any famous show will be on youtube. Though some of them will have copyright "issues" and people will lose the episodes overtime. They really shouldn't be uploading certain things though, you gotta respect the owner and support the official release.

I’m on a binge right now. It’s just so entertaining.

It's not that he didn't change, it's that he stagnated. Some of the stuff they served would not be considered "good" during any time period.

Here's one neither of you though of, 10% In the survey though that shit was good, statistically some will, however you can't run a business that serves floor 10% like, maybe the food critic in '81 was mental??, or maybe his food went down hill? Or maybe it didn't keep up?

He just got old grump and didn’t care anymore, easily done if your fed up with life or depressed

Amen Preach

Publicity.

Exactly. I’ve worked many years as a waiter. Most times we don’t pass on the complaints because chefs are usually psychos. Other times the blame will be on the waiters. Other times the blame will be on the customers. So we just don’t say anything. So in reality the only ones who actually know the issues are the waiters.

Owners who don't know what's wrong with their restaurant aren't the type to ask.

so true! i’ve worked as a server and the last place i worked at had no formal chef, just one girl who had to prepare all the food, do all the dishes, and deliver it to the tables. it was horrible!! if she got a large order, the kitchen would be backed up, and tables would sometimes wait an hour for just a dessert. but i would have never said anything to the owner, because i didn’t want to be disrespectful. restaurants should really do anonymous surveys for servers to speak on these problems freely.

yeah i doubt most servers will tell you the truth, i mean its not like its their job to sell the food, most wouldnt talk bad about the place they work at

Yea

That turned right back

Oh man, such underrated comment. 😅

As a Chef, you've gotta have a developed palette... I just didn't expect you to need THAT developed of a palette O_O

I like it when it happens to the horri le restaurant owners but this man was just stubborn, feels kinda cruel

😂yeah makes sense. She was the one taking the brunt of the complaints. Must have been frustrating to take all that knowing that things would never change. She seemed excited because change was suddenly possible, I think.

I agree Pete may have been stubborn, but you can tell that he does genuinely care about the restaurant and is very passionate about what he does.

He should cry! He was so arrogant and stubborn right till his poor wife and son said they would leave! So for 30yrs he enjoyed himself and ran that place into the ground, ignoring how terrified his wife was that they could lose the house, everything, never mind how his own son, with his son was worrying! Ridiculous little man!

That’s kinda just the Gordon Ramsay ‘brand’ and to make the show better. You can’t talk to people like that in real life. Criticism is important to help people recognize things and get better, but there’s clearly a lot of embellishment and added drama when it comes to his shows.

They were more competent than most of the owners you see on this show.

Owner seemed a little arrogant, glad to hear that matters have improved since Ramsey's reality check, though.

The judge:🥺

Right? From the introduction alone you could see that Pete wasn't the villain, but just a bit too in love with his own cooking.

@boneshakerbaby - agree 100%. I like that at the end, it was all done with respect on both sides, as Gordon wasn't as brutal as he sometimes is. Just a proof, if you are honest with him, and want to improve - he will actually help you and give an advice. And he will appreciate the honesty (as most people should/would). If you bullshit him... yeah, this is not gonna fly at all :) But it is not this particular "kichen" fault as such. Basically the main guy doesn't have enough experience. He has a lot experience in his place, and he is confident that he is doing OK. But he has nothing to compare that too. Doing something for 37 years, and not adapting, not moving forward, not being flexible, being too confident - nah, this is not gonna fly. Also missing the experience with being a chef in several+ other restaurants, other places, or even ohter countries. Just a simple life experience of working in multiple places (regarding your profession). Even somebody like me, would know (not connected with food industry in anyway). But it I was a chef in such place, I would be curious. I would pick the top 20 places in Denver, with different food choices. And simply go there, even once every 2-3 years, as a chef, and just eat. Nothing more. Just taste the food, taste what other people are doing, compare that to food that I'm cooking, and be honest with myself. The lack of comparison to other "products"/restaurants on the market, and dated confidence was his main issue. Note: and his wife is also a proof of his mentality: "...I've been your partner, you haven't always been mine". Such a simple statement, but also powerfull.

True

Yep.

Gordon Ramsay is one of the only few really big tv personality to actually work his way to the top and that is because his main focus was well… actually working aka cooking.

@@pearline4684 i think you will find most British TV cooks and chefs worked their way to the top as you put it. Nearly all of them trained and became professional chefs/cooks before fame. Nigella Lawson was famous because of her politician dad (who used to do what Rishi Sunak does now). Even Jamie Oliver was discovered when he was working in a restaurant and in a documentary about a restaurant he was working at he talked about things as part of the documentary.

@@cliffhulcoopofficial8075 -- Jamie Oliver was picked for his youth and his looks, not because he was a skilled cook who 'worked his way to the top'. His food has always been pretty fucking awful and he's never actually run a successful restaurant. He got investment funding to start a chain, but it was never profitable. Nigella was actually more famous because of her husband, John Diamond, than because of her dad. It was that documentary about her caring for him and his family while he was dying of cancer that really put her on the map. But Nigella's family used to own Lyons (big historical food business in the UK) so she does have a family tradition there. As with Jamie, her looks were the real selling point.

*I disagree with you*

It probably tasted like one too.

😂 yeah, what a burn

Me too.

i agree

One of the few where all the staff is great and there isn't a disgusting kitchen situation with roaches and mold. Just canned clams. They made most stuff fresh, they just did it poorly. Thick pizzas and overloaded cheese and toppings means undercooked dough and lost profits.

When your passion becomes your job and money-making scheme, the best you can do is think about the process. The outcomes necessarily follow. Every dish is an opportunity to lift someone off his own hardships and that's something professionals seem to neglect over the years.
