Kitchen Nightmares is SUPER formulaic but I dunno that a lot of it is actually staged. Not hard to find a restaurant opened by people with 0 industry experience who can't cook or operate a professional kitchen but think their poo poo is fantastic because their homie said so once.

Also the owner/chef/manager is an alcoholic is a really common and true to life plot point.

The restaurant industry is as hosed as they come there would be no reason to stage anything people who work in service are intrinsically broken and unhinged in a way that makes reality tv execs eyes light up

I just wish they would focus on the lovely food and not the family drama. Call me an rear end in a top hat, but I don't care that your family has no money and you're getting divorced and your children hate you. I want to see Ramsay trash your food for half an hour, then show you how to actually cook for the other half an hour.

If I rmb correctly he's actually a legit chill dude and has other shows outside of the country where he just cooks and talks and stuff. I think they did an interview where he said they told him to really play up the angry British chef gimmick.

He does get legit mad at work but he always pushes himself twice as hard and is insanely nice by all accounts otherwise

The number of restaurants he runs is still less boastful than Michelin stars or how many zeros in his bank account. It does appear he makes a conscious effort not to do that.

I thought that was a really good mix of employee drama and actual food related stuff

I made Ramsay scrambled eggs for the first time last week and man, it's awesome. I didn't quite get the consistency the same, but it tasted great. I also love the idea of just cooking up some shrooms w/ salt and pepper. Never thought of it, but I think I like that more than the eggs.

Maybe my family just ate lots of mushrooms, but when I cook a steak or a big breakfast, I always do a side of sauteed mushrooms. It's really top notch if you can find some morel mushrooms, but I haven't seen those at the grocery in ages. My dad and I used to "hunt" for them in the woods when I was a kid, and we'd slice them, dip them in for and fry them in butter. Good eats!

Roylicious posted:I love that too. Ahh yes those regulars that aren't keeping you out of bankruptcy. Better cater to them instead of trying to bring fresh people in. One of my favourite moments was I believe in the first season where they had three owners and it was clear they were just investors that were running it (into the ground) as a hobby. When Gordon ripped into them about selling Canadian lobsters as Maine Lobsters one of them went into ultra  mode and told him they're the same species and they can breed and everything. He even told it to the camera again about how wrong Gordon was.I just wish someone had asked him what he thinks about dog breeds and if you can sell a toy poodle as an Irish Wolfhound. Or just punched that guy in the face over and over. Either would have made me happy.

The worst part about the ABC episode is how the husband was stealing employee tips. I'm surprised that nobody burned that place to the ground.
