  We don’t get mad at him bc he does not mess with the hourly staff. He goes head to head with the owner. He always makes it clear the servers are not the problem and it’s super kind and listens to them. Very good strategy. He is also kind to kids. It’s like power pyramid. You don’t mess with the ones at the bottom

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

  Honestly, if you watch the show knowing it's TV and not a documentary, then you should be fine. It's hard to completely fake someone being a narcissist, and when Gordon yells, he yells about cross-contamination in the kitchen, abusive employers, raw food that can potentially kill customers, and bad working/kitchen conditions. The problem is always the boss, I don't think I've ever seen him yell at waiters or other general staff. Yeah, there's TV magic, yeah, maybe some of the food might have not been that bland and disgusting; but at the end of the day, when an owner is blatantly being an abusive asshole, it's really hard to fake that

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

  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.

  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&apos;m haunted by the wine drunk woman in a Mediterranean restaurant eating her food when she says <br>&quot;That&apos;s a good Mufasa.&quot;<br>She was supposed to be eating Moussaka obviously. To this day I&apos;m not sure if she was asked to comment on a food she&apos;s never heard before because the show made a big deal of Gordon&apos;s recipe for it, or if she genuinely thought she sounded like she knew what she was saying.

  Gordon taps into the same feeling that House MD does. &quot;This guy&apos;s an asshole, but he can back it up well. I&apos;d rather have an asshole whose good at what he does than a polite yes-man who doesn&apos;t know what he&apos;s talking about!&quot;<br><br>It&apos;s true to an extent, but you DO have to look past this a bit and realize that they are in fact being bad people. A lot of people don&apos;t understand this, and those are the people who are being conned.

  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
