Heaven knows his restaurants certainly aren't bringing in the fans. . . especially when

.

I can't stand the guy, but my sister watches him all the time. He gives me the creeps.

I wonder how much of his creepiness is an act. I have a feeling "if it gets people watching", he'd do the show in a gorilla suit.

Actually I didn't like him much but the bf LOVES Hell's Kitchen so we watch it. However, after watching Gordaon Ramsey's F-Word on BBCA I have to say that I like him now. His ass hattery isn't really an "act" but it is definitely overdone for TV

He annoys me, too. I've never seen his programme. But his 'personality' makes for fine television viewing over here, apparently.

These are some of his best moments from Season 3:

 
People like it when he swears. I don't get why. I wonder how much money I could make if I went on TV and swore for an hour.
 
I liked Kitchen Nightmares for a while until they started repeating themselves too much, but I can't bear Hell's Kitchen cause I'm not into reality shows that much.
 
You don't get to be a top chef by being "nice". The only thing different about GR is that he doesn't feel the need to play up to the camera - you watch any real chef in their own kitchen, and they'll be every bit as bad.

I completely disagree. A chef who screams at his staff day in day out, is not going to have a happy kitchen, and the food is going to suffer.

A better plan is to hire the best people you can and let them do what they're good at. You can run a tight ship without the histrionics Ramsay displays on TV. Which are certainly just for the camera anyway, I doubt very much he acts like that in his own restaurants.
 
I read online somewhere some time ago where the next season of Hell's Kitchen is being filmed in Banff, Canada. All the chefs except one is American and the female Canadian chef studied in the States and has been working in NYC for the past several years.

Makes me wonder why they came to Canada.
 
Every real chef I've encountered in real life - and since I used to help my dad do food hygiene inspections during school holidays, there have been a few - has been a bastard. And in a busy kitchen, you have to shout to make yourself heard.

That's all I'm saying.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least to learn that GR is really like that. I have it on good authority that Jamie Oliver's personality in the privacy of his own kitchen is completely at odds with the chirpy-cockney-sparrow act he does on TV.

:lol:

that made me laugh about the Jamie Oliver thing. I would love to see him loose his lid when someone messes up a Risotto.

Has anyone noticed on Hell's Kitchen that none of the chef's he has on the show can seem to make a good risotto?

Part of the secret American plan to start colonizing?
 
After the way the contestants behave in the kitchen, I will never eat out again.
They are slobes, and most of them smoke. What an ad for the industry------???](*,)
 
Jamie Oliver is annoying too. He uses made up words and words that don't have any relevance to what he is doing.
 
I've met a few chefs who are not bastards. (Hell, one of them is on TV, even.) They make it clear that they're in charge, and that they need to be listened to and obeyed. That doesn't make them bastards - it makes them in charge. Their sous chefs and other kitchen employees know this and respect it, so there's not much in the way of kitchen drama or hard feelings. It'd make for a boring reality TV show, but it makes for a happy staff, and it makes for a killer restaurant.

I think Gordon Ramsey learnt his cooking in the army, which prolly explains his brusque manner.

That said, a kitchen has to be organised with many people knowing and doing their roles to be successful. These cooks and chefs under the head chef have to churn out to perfection the same dish several hundred times during a service, day in day out. It's monotonousto say the least, and by the looks of all the shouting to let others know when things are ready, it does require a stern leadership to make a kitchen run on time to keep its demanding patrons happy with the same dishes they expect to be the same every time they visit. Anyone say 'McDonalds?'.

Gordon Ramsey is too full of himself and his restaurants are nothing to write home about. No, he does not need another hit TV show. He has enough money.

I didn't say he needs another hit show. He needs the one he already has, mainly because his restaurants are crapping out and closing all over the place.

Besides, if he was such a great chef, why would his restaurants have to call for take-away tandoori chicken and blamange?
 
>>>Besides, if he was such a great chef, why would his restaurants have to call for take-away tandoori chicken and blamange?

I think that's "blancmange". And the chefs I know get takeout all the time. We joke about one chef's hankering for the nachos from the Mexican place next door. Nobody gives musicians grief for listening to albums other than their own. :)
