Who knew actually paying staff and buying products within their use by dates costs more money than they were charging to get customers in for nothing. ;)
Because ultimately the only thing wrong with these restaurants is the fact that they were being run by idiots. You can convince an idiot to to do a smart thing, but you can't fix stupid.
I think it's more that new habits are hard to keep and old ones die hard. If the owners and workers were in the poor state at the beginning, it will take a lot more than just a week and a clean up job to get them to stick to the new habits
Gordon is in fact a nice and kind person. He just doesn't care to beat around the bush, and calls out BS when he sees it. Doesn't hold them to his own high standards, but won't stand sloppy work and cheating the customer.
Only sloppy and lazy people would call him "bully", 'cause they don't get it.
Everybody should be like Ramsay way more and call out bullshit and stupid in the moment they see it, otherwise people don't realise they're stupid.
It's like educating a puppy, teach him directly or he'll forget.
Indeed! And the part that frustrates Gordon the most is the fact that all these people call themselves "chefs". Which should mean they already know what the F they're doing. Instead, he has to teach them basic things..
Hahaha reminds me of Beckhams son, calls himself chef, makes a youtube video and cooks some hard pasta with a premade barilla sauce but adding a bit of cream and raping some Parmesan on top
So if your boss invited him to fix his business and you wouldn't mind being humiliated on tv for the entertainment of dickheads? Obviously they would censor the part with your tongue up his arse.
First of all, I'm not a nitwit who would run my boss's business into the ground. Second, I also choose bosses to avoid the incompetent ones. Third, I would never make idiotic mistakes like those morons that earn Gordon's shouting. And last, I'd be grateful for his tutoring.
The part of reality where one has 25 years of professional experience, skills, knowledge, and always looks to learn more and improve. That's the essential part - never just assume that what you know or can do is the best anyone can be. That's also a common pattern in Kitchen Nigntmares / HK.
Well, not always. For instance, the Czech version of the show helped to bring awareness to the biggest flaws of restaurant business, which led to many improvements of the restaurant culture in general. The individual establishments might have closed, but the general impact was positive
It is one of those, "PULL UP! PULL UP!" Situations.
Too late to save the business, but I do think that a show about effective small business management probably helped many people who watched it be better business owners and better consumers.
Yea most of them were heavily in debt before the show came along and the show did boost their sales for a while, but if they can't keep up the standards and hype, they lose it fast.
Well most business close within the first 5 years, The restaurants even follow this sort of 65-80% stat. The real question is if the shows giving them good PR or not.

Ramsey is the restaurant storm crow

Deal with it.

He played it up for Hell's Kitchen competition show. But the original show saving a business is completely different in the UK edit.
The UK edition is the superior version
It's a totally different vibe
After a few weeks. The restaurant goes back to its former ways. And when they do it's over.
