Kick back and relax, is what I’d say. If you’re minimum wage, it’s not your problem.
Exactly. What are they going to, fire me from a min wage kitchen job? There are six restaurants in a 3 square block radius that will put me on the next shift.
Or look at the bright side. The biggest asshole you’ll probably ever meet just walked into your kitchen, and the only thing you have to lose is a minimum wage job.
He’s actually cool to the workers. He goes after the upper level people who are paid to know better.
He’s actually super nice in person, only plays a character of an asshole for the show, when the camera is rolling.
Even on his shows he’s rarely ever mean to the staff, he’s more focused on the owners.
Is he in character when he’s putting people’s lives at risk drunk driving? Asking for a friend
actually though the kitchen nightmares YouTube account admin is so damn funny
it looks normal at first
but then you go to the video tab and
like they gave this girl like FULL creative control of the official channel
he got an Oscar IRL then she did a whole damn saga about it
this one is BY FAR my favorite though
There are some social media managers that deserve to be recognised for their work.
If I had to guess I’d wager it’s one of his children.
1 x 1998 2 x 1999 1x 2001
(and younger ones but like not old enough to manage yt)
Yahoo Entertainment says one of the 1999 fraternal twins is a somewhat established Youtuber apparently, so I assume it’s her.
I’ve been subscribed to kitchen nightmares for years, it has to be the funniest descent into complete meme madness that I’ve ever seen. It was once normal.
gordon can’t reheat his nachos because he is the nachos

Reminds me of the funny guy running the Wendy’s account on the bird site. Best PR move ever, tbh.
Agreed, it was good back in 2017. For me the effect wore off after a few months when the gimmick boiled down to “Wow the brand is being so savage 😂😂”
Regular staff
The owner
You’re right. He doesn’t tend to kick the little people, unless they’re nicking stuff. I still remember that episode with those two owners (Amy and Samy) at Amy’s Baking Company. They were just such completely unrepentant, terrible people. Apparently they shut the place in 2015 and left the country lol
That was a wild episode. Did you know after that first episode business was booming for a while? People went out of their way to try to see their rudeness. But I guess the food overall didn’t make it worth it.
by stuff, do you mean food? because if they’re stealing food that’s still a “the owners suck” thing
Not that I would work at a kitchen as bad as the ones on TV but having worked in restaurants, I’m surprised these kitchen nightmare type shows don’t have the host get punched by the staff periodically. Line cooks can be salty.
I wasn’t a regular viewer but I remember some kitchen reality show where you had to beat everyone else in cooking competitions and the prize was you’d work for Gordon. At some point, one of the contestants had enough of Gordon’s patronizing bullshit and challenged him to a fight and Gordon looked at him like he was a stupid child. But Gordon knows what’s up. If you act like an asshole for long enough in a Kitchen, someone will fuck you up.
It happens, my guilty pleasure is Kitchen Nightmares and related shows. Gordon and or his camera crew have been assaulted twice from memory. They get broken up crazy fast though. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are more that don’t make it to camera. They are trying to tell a different story in each episode, so I am sure a brawl kind of derails that story telling.
I don’t watch Kitchen Nightmares but I’m in the room from time to time when my dad watches Bar Rescue and and his whole schtick just comes across as really punchable
There’s a bar near me that was featured on that show.
Still sucks.
I think part of the problem with this style of show is that they’ll write a new menus or drink specials that doesn’t lean into the strengths (if any) of the staff or take into account what people in the local area like to eat/drink. They just do stuff that’s interesting for TV. Plus sometimes the work culture is the real culprit and you can almost never change that without mass firings and if the owners the problem…
I can’t stand Bar Rescue, Taffer really does have the most punchable face, it’s like on par with Penn from Penn and Teller.
What movie is this? Willem Defoe seems to sign up for movies where he is filmed in extremely close shot.
He does have a perfect face for that. Lots of “texture” with wrinkles and all that, but still good looking imo (and expressive)
It’s from The Card Counter.
There’s a reasonably decent but not well known Australian film with Dafoe in it called The Hunter
You’re not cooked, you’re undercooked!
THIS CHICKEN IS RAW. IT’S FUCKING DISGUSTING!
Insert more things Gordon Ramsay would say
WHERE’S THE BLOODY LAMB SAUCE‽‽‽
In this case, my minimum-wageiness trumps Mr. Ramsay’s celebrity and inappropriate attitude.
Or put another way,
Sir, this is a Wendy’s
That’s the moment you quit, or breakdown and tell Gordon the truth then sit back and see him tear the owner apart.
watching the show, the “just work here” defence works nearly every time tbh. Unless you’re the cause of the problem or haven’t done anything to try to help Gordon is pretty forgiving.
In defence it’s important to attack first once you know violence is the only option.
“What is this atrocity?! This tastes like my grandma’s ash, ya donkey !”
How do You know what Your grandmas ash tastes like?
Ask Gordon Rameses…
I’ve been told that’s the majority of all kitchen employees. You can’t work at a kitchen and not be on something, allegedly.
Or not give a shit…
When was the last time you’ve seen Ramsey yell at someone? Is this meme ever going to die?
I’ve never even seen him. I’ve only ever seen his image on pre-recorded broadcasts from the past.
