“Hell’s Kitchen” is ok but he really goes berserk on his other show “Kitchen Nightmares’ and it’s just fantastic. Gordon Ramsey who is supposedly a rock star, a god in culinary circles, Ill admit i had never heard of the guy before he popped up on Hell’s Kitchen. As someone commented on line he’s essentially known now as a “professional Douche” where he just berates and belittles people on TV and I do not know why but I love every minute of it. How does he get away with that? I think it’s only because he’s a brit, if Simon Cowell were an American people would just punch him for the things he says, no one would find him charming or amusing, same with Gordon Ramsey! and I have to admit every time he goes into a restaurant that is failing, orders a meal, eats it, hates it, and then berates the chef, and the entire staff, I just love every second of it. There have been episodes where I really thought he was going to get dinged upside the head with a spatula or a soup ladle or something because he was just such a bastard to the chef he had come to help. Of course within one hour he’s taken an eatery on the brink of financial ruin, transformed it with a new menu, and his design team that has come in and done six months worth of renovations overnight, and another restaurant is saved. I cant believe how entertained I am watching a foreign blowhard chef scream at a bunch of clueless cooks!. “Kitchen Nightmares”, on fox, I DVR it every week, maybe I’m just sick but I love to watch the abuse!
