Southern pride is something unique in the US. Southerners are taught from a young age to be proud of their upbringing and all that, and things like the Civil War only entrenched this idea. There's no shortage of shame in the US for being a southerner (how often do you see redneck stereotypes?), so the reaction is to double down.

New Yorkers and Californians are other examples of people that like to never shut up about where they're from.  It's more pointed than the people that just kind of lump in with "the south" but it's still obnoxious as hell.

Americans who build their identity around where they're from are typically either from "The South" or from "New York" (read: New York City). Those types of people are equally terrible for different reasons. People who don't build their identity around where they're from don't care where those people are from, either. raditts fucked around with this message at 13:40 on Apr 18, 2014 |

What Raditts said, and I don't think anybody wants to deal with an emotionally-stunted basketcase in their 40's who says that all they want to do is go home and cry to their momma. Anyway, Southern cuisine doesn't carry the same stigma as, say, English cuisine: food so bad that even Ramsay himself campaigned to change the world's perception of it. The food is usually the first thing people compliment about the South (which isn't often). So for Beth to say that she's not being taken seriously as a chef because she's a Southern woman is ridiculous. Besides, it certainly doesn't seem to have been a problem for fellow Southern girl Kashia. Courtesy of the op, it turns out that Beth's hometown is about a 15 minute drive from where I live. I'm unsurprised by this.

I grew up 20 minutes outside NYC in the suburbs of New Jersey, and I don't have hometown pride per se, but it was pretty much one of the coolest places any kid could grow up, I'll say that much. That and I miss it sometimes. Being in NC still doesn't feel quite right, and I've been here eight, almost nine years now.

One difference I always notice between KN and Restaurant Impossible - they always claim word has spread about Ramsay being in town, which causes the people to flock to the restaurant for a disastrous service, yet on RI they simply admit that Robert's brought the people in.

Is this a two-parter? Seems like they spent an awful lot of time on the junk aspect. Edit: Apparently not. I know this show stopped being about the food a long time ago, but drat, you'd think with such a wacky menu they'd spend at least a couple minutes highlighting a decent dish or two to replace it.

Honestly, if Ramsay came here to renovate a restaurant, I would at least consider going there and eating a presumably lovely meal for the chance to see him. The relaunch dinner was really brief for this one, but apparently she didn't implode, so I don't know why you'd have to show a long service if everything went fine.

It's not that I want to see a long service, so much as have some emphasis on the food itself beyond just putting all the plates out for them to sample, a segment that usually lasts 20 seconds itself. Nasty kitchens are the bones of the show, granted, but you see one, you've seen most. Show them how to cook at least one dish at least. Another Greek place? I wish they'd do another Mexican or Japanese one.
