I'm glad this thread is back! The last one reignited my interest in the show. I recently watched the Mangia Mangia episode. It was pretty tame as far as this show is concerned, but then... Pic related admitted to being a meth addict. I was certain for the first 3/4ths of the episode that he was just smoking weed.

He also reminded me of the handful of ugly, glasses wearing faggots I went to highschool with that were douchebags and believed they were tough shit.

I've been re-watching some of them; I totally forgot about Le Bistro with the Scottish chef who'd trained in Michelin star kitchens. Because both him & Gordon are Scottish it looked like they were an inch away from a punch-up every time they talked to each other.

Posted in the last thread, I met the lady from Blackberrys and she thought she was hot shit. Mind you this was about a year or two after that shit closed down. She was with one of the old chefs and she was super nice. We talked about roasting a pig and cooking in general. She also laughed when I was busting her balls about the owner. I did not find out what happened to grandma but I am pretty sure I rang her up once or twice when I was working at a supermarket. If it was the same lady she was also super nice and always put a smile on my face. I also live by the Spanish Pavilion but they are doing good last I heard.

I actually haven't seen that episode yet, but now I'll have to watch it. I'm the first one to get to my office so I'll usually watch an episode before everyone else arrives at work. I'll check it out tomorrow.

On to another classic, does anyone think this guy was literally retarded? It made me angry that this guy is a business owner with more money than me when I have at least double his mental capacity.

I know its "reality" TV but it seriously would not surprise me if there was a mouse somewhere. Honestly it was prob blown up for TV but Plainfield is not the nicest/cleanest city. Spanish Pavilion is in Elizabeth witch again, not the cleanest/nicest city. I think Spanish Pavilion had the dead lobster and Blackberry had the mouse.

Depends. ABC is a clear winner, but I think Sebastian's was just as bad in how utterly delusional the owner/chef was was.

I'm pretty confident that Gordon was his first encounter with a European. When Gordon started dropping truth all over the dude, his only defense was to make fun of gordon's accent and go "WOT?! WUUUHH??!"
Anybody that spends time in europe and trains there wouldn't be dumb enough to go with the "You're foreign!" defense.

I think Gordon, although he's usually always right in his critique, shouldn't be so fucking in-your-face about it all the fucking time. He reminds me a lot about my dad desu. Although he'd be right, and I acknowledged that he's right, he'd keep yelling and spouting about it at me nonetheless. Sort of like he was projecting all his anger and disappointments in life at me all at once because I messed one thing up.

He's too obsessed with driving the point home is what I'm saying, and as I said he is probably right 99% of the time, but he needs to let the person he's telling off have a small break. If you don't do that you end up pissing off the person you're telling off, instead of learning them a lesson. Too many times I'd get angry at my dad and sit drunk alone in the dark because "i don't care anymore dude lmao".

Worst person was Amy.

Worst kitchen was that Mexican place.

Worst feels after watching this show was knowing that decent guy Joe from Campania killed himself. He was decent on the show, but it seems he was cheating on his wife and did coke or some shit behind her back. People think it's a mob hit because he owed money.

My favorite episode still has to be the very first episode of the first season of the UK show.

Has a charm about it. Then the cunt owner blamed the restaurant's shutting down on Ramsay.

I'm amazed at how much a lack of communication at family restaurants can ruin the business so badly.

I don't remember the name of the restaurant but the dude had like 3 sons and 4 daughters working 24/7 at his restaurant to cut costs, but all the children were miserable af. It's not until Gordon forces the dad to listen to what his kids have to say and the dad starts breaking down resulting in a group hug.
>>
This greek restaurant episode always got to me:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwXFRNbtxiU

Two daughters, one is always crying, the other one is a 'tough girl'. During this episode even the latter daughter breaks down crying, and it's just fucking sad to watch this guy destroying his family because of a false sense of pride.
Wonder what happened to them, but looking at the track record of this show probably nothing good.

REMINDER THAT GORDON IS A STRAIGHT SAVAGE:
"So, casu marzu is a very strong cheese. If she's not a very adventurous eater, I don't think she's going to be too keen having maggots in her mouth. But, I don't want to just talk about your willy.
Here's the thing. In order to get these taste buds moving faster, have a bit of fun with this. Blindfold her, and have some fun with spooning her some sort of strange, awkward, sexy foods, and you'll see that confidence fly in a way that she'll get so much more exciting with all flavors. But blindfold her, have some fun with it, and play with it. You'll see she'll get more adventurous."
Dude was asking about maggot cheese and Gordon assblasted him out of existence
>>
>>7864478
>But, I don't want to just talk about your willy.
Fucking kek

The thing I like about him is that he's a straight savage in the kitchen. But he's tender and caring to people who try outside the kitchen. Like if your grandma made him dinner, he'd probably be really sweet to her.
>>
I think the worst kitchen has got to be that Indian restaurant in New York, though I think he covered it in the UK version. I just remember there being roaches in the basement where they kept the food and at one point he yells at the chef "TOUCH THE WALL. TOUCH IT, YOU DIRTY PIG!" It's my favorite angry Gordon scene of any show he's done.

Anyway, what's a good episode to watch? I probably stopped watching the US after S3, so anything after would be good.

The absolute worst was first or second season, Indian restaurant called Dillon's I think in NYC.

Location where they were paying like a billion dollars a month for rent, serving 1/10 food full of rotten produce and roaches.

2/3 of everything in the freezer is rotten, against code, or is roaches. There was never another episode even close.

It's hard to think he cheats considering how much PR he does with his wife and children, but I believe. He is charming and women probably throw himself at him frequently. You can always tell he is always nicer to attractive women on the show.

They changed the name of the restaurant in the episode. Maybe the episode list refers to the new name?

AFAIK Amy and her husband also had a laundry/cleaning thing that got in trouble with the policy of for laundering money and not paying the workers. By far the worst, she shouldn't even have got a spot on the show,since it's clear from the get go that they're not interested in improving or listening to Gordon.
Best was the second or third episode of the UK version, the alcoholic guy seems to be actually good, as long as he manages to free himself from the alcoholism

Do people say this show is scripted as in they feed them lines? I had the impression that they seek out the craziest, on the edge of insanity people, have Gordon antognize them, and the drama in the show practically writes itself.

Worst one I ever saw was from a short lived show he did called Great British Nightmares that is almost identical to Kitchen Nightmares UK.

The place is called the Dovecot Restaurant and the guy was serving duck with orange sauce made out of orange squash, and vacuum packed lamb shanks that didn't need refridgerating and had a shelf life measured in years.

>meanwhile I'm still over there trying to figure out why that meat I'm trying to cook has so much water and how I can get rid of it
>>
>>7877900
Does the packaging say that it has added water? Cheap meat often has the weight padded with water.
>>
>>7877928
Well, it certainly was cheap, but the package itself has no water. Everything's in the meat, the moment I start cooking it, it comes out.

Shit, I shouldn't be cheap with food.
>>
>>7877938
What meat is it?
>>
>>7877942
Loose minced meat. Not steak.
>>
How many episodes are there where the restaurant owners are incapable of taking feedback like Amy and Samy? Was that a one-off extreme?
>>
>>7877947
More heat, smaller batches bro
>>
>>7877947

Yeah, cheap minced/ground meat often contains a lot of tiny watery little bits.

It's also possible that the pan was overcrowded and/or the heat was too low, but that's an unlikely noob mistake if you consider yourself a "legendary cook"
>>
>>7877948
Usually, every episode has the owner having trouble taking criticism, but that's mostly because Ramsay is quite antagonistic about it and doesn't sugarcoat at all.
But most often, they end up shutting up and listening to him once they understand he knows what he's talking about and isn't shouting at them just for fun.
Another exception is that Chappy fat bastard.

>>7877955
>>7877957
I'm far from being legendary, and since I use electrical hobs, I tend to undercook things since I'm scared of them burning.

>I'm far from being legendary, and since I use electrical hobs, I tend to undercook things since I'm scared of them burning.

Water in the pan is a sign that the heat is too low, or that there is too much food in the pan. You don't want to boil the food it its own juices. You want to fry it.
>>
>>7878021
Okay, I'll turn on the heat next time.

Also, should I get a lid to fry stuff?
>>
>>7878024
nnnnnnooooo?

Not if your problem is too much water
>>
>>7873317

They said in the episode they wanted Ramsay to say the food is good to show "the haters" they're wrong.
>>
>>7878027
Just asking. I've been to use a lid to avoid having oil or butter jumping out of the pan, but I'm afraid the lid would keep water in.
>>
>>7878033
>but I'm afraid the lid would keep water in.

Correct. Leave the lid off for things like this.

>>oil or butter jumping out of the pan
Fat doesn't jump out of the pan on its own. It only splatters if you get moisture into it. Therefore, make sure that your food is DRY before you put it into the pan. Wipe off any marinade you used. Pat meats and veggies dry with a towel or something before you put it in the pan. Do that and you'll never have to worry about splatter.
>>
>>7878033
>but I'm afraid the lid would keep water in
You would be correct.

The way to deal with oil jumping out of the pan is to lay things in the pan away from you so the oil doesn't splash on you, and then clean your fucking kitchen when you're done cooking.
>>
>>7878042
>>7878043

On another note, are there any other episodes where Gordon tackles French restaurants? Of course, the French version of the show with Phillipe Etchebest doesn't count.
>>
>>7878113
It doesn't count even for us French. Only Ramsay is good. That bald bastard ain't shit.
>>
>>7878204
Oh, I'm French, and absolutely agree. Cool bike though.
>>
>>7878204
>>7878218
What's wrong with him?
I only saw one episode, his food seems decent.
>>
>>7878386
He's a copycat. Instead of trying to be original, he's copying Ramsay and Kitchen Nightmare's format instead of trying something original.
>>
>>7863953
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
>>
>>7877575
Their cakes were store brought from what I've heard
>>
>>7878386
He's not Ramsay. I could sugarcoat or nitpick, or make up stupid shit like >>7878396 with no notion of what a brand is. But his main fault really is that he's not Ramsay.
He has a different kind of talk too. While Ramsay is more about finding creative ways to call your mother a whore, Etchebest seems more like the kind to shouldertackle the lazy untalented hack out of you. It's a different style, that the network tried to make look similar. The end result is less over the top.

That's just talking about Etchebest as a show host however. As a chef, I have absolutely nothing against him, and would love to eat at his restaurant.
