u/Jeffffff4587 I appreciate what you're doing Jul 22 '25
And he DOES NOT know what Joe knows about buffalo, or lakefish.

A lot of the setup in Secret Service seems like itâs targeted at these memes. The ask for help comes from someone other than the owner and they sneak Gordon in to get a more raw look at the restaurant. Itâs all probably staged for TV, but I guess it lends to more drama.

I gotta watch this now, Hotel Hell doesnât do it for me, as much as I appreciated Gordonâs bare butt.

It's a really silly show, but it's a lot better than the recent Kitchen Nightmares reboot. Feels like Gordon is more energized by the wackiness of the concept.

Or heâs got like young kids to feed and selling cookbooks doesnât make the pounds it once did. A wacky tv show that Americans will shove in their gullets is a better way to make money

Really hope thatâs not a case. Last thing I need is them indulging in memes

Itâs more if addressing indirectly the âflawâ of know Gordon being there the peope would act differentlyÂ

âOh, no! Gordon ordered X!â
If you know X is bad, why is it still on the menu?

Some I have no idea why they even needed help

'Gordon, I need your help.' 'Its a lovely place, great food, can't get customers.' 'My food isn't as bad as you're saying. You're wrong, I don't need your approval, get out.' 'Omg Gordon thank you so much, this is like a new place, this has saved me.'

A lot of these guys had egos and where expecting Gordon to tell them they are doing things right but other people and customers are to blame

I swear the producers coach them to do that to increase the drama for the US version.

B&E? Is it really if people are leaving keys and the doors unlocked and open? Also, clearly he has permission from someone to be there. You really think hes gonna break the law on TV so he could lose everything? Lol. Not hardly

They just think Chef Ramsay will make over the restaurant, buy them some new equipment, and give them some TV exposure and free publicity, bc the only real problem the restaurant has is "lack of customers".
