In the real world, if anyone talked to other people the way that man does, he would have the labour board all up in his ass, and probably sued for everything under the sun. He really is a massive dick head. It's a wonder people actually stay on the show... it's a lot of verbal abuse and demoralizing to go through.

I realize it "makes good tv" but still.

If you watch the English version of Kitchen Nightmares, then watch the US version of the same show, its bloody obvious that he has been instructed by the US show makers to go off about absolutely everything. Sure he's a harsh person, but its obvious that in the misguided need for "a better show", he has been instructed to inflate it.

the formula of putting sub par contests in pressure situations so they'll screw up and he can scream at them is getting old.

it was pretty olld from the start. Compare and contrast UK Kitchen Nightmares vs US Kitchen Nightmares, completely different and the UK one isn't cringe-inducing to watch.

That's why you have to be an awesome cook

Seriously, this show is like the abused redheaded stepchild version of Top Chef.

My buddy went to culinary arts school in Florence, and he said the resto he worked at for his placement was just as intense, if not even more so. He said the head chefs would dump whole plates on the floor if they were overcooked, then he'd have to clean it up AND make a new plate.

He said Chef Ramsey isn't far from reality at some very high class restos.

You've never worked in a kitchen, professionally (or if you have, you're lucky). Not that there aren't chefs who aren't bat-shit crazy, but when you get sanity plus competence, the restaurant usually has a line of cooks waiting to get in because the turn-over's exceedingly low. I worked under one guy who was regularly sued because he'd punch cooks out. He jacked up (putting a closed fist underneath his chin and slowly lifting him off the ground up against a wall) a sous chef one night while I was working.
