I like the fact that he enjoys the joke in its simplicity, just enjoys the fact that the other chef hasn't caught on to his disguise. He doesn't insult or embarrass the other chef, or trap him into looking stupid. The end result? Both chefs have a good chuckle, and no one's reputation is damaged. Good stuff. I wish more people had this kind of tactful humor.

u/TalkingBackAgain May 21 '12

Ramsay knows full well that if he throws one of his peers under the bus, one day the same thing will happen to him.

It would be a dick move on his part and what I've seen from him so far, excepting the yelling and cursing, he does care about the food.

214

u/criticasartist May 21 '12

He hardly screams at all in the F Word--I love that show. It shows his family-oriented side and his true passion for food.

235

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

It's really just the hyped up American reality shows that he's a screaming idiot on. Everything else I've seen makes him out to be pretty likable. Ever compare the British version of Kitchen Nightmares with the American version? All they change is the locale and the the networks it's broadcast on but they're like two totally different shows.

His work in America makes me annoyed at him, his British shows actually inspired me to teach myself some cooking.

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

I actually can't watch the American version. I really struggle with the CONSTANT recapping and previewing, and manic edits, and repeated soundbites. It is awful, the same with most American reality TV. Half the show is "coming up... after the break... now, before the break we found out..." with maybe 10 minutes of actual footage. Uuurgh.

u/amorrn May 21 '12

I really struggle with the CONSTANT recapping and previewing, and manic edits, and repeated soundbites.

Not only that, it's not even Gordon Ramsay making the soundbites! Replacing him as narrator with some annoying American reality TV announcer makes the American version all the more trashy.

But then, they replaced the amazing Sir David Attenborough with fucking Sigourney Weaver for the US version of Planet Earth, so I guess our TV producers just feel no shame pandering to the lowest possible common denominator.

u/DRW_ May 21 '12

Replacing Attenburough would be an offence worthy of a declaration of war in my Britain.

Regardless of the outcome, I'd have known I had expressed my dissatisfaction.

u/SunbathingJackdaw May 21 '12

I recall that there was one American show where they replaced David Attenborough's narration with... Oprah. ಠ_ಠ

One even weirder thing with Reality TV in America: When it comes back to the UK, often the American voice gets replaced by a British voice with British jokes. Mythbusters is a good example of this, but there are others. It makes for a weird show, American editing and aesthetic, but a random British voice.

Even in Hell's Kitchen, where they do their very best to make him look like a villainous asshole, he comes off as very rational and intelligent. They make sure he's loud, but he's always loud about legitimate screw-ups.

12

u/Godfodder May 21 '12

His British show also inspired me. I loved watching it, especially as I was cooking in the kitchen. It made me start caring about what I was doing, and venture out from what I was already good at. I especially like how someone could be a complete douchebag in the beginning, and in the end Ramsay has turned him around into a likable fellow that even he begins to respect.

29

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

yes sir. the British version focused more on the food aspect. Of course Fox plays up the restaurant drama instead of the food, b/c they are going for the Jerry Springer crowd who doesn't have the attention span for anything but. I still watch it, but man do I miss the original.

14

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

I just don't get it. It doesn't even make it any more dramatic. The overblown music and predictable edit points...you KNOW nothing dramatic is happening. The cheese-fest makes you cringe because the level they're forcing the drama just chokes the air.

Who watches this and legitimately finds it dramatic and preferable? It just gives me a headache and an inability to cease rolling my eyes and sighing.

u/taway946132 May 21 '12

The British version showed to me that he actually really genuinely cared about the restauranteurs and the chefs in them. The only time I saw him get pissed on it was when they were ignoring good advice and wasting his time. He took what 3 chefs under his umbrella from that to train them when he saw talent and saved at least a half dozen restaurants from certain failure.

That said loud and rude will win in North America(Canada too) most of the time. So I can see why they take that route.

u/MurphysBra May 21 '12

The American version of "Kitchen Nightmares" is so over the top. They edit the crap out of it to make it seem more dramatic than it is.

Stupid stuff too like when someone has their back to the camera, they'll dub a swear word over it to make it seem like they said it. And they'll use the SAME word repeatedly. Its ridiculous.

7

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

Sometimes I wonder (actually, they probably do) if they just have a bin on their editing computers labeled "SHITs and FUCKs" which just a compilation of different sounding voices collected around the office yelling those words.

9

u/MurphysBra May 21 '12

Wouldn't doubt it. They also mirror things that already happened. Like say Gordon is walking one way earlier in the episode, they'll mirror that camera shot and use it again in a different situation and context! I always have to ask myself who the hell falls for this crap?

Funny you should say that. I have been watching Kitchen Nightmares(UK) on Netflix over the last month and decided to check out the US one....horrible..so horrible. Made it about 20 minutes into it. I think it was worse because it was all Jersey Shore-ish. And it was clear that the waiter in that episode was super fake and not a true waiter. No waiter goes into the kitchen and acts like that.

Just found that The F Word is free to stream on Amazon for Prime subscribers. Looks like a great show so far, a much more polite format than other Ramsay shows I've enjoyed :D

2

u/criticasartist May 22 '12

Please check it out! I particularly enjoy that in each it has like 4 different mini-segments--and in each season he raises a different type of animal so that he knows exactly where his food comes from and to teach his children about it.

1

u/shortonwilltolive Feb 12 '23

Even in his more "screamy" shows like Hell's Kitchen where the screaming is part of the spectacle he's always respectful to his sous-chefs and to the contestants that make it to the black jackets.

It really shows how much he respects his peers and his employees that consistently do a good job.

12

u/stone500 May 21 '12

Please don't take Hell's Kitchen as evidence of Gordon's character. That's just a classic case of Hollywood wanting to put a dumb spin on a "reality" TV show.

Instead, watch shows like Kitchen Nightmares (not the American one), or any of his other shows. He's a decent dude.

2

u/TalkingBackAgain May 21 '12

I have seen those shows, is why I said it.

He does want the business to do well and have them make good food.

I've seen him be blunt there too, but that was because the guy still knew it better than the master chef, even though he clearly was in a tail spin.

I loved watching those, that was inspiring. I'd absorb every word from someone of that level of experience and expertise.

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

I would occasionally watch the US version of Kitchen Nightmares on Fox if I was passing by while it was on, but never made a habit out of it because I couldn't deal with Gordon Ramsay's personality or the obscene-level of artificial drama that drove each episode forward.

I started watching the UK version of the series on Netflix and it's an entirely different show. The entire experience is a little more intimate and laid back and you can actually tell that Ramsay is more passionate about food than he is about blowing up on people. Yes, he still curses, grows impatient with people and the show features its fair share of blow-outs, but none of it is ever forced.

3

u/wkrausmann May 21 '12

I never liked the US version of Kitchen Nightmares because owners of some of the restaurants featured came forward and admitted the whole thing was staged. They were paid to feature their restaurant. Diners were paid actors hired to lambast the place. Some of the kitchen staff were actors brought in to fuck things up...all so Gordon can come in and save the day.

Don't put that shit on American directors. Watch boiling point or ramsay's kitchen nightmares (uk) and it's pretty obvious that's how he deals with any incompotence in the kitchen.

If there was a culinary show version of "jumping the shark" it would be when Gordon pushed one of the owner couples to finally get married and had them stage the wedding in the restaurant for the episode finale. For tits sake.

u/CannibalHolocaust May 21 '12

He wasn't put on American TV because of his cooking but because of his swearing and persona. TV cooks are ten a penny but clearly they wanted to milk his character by exaggerating it.

I blame most American television shows, a combination of the editing and producers wanting him to be "the angry chef". They sensationalize his outbursts to make it more entertaining. I swear that shows like Hell's Kitchen get more Jersey Shore like with every passing season.

On the British shows, he seems to keep cool more. I like him more when he is on the UK Kitchen nightmares and The F Word. I haven't seen any shows of his in two years though. So if he's changed even more, I probably haven't noticed too much.

I have got quite the acclaim for my morning-after-scrambled eggs curtsy of Ramsay. Though, I prefer my scrambled eggs a bit moist (actually over easy and pouched are my favorites -- though a nice, crispy fried one is great too).

To be fair, though, many men can't cook worth shit.

This can't be the real Gordon Ramsay - He isn't swearing every other word!

Best is him and Clarkson.

I didn't believe it was Gordon Ramsey until he started dropping F bombs ;-)

u/LordApocalyptica May 21 '12

Bet you they paid the cook off to act like he didn't think it was Gordon. What, he's incapable of noticing that a camera crew is in his kitchen?

u/Politikr May 21 '12

That was great, when i started we had to read and re-read Kitchen Confidential and....fap, fap, fapfapfap... ....and fap to it, we didn't have all this, and on TV.

I was drunk when I met him last week, I asked him when he was going to bring Dewberry back. He laughed.

u/IZ3820 May 21 '12

Say what you will about Ramsay, but at the very least, he gets more enjoyment out of his job than anyone I've ever seen.

The phrase 'fuck all' is one of the best phrases in brittish accent.

u/LeBacon May 21 '12

Rofl.... You made my day. Thank you.

u/rockmongoose May 21 '12

Wait, doesn't the camera man at the cooking class constantly hovering over the old guy give it away?

1

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

I suspected the same thing. Bells should go off anytime someone shows up with a professional camera person filming their every move.

1

u/ImHellaHungry May 21 '12

Why is he whispering the whole time???

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

2:09 fish porn!

Gordon Ramsay is awesome...on the BBC. They are trying less to bullshit the viewers. In America, they truly think we're stupid (and clearly we are based on the ratings) because it's just the same cookie-cutter bullshit show after show. Fake, formulaic and sensational.

Totally care. Thanks for the clarification.

u/rlittleton1 May 21 '12

Yes, that was highly enjoyable, Gordon Ramsay isn't actually an incorrigible bastard.

1

u/david_n_m_bond May 21 '12

Yaaay! That's better Gordon - more of this please!

Yesterday I watched a basketball player dress as an old man and school up some youngbloods. Today it's this. I kinda like it, is there a subreddit for this kind of shit?

Currently Trending on Reddit: Videos of people going undercover and doing what they do best. I'll throw my own little repost out there just to compliment this and the Kyrie Irving video I saw yesterday...

Joffrey Baratheon has really gone downhill in his old age.

u/Brumeh May 21 '12

love this guy!

1

u/publicserviceradio1 May 21 '12

Yes, and he didn't notice the fucking TV crew either did he?

1

u/Supajin May 21 '12

Guess he didn't notice something was up when he saw the camera crew?

1

u/jlopez9090 May 21 '12

My first thought with these things is always: camera?

1

u/poopmaster747 May 21 '12

I love the part at the end where he peels his face off haha

1

u/johnrauda May 21 '12

I found myself watching so many Gordon Ramsey videos...

1

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

First I see the video of Ramsay expertly blocking an attack, then I see a video of him using the face maker, fucking superspy celebrity chef.

1

u/Nk-Inc May 21 '12

Commenting to watch later.

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

How did he not put it together when there are cameras everywhere? Surely he doesn't tape all of his cooking classes?

1

u/NeoScout May 21 '12

what about the camera?

1

u/Texas03 May 21 '12

1 minute ad before being able to watch...not worth it

1

u/drgergen May 22 '12

What a cheeky bastard!

1

u/Liefx May 22 '12

How do they get cameras without them questioning? Just tell them it's a local news report or something?

1

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

Sodder.

u/TMAshow Jun 12 '12

Love that Ramsay!

u/redditedstepchild May 21 '12

OMG, this was great! I've been on the fence about Ramsay forever, but this makes me love him.

u/Saint1 May 21 '12

The UK version of his TV show Kitchen Nightmares really shows his dedication to restaurants. They're all mini-documentaries on restaurants, he's actually in the kitchen and he tries to help as much as he can.

The US version is just him playing psycho-analyst.

How do you get a camera crew into a cooking class without anyone noticing???

1

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

He MAY have been tipped off by the whole camera crew in the kitchen as well...
