How Kitchen Nightmares Manipulates You 

NGL, I enjoy the segments of Gordon telling people off if the fridge and/or the rest of the kitchen is disgusting. I've had food poisoning before, so seeing zero tolerance for poor sanitation is deeply satisfying every time. I have no sympathy for gross people.

The UK version is a quaint docu-series about running resturants effectively

my favorite part is the weeEEEEE000000OOOoooooowwwww sound whenever something is gross

when my grandma moved out of her apartment, she *insisted* I take her copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking. "Every cook should own it." Most of it is very impractical for a home cook, unless you have a lot of time. Still have it on my shelf.

Kitchen Nightmares is AVGN with Johnny Test sound effects... I feel like my third eye has been opened

I don't want to be that guy, but technically, Ramsay doesn't complain about the existence of Grilled Lettuce, he questions why you'd make a Caesar Salad with grilled lettuce, which I think is valid criticism. I definitely agree that the show always presents Gordon as right, even when he objectively isn't, like in the previously mentioned Indian Chinese fusion dish, but I don't think he's wrong for criticising a grilled Caesar Salad.

Came from the Two and Half Men video essay and this one is even better. I'm here for your come up.

The thing with the lettuce was that it was a ceasar salad, which is typically served cold, and it was spicy and they kept the butt if the lettuce on it which he says in the episode is very hard to clean and most of the time impossible to clean it's unhealthy and unsafe.

The scene where he asks for a moment and you see the giant cameras was the funniest thing ive ever seen

Not enough people talk about how the UK Kitchen Nightmares was more authentic and ran more like an individual story-based documentary rather than a trashy reality show, it had scenes that were specifically edited and scored in a way that caters to the lives of the restaurants owners lives and environment, there were many uncut shots of one-on-one conversations, it was less commercial and trivial, something you could take a bit more seriously. Edit: since ppl don’t understand the difference between a statement and an opinion, this is not me saying the uk version is more entertaining, clearly it’s not, the us one is funnier and more chaotic, I was simply pointing out that compared to the us version, the uk version was objectively more of an honest show.. that’s all I was saying, so stop creating subtext that I didn’t make.

You’re wrong about the lettuce part, he’s mocking how that salad he made shouldn’t be grilled and the way an entire chunk of uncleaned lettuce was grilled was dumb. Of course Gordon knows grilled lettuce exists

i worked for a chef who proudly thought he was like gordon ramsay and he would would just berate me all the time, pretending like that was the best way to teach somebody cooking. and now i don't cook for a living anymore lmao!!!! the clips from the boiling point show really got my hackles up reminding me of that chef, but when i used to watch the american kitchen nightmares it didn't faze me... probably because of its wacky editing during ramsay's meltdowns. leaving in that air after his screaming really makes the clip all the more emotionally loaded. great vid, jai!

I remember seeing a kitchen nightmares episode where there's this one almost literally hole in the wall restaurant Gordon goes to, the owner makes this fantastic creole dishes, and gordon actually cleans his plate. The owner was a top teir cook, but she just couldn't manage it very well on her own, and eventually had to shut down, and work for someone else.

the lettuce was wrong because they kept it all together as a head of lettuce without washing the dirt and chemical off it

Remembering that one clip on the KN youtube channel was titled something like "This is why the restaurant is failing" and it was one of those clips of Gordon ripping into one restaurant's unsanitary kitchen. That restaurant sued Kitchen Nightmares because the clip was from over 10 years before and the restaurant had turned itself around and was actually successful and well-reviewed at the time the clip was posted. It kind of illustrates how Kitchen Nightmares is more about gawking than it is about rehabilitation.

Love the video BUT with the lettuce, it was due to multiple reasons. 1) It was not some dish from a different culture. It was a grilled Caesar salad the chef made to be different. 2) They did not cut it up so it was easily edible to the customer. It was just a whole head of romaine lettuce thrown on the grill. 3) They did not properly wash and prepare the lettuce so there was still dirt and potentially pesticides from the farm still on it. I do fully agree though about Gordon being a jerk. I watched Boiling Point too and he's so insane in it but it's so good. One thing i really truly love about Gordon is how he treats servers. He does not take owners treating employees horribly. He's also genuinely really good with kids. It's wild to watch MasterChef junior. I also enjoy how he treats disabled people. He wants them to know they are just as capable but still makes accomodations for them, like the blind woman on MasterChef, but he also doesn't baby them. He treats us like everyone else and I enjoy that. This is a wonderful video! You bring up amazing points and I feel the same about 24 hours to hell. Could never get into it. But I actually love the kitchen nightmares youtube channel video titles haha.

At 28:00 when you say: "They put cameras genuinely everywhere!", and the shot is of Gordon and another guy standing in front of the women's bathroom, I was going "oh no!"

I used to watch Kitchen Nightmares to have pre's and play my Kitchen Nightmare drinking game... 1. Gordan swears - drink (duh) 2. Gordan says "well" - drink (this is the one that will actually get you) 3. Gordan makes a statement in the extreme e.g. "This is the most disgusting restaurant i have EVER seen!" - finish your drink (this usually happens once an episode, sometimes doesn't, and occasionally more than once. Hanging on this random moment is really fun)

My favorite kitchen nightmares quirk is how the people eating in the restaurant suddenly try to transform into professional food critics when they know the camera is on them. I'm haunted by the wine drunk woman in a Mediterranean restaurant eating her food when she says "That's a good Mufasa." She was supposed to be eating Moussaka obviously. To this day I'm not sure if she was asked to comment on a food she's never heard before because the show made a big deal of Gordon's recipe for it, or if she genuinely thought she sounded like she knew what she was saying.

The sound effects are legit the Key & Peele skit about this where you don't know if it's good or bad LOL

I severely disliked Gordon until I saw the UK version of "Kitchen Nightmares". He was helpful and supportive. I wouldn't call him "calm" - but she he was intense it came off as passion and integrity, not anger. I always hoped that was his true personality and the American shows were an act, but maybe I had that backwards. Regardless, the UK one portrays a man unwilling to put up with bullshit but willing to be friendly and supportive to anyone who is earnest, regardless of ability. I wish that sold on American television.

8:05 I agree Gordon is wrong on some things, especially a lot of non-European food, but you missed the point here. Grilled lettuce IS a thing. But Gordon did not order grilled lettuce. He ordered caesar salad. He did not say, “grilled lettuce as a whole is wrong,” as you mentioned, he’s made it himself. He was talking about it in the context of what he ordered, “I’ve never seen a *caesar salad* made with grilled lettuce.” Any normal person assumed “Grilled Caesar sals” means the chicken is grilled. Not the … lettuce. I’m Thai, I regularly eat lettuce wrapped food. Yes, it’s a thing. (Yes, it’s delicious) But in a caesar salad? A whole lettuce piece? Really? Additionally, he was upset that it wasn’t cut right, so it was not cleaned properly on the inside. That’s not even mentioning how absolutely awful it looks. It’s a grilled lettuce, but there’s unmelted bits of cheese on top despite it being grilled. The lettuce looks barely cooked, the sauce is just randomly across the plate, the chicken is just.. ew. It looks terrible. I’m not sure why you would take this out of context like this when there are many other examples of him being wrong.

I think the tiktoks where he’s reacting to people’s food/cooking is all in good fun tbh. The people love it when he makes them.

I understand the irony but watching this video talking about how to stop the toxicity of kitchen nightmares we have to stop watching it really makes me want to go watch some kitchen nightmares

I put the 3 hour compilations of kitchen nightmares on my phone and listen to it while I’m at work, it helps the day go by faster

The digression into Britney Spears discourse was peak

I remember only 1 episode of Kitchen Nightmare where Gordon liked all the food and cleared the plate. Funnily enough that's my favorite segment when he goes back with a clean plate.

Don't forget that when he left aubergine his entire brigade went with him. They wouldn't have done that if they were being 'abused'. He's an incredible people person and rewards hard work handsomely. He's given plenty of staff careers and their own restaurants

While most of Gordons berating of staff is way over the line you had one bit where he berated someone for cross contamination and honestly, that is something that, while not complete berating and humiliation, deserves being told to the staff that it is not okay. You are there to cook food for other people, not risk their health. Even then, if this was the first time this happened at the restaurant Gordon was way over the line but if there has been several cases of cross contamination then its either that or firing some of the staff and getting in people who understand the minimum modicum of health and safet in a kitchen.

But I do think watching enough of him, even on American Television, you can see cracks in his professionalism. Virginia on Hell’s Kitchen got so far kissing his butt, to the point he gets called out and all he has to say is something along the lines of “How dare you.”

if i was a sailor and the notification of a new lowercasejai video was a beautiful siren singing on the rocks i would be so drowned right now

Living abroad in the states as a British person really made me realise how well respected he is over there. I think at least in the UK, he’s more of a contentious figure. My mum hated the guy but I remember a guy I worked with thought he was pretty funny. In the states, it’s seems like most people were in agreement that he was a great chef and really well respected in the UK. At best, he’s a tv personality. At worst a bully.

The algorithm is about to push this into orbit, trust me

I feel like it comes down to him knowing that these professional chefs can do much better. If you see how he talks to the waitresses hes always very kind to them + the kids on master chef junior

Screaming and pressuring staff is deeply engrained in chef culture. It's old school but it creates insane discipline. This is wherever cheffing is taken seriously anyways.

He's tough with people who are way too full of themselves, but very forgiving to those who are genuinely trying to learn.

I’m gonna assume that you have no experience in a commercial kitchen. The health, safety and quality control concerns are all valid. Just because someone is cussing and angry about something doesn’t make them wrong.

You hit the nail on the head with the hyperbolic US version of the show. It’s all about the drama and nurturing a sense of tension/conflict. As a side note, Gordon admits in a British episode of Kitchen Nightmares that, growing up, he had two options: continue getting into trouble or working in the kitchen. He used the kitchen to foster discipline and forge a better life for himself. And it was neat to see him convey that vulnerability with an owner whom he was trying to help.

During the beginning of the episodes when they show black and white footage of when the restaurant was doing well in the past 😂 like the cameras weren't there in the past, they just filmed the restaurant when it was busy and made it black and white. When I noticed that I noticed a lot more editing nonsense with this show

I have a few comments about your video essay. One particular part I think you got wrong was the part about the grilled lettuce. His comments does seem to indicate that he is surprised that the lettuce is grilled, but that is not the bulk of his criticism. One major point was that he was served the "butt" of the lettuce. He rightly concludes that you cannot clean the lettuce properly. This is important because actual Grilled Ceasar Salad is usually cut up first for this very reason. What Gordon got was just a head of grilled lettuce, and not what a Grilled Ceasar Salad should be. So there was more than one reason why he didn't like the dish, not just because it was grilled. Apparently the chicken was dry too. Secondly, his recipe you quoted is actually for Roasted Lettuce, not Grilled. They are different cooking techniques. In his recipe he required the use of a pan or a wok, not a grill. The reason why someone would not grill lettuce, is because "Foods are typically grilled so the proteins, fats and sugars in them can cause a browning reaction that improves the flavor. Lettuce consists mostly of water and it has a tiny amount of sugar in it. You'd burn the sugar before you get any beneficial reaction going." That is why you see charring on the lettuce. From a food scientist (yes this is a thing) and a professional chef's point of view, it is simply bad practice to do this. That's not the say that people won't grill lettuce and like it. Just like how some people make Hot Dog and Pickle Jello, and like that too. They even put ketchup on it. Also, lettuce wraps aren't grilled. I even tracked down the source of your lettuce wrap image to an article on Delish, and those aren't grilled either. I also don't know why you say that Grilled Lettuce is "pretty common in Asian food". When I researched that point, I could only find a handful of examples of Mediterranean dishes with an Asian spin to it. Could you please clarify why you say this? You also made a claim that two of the shots in the lettuce scene were probably taken at a different time. What would make you think this? If you look at the episode you can tell that all of those people are present in the room with Gordon. If you look at the shot where Ami (the waitress) is bringing the grilled lettuce to Gordon, you can clearly see them in the same room as him. In the episode when he holds up the lettuce for people to see, you can clearly see people laughing directly at it. Why would there be any cause to believe that the people in the two shots you showed, that were also in the room with him, would not be laughing along? In both shots they are looking at something, why would it not be the grilled lettuce? Though, that being said there are two other shots that better fit the bill. There is a scene where a woman is standing next to a screen with the words "Park's Edge" on it. She is sometimes there, and sometimes not in the following scenes. It could be she left the room at some point, but there is a scene showing a person laughing where you can see her arm and purse. I think that is far more definitive than the two shots you showed. When you brought up his finances...to quote: "a little surprising that his whole thing in Kitchen Nightmares is being relatable and that sort of thing. But he was a multi-millionaire the whole time the show was being made"? Why would having money make someone not relatable? There is more to a person than their bank account. Sure we can't relate to them on a financial level, but maybe we can relate to him as a person who cares about food? But him being relatable, I believe, isn't why people watch Kitchen Nightmares. He is Gordon Ramsey the chef that gets angry about people making bad food! That's what Gordon Ramsey is known for, being angry about bad food. Remember Hell's Kitchen? Was he relatable in that too? He, and his anger is one of the reasons why people watch Kitchen Nightmares. At least, so it seems, in the US. The UK version of Kitchen Nightmares is actually much more tame. If you watch the UK version, the editing is clearly different. Gordon seems calmer, and the music is more relaxed. You don't hear many of those jarring sounds like the "shrill stings" they have in the US version when a conflict is occurring. I had other comments, but most of them just boil down to the nature of reality TV in general. Like the absurdity of that 24 Hours to Hell and Back. While I do agree with a number of your points, I can help but wonder. Do you like/hate Gordon Ramsey? A lot of your video seems to directly talk about him, his past, his finances, his earlier shows. This video seems to be more aimed at criticizing the famed chef, rather than simply talking about Kitchen Nightmares.

Kitchen Nightmares, Hotel Hell, Bar Rescue... It's an addiction

Gonna play devil's advocate, Gordon got food poisoning far more often on American Kitchen nightmares as well, most of the kitchens in EU Nightmares dont come anywhere near how disgusting the US got

Omg! I'm so glad you brought up Kenji! My ex got me one of his cookbooks (The Food Lab) and it's incredible. It's a beautiful blend of technique, ingredient education, how to select the right tools, various culinary definitions, and food history. You can read it like a non-fiction book about food science and history, or you can skip straight to the recipes without missing too much context. Whether you want to learn about food or cook or both, it's great The funniest thing is that I "discovered" him in complete reverse order. First, I got his cookbook as a gift. Then, I stumbled across his RU-vid page by complete coincidence. And I finally found out that he's a well-known recipe creator and food journalist for Serious Eats and New York Times and has his own restaurant

I watched the first episode. It was the one where he yells at a heavily-accented French guy and fixes his crappy restaurant. One of the first things he did was make him throw out some ugly statues he had for decor. Then in the last scene, where the French restaurant owner is standing in the main dining room and talking about how much better his restaurant is doing, and how much he appreciates Gordon Ramsey’s advice, even thought they didn’t see eye-to-eye at first... in the background, I saw THE SAME STATUES that he threw out earlier. And later, I saw the “French restaurant owner” in a bit part on a British TV show, and his accent had mysteriously disappeared. The later episodes might have been real, but the first season was completely staged.

The biggest question I have is how this man managed to look 45 for 30 years??!!

24:46 "I don't want to be labeled as a slurpity chef." - Gordon Ramsay

I binge-watched the first season of "Kitchen Nightmares" a few months ago, I'd never watched it before, and I knew I was watching some premium trash television when the SECOND EPISODE started with a voice-over saying "Tonight! Gordon faces his toughest Kitchen Nightmare challenge yet!" And every single episode says the same thing at the beginning. It's dumb, it's formulaic, and I love it. My second favorite reoccurring bit is when early in the episode during one of the pre-commercial break "Coming up later..." bits, they'll say "Disaster strikes!" with footage of cops cars or a fire truck. Then it turns out they just invited the local police or fire department to the grand re-opening. It's hilarious.

In season 1 of Hells kitchen, they served a whole lettuce as part of a Ceasar salad. And a customer complained, wanting his salad cut, saying he had never had a ceasar salad with a whole lettuce. Made me think of Gordon arguing that when its whole, it can not be properly cleaned. Yet he did the same thing on Hells kitchen season one: served a whole lettuce.

This vid and two and a half men essays were so good. Always love seeing some good independent analysis being done by RU-vidrs. Keep it up!

ah, so THIS is why you used kitchen nightmares as an example of the kuleshov effect in the fesh pince video

It’s funny because when a boss treats their staff like shit, he goes off on them and says it isn’t right.

Gordon Ramsey's Chef Blast is actually a brilliant alternate title for this video.

Gordon is an absolute cartoon of a man but he might be a genius; few guys know they are assholes, even fewer guys are so aware they can monetize it all the way to international stardom. Is he evil? possibly, im sure those chefs in Aubergine and the Ramsay restaurant got the worst of it, bet he was a massive pissbaby in the '90s, but he is also probably 5% of the reason The Bear exists.

i cannot stop watching clips of all of gordon's shows but he's simultaneously always annoyed me so this is extremely cathartic to see

He's not normalising abuse in the kitchens. This already IS the norm, it's a high pressure environment. It's not just a job, it's a calling and people have a passion for it.

I searched every rancid corner of the Internet trying to find the episode of Britain's most unbearable bosses (often confused with Boiling Point), but I couldn't find it anywhere.

I've worked in gastronomy for several upper class chefs, who truly know their trade. Unsurprisingly they all are aware of Ramsay. What may interesting is their attitude towards him, which is basically unanimous. All of 'em respect his skills as a cook - that's something I can't judge which he seems to possess. They also look at him with some kind of longing - not only for the highly successful part, but for the being able to trash the kitchen when everything is going against your wishes part (you can't do that professionally in real life). Aside from that, he's a joke. Don't know if that adds to the story.

Great video! I noticed a while ago how this show (and others with Ramsey in them) is so incredibly addictive because of the way it is edited and structured. It’s actually a very common format beyond cooking shows: you have an expert going in to fix an issue ata different location every episode, be it to train a dog, fix a living room, pimp a car, etc

Great video. I’ve been watching this show for years and feel the exact same way as you do - it’s one of my favorite “junk foods” and endlessly entertaining. You did a great job explaining the editing choices and the commentary on the RU-vid channel is spot on. Really excellent job!!

Those Kitchen Nightmare RU-vid thumbnails look like something you'd see on the front of the Daily Star.

20:29 Where have I seen this beautiful, gently scrolling checkerboard background before?

I remember there was an AMA a few years back with someone who worked at a KN restaurant, and she said that Ramsey didn't actually spend very much time at the restaurant--he would come in for the parts that would be on TV, but the rest of the time it was his team doing the actual work of fixing the restaurant.

Really great editing on this. And as an American, I appreciated the background info on Gordon Ramsay before his fame here. Keep it up!

kitchen nightmares is not a cooking show, it's a reality show period, and everything being watched on screen adds to that. so most of what you see on screen shouldn't equal to real life because if real life is was as chaotic, dramatic and out of touch as reality TV is, watching it wouldn't be fun in the first place.

Props for using Hotel Dusk and Last Window music.

did not expect AVGN to make an appearance on this video

I love that you’re using Hotel Dusk music in the background of this video! It is such an underrated game. It is absolutely one of my favorites, and it holds such a special place in my heart.

thank you for talking about the french chef, my grandma passed and now i have all those cooking books. i didnt know the lore until now

The panopticon analogy is really great and can easily be applied to social media as a whole

This is an absolutely incredibly written video. Your lines of reasoning are just nuanced and unexpected yet completely intuitive and man it just really speaks to how i feel about the show. Youre the best, keep making essays like this😊

It’s really nice to see channels with 40,000 or 50,000 or even 20,000 subscribers making Waze now and getting their first video that has over 300 K or even 1 million views

This is a great ending. I wasn't expecting much from the concept. But man, that ending the way you set up the prison thing. Just great craftsmanship. Good luck on the next videos

A little while ago I saw there were some Kitchen Nightmares episodes free on RU-vid so I started watching them out of curiosity. After maybe four episodes I realized I was watching the same thing with different people and places, so I stopped and clicked "Do not recommend". There's definitely a few episodes that are unique and owners that are likable, like Momma Cherri (edit: just remembered that was the UK version too, LUL), but most of the episodes look SO staged and EVERYTHING is about what GORDON wants... and yet the show is still treated as an all-time iconic classic. All you need is an angry guy. On that part about cameras being everywhere, I loved the scene in that episode with the twins where Gordon slams the door on the camera guy trying to follow them so he can have a private conversation with them... and then you just... see their conversation anyway, from the camera that was already set up in there. The commenters on that video were actually so braindead they legitimately praised him for slamming the door like he's the nicest guy ever, which reminds you of exactly who these shows are made for.

watching all ur vids. honestly you got a good voice and have a talent for graphics and how everything sounds. great videos dude

I was NOT prepared for the video essay writer to take us back to the 1800s for panopticon lore

Gordon Ramsey is the ultimate heel in kitchen imagine him cutting a promo in a Ring

chefs getting angry and shouting and insulting food is fine and normal, its hot in the kitchen and a singular vision and direction is needed, if peoole are dragging their feet they need to be told it and quick

I think the issue is the perspective of the Anger. If I stood up in my chair and shouted at the resturant employees I'd be seen as a bad guy, but Ramsay is perceived to be helpful in his rage I suppose it seems more passionate. At the end of it all he's there to help so I guess people give it a pass. My second theory is Schadenfreuden (or however the fuck you spell it) people secretly just want to shout at people that are incompetent.

He doesn’t get mad at people for nothing. He gets mad at people for not having standards, not being accountable, treating staff horribly, and operating disgusting kitchens. Most people Gordon has yelled at had it coming.

There are certain people who can't be voice actors. When their voice is too familiar, and too ingrained in pop culture, it will never appear to sink up with an animated character that doesn't resemble them. It will always look like what it is, audio overlayed with a moving image, no illusion of synergy

this video makes me fast handheld zoom, horror movie musical sting

"the only chef who discriminates more than Ramsey is Paula Dean" Ouch!

You are getting parts of this wrong, but I like where you are spot on. I seriously dislike Ramsay because of the impression he leaves on an industry I respect and have worked in. 3:22 "he always enters..." by meeting the owners for the first time and insulting something about them. It might be the way they look, the way the restaurant looks, or anything else that is demeaning. That's his standard opening: make the owners dolts. I've written up a sample script which is essentially what you summarize, but I go into a little more detail. It is the same show every time. Except you are a bit more kind to him than I am. You left out his superman cape and the fact that 80%+ of the restaurants fail after he leaves because he put them in an unsustainable position with his 'investment'. 7:25 "[essentially the assumption that Gordon's perspective is correct - and it frigging isn't]" Bravo. 7:50 You indeed nailed the grilled lettuce. I have a bunch more examples that I have collected over time. For example, he fakes not being able to get a burger in his mouth in an episode because it is too tall. Then his home version of a burger is 5 inches tall, and somehow that's fine. 8:35 I love how he shows up to restaurants in his damned underwear. Later he'll get his cape on... I would keep watching, but I honestly just hate him too much. And I don't hate people. On the other hand, I will make an excuse to subscribe because you are OK... ;-)

Props for using the grilled cheese footage when pointing out he knows what he's talking about SOMETIMES. I love Gordon but goddamn.

I heard Hotel Dusk music. You have great taste my friend.

I disagree with if someone swares that they mean it some people just cuss alot

You didn’t even mention the best part, when the serving staff are laughing their asses off at their bosses being chewed out.

love the way you have shown us your chain of thought. Keep going i love it

Your videos are so well made, I'm glad your 2 and a half men video showed up in my recommendations

UK man realises that TV isn't real

Lady Emily has a kitchen nightmare video that has similar points but breaks down a specific episode. One where the production didn't get the shots they wanted.

Damn...that took a turn at the end. Great work on the script and presentation. It's both entertaining and able to send an important message. Keep it up, Cheers

I spilled water I was drinking, when you brought up AVGN

I swear every kitchen nightmares youtube upload has bots in the comments praising the person who create the thumbnails. Its just hard to believe someone gushes over the thumbnail creator everytime one is uploaded

Just watched your Two and a Half Men video and have subscribed and started watching this. Really liking the use of Hotel Dusk/Last Window music, very underrated games and you don’t hear the OST in RU-vid videos often

one time a customer complained to me that her lettuce was grilled she ordered the grilled romaine lettuce. I really have to wonder if Gordon Ramsay has never heard of this dish before? It seems pretty normal over here, except for when dipshit customers order it and forget what they ordered

I always saw his shouty swearing as a necessity for his main shows. In Hell's Kitchen, it's about putting the contestants through the absolute wringer to see if they can cope with the stress and rise above the competition; gold is refined in fire, after all. In Kitchen Nightmares or Hotel Hell, it's about getting through the thick skulls of owners and chefs who are so delusional or in denial that they sometimes don't even realize what's wrong. When you see him in a casual friendly setting, like a Hell Kitchen reward session or with kids, he's an absolute delight.

excellent video, you had my attention captured the whole time. subscribed!

Imagine thinking, Gordon Ramsay is the only person who laid off people during the pandemic, and then using that as justification as to why he’s an asshole. this whole video is just you being jealous that someone else is more popular than you.

Okay, how are you not a million-plus subscriber channel? It’s been a while since I found a creator as compelling, entertaining, and engaging as you!
