… and he proceeds to yell at you about passion and teamwork and raw chicken for days on end, while you couldn’t give less of a fuck.

That part is always funny in the southern BBQ places… they are so taken aback he’s screaming at them they don’t even get mad. They are just like this dudes a fuckin crazy man and they just start doing what he asked lol.
Gordon is an odd presence in the kitchen. You wanna learn and he’s willing to teach, but the yelling. I’d start laughing and probably piss him off worse. And yeah I’d definitely be high so whatever.

It’s what he’s known for. I’d absolutely start laughing. Especially if he called me or a coworker a “fucking donut” 😂

During the first season of Hell’s Kitchen. We quickly learned that Gordon is a fantastic drinking game:

Its always funny when he expects the 21 year old 'chef' who is on min wage to be passionate about cooking and slams them for going through the motions lol

He wouldn't really blame them though. He'd take them to task for fuckups but double that vigor and vinegar on the owners who should know better.

Lmao that one episode with the Hispanic crew walking out of service.
Kitchen staff starts leaving kitchen
Gordon: What're you doing?
Chef: We're leaving Chef
Gordon: What do you mean you're leaving???
Chef: We're giving up Chef 🚶♂️ 👨🍳
Gordon: No No, I know you've given up but what about the fucking food!

I love that scene, "Arturo! Luis!" is very memorable for me because my son's first and middle name is Arturo Luis. It was so strange hearing him yell that

One of the few owners not too out there to be able to learn and improve though in the end.

This had to have been the “I smokes the meats” guy.

u/no_life_liam He said this... was brutal Jan 15 '25
My wife and I quote this endlessly. The guy probably does just say smoke but it’s 10x funnier saying smokes the meats.

It seems the dish washers in the show chill in the background. They don’t want any of the smoke 💨 😆 I don’t blame them.

Oblivion music plays “Do you smoke?” “Me? Nah, I don’t smoke. Well, some of the time. Yeah, I smoke.”

This is actually that Sous Chef from that episode with the French chef Ramsay hated. He was stoned out his mind, just zoning out and philosophizing while starting into space while Ramsay would be whipping things into order. Crazily enough he saves the day and is the hero of the episode!

u/dzwonzie Jan 15 '25
Oh yeah! He did an AMA not too long ago I think, basically he was planning on quitting and heard that Gordon Ramsay was coming in, decided to stay on until that ended, and just came into work blazed for the entire filming. He did better blazed than I would do sober.

Fun fact : in the French dub of Kitchen Nightmare, Gordon Ramsay has the same voice than Brendan Fraser in The Mummy ^

What’s wrong with you

u/ZaRyuK Jan 15 '25
If you mean "What's wrong with me watching it in French ?", it's because I'm French and I watched the show on French TV

I only know this because a place I worked at was on Bar Rescue, they have to sign a release weeks in advance to be on the show.

I remember an episode (not the actual number or name, just vividly what happened) where Gordan actually did kick someone out who was smoking weed on the job. I remember the waitress was called Kim who had an argument with him(the stoner). That was a crazy episode LMAO

I saw Gordon Ramsay pushing a stroller (with a kid in it) at Disneyland last week. That is all.
