    Interesting, although it became slightly too gruesome for me when they started tearing them apart.

    I would push him at least.
    Not if you cared about being on the show.

    I think it's "genuine" in the sense that he believes it's a legitimately effective tactic to weed out the weak - he thinks that anyone who can't take that from their boss and work effectively under that kind of strain isn't disciplined or tough enough to work for him. Seems like a legit tactic to me, given the man's success. He's not like that as a person overall of course. He is incredibly kind at the end of the day, judging from many of his shows. He seems to have a real way with people. I'm a big fan of Gordon Ramsay - I love all his shows. Very entertaining. Though I do actually like MasterChef Canada and MasterChef Australia more than I do the American version, even though I like their host.... Canada and Australia just have way better, more skilled, more likeable contestants overall for some reason. And the rules for the Australian one are WAY better than in the US and Canada. It's way more complicated and intricate and varied on the Australian show, and more challenging too.
    I would rather have the boss yell and I can yell right back rather than have some cochroach sneaking around with a fake smile and fake words.

    Word. Although don't yell back at Gordon Ramsay unless you're yelling "yes Chef!" You'll get fired. :lol:

    I liked that video because it really shows that Ramsey is a great guy.  I agree the Puffin thing was gruesome ... but that eating puffin is very much part of Icelands culture I would assume.  I guess its no different than inuits who eat seal, part of their culture.  But its such such a cute bird.

    True. It's not like he screams at people when they're not doing anything wrong, just for the hell of it.

    Nah, he's awesome. He doesn't need a Valium. He does what works (and he's usually super nice).

  • When we ate at his restaurant in Vegas (Steak Paris, May 2017)... he was there.

    His table was right beside our table. He stopped at our table and asked how we were. Chatted for a bit and then sat down.

    A big line of people formed to get a picture with him. He got up... obliged everyone... and then sat back down with his family and ate.

    No one cares about your celebrity mingling... I kid.  That was a great storey.  Cool that he stopped and asked how the food was.  You should of said "I've had better", just to see his reaction...
