Gordon Ramsay - Chef ohne Gnade

I'm tired of reality TV, I'm tired of Emeril, give us reality in our reality TV. This show delivers. This is not a show about some chef in a sanitized kitchen studio making meals he has prepared and rehearsed 10 times prior to airing, this is about a man who loves food and wants to see good food on your plate. The drama from the series comes from the people whose restaurants are failing and Gordon's expertise in rectifying their calamities. He addresses this in a direct assault the failings of the business end and back kitchen. More often then not, you find the star in the kitchen with his hands up to elbow in work ensuring his plan comes through. I find his hands on approach refreshing and exciting.

If you enjoy food programming this is a must, if you enjoy reality TV and can appreciate dialog then it is required viewing.

A reality TV show which delivers and rewards the viewer.

It's entertaining but we shouldn't celebrate restaurants. Have you ever wondered why your cheese pancakes don't taste as good as the ones at Morrison's restaurants ? It's not your lack of skill. Chefs aren't qualified. The real reason is that restaurants are allowed to buy wholesale. They get the quality butter, quality flour and quality cheese that you are denied in regular supermarkets. Even at the supermarket next to that Morisson's restaurant. It's not even the quantity. "Wholesale." Unless you're registering a business in that grey island of Britain you can't buy quality ingredients. Same in Europe. The policy is concealed food rationing. The sunflower oil you get in supermarkets is water mainly, the butter is car tyre grease, and the yoghurt is God knows what. Your kid has to vomit every two weeks unless you give it up for adoption to a restaurant. The policy is repulsive and Europe-wide. Let's not celebrate restaurants. Once all restaurants shut down, the wholesalers will have no chance but to start selling to supermarkets. The good food isn't too expensive. Countries don't have enough good food.

Ramsay's kitchen nightmares is a British reality TV show that features chef Gordon Ramsay that attempts to save restaurants from going out of business because of poor teamwork, poor food quality, poor hygiene or Bad customer service. His rude personality is a laugh as he attempts to save the battling restaurants from closure. The show appears to be aimed at reality TV fans that may have an interest in food and beverage and the Hospitality Industry.

I think the show provides an interesting insight into what happens behind the scenes at restaurants including the stress on the staff and the common mistakes made by the kitchen staff particularly. I feel that the show expanded my knowledge by highlighting the importance of teamwork in a restaurant and what can happen if this is not done. Since a lot of the show is filmed during busy hours of the restaurant the viewer gets to see how the kitchen operates and how fast passed everything is.

We Lent about the importance of communication within the workplace in class and Ramsay's kitchen nightmares provided an educational link by showing students how any restaurant could be a disaster with out efficient communication. My conclusions of the show are very good. It's great to see a new type of TV chef that doesn't just stand in front of the camera cooking meals all the time. Gordon Ramsay has a very rude personality that is stereotypical or the "grumpy chef", but it makes for a very entertaining show.

Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares is without doubt the better of the Kitchen Nightmare versions. It is raw, and focused on the restaurants with of course drama thrown in. However it is not over the top like the US version of the show.

Gordon Ramsay is formidable as he works his way around from restaurant to restaurant trying to help owners get their struggling businesses back on their feet.

This is definitely a show I never tire of and can watch over and over. I am particularly fond of the first season and will on occasion check in to see what restaurants are still in existence from both versions of the show.

If you love Ramsay, love cooking and love drama. Then look no further.

I don't usually watch "reality" shows, because quite frankly, they are not real. I have enjoyed this one though, I'm sure there is some staged stuff in it, but it seems to be minimal. I work in the restaurant business myself, so I really appreciate all the things Gordon Ramsay is saying and trying to get these people to do. Once again, I could be completely wrong, but I get the impression that he really does want these places to succeed. Also, I even find myself rooting for these chefs and restaurants that he is working with, to succeed. Overall, a very good watch, I would say.
