon Ramsay and made Gordon cry once.
Participants are a real glutton for punishment.
“I have really enjoyed getting to know Marco Pierre White, the man who trained Gordon Ramsay and made Gordon cry once.”
I read Marco White’s book.
Anyone in the military understands why he did what he does. He’s breaking the egos, snapping them out of their perpetual victimhood and pity parties.
Personally he’s got the street cred, knows what he’s doing and coddling is just a waste of time
People who allowed themselves to be broken
He’s been there done that many times on his shows.
I miss the old Galloping Gourmet, Graham Kerr. He drank wine, cooked, and cracked corny jokes. A complete opposite to the current lineup of garbage reality shows. I wanna relax and enjoy, not reach for the Lisinopril BP bottle...
We watched a few seasons of this during covid. It started out OK. Contestants truly seemed interested in cooking.
By the third season, it became unwatchable. The contestants seemed to get more and more extreme in their attitudes, appearances, and behaviors and the emphasis shifted to a kind of bugger thy neighbor and get them thrown off the island.
OOPS!!
Wrong show. That was hells kitchen.
I’m surprised someone hasn’t served him some rat poison sushi yet.
Loved watching him, as a kid. Didn’t give a damn about gourmet cooking.
Ramsay doesn’t suffer fools gladly. I’ve been served enough mediocre or just plain bad meals to understand his point of view. Tough meat, over salted risotto, etc,
Watch Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted
It is the best travelogue I have seen and it shows Ramsay at his most natural self in my opinion (it really is all about the food with him), you learn a lot about indigenous foods from Peru to Iceland to Texas, to Tasmania.
Ramsay and a local favorite chef do a friendly competition judged by the locals (and the chef’s friends and family) after hunting and harvesting the local ingredients and cooking the native way, most of which is outdoors.
I was fan of the original and will watch the reboot.
