blind taste tests are way harder than they seem... very very talented chefs regularly screw up simple things, and most people would be very surprised. Lex actually just killed it.
@@5hyper7form94 to know how hard blind taste tests are. I've worked with super talented cooks, wayyy better than me, who made simple mistakes like this during tastings. Especially when the cook is trying to hide which is which (undercooking beef and overcooking chicken), it's very, very hard. But hey, what do i know? I've only done this exact thing like a dozen times ahahhaha
Gordon's real talent is in preparing raw human ingredients like *arrogance and laziness,* putting them in his oven for 48 hours, and pulling out *pride and enthusiasm.*
There is something about Tabitha. Like they’re making out that she’s nasty, but she just seems to care about that place. She seems smart and hard working. She just fiery lol
If any wait staff are bad or have a shitty attitude that's draining the business Gordon will definitely let them know it. But most aren't, and are there to work. Waiting tables is geared to best performance by the tipping custom. Bad waitering, fewer/smaller tips.

@@flavc5434 That was mostly manufactured through editing and voice-over.

I always laugh when these chefs say that customers did not complain about their food. Don't they realize that some customers won't always complain about the food? They just won't come back.
I, personally, don't usually complain. Moreover, I can't even recall having complained about received food. As far as I remember I tasted dried desserts, over-salted tom yam, there was a fly in my dish, but I didn’t complain because it was embarrassing for me to offend the chef 🤣
No use in complaining cause most of them sometimes just get mad at us. If u ask them to redo they bring back to the kitchen and spit the food and serve it . Again not everyone but yes it do happen . So some are just afraid to complain 😐
The one thing I envy about Gordon Ramsey isn’t his fame or his money or even his talent. It’s his people skills. He is able to get an immediate bead on bad people and he’s tough but uplifting. He knows when sometimes needs tender guidance and he knows when they need a boot up their bum. He talks to people without any anxiety. He just goes out there. I could never.
She wasn't just "understandably upset" she was calling people names and screaming, so was the chef 🙄 I don't care how upset you are that's totally inappropriate behaviour on both their parts, especially towards your co - workers.
@@nono-kr7um Both her and the chef need to be professional at their work. Swearing and yelling at eachother where customers can easily hear you is totally unacceptable. If they're having issues for any reason they need to deal with them better than that. It's a business, they need to act like it
The camera crew set up shop in the kitchen months before Gordon ever stepped foot there, and everything was filmed. His team told him exactly what he'd be getting
Yeah, I only complain if I think the restaurant still has potential, say maybe got one dish out of 5 wrong kinda stuff. If the food is really really bad, my fam will just leave an opinion with the server if they asked and would never revisit.
@@scousefcburkito6523 she does that out of the embarrassment and pressure and maybe short temper i believe and while it still should be kept in check, in an environment like that(no discipline, a playground like shit) one is likely to lose temper.
As someone working in customer support, I understand Tabitha wholeheartedly. If it wouldn't cost me my job AND if it would actually _do something_, me and my collegues would have some stern words for our CEOs.
Course it bloody doesn't, 99% of the time the food's absolute shit, I could bet generic pizzas at the place I get my school lunch from taste better than more than half the food here
Ricky did amazing! it's wonderful to watch someone humble themselves and his true talent as a head chef was amazing to watch. I would eat at any restaurant he is a chef at.
it's interesting to see how most chefs go from "Gordon is only one opinion, f**k him and I know my food is good" to "Gordon is an amazing guy, I am thankful for him"
@@Gnossiene369 Why do people just like to be smart about everything? Just enjoy it as it as and don't try to be smart about it. If you don't like it that's fine but honestly just theorising "Ah yes its fabricated." About anything that feels good is such an unhealthy and cynical mindset.
Little update for everyone: At the end of the episode we hear that both Ricky and Tabitha excelled in their roles as Executive Chef and Manager. Lela's closed in 2007 as although business had improved Lela's debts were too high. Yelp reviews were mostly negative. In it's place now is Aladdin Jr Restaurant & Cafe, an Arab restaurant with good reviews. After Lela's Ricky went on to become Executive Chef at The Corner Butcher Shop in La Verne. He later worked for Silver Spoon Catering and is currently working at Hollywood Park Casino.
@@saladfrog ehmm cynical take. of course the kitchen nightmares editors want the audience to see some growth in the people in each episode. having watched a lot of these episodes, i've kinda gotten used to that. i only pointed it out because ricky's progress was significant and pivotal
I just love how excited gordon gets about really trying to help these restaurants. Especially during the little make-over scenes. He jumps around and is so excited about all of the changes.
the name buzzard and his personality is like a game character. Name: Buzzard Description: A goblin who will steal foods in your restaurant if left unnoticed.
Bruh that ending was so grim, They were all doing really good and just very quickly at the end they had to close, damn, I wonder where they all are now
Bro I literally watched this on PS4 and had to search on my phone to see if anyone else commented on this... 😂 like wtf sick story sick turn around then a 2 second ending saying it all went to shit safe 🤣😭
@no u I mean it’s hardly surprising that most of the failing businesses in debt are well beyond the point of saving, even assuming they completely turned around for the better. Dats business, it’s not a fairy tale.
About 95% of the places featured on this show are closed. It's a fun game to play Google the restaurant as you're watching the episode. It's usually because they can't keep up with Gordon's standards and revert back.
"All I know about Ramsay, is that he yells a lot". Ramsay sits down and talks in a quiet calm voice, saying "please" and "thank you" and being super nice.
I love how Gordon Ramsay can tell if something has been frozen, or made yesterday, or from a tin, just from the first taste. Some people are just so into food.
@@ChampionCynthia493 IS IT??? as a non-american where we have our own cola-type drink that has herbs in it and actually tastes slightly better I do not consume coca-cola or pepsi often enough to tell a difference (as I have not had either in over 5 years most likely!) but my mom cannot tell when I put coffee in my cakes (she doesn't like it) and when I tell her she backtracks on loving my cakes rip
@@ariamoonfall4558 They taste very similar, but they have very different SMELLS. For fun I did some blind tasting, and with a clenched nose I couldn't tell a difference, but normally the smell gave it away 100% of the time.
Ricky getting humbled by Gordon was so important to his life. Ricky needed to be knocked down so he can build back up as a better Chef than he was before. Amazing turnaround
Ricky : "The recipe to lela's burger is top secret. I could tell, but i have to kill you". Meanwhile, Gordon Ramsay : "chopped beef, salt & pepper, dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, ketchup, finely chopped red onion, 3 egg yolk to bind it together". 😂😂😂
@@demilich867 Lex was doing alright, he just really fell under pressure. Ricky could handle the pressure but he failed as a chef. Seeing his man Lex walk out made Ricky click that theres no one else who could do it and he pretty much had to buck up his ideas. Lex is younger then Ricky with 0 experience, and I think Ricky cared that he couldn't do it. When the two were back to together when Lex returned they fell into place as they should be. I think Ricky actually showed he cared about his soux chef. Was it a good idea to put Lex in charge? No, he wasn't ready. But it caused something to happen in Ricky in that moment. You definately could see he was hit by that when Gordon told him to go after him. Meanwhile, I think it sent a message in the other direction back to the ones who had a go at him, that while you can beat Ricky, you can't beat the rest of the staff like that or you have staff walk out. All in all, they all realised their being jerks to each other.
@@yungk4t0u53 agreed, you can see it in him, he really manned up after he was put in Lex's place as soux chef and then had to watch what happened to Lex who was put in charge. Give the guy credit, he was glad to have Lex back and Lex had his back once he returned, the pair usually joke around but Ricky wasn't laughing at that moment Lex was walking out. Even before he walked out, you can see Ricky getting more and more concerned Lex was falling apart.
Let's be honest he proved us all wrong. I just didn't see him rising to the challenge. But he did and was fantastic. I think him in this show is a prime example of us being a product of our environment.
What that man proved is that you are what you are when the heat is up. There are many good chefs which can pull the line on a slow night. It's on heavy nights when they show their worth, especially if they can do it week after week, as they start to get worn down. What Ricky needed was to be demoted in order to show what he can do. I don't know what happened to him, but if he could hold that stamina, he could go far as a chef.
@@leoa4c From what I hear, he was quite successful. Went on to be a chef at another restaurant, and was locally featured on the news for his excellent fish and meat dishes. Guess he really had diamonds on his fish.
I may or may not be right but i think Gordon confirmed (idk i read this somewhere else) that he doesn't scream at children Because it'd be shit and their still young Ofcourse they'll make foolish mistakes But to adults? They have grown,they should have learned from their past mistakes
Nah, he is rude. But it's not rudeness for the sake of it. It's the kind of rudeness that's supposed to snap you out of your misguided ways and motivate you to do better. I'd say he's rude, but he's not an asshole or a bully. If he sees that his harsh comments changed your attitude and made you perform better he'll be the first person to praise you.

No use in complaining cause most of them sometimes just get mad at us. If u ask them to redo they bring back to the kitchen and spit the food and serve it . Again not everyone but yes it do happen . So some are just afraid to complain 😐
has anyone noticed Ricky's changes in his eyes from this arrogant egoistic dude to a very humble and professional man?
Yes
Yes
This is what happen to chef sometime... we always need someone to relight our flamme and this is what gordon brinf to him .

The one thing I envy about Gordon Ramsey isn’t his fame or his money or even his talent. It’s his people skills. He is able to get an immediate bead on bad people and he’s tough but uplifting. He knows when sometimes needs tender guidance and he knows when they need a boot up their bum. He talks to people without any anxiety. He just goes out there. I could never.
i feel like his attitude changed once he realised he didnt know what chicken tastes like
Moment of enlightenment...

Chefs: *Don't do their jobs*
Tabitha: *Gets understandably upset*
Owner: "Yeah, it's Tabitha."
She wasn't just "understandably upset" she was calling people names and screaming, so was the chef 🙄 I don't care how upset you are that's totally inappropriate behaviour on both their parts, especially towards your co - workers.
@@daylightbright7675 nah dude, that's just not being able to stand fucking idiots, which is completely understandable
no she called the Diner who have the order, a MOFO, while everyone sitting in the restaurant could hear
She is understandably Stressed.
@@nono-kr7um Both her and the chef need to be professional at their work. Swearing and yelling at eachother where customers can easily hear you is totally unacceptable. If they're having issues for any reason they need to deal with them better than that. It's a business, they need to act like it

How do the restaurants chef not understand..
People dont complain,
They just dont come back again

Ay no cap
Yeah, I only complain if I think the restaurant still has potential, say maybe got one dish out of 5 wrong kinda stuff. If the food is really really bad, my fam will just leave an opinion with the server if they asked and would never revisit.
Exactly
Risky to complain mid service people feel for fear what will be done to their food.

Ricky did amazing! it's wonderful to watch someone humble themselves and his true talent as a head chef was amazing to watch. I would eat at any restaurant he is a chef at.
it's interesting to see how most chefs go from "Gordon is only one opinion, f**k him and I know my food is good" to "Gordon is an amazing guy, I am thankful for him"
It’s fabricated. They just following whatever they pay them to follow.
Like one person said on this show
"It a pretty successful opinion"
@@Gnossiene369 Why do people just like to be smart about everything? Just enjoy it as it as and don't try to be smart about it. If you don't like it that's fine but honestly just theorising "Ah yes its fabricated." About anything that feels good is such an unhealthy and cynical mindset.
It's a TV show.
@@spittyjr.2181 well said man totally agree. If anyone just thinks every show is fabricated then don't watch it.
Little update for everyone:
At the end of the episode we hear that both Ricky and Tabitha excelled in their roles as Executive Chef and Manager.
Lela's closed in 2007 as although business had improved Lela's debts were too high.
Yelp reviews were mostly negative.
In it's place now is Aladdin Jr Restaurant & Cafe, an Arab restaurant with good reviews.
After Lela's Ricky went on to become Executive Chef at The Corner Butcher Shop in La Verne.
He later worked for Silver Spoon Catering and is currently working at Hollywood Park Casino.
Thanks for the update but how do you know so much about Ricky 😂
@@chancechapman365idk
makes sense that he’s working at a casino now😭😭
Thanks for the update!
I heard he became a Gender neutral cis male
“I can’t take responsibility for the whole restaurant failing” YOURE THE HEAD CHEF WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
i love seeing ricky's growth. i don't think he was inherently a bad person to start with, just unmotivated and had a bit of an ego
A bit of an ego? Like a giant star!
@@saladfrog ehmm cynical take. of course the kitchen nightmares editors want the audience to see some growth in the people in each episode. having watched a lot of these episodes, i've kinda gotten used to that. i only pointed it out because ricky's progress was significant and pivotal

'i let my food speak for itself'
The famous last words of every chef on this program 😂
And the food is screaming this guy fucking sucks to Ramsey..
He’s a punk
🤣 Everytime! Their food never seems to say much when they let it "speak for itself".
Bruh that ending was so grim,
They were all doing really good and just very quickly at the end they had to close, damn, I wonder where they all are now
I was happy for them but the ending made it sad but atleast the chefs know how to handle things more seriously
Bro I literally watched this on PS4 and had to search on my phone to see if anyone else commented on this... 😂 like wtf sick story sick turn around then a 2 second ending saying it all went to shit safe 🤣😭

I was so happy until this happened
About 95% of the places featured on this show are closed. It's a fun game to play Google the restaurant as you're watching the episode. It's usually because they can't keep up with Gordon's standards and revert back.

Ricky getting humbled by Gordon was so important to his life. Ricky needed to be knocked down so he can build back up as a better Chef than he was before. Amazing turnaround
Ricky : "The recipe to lela's burger is top secret. I could tell, but i have to kill you".
Meanwhile,
Gordon Ramsay : "chopped beef, salt & pepper, dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, ketchup, finely chopped red onion, 3 egg yolk to bind it together".
😂😂😂
Exactly 😂😂

Damnit I wanted to comment this, take my thumb up
My homie ricky had a whole story arc and redemption story, homie said imma flip the scrip.
Compared to Lex who bigged himself up then froze and ran like a coward
@@demilich867 Lex was doing alright, he just really fell under pressure. Ricky could handle the pressure but he failed as a chef. Seeing his man Lex walk out made Ricky click that theres no one else who could do it and he pretty much had to buck up his ideas. Lex is younger then Ricky with 0 experience, and I think Ricky cared that he couldn't do it. When the two were back to together when Lex returned they fell into place as they should be. I think Ricky actually showed he cared about his soux chef.
Was it a good idea to put Lex in charge? No, he wasn't ready. But it caused something to happen in Ricky in that moment. You definately could see he was hit by that when Gordon told him to go after him. Meanwhile, I think it sent a message in the other direction back to the ones who had a go at him, that while you can beat Ricky, you can't beat the rest of the staff like that or you have staff walk out.
All in all, they all realised their being jerks to each other.
@@AngelEmfrbl uncle Ricky is a real homie , no matter older or younger , a homies a homies , and uncle Ricky did watch out for his boi Lex
@@yungk4t0u53 agreed, you can see it in him, he really manned up after he was put in Lex's place as soux chef and then had to watch what happened to Lex who was put in charge. Give the guy credit, he was glad to have Lex back and Lex had his back once he returned, the pair usually joke around but Ricky wasn't laughing at that moment Lex was walking out. Even before he walked out, you can see Ricky getting more and more concerned Lex was falling apart.
@@AngelEmfrbl damn why you so invested in this
Love how Ricky proved Gordon wrong, man really earned his respect
By the time he came around, it was just too late!
Let's be honest he proved us all wrong. I just didn't see him rising to the challenge. But he did and was fantastic. I think him in this show is a prime example of us being a product of our environment.
😂 28:40 when they changed his headliner to “EX-Head Chef” 🤣
What that man proved is that you are what you are when the heat is up.
There are many good chefs which can pull the line on a slow night. It's on heavy nights when they show their worth, especially if they can do it week after week, as they start to get worn down.
What Ricky needed was to be demoted in order to show what he can do. I don't know what happened to him, but if he could hold that stamina, he could go far as a chef.
@@leoa4c From what I hear, he was quite successful. Went on to be a chef at another restaurant, and was locally featured on the news for his excellent fish and meat dishes. Guess he really had diamonds on his fish.
