Don't forget toothpick. Jaime in season 7 had a toothpick on her signature dish and Jessica in Season 12 had a lobster stuck in toothpick and made her lose "Cook For Your Life" challenge.
I always thought chefs brought their own ingredients for signature dishes but I think you're right that the production team just puts premade stuff to trip up the contestants. I think S15 Kevin specifically says something like "Yep, that'll do" during the cooking montage before the judging which sounds like he was indeed cutting corners by using premade food. Actually watched Masterchef Season 11 recently and one of the early boots there used premade food TWICE, but since it was only a minor component of the dish she subsituted with premade stuff she got a pass both times.
It's possible the contestants submit their signature dish recipes ahead of time so they can stock everyone's requested ingredients. IIRC this is what they did on Iron Chef - give the contestants several possibilities for secret ingredients, and have them submit ingredient lists for each.
In the end of the day, even when the signature dish is bad, Chef Ramsay doesn't care because he wants to see the improvement of the people who made the dish. Sometimes there are case when their signature dishes are bad like Danny and Latasha who grilled fruits each of their season but they become the winner. Or their signature dish are good but they don't make it too far like Tiffany from Season 3 was the first one who got eliminated.
The interesting thing about the last rule is that Ramsay initially followed his own rules in earlier seasons. Like in the first season, there were chefs who performed poorly, yet didn’t get nominated, and Ramsay didn’t override the nominees or asked them to step forward. He just simply regard them as safe. Definitely he was sick and tired of the teams playing favorites or not having a feasible consensus.
Dude was trying to make Chef Survivor at first but the thing about Survivor is, especially early on and unless you win out or mist tf out of everyone, you will get the most medium performers in the finals to choose from. That's the crux of Survivor- be big enough to win while small enough to reach the end. You don't want medium performers in the F2 of Hell's Kitchen or a way where that's even possible
If you haven’t already, I’d love to see a list of the ballsiest moves in HK that paid off. Things like Cody nominating himself just to get Marc out, or Dave risking permanent damage to his wrist in order to win the season.
season 1. I don't remember which chef it was, but during the finale, one of the chefs intentionally tried to trick the one on the pass. It paid off well enough that Ramsay decided to intentionally have this happen in every seaosn after. They couldn't win because they weren't one of the finalists, but it could have gotten them removed from the kitchen.
Mannn, Tenille, Giovanni, and Scott's confrontations to Gordon were soo memorable and Iconic. Especially Giovanni. Man was unfazed, when he was called dickface/donkey. And the iconic "this isn't personal, this is professional" line from Ramsay.
In Tennile's case, she was stress and having mental breakdown due to pressure. Chef Ramsay noticed that and he let her go out of her frustration even she was shaking the trays on the pantry. But, Tennile becomes better and even made it to Black Jacket and she made it to top 4. Season 6 has a lot of strong chefs even the top 2 were deeply injured but they made it without being eliminated at once.
@@margarethmichelina5146 I really thought, Tennile's going home at that time like I thought Ramsay would confiscate her jacket but thankfully, he didn't.
I actually don’t think Giovanni was that bad of a “talk back” tbh. He didn’t argue with Ramsey about what he’s to do or not do, he just didn’t like being called a “d***face”. Gio even says “yes” right before he says “but I’m not d***face chef”
As for #1, there are many times where the losing team put up candidates not because of goofups in service, but because they wanted to get rid of competent rivals. In #2 you also have the converse, where cooks try to get ahead of the rush by cooking things like pasta ahead of time. My own unwritten rule: Chef Ramsay will be featuring risotto, sole and Wellington a lot, so practice cooking these things till you can do it in your sleep. These are the dishes that seem to trip up the weaker cooks the most.
For #1, Ramsey sees through that shit a lot. People try to protect their friends who deserve to go home by nominating better chefs that they personally don't like, and it's backfired. I love every time Chef hears the nominations and tells the team they fucked up and picked wrong. Bonus points for when the team doesn't even come up with nominations, like they were asked one simple thing and didn't do it.
There was one time in Season 13, that Red Team was confused of whom they should be nominated. Chef Ramsay told them to deliberate again. Seriously, they have around, I don't know, 30 minutes to deliberate at the dorms yet they can't make a decision? I know it's hard to nominate your close friends but come on, this is a competition when everyone wants to eliminate each other.
Unless they're doing a themed night wellington, scallops, and risotto are usually the only items on the menu, they trip people up so much because it's just what the kitchen is almost always serving
I have my own unwritten rule too: WATCH THE DANG SHOW BEFORE APPLYING! We're at season...21?...And people still do the canned food deal and not really get that this isn't the place for farting around. You're gonna be making sophisticated food and you'll have to know more about beef than hamburgers and having grudges (why not use both terms, huh? :P The chefs are good at picking fights too). You'll pretty much be making wellingtons, scallops, and risotto on a daily basis. You need to learn how to make them before stepping foot into the competition - mentally and physically. And people are still expecting happy happy sunshine land when they walk in, and are practically begging for death when they are introduced to a punishment or Gordon yells at them. Folks, what part of "HELL'S Kitchen" don't you understand??
@@OverlordZeroULTIMAit’s crazy how just watching 4-5 seasons of the show can tell you pretty much 70% of what to expect when you’re competing it’s crazy that more contestants don’t get better as more and more seasons go on
Spot on on this bunch. I can add a few more: 1.Never cook not to order/give something extra that wasn't requested. Fine example for it is Josh from season 3. 2.Never think that you can "improve" a dish of chef Ramsay like the infamous Colleen from season 5. 3.Never talk when Ramsay calls out an order like Robert did in season 5. 4.Know the menu by heart or he would make you learn it. Like Petrozza and Jason from season 4. 5.Always do your best to use your brain in the kitchen. Otherwise you can burn chef Ramsay twice in the same night if you know what I mean. Or you can put the wrong spices in a dish like Colleen again.
@@FlynnMasters you forgot the unwritten rule of don't be a quiet mouse in service Also ramsay has a habit of disqualifying guys from my state outright probably because of Joseph
Sometines the talking back to chef rule is meant to be broken. Because Chef Ramsay does wants fight back when it comes to his head chef. Not to memtion, just saying yes chef and keeping your head down can make you look like you have given up. Scott and Tennile being examples of when to show fight back. Scott more so than Tennile due to his composure. Had they just said "Yes Chef" and just kept their heads down, I have no doubt they would have been eliminated that night.
I remember when one chef was called a name that made him remember a horrible time in his life (I forgot what it was, but it wasn't something like A-hole or anything). And when the service was over, he had a calm talk with Chef about it and got an apology for it, along with something along the lines of "thanks for telling me, I won't do that again". I was impressed with both sides, because while I think the contestant did break down, he was able to recover after service and had a polite conversation and explained why that name affected him the way it did. And I admit, it surprised me to see Gordon being sincere about realizing that mistake and not knowing. I'm realizing he's defintely trying to toughen you up and kinda showing "tough love", even though for someone emotionally broken like me...I wouldn't last with a simple yell either. I'm not a chef, much less like the word "cook" being used toward me (because I don't cook, I nuke), so will never be on a food show, haha. But HK or anything with Gordon would have to be a pass for emotional damage alone. I'd gladly eat at one of his restaraunts though! Even if you have to wait until after service to say that "I'm sorry, but what you said made me uncomfortable because it brought back an event from my childhood", you may want to speak up. I know you won't talk him out of calling you something that's more of a generic insult, but if someone calls you Bobby and you prefer Robert or the full name, it won't hurt to ask him after service to not call you that name. This may had been the case with that chef, I think he was called something like Robbie and it brought back an uncomfortable situation.
@@OverlordZeroULTIMA It was Robert, he was called Bobby, and it reminded him of his abusive father. In addition to Ramsay not being nearly so hostile as he comes across, in this case specifically, Ramsay ALSO had an abusive father if memory serves.
For #1 rule, even if you're the customers, don't approach the kitchen just because either the food is taking too long, the food is either raw or undercook or just try to get attention for camera time. Just talk it to the waiters or the Maitre'D. The only time a customer can be polite happened in Season 11 if I'm not wrong when she brought a chicken without the garnish and gave a polite and a good reason to Chef Ramsay.
I believe that was the only one, yes. And yeah, it was because the garnish was lagging / lacking. Both sides were dealing with that issue. Also, don't bring outside food into the dining area! Season 1 had the people order and bring in a pizza to eat while waiting. That was just wrong. And then they talked back to JP about it when he said that wasn't allowed.
@@OverlordZeroULTIMA I like when the guy mentioned he has doctorate in music and Jean-Philippe just said he has education, implying the man has degree but not educated
Paulie bringing up food that he knew wasn’t ready and then blaming everyone but himself and complaining about his team screwing him over before Chef Ramsey even checked it is the most Paulie thing ever.
4:11 Ramsay: And you start tasting stuff Benjamin: yes chef Benjamin: Tastes the risotto with the spoon and then puts the spoon in it Ramsay: So you have chosen death
Something to note is that these chefs are supposed to be professionals already looking for a jump in their career. It's not like MasterChef, where chefs can be amateurs and "dumb" mistakes may be understandable, there's no excuse with these guys
I remember that Mike from season 12 broke 2 unwritten rules in one challenge. He tried to serve Ramsay a completely canned signature dish. Then, after he wouldn't even taste it, Mike decided to try to talk back to Ramsay behind his back no less.
This is one of the things I love the most about HK as a contest. The decision is up to a judge, not up to the general public. I tent to dislike contests where the decision is up to the public because of how biassed troughards sob stories those shows tend to become.
To be fair, using canned or prepackaged ingredients doesn't always equate to being a poor chef, as proven by Rock in Season 3. Its how you improve yourself that matters. Also, I'd like to add one more unwritten rule. It doesn't come up often, but its still one you shouldn't break either on the show or in an actual restaurant: Don't cook food before it's been ordered. All that will do is waste food.
The first rule is a bit flexible, Tenille got into a very heated spat with Ramsay that turned into a huge turning point for her. I’m pretty sure Ramsay would’ve kicked her out of the competition if she didn’t fight back the way she did.
I remember that, when the one guy in s14 used Milly’ rice😂😂 I was thinking technically there wasn’t a rule against it but quickly learned that chef doesn’t like it
The kitchen etiquette rule isn’t even “unwritten” It’s LITERALLY what chefs are required to know before even stepping one foot into a kitchen! There’s an entire COURSE you need to pass that teaches how to keep the kitchen clean and healthy and SAFE before you can work in food service! Jesus Christ I had to take that course to work at a Dunkin’ Donuts, there is no reason these professional chefs don’t know this shit!
As far as canned food goes there are things that can not be made in short times or that are better from a can. Take for instance tomato paste. You can not make tomato paste in 45 minutes. Its a minimum of 3 hours to really get the water out. Jarred caviar exists but the tinned caviar is of better quality which is kind of odd as you often use bone or mop spoons to handle the caviar since metals can affect taste. If a chef needed to use olives jarred or canned is the only option as fresh olives arent very nice
Not that i eat caviar often, but the jar stuff is usually pretty bad, it is fish roe, but it's not Baleuga. It is funny that the tin is the good stuff, now that you mention it !
Another unwritten rule of signature dish is don’t bring a dessert. Ramsay has torn apart almost every dessert he’s been served in the Signature Dish challenge
For number 3, that isn't as much an unwritten rule of hell's kitchen as it is just a direct rule for any kitchen at all. Eating from a spoon then putting that spoon back into the food, or wiping your face with a rag then wiping out a pan with said rag, are both things that can get restaurants shut down. They are huge no-nos in ServSafe, and one of the very first things that any culinary student learns; professionalism
@@Scourge728 Usually - and this is completely my take - when he says, "Hey, [Chef's name], come here...," there's a 50/50 chance its for a compliment. But when he spits out "C'MERE YOU!" like you just peed on his shoes, that's always a bad sign. :-)
I’ve never seen that clip of Benjamin putting the spoon from his mouth straight back to the food. That’s actually insane and wonder how long he’s done that
While I understand eliminating chefs on the winning team due a poor performance like Carol:Sabotaged the dinner service Sal:String of bad performances Raj:Same as Sal Jeremy:Served a sample plate Joe:Didn’t do well service wise Gia:Poor attitude/service The 2 major ones I disagree with are Randy:Only had a miscount on the plates while Josh burned the red team’s supply of tuna Ben:I get due to health issues but come on, he didn’t have the worst service
While "no canned ingredients ever" might be a bit much, it makes sense that Chef Ramsay reacts so strongly to chefs using prepared food. What does it say about a chef if the best thing he has to serve is something someone else cooked?
@@getmeto50ksubsorelse46 Yeah but anyone can use those-you’re there to make an impression and no matter how good or bad canned food is opening a can doesn’t leave a good impression. Plus you can make just as delicious sauce with fresh tomatoes if you know what you’re doing.
@@pokemonmanic3595 that is ridiculous. Canning something is not inherently bad. Canned san Marzano tomatoes are not prepared for you, they’re just tomatoes in a can… There is literally nothing wrong with using them, fine dining restaurants do all the time.
@@Emperorhirohito19272 I never said canned food is bad: but on Hell’s Kitchen Chef Ramsay is looking for a person who can create dishes worthy of awarding a head chef spot, so in the specific context of signature dish it’s dumb to use canned food because it doesn’t tell Ramsay anything about you other than you take shortcuts.
@@pokemonmanic3595 it isn’t a shortcut… it’s just a container which can hold certain things. Is it a shortcut to use butter that comes in a packaging? Is it a shortcut to use olive oil that comes out of a bottle?
Another rule is *NO JOKING AROUND!* Sebastian from Season 11 should know. ;) His whole "Zachy Wacky" thing affected his chances of winning more than his lack of cooking ability from what I could tell. He couldn't make food from the get go (his signature dish??), and add the joking around while in service? He disabled himself. Worse than a shot in the foot from being unable to cook. Otherwise, Jeremy could've been booted from territorial attitude alone. But honestly, this is *HELL'S* Kitchen! If you want Heaven's Kitchen, you'll have to look elsewhere.
3:44 I am Italian I can assure you that being Italian doesn’t mean you always do fresh pasta Obviously for something like pizza and in restaurants people do fresh pasta (many people do it very often because we love it) However it’s just as common to use dried pasta among common people you can buy it everywhere do it “al dente” and it will be good enough for a solid home dinner. Even chef do use dried pasta sometimes in dishes not focused on pasta. It’s not like it’s always going to be fresh, although obviously that’s because Italian food has hundreds of dishes with pasta and if you go in any restaurant the most famous and simple pasta dishes will almost always have fresh pasta but the dried one can be a huge resource.
An addendum; it's also important to consider that there are many situations where dry pasta actually is a better choice to use than something freshly made. (As with most things, it's highly situation)
@@KidPrarchord95 of course dried pasta is different then fresh also because when you cook you don’t have the time to let your own fresh pasta dry, this means dried pasta sometimes is more fit. Also depending on what you’re cooking doing the pasta could be a waste of time you could use to do something else, for instance if you serve pasta with matriciana sauce to 8 hungry kids and yourself you’re a madman if you think you are going to do fresh pasta for everyone and you should just focus on the sauce and use dried pasta instead.
4:06 Actually, I've read many places that in the Hells Kitchen that appears on the show (not the regular, "open to the public" Hells Kitchen you can go to in Vegas I think), that the "customers" who apeear on the show do noy pay a dime, and actually sign a release saying that they may not even get the food they ordered before they have to leave.
"It's hard to be an artist if you are a mess" Artist: I haven't showered in three days, haven't eaten a bite and barely slept, am still in my PJs and my hair is a rats nest, but at least the work is done
here's also an unwritten rule: never, *ever* try to challenge Gordon Ramsay to a fist fight. the guy is a trained boxer, and has a black belt in karate. so, yeah; good luck with that. Joseph from season 7 is a prime example. probably the only one.
Uhh other unwritten rule is probably not to stuff your face with the food you cook. Aka: Raj who for some god forsaken reason thinks it's a good idea to chow down on all the food that they've failed to cook to chef Ramsay's standards. Pretty sure that was another strong reason why Gordon kicked him out.
I think the one thing I dislike the most is that Ramsay will literally get all up in your face and call you all sorts of names and shit, yet you get in trouble for saying anything back. Even telling him to calm down and relax is too far XD
@@pokemonmanic3595 No shit, but even if it's something simple and he gets up in your face, you say 'yes of course, but calm down man, it's not the end of the world' and suddenly all hell breaks loose and you'll be lucky to leave with your head still on your shoulders.
I remember one being eliminated despite being on the winning team. I think it was due to health concerns, but the show itself never directly says that during the elimination ceremony. (It might have been Ben in Season 17, I can't quite remember.)
Yup, Ben was eliminated despite attempting to soldier on through his diabetes. I guess Gordon figured the risk was too much, so he gave Ben an early exit. Shame 'cause he was one of my favourites in Season 5 when he first showed up, so seeing him again made me eager to keep track of him.
Speaking about rule number 3, Gordon Ramsay's teacher and mentor, Marco Pierre White, does exactly that, tastes food he prepares, sometimes several spoonfuls consecutively. There are several moments like these caught on camera, some even back in his Michelin-chef days.
3:42 "... about as insane as an Italian who doesn't make his own pasta." Actually, a lot of restaurants in Italy use dried/premade pasta as it's more convenient and better fitted to feed a large wave of customers. I remember seeing a docuseries by the actor Stanley Tucci where he went around Italy and it showed the chef in a restaurant he visited using dried pasta. So, though it is often displayed as traditional to make it from scratch in-house, it isn't that common. Then again, I'm not Italian (I'm British) nor do I know of having any Italian Heritage but this is what I remember; if anyone from Italy has more insight on this, feel free to let me know.
Flynnmasters should make content on Top Chef. Because it's kinda surprising that nobody really talks about it on UA-cam. I'm just saying though. But the Survivor and HK content is still really good.
I'd like to think that the chefs talk back to Gordon Ramsay because they are too prideful to listen to even the greatest chef in the world and do not want to admit when they are wrong
3:33 times it is acceptable to use canned items in fine dining with 45 minutes to cook, plate, and serve: -canned legumes like lentils or black eyed peas (normally you would have to soak them for hours and then cook them or they can make you very sick) -specialty items as a component of a dish (canned anchovies for caesar salad dressing, san Marzano tomatoes for pizza or pasta sauce, sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, olives, etc…) End of list

I'd say when Petrozza sent slightly overcooked steak to the pass and got returned so he just sliced the overcooked part and it was accepted
And also michael sending out risotto to make Ralph look bad
season 1. I don't remember which chef it was, but during the finale, one of the chefs intentionally tried to trick the one on the pass. It paid off well enough that Ramsay decided to intentionally have this happen in every seaosn after. They couldn't win because they weren't one of the finalists, but it could have gotten them removed from the kitchen.
@@Scourge728 That was Michael, and he actually did go on the win the season.
Mannn, Tenille, Giovanni, and Scott's confrontations to Gordon were soo memorable and Iconic. Especially Giovanni. Man was unfazed, when he was called dickface/donkey. And the iconic "this isn't personal, this is professional" line from Ramsay.
In Tennile's case, she was stress and having mental breakdown due to pressure. Chef Ramsay noticed that and he let her go out of her frustration even she was shaking the trays on the pantry. But, Tennile becomes better and even made it to Black Jacket and she made it to top 4. Season 6 has a lot of strong chefs even the top 2 were deeply injured but they made it without being eliminated at once.
@@margarethmichelina5146 I really thought, Tennile's going home at that time like I thought Ramsay would confiscate her jacket but thankfully, he didn't.
"You can dish it but you can't take it??" lives rent free in my mind. Tennile is an icon.
I actually don’t think Giovanni was that bad of a “talk back” tbh. He didn’t argue with Ramsey about what he’s to do or not do, he just didn’t like being called a “d***face”. Gio even says “yes” right before he says “but I’m not d***face chef”
Just don't disagree with Chef Ramsay, just carry out whatever he says
Robert(season 5) said it - "Dude he just wants you to pop off"
Nilka also said it: Just say yes chef, no chef, yes chef. Because he's only gonna stick his foot deeper in ya ass
As for #1, there are many times where the losing team put up candidates not because of goofups in service, but because they wanted to get rid of competent rivals.
In #2 you also have the converse, where cooks try to get ahead of the rush by cooking things like pasta ahead of time.
My own unwritten rule: Chef Ramsay will be featuring risotto, sole and Wellington a lot, so practice cooking these things till you can do it in your sleep. These are the dishes that seem to trip up the weaker cooks the most.
For #1, Ramsey sees through that shit a lot. People try to protect their friends who deserve to go home by nominating better chefs that they personally don't like, and it's backfired. I love every time Chef hears the nominations and tells the team they fucked up and picked wrong.
Bonus points for when the team doesn't even come up with nominations, like they were asked one simple thing and didn't do it.
There was one time in Season 13, that Red Team was confused of whom they should be nominated. Chef Ramsay told them to deliberate again. Seriously, they have around, I don't know, 30 minutes to deliberate at the dorms yet they can't make a decision? I know it's hard to nominate your close friends but come on, this is a competition when everyone wants to eliminate each other.
Unless they're doing a themed night wellington, scallops, and risotto are usually the only items on the menu, they trip people up so much because it's just what the kitchen is almost always serving
I have my own unwritten rule too: WATCH THE DANG SHOW BEFORE APPLYING!
We're at season...21?...And people still do the canned food deal and not really get that this isn't the place for farting around. You're gonna be making sophisticated food and you'll have to know more about beef than hamburgers and having grudges (why not use both terms, huh? :P The chefs are good at picking fights too). You'll pretty much be making wellingtons, scallops, and risotto on a daily basis. You need to learn how to make them before stepping foot into the competition - mentally and physically.
And people are still expecting happy happy sunshine land when they walk in, and are practically begging for death when they are introduced to a punishment or Gordon yells at them. Folks, what part of "HELL'S Kitchen" don't you understand??
@@OverlordZeroULTIMAit’s crazy how just watching 4-5 seasons of the show can tell you pretty much 70% of what to expect when you’re competing it’s crazy that more contestants don’t get better as more and more seasons go on
The Chef who went the furthest after presenting a dish with packaged or canned food was Rock, who finished as champion of his season.
And he was the first chef to served canned food....Maybe so many other chefs have continued to make this mistake in hopes they will also win??
Spot on on this bunch. I can add a few more: 1.Never cook not to order/give something extra that wasn't requested. Fine example for it is Josh from season 3. 2.Never think that you can "improve" a dish of chef Ramsay like the infamous Colleen from season 5. 3.Never talk when Ramsay calls out an order like Robert did in season 5. 4.Know the menu by heart or he would make you learn it. Like Petrozza and Jason from season 4. 5.Always do your best to use your brain in the kitchen. Otherwise you can burn chef Ramsay twice in the same night if you know what I mean. Or you can put the wrong spices in a dish like Colleen again.
Who else is just on a Hell’s kitchen related binge?
This is the channel for that!
@@FlynnMasters Good to know, I’ll have to watch more then!
@@FlynnMasters you forgot the unwritten rule of don't be a quiet mouse in service
Also ramsay has a habit of disqualifying guys from my state outright probably because of Joseph
@@FlynnMasters What's your thoughts on Top Chef and have a personal request if you Top Chef, Maybe you could do content on Top Chef.
sup
That perfectly cut yell at 5:00 made me explode🤣
"Eh"
Another rule, never serve dessert as the signature dish like Brian in season 10 did
Or that one guy in Season 13 did, I think his name was Aaron
Or the time where Amanda from Season 6 brought 2 French Toasts with Tequilla. Seriously a fucking French Toast for your signature dish?
@@margarethmichelina5146 I remember that, wasn't the brightest spark at times especially on the first service but she was a sweetheart
eh desserts as signature dishes have got good reviews from gordon in the past
@@teresawatson1038 only because Heather in season 2 made the only edible dish
Sometines the talking back to chef rule is meant to be broken. Because Chef Ramsay does wants fight back when it comes to his head chef. Not to memtion, just saying yes chef and keeping your head down can make you look like you have given up. Scott and Tennile being examples of when to show fight back.
Scott more so than Tennile due to his composure. Had they just said "Yes Chef" and just kept their heads down, I have no doubt they would have been eliminated that night.
I remember when one chef was called a name that made him remember a horrible time in his life (I forgot what it was, but it wasn't something like A-hole or anything). And when the service was over, he had a calm talk with Chef about it and got an apology for it, along with something along the lines of "thanks for telling me, I won't do that again". I was impressed with both sides, because while I think the contestant did break down, he was able to recover after service and had a polite conversation and explained why that name affected him the way it did. And I admit, it surprised me to see Gordon being sincere about realizing that mistake and not knowing. I'm realizing he's defintely trying to toughen you up and kinda showing "tough love", even though for someone emotionally broken like me...I wouldn't last with a simple yell either. I'm not a chef, much less like the word "cook" being used toward me (because I don't cook, I nuke), so will never be on a food show, haha. But HK or anything with Gordon would have to be a pass for emotional damage alone. I'd gladly eat at one of his restaraunts though!
Even if you have to wait until after service to say that "I'm sorry, but what you said made me uncomfortable because it brought back an event from my childhood", you may want to speak up. I know you won't talk him out of calling you something that's more of a generic insult, but if someone calls you Bobby and you prefer Robert or the full name, it won't hurt to ask him after service to not call you that name.
This may had been the case with that chef, I think he was called something like Robbie and it brought back an uncomfortable situation.
@@OverlordZeroULTIMA It was Robert, he was called Bobby, and it reminded him of his abusive father. In addition to Ramsay not being nearly so hostile as he comes across, in this case specifically, Ramsay ALSO had an abusive father if memory serves.
“Sure, a bunch of discord stats could say that this chef should stay over that chef, but that means nothing to Ramsay”
Couldn't help myself with that one lol
As someone in that specific Discord server…
…yeah honestly I have to agree with you there man.
you would think that in a cooking competition, you would need to make everything from scratch
Interesting seeing you here heh.
@@blankie1996 i love watching hk lol
For #1 rule, even if you're the customers, don't approach the kitchen just because either the food is taking too long, the food is either raw or undercook or just try to get attention for camera time. Just talk it to the waiters or the Maitre'D.
The only time a customer can be polite happened in Season 11 if I'm not wrong when she brought a chicken without the garnish and gave a polite and a good reason to Chef Ramsay.
I believe that was the only one, yes.
And yeah, it was because the garnish was lagging / lacking. Both sides were dealing with that issue.
Also, don't bring outside food into the dining area! Season 1 had the people order and bring in a pizza to eat while waiting. That was just wrong. And then they talked back to JP about it when he said that wasn't allowed.
@@OverlordZeroULTIMA I like when the guy mentioned he has doctorate in music and Jean-Philippe just said he has education, implying the man has degree but not educated
I think a season 2 customer chef interaction went well “I’ll be honest with you for the first time in my career I’m working with muppets”
Paulie bringing up food that he knew wasn’t ready and then blaming everyone but himself and complaining about his team screwing him over before Chef Ramsey even checked it is the most Paulie thing ever.
4:11
Ramsay: And you start tasting stuff
Benjamin: yes chef
Benjamin: Tastes the risotto with the spoon and then puts the spoon in it
Ramsay: So you have chosen death
Something to note is that these chefs are supposed to be professionals already looking for a jump in their career. It's not like MasterChef, where chefs can be amateurs and "dumb" mistakes may be understandable, there's no excuse with these guys
I remember that Mike from season 12 broke 2 unwritten rules in one challenge. He tried to serve Ramsay a completely canned signature dish. Then, after he wouldn't even taste it, Mike decided to try to talk back to Ramsay behind his back no less.
This is one of the things I love the most about HK as a contest. The decision is up to a judge, not up to the general public. I tent to dislike contests where the decision is up to the public because of how biassed troughards sob stories those shows tend to become.
To be fair, using canned or prepackaged ingredients doesn't always equate to being a poor chef, as proven by Rock in Season 3. Its how you improve yourself that matters.
Also, I'd like to add one more unwritten rule. It doesn't come up often, but its still one you shouldn't break either on the show or in an actual restaurant: Don't cook food before it's been ordered. All that will do is waste food.
Wasted food means no paid food. No paid food means loss. That's why one time Gordon made the chefs sort out wasted ingredients from previous night
Raj cooking 3 fish when they weren't even ordered lol
So don’t cook spaghetti on bulk?
@@zzskyninjazz1821 If it hasn't been ordered, then no/
Season 3's Josh is out there still cooking spaghetti before its even been ordered.
To expand on number 2, I think it's also good for people to not be dumb and send their dishes up overcooked or burnt.
The first rule is a bit flexible, Tenille got into a very heated spat with Ramsay that turned into a huge turning point for her. I’m pretty sure Ramsay would’ve kicked her out of the competition if she didn’t fight back the way she did.
The main unwritten rule is don’t let raj in the kitchen
He’s out of his league and is fucking nuts
You forgot one. On challenges, if you have to make an individual dish - DO NOT use something your teammate made.
I remember that, when the one guy in s14 used Milly’ rice😂😂 I was thinking technically there wasn’t a rule against it but quickly learned that chef doesn’t like it
JR was very lazy. He could have told Ramsay that he needs more time on the scallops
JR Just Ridiculous
Kitchen etiquette is actually a written rule in kitchens. It is called Food And Safety Guidelines.
The kitchen etiquette rule isn’t even “unwritten”
It’s LITERALLY what chefs are required to know before even stepping one foot into a kitchen! There’s an entire COURSE you need to pass that teaches how to keep the kitchen clean and healthy and SAFE before you can work in food service!
Jesus Christ I had to take that course to work at a Dunkin’ Donuts, there is no reason these professional chefs don’t know this shit!
As far as canned food goes there are things that can not be made in short times or that are better from a can. Take for instance tomato paste. You can not make tomato paste in 45 minutes. Its a minimum of 3 hours to really get the water out. Jarred caviar exists but the tinned caviar is of better quality which is kind of odd as you often use bone or mop spoons to handle the caviar since metals can affect taste. If a chef needed to use olives jarred or canned is the only option as fresh olives arent very nice
Not that i eat caviar often, but the jar stuff is usually pretty bad, it is fish roe, but it's not Baleuga. It is funny that the tin is the good stuff, now that you mention it !
I saw an interview about HK where Gordon talked about how he can tell Who is most likely to win HK by the signature dish challenge.
“you’re so full of shit even your eyes are brown” is genuinely one of the most violent things i’ve ever heard😭
One more I’ve noticed- ornamental garnishes. If something is on the plate it needs to be edible. I cringe every time I see someone do it.
4:59 Perfectly cut scream.
That shout cut at 5:00 is perfect
The more experienced you are, the more Gordon expects for you. That is a no-brainer.
The way Raj had to cut his sentence off you know he was the siblings that got all the whooping for talking back
Another unwritten rule of signature dish is don’t bring a dessert. Ramsay has torn apart almost every dessert he’s been served in the Signature Dish challenge
For number 3, that isn't as much an unwritten rule of hell's kitchen as it is just a direct rule for any kitchen at all. Eating from a spoon then putting that spoon back into the food, or wiping your face with a rag then wiping out a pan with said rag, are both things that can get restaurants shut down. They are huge no-nos in ServSafe, and one of the very first things that any culinary student learns; professionalism
When Ramsay says “C’MERE, YOU,” it’s not to tell you you’re doing a great job.
90% of the time. But every so often he intentionally compliments a chef after saying something like that just for the bait and switch.
@@Scourge728 Usually - and this is completely my take - when he says, "Hey, [Chef's name], come here...," there's a 50/50 chance its for a compliment. But when he spits out "C'MERE YOU!" like you just peed on his shoes, that's always a bad sign. :-)
And yet no one is talking about the fact that the winners don't get the position they're offered in the competition...
wut
Because they DO get the position 90% of the time. I believe the few times it didn't happen was because of failed drug tests or things like that.
I’ve never seen that clip of Benjamin putting the spoon from his mouth straight back to the food. That’s actually insane and wonder how long he’s done that
"Questioning Chef Ramsay usually never ends well" would be better sold NOT over a clip of someone giving Ramsay an earful and it ending in her benefit
While I understand eliminating chefs on the winning team due a poor performance like
Carol:Sabotaged the dinner service
Sal:String of bad performances
Raj:Same as Sal
Jeremy:Served a sample plate
Joe:Didn’t do well service wise
Gia:Poor attitude/service
The 2 major ones I disagree with are
Randy:Only had a miscount on the plates while Josh burned the red team’s supply of tuna
Ben:I get due to health issues but come on, he didn’t have the worst service
If Ben stayed I think Elise or Manda would of gotten the boot
@@darcyroberts8873 probably Manda would’ve gone since most the red team considered her to be weaker than Elise.
1:39 You cut the best part, when the Chef threw a spoon in anger. Still, nice video.
While "no canned ingredients ever" might be a bit much, it makes sense that Chef Ramsay reacts so strongly to chefs using prepared food. What does it say about a chef if the best thing he has to serve is something someone else cooked?
Wait aren’t canned San marzano tomatoes usually more desired than fresh one for how good they are in sauces?
@@getmeto50ksubsorelse46 Yeah but anyone can use those-you’re there to make an impression and no matter how good or bad canned food is opening a can doesn’t leave a good impression. Plus you can make just as delicious sauce with fresh tomatoes if you know what you’re doing.
@@pokemonmanic3595 that is ridiculous. Canning something is not inherently bad. Canned san Marzano tomatoes are not prepared for you, they’re just tomatoes in a can… There is literally nothing wrong with using them, fine dining restaurants do all the time.
@@Emperorhirohito19272 I never said canned food is bad: but on Hell’s Kitchen Chef Ramsay is looking for a person who can create dishes worthy of awarding a head chef spot, so in the specific context of signature dish it’s dumb to use canned food because it doesn’t tell Ramsay anything about you other than you take shortcuts.
@@pokemonmanic3595 it isn’t a shortcut… it’s just a container which can hold certain things. Is it a shortcut to use butter that comes in a packaging? Is it a shortcut to use olive oil that comes out of a bottle?
Another rule is *NO JOKING AROUND!*
Sebastian from Season 11 should know. ;) His whole "Zachy Wacky" thing affected his chances of winning more than his lack of cooking ability from what I could tell. He couldn't make food from the get go (his signature dish??), and add the joking around while in service? He disabled himself. Worse than a shot in the foot from being unable to cook. Otherwise, Jeremy could've been booted from territorial attitude alone.
But honestly, this is *HELL'S* Kitchen! If you want Heaven's Kitchen, you'll have to look elsewhere.
I always wondered why he doesn't have a competition for dishwashers, cause many of them are friggin' clueless.
"These guys save lives for a living, and you're about to fuck up their breakfast."
Anytime someone backtalks Chef Ramsay on any of his shows, all I can think is "Nice knowing you."
Season 12's Scott is the only one to have done that and survived, basically.
The unwritten rules can speak for themselves. They know who they are.
3:44
I am Italian I can assure you that being Italian doesn’t mean you always do fresh pasta
Obviously for something like pizza and in restaurants people do fresh pasta (many people do it very often because we love it)
However it’s just as common to use dried pasta among common people you can buy it everywhere do it “al dente” and it will be good enough for a solid home dinner.
Even chef do use dried pasta sometimes in dishes not focused on pasta. It’s not like it’s always going to be fresh, although obviously that’s because Italian food has hundreds of dishes with pasta and if you go in any restaurant the most famous and simple pasta dishes will almost always have fresh pasta but the dried one can be a huge resource.
An addendum; it's also important to consider that there are many situations where dry pasta actually is a better choice to use than something freshly made. (As with most things, it's highly situation)
@@KidPrarchord95 of course dried pasta is different then fresh also because when you cook you don’t have the time to let your own fresh pasta dry, this means dried pasta sometimes is more fit.
Also depending on what you’re cooking doing the pasta could be a waste of time you could use to do something else, for instance if you serve pasta with matriciana sauce to 8 hungry kids and yourself you’re a madman if you think you are going to do fresh pasta for everyone and you should just focus on the sauce and use dried pasta instead.
4:06 Actually, I've read many places that in the Hells Kitchen that appears on the show (not the regular, "open to the public" Hells Kitchen you can go to in Vegas I think), that the "customers" who apeear on the show do noy pay a dime, and actually sign a release saying that they may not even get the food they ordered before they have to leave.
Damn we avoided a demon coming out of gordon at 4:59
"Oh my goodness, Hair?" It was probably hers, she's got hair sticking out like a cactus.
I’ve never seen anyone wear hair nets on this show lol
"It's hard to be an artist if you are a mess"
Artist: I haven't showered in three days, haven't eaten a bite and barely slept, am still in my PJs and my hair is a rats nest, but at least the work is done
Raj is still looking for the door
here's also an unwritten rule: never, *ever* try to challenge Gordon Ramsay to a fist fight. the guy is a trained boxer, and has a black belt in karate. so, yeah; good luck with that. Joseph from season 7 is a prime example. probably the only one.
Matt from season 16 said he would beat Ramsay up if he saw him in the streets
Uhh other unwritten rule is probably not to stuff your face with the food you cook.
Aka: Raj who for some god forsaken reason thinks it's a good idea to chow down on all the food that they've failed to cook to chef Ramsay's standards.
Pretty sure that was another strong reason why Gordon kicked him out.
But that big boy gotta eat
I think the one thing I dislike the most is that Ramsay will literally get all up in your face and call you all sorts of names and shit, yet you get in trouble for saying anything back. Even telling him to calm down and relax is too far XD
If he’s in your face and calling you names it’s because you did something wrong. The correct response is “Yes chef” and you correcting said mistake.
@@pokemonmanic3595 No shit, but even if it's something simple and he gets up in your face, you say 'yes of course, but calm down man, it's not the end of the world' and suddenly all hell breaks loose and you'll be lucky to leave with your head still on your shoulders.
I love how the people serving premade stuff are always surprised that they are getting shouted at!
rule 1 : Chef is always right
rule 2 : if chef is wrong see rule one
Good one!!!
The only people I felt sorry for were from season 1 because they didn't know who they were dealing with.
I remember one being eliminated despite being on the winning team. I think it was due to health concerns, but the show itself never directly says that during the elimination ceremony. (It might have been Ben in Season 17, I can't quite remember.)
It was.
Yup, Ben was eliminated despite attempting to soldier on through his diabetes. I guess Gordon figured the risk was too much, so he gave Ben an early exit. Shame 'cause he was one of my favourites in Season 5 when he first showed up, so seeing him again made me eager to keep track of him.
Chef Ramsay : put the stick in your mouth
Contestant: yes chef
( single tear rolling down their cheek)
I have an idea for another topic: highlighting on chefs who were eliminated during dinner service
1:56 the sound effect when giovanni says that gets me every fucking time its so funny 😭😭
I like your explanation of the canned stuff as a red herring. Never thought of that before.
Speaking about rule number 3, Gordon Ramsay's teacher and mentor, Marco Pierre White, does exactly that, tastes food he prepares, sometimes several spoonfuls consecutively. There are several moments like these caught on camera, some even back in his Michelin-chef days.
You’re supposed to taste food. He’s talking about doing it unclearly, like with fingers or any other way.
the key word here is "spoonful"
Unwritten rule #6:
Only Chef gets to insult the fresh meat.
3:42 "... about as insane as an Italian who doesn't make his own pasta."
Actually, a lot of restaurants in Italy use dried/premade pasta as it's more convenient and better fitted to feed a large wave of customers. I remember seeing a docuseries by the actor Stanley Tucci where he went around Italy and it showed the chef in a restaurant he visited using dried pasta. So, though it is often displayed as traditional to make it from scratch in-house, it isn't that common.
Then again, I'm not Italian (I'm British) nor do I know of having any Italian Heritage but this is what I remember; if anyone from Italy has more insight on this, feel free to let me know.
I feel like if I was on this show my heart would be dropping multiple times
Another unbroken rule is serving bad/raw food to family members of Chef Ramsay and the Sous Chefs
Suggestion: Every HK opening night service ranked
Damn not gonna lie, I’m not into Hell’s Kitchen or any cooking show but you sir got me invested.
Flynnmasters should make content on Top Chef. Because it's kinda surprising that nobody really talks about it on UA-cam. I'm just saying though. But the Survivor and HK content is still really good.

4:59
For one, maybe 2 frames, you taste the pure condensed rage from Gordon
I'd like to think that the chefs talk back to Gordon Ramsay because they are too prideful to listen to even the greatest chef in the world and do not want to admit when they are wrong
3:33 times it is acceptable to use canned items in fine dining with 45 minutes to cook, plate, and serve:
-canned legumes like lentils or black eyed peas (normally you would have to soak them for hours and then cook them or they can make you very sick)
-specialty items as a component of a dish (canned anchovies for caesar salad dressing, san Marzano tomatoes for pizza or pasta sauce, sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, olives, etc…)
End of list
Hells kitchen can always teach you that there is head chef that will take the time and train you how to cook like a bat out of hell at anytime
gordon: say that again
raj: *y e s c h e f*
that part never fails to make me laugh
1:40 Though Scott talking back to Ramsay was because he was genuinely confused by him.
I hope you do a video on Hell's Kitchen challenge fails. Elizabath from Season 9 Episode 6's reunion challenge would definitely belong there.
I liked adding the audience for the signature dish. Even they know you f'ed up!
There's another rule I very distinctly remember, don't serve hot food on a cold plate. Ramsay got really, REALLY mad about someone doing that once
Nothing gets Chef Ramsay angry more than people who break Basic Food Hygiene & Safety Awareness Rules
the best part, is chef ramsey advocates for canned food in Master Chef. its the lack of effort, not that its canned
The cut at 4:59 has to be the best clip in the world
I like when a costumers comes up to complain and you know they can't cook a piece of toast and Gordon's pet peeve is seasoning
I would like to see some MasterChef videos from you. Unwritten rules or most notorious contestants on these would be fire 🔥🔥🔥
