Came to make the same comment. Gordon, like many, learned the screaming and cussing from someone/somewhere, and it just continues from them. It’s hot hard work, doesn’t matter if it’s Olive Garden, or the finest restaurants across the world. But for those at the top the stresses are even harder. One bad critic review or customer’s complaint can become a problem. “Burnt” with Bradley Cooper is a great peak into the world. There’s also a reason a lot of chefs deal with alcoholism and/or drug addiction, that’s how they dealt with the all around stress while making their way.
@@yourlifeisagreatstory The stress of working in the kitchen of a restaurant isn't the only reason for substance abuse. The fact of the matter is that the majority of kitchen workers are usually ex-cons. The restaurant industry is one of the few places that hire felons.
Gordon actually came into the restaurant I work at recently and he was nothing but respectful and polite. He took time to thank everyone and even went into the kitchen to take photos with the team. His response to the meal was “congratulations that was fucking delicious”. The dude is respected by the industry for good reason.
@@mcmandy086 it's super ironic that your displaying that same volatile attitude and verbal abuse Ramsey is accused of in this video as you call people " *idiots* ", while simultaneously defending the contestants in the the video in the same comment. #HILARIOUS 😂😂🤦🏾♀️🙄
The last part of this video reminded me of a story about a chef named Bernard Loiseau. He was a renowned 3-star Michelin chef in France who committed suicide. He was suffering from clinical depression which was being amplified with speculations of losing a Michelin star which lead to his suicide. Bernard's story should be a cautionary tale to those in the restaurant business who let the business consume them.
Did these chefs not watch Boiling Point? 😂 Gordon was a menace long before HK. The only valid criticism in this whole video is Ariel being mad about not being made executive chef, the rest are trying to tie Gordon’s attitude to suicides and predatory practices, which is crazy
I have to agree Ramsay is not a sweetheart he is the person you think he is. However he can turn it off and just because he doesn’t verbally abuse children doesn’t mean he isn’t for real. I have watched the uk kitchen nightmares. (The show were he goes into a failing restaurant and tries to turn it around) and he can be very nice and understanding. He even apologized for criticizing another chef’s cooking. His kitchen his rules. I’ve worked in kitchens like his in the UK and they were all ex military and hard cases.
I disagree in boiling point they got yelled at for making mistakes in Hell’s Kitchen they want you to make mistakes and if they have to play dirty by changing your ingredients or switch your oven to off they will
4:38 Now that's just wrong lol. Heather and Michelle kept working with him after the 1 year was up, and Rock, Christina Machamer, and Scott have been making public appearances with him for years
If you have mental illness, that is okay and you deserve help and respect. But why would you go on Hell's Kitchen? "Does Gordon Ramsay care about the contestants?" ...does he need to care? What exactly is his responsibility here? No one forced you on the show. You're using him for a paycheck and career advancement but when he lets you win and just has you do easy PR work, now you're a victim?
True but he needs to keep his word. He needs to make the winners actual executive chefs, not models to use for photo ops. Also 250k a year is way too low, even for an executive chef.
@MrLarrythehacker 250k is low!!! Wtf never ever have i heard that before. Even right now in this inflated economy 250k a year is a lot of money. My parents together were lucky to make 100k in a year. Exec chefs make an avg of 100k a year so yeah I'll be a model 250k idc haha
@@tiredanddepressed 250k is low for what Gordon Ramsay can give, not for the industry. You heard the interviewee. Ramsay made more than 250k per episode. Ramsay can afford to pay more. This is no ordinary exec chef job.
I don’t ‘think’ he’s acting. When he gets around the kids, he’s softer - of course. But as soon as the kids are ‘serving’ food for guests’ consumption, when they screw up, he gets on the kids as well.
Not in the same way he does with adults though, he gets on them enough for them to realize there is an error that needs to be addressed. With adults, he goes in on them like "why are you making these error you wannabe or so-called executive/professional chef". Big difference in attitude between the 2.
Van is the only one who went to the show with realistic expectations....in his words "they dont want you coming into their restaurant just cuz youre on some reality show, so just take the money and run" 💯......its like the people who go on SharkTank just for the exposure and not for the deal
It’s not an act. Even Anthony Boyrdain says the kitchen is beast. It makes you have to be one. Ramsey says, he gets it from the person he trained under. His family says he’s both. If you can’t stand the heat… don’t stand in the kitchen.
I feel this is one-sided. For every chef that feels wronged by Gordon Ramsay and Hell's Kitchen, I am sure there 10 more that have found success and have been on an upward trajectory ever since their appearance. You even have chefs coming back for reunion seasons and everything.
I don't see how that is relevant to the stated issue. Nobody forced them on the show, they did so with a clear indicator of what they were participating in the show for a chance at if they were to win, then upon winning it turned out to have not been the case. And if anyone was mistreated outside the bounds of their contract or reasonable expectations, it's not relevant if they chose to do the show or not.
This is one of the dumbest comments ever .. if a job hired you do a specific task then once you start working they say no we were only kidding in the interview, we really hired you to do something different you would probably feel the same way the contestants feel. It's about transparency and not being mislead
The problem is they were sold a prize and goal for winning a grueling competition and often got bait and switched when they won. Game show or not, it's bogus to promise something and not actually give it. If you went on a game show and won a boat after beating a bunch of contestants and leased a jetski instead, you'd be right to be mad at that. $250k salary job as a head or executive chef at a Ramsay owned establishment is a great prize to win HK, but being told that you're actually only going to get a sous chef or PR only job, if that, is lame by comparison. A lot of winners didn't even get that. Otherwise, I would agree that they should know they signed up for a harsh competition since serious kitchen environments are often toxic if not way more than the show.
I’ve been a fan of Gordon for years. The ONLY show where he is truly nice and docile is master chef Junior where he works with children. The grown up get the tough Gordon which is necessary for excellence in cooking. Without standards in cooking at best you get terrible food at worst you get people dying.
I was young when chefs like Emeril were big on the food network. I wanted to be a chef and dreamed of attending culinary school. I got a job as a cook at a diner at 16. I worked at a bbq restaurant as a pitmaster my senior year. I washed out pretty fast when I graduated from high school and reality set in. Culinary school is expensive as hell and was never a realistic option for a poor kid. My parents thought that career path was a joke and wouldn’t support it. I was only really good at doing prep type work. Working the line was super stressful to me during a rush. I also moved in with friends and realized how expensive it is when you aren’t living with your parents. I got a desk job at a hotel and haven’t been back in a kitchen since.
Not sure what i am missing here? This show is called HELL'S KITCHEN. What else do these contestants expects? Also, just watching Gordon's show called "Boiling point". Even Gordon said he was at his all time worst during this period. Hell's Kitchen might as well be DISNEY compared to what Gordon did in that Boiling point reality show.
All I can say is I ate at the highly reviewed (49k+) Hell’s Kitchen in Vegas and it was one of the best meals, drink(s), and service I’ve ever had. Def top 10 and this is including Tokyo, Dubai, you name it. The satellite location in Vegas (I forgot the hotel) also had one of the best burgers in my life. During the lunch burger, server told me about the restaurant and wow, both were great!
Gordon is going have different reactions depending on the situation. Obviously, he's not going to be screaming at a bunch of kids just learning to cook, that would be messed up. The contestants on hells kitchen were adults competing to eventually work for him, of course, he will be more aggressive in his reactions.
I can tell many of the people in the comment section haven’t even watched the whole video. They are not criticizing Chef Ramsey, they are criticizing the show’s broken promises. Ramsey is the face and the entertainment. But the people who create the show are the ones who actually hand out the prizes, if you win. Ariel is a great example. It’s not Chef Ramsey’s fault that she wasn’t made Sous Chef at BT Steaks. The creators of the show lied to her.
Wow, the bros are just so upset at their 'chad' being revealed 😂 What's weird is that this doc isn't even attacking Ramsey. It's just being honest about the reality of taking part in a show. Simple. Why are you all so offended?? 😂
I'm curious if any winners tried opening their own restaurant. The money from Hell's Kitchen could've helped them establish a restaurant and fame/PR from winning on Hell's Kitchen would've likely brought customers.
Your ticket in, is hard work from the bottom to the top. Going on a reality cooking show isn’t going to get what you want. Also, don’t open a restaurant you must be mad. And I’m an ex Chef.
What did these contestants think that he’s gonna mentor each of them going forward?? Obviously it’s reality tv and that’s all their role will be in his eyes. If they want to make a name for themselves they have to work just as hard as everyone else in the world
Biggest example would be Jason Santos, former competitor of HK. After the show, he would later work other restaurants and even run several restaurants of his own. He would even work on Bar Rescue a couple of seasons and even come back to HK as a sous chef.
I mean Christina was smart enough to realize that she still had to do the work after she already won (not sure if she just participated and was either eliminated). but how did everyone else manage to burn bridges with the Ramsey restaurant empire, 1 out of 15? I would have stayed! It’s like what Marco always says about ego being the worst thing that can ever come into food/recipe. At least stay a while and leave on good terms when a opportunity arises which all credit would come from excelling on the show. I think they just wanted the fame and believed the dramatization even though you can tell there is actually truth mixed in with the tv writing (they are actually cooking at high skill levels). Having a mentor as a starting place is a lot better than starting by yourself and is basically the route all other chefs/family renowned restaurateurs take. Marco had that hotel at Leeds. Gordon had Harvey’s AND Marco. They stay true to those establishments, build from there teachings and move on. These 14 other contestants basically started from zero after all that work with Gordon.
The real issue is, some of these Hell's Kitchen winners didn't capitalize off of their win. They thought this was it. Not how it works. I don't care what producers told you. My favorite Hell's Kitchen winner Rock Harper who I've met, knew that better than anyone. Which is why he now owns 2 restaurants & a bar out here in the DC/DMV area & is published cookbook author. I can't feel sorry for the winners because you knew what it was. Get the money & the fame from the win & handle your business with other projects. You see the other winners who won & captialized off their win don't have anything bad to say about Gordon.
I always asked myself how do you only offer $250k when you have multiple multi billion dollar restaurants and shows… like at least 1 milly or something… hearing he makes their salary in 1 episode is not shocking but sad
Do you think just because you won a show he’s gonna give you the keys to the kingdom? He worked hard to get where he is. The one girl who has stuck by him, just got her whole entire house redone by him and he paid for it. He probably wants you to prove yourself more than just a stupid reality show first. Sounds like the contestants need to temper their expectations.
I first learned about Ramsey as far back as 2002 when I found a leaked video of him screaming at his staff at the London Hotel. I don't believe his behavior has ever been fake or put on for tv. I believe this man has OCD and a level of over the top excellence that I'm sure was instilled in him at the start. But I worked in this industry and only lasted 3yrs before pulling out a herniated disc while at work. It is hard and thankless work. I can see why when chefs reach a certain status they crave all the tv time and praises.
I've always thought of him as an emotionally abusive bully. I think his behaviour is totally unhinged and I find it strange how so many people defend it and act like it is normal or acceptable, even in this comment section.
I lasted about 5 years post culinary school in kitchens. Crazy hours and every weekend. Every holiday and to boot the pay was horrid. Loved the work with the actual ingredients. Actually loved service too. It was just the schedule and pay. It’s also a hard ass physical job.
Lots of people in these comments are justifying terrible behavior for consumerism at the cost of human lives, dignity, and health. Let’s get it together-
I don’t feel bad for Ariel from season 15 because the show had already been on for 11 years when her season aired. She could’ve googled the show and seen the stories about HK winners and contestants. Dave from season 6 even said when he won the job at the Araxi restaurant, they basically made him a host at the front of the restaurant and he rarely ever got to run the pass. The Holli Ugalde situation as well. All of these things were well known about the outcomes.
After winning season 4, Christina M. Got to work at Gordon Ramsay's London West Hollywood, but as a senior assistant chef. She didn't have enough experience to be an executive chef.
"Its a roll he can't step away from." Uuhhh yes he can, and has. He's even spoken about it. All these "chefs" sound like a bunch of toddlers in their first real kitchen.
Imma be real, even non Michellin star restaurants are like this. Food service can be deplorable as work environment

why would even people expect a "heaven" when IT IS NAMED HELL'S KITCHEN!!!!
Chef is the hardest job period and is no wonder they drink a lot
Where's the lamb sauce?!
Whaaaat? Reality TV isn't real???
I wonder if this documentary is longer than the 7 minutes shown here
It is actually 45 minutes. It’s really good.
It's Raw!!
This is too much 😂
Considering the goody is being paid to be verbally critically abusive, why would someone with a low mental tolerance enter this competition.
Catch me on the stove life a chef in hell's kitchen got a whole team of smokers on the filed while i'm pitchin'
Do you think just because you won a show he’s gonna give you the keys to the kingdom? He worked hard to get where he is. The one girl who has stuck by him, just got her whole entire house redone by him and he paid for it. He probably wants you to prove yourself more than just a stupid reality show first. Sounds like the contestants need to temper their expectations.
I first learned about Ramsey as far back as 2002 when I found a leaked video of him screaming at his staff at the London Hotel. I don't believe his behavior has ever been fake or put on for tv. I believe this man has OCD and a level of over the top excellence that I'm sure was instilled in him at the start. But I worked in this industry and only lasted 3yrs before pulling out a herniated disc while at work. It is hard and thankless work. I can see why when chefs reach a certain status they crave all the tv time and praises.
Its called "entertainment" and Gordon knew cooking shows are boring asf 😂
you just gave me a light bulb thank you
This whole vid some bs they all knew what they were signing up for and yes it’s entertainment get over it be happy you got to be on television
I've always thought of him as an emotionally abusive bully. I think his behaviour is totally unhinged and I find it strange how so many people defend it and act like it is normal or acceptable, even in this comment section.
I lasted about 5 years post culinary school in kitchens. Crazy hours and every weekend. Every holiday and to boot the pay was horrid. Loved the work with the actual ingredients. Actually loved service too. It was just the schedule and pay. It’s also a hard ass physical job.
Lots of people in these comments are justifying terrible behavior for consumerism at the cost of human lives, dignity, and health. Let’s get it together-
I don’t feel bad for Ariel from season 15 because the show had already been on for 11 years when her season aired. She could’ve googled the show and seen the stories about HK winners and contestants. Dave from season 6 even said when he won the job at the Araxi restaurant, they basically made him a host at the front of the restaurant and he rarely ever got to run the pass. The Holli Ugalde situation as well. All of these things were well known about the outcomes.
Are you serious? Lol.
After winning season 4, Christina M. Got to work at Gordon Ramsay's London West Hollywood, but as a senior assistant chef. She didn't have enough experience to be an executive chef.
@@ICONICPARIS She was a culinary student at that time!
Van is the only realistic one on here.
5:57 Shes dressed exactly like Will Ferrell as Harry Caray on SNL
"Its a roll he can't step away from." Uuhhh yes he can, and has. He's even spoken about it. All these "chefs" sound like a bunch of toddlers in their first real kitchen.
....*ROLE* 🤦🏾♂️
@@kondodurham2599Hawaiian roll 😂
Gordon is a Chef and Actor
Ramsay is like that lol. I think this one is uncalled for...
A lot of the best things in life don’t come easy. I think it’s easy to lose sight of that in today’s time where everything’s a little bit softer.
Van…my man!!!!
Mental stress from work is a hell of a thing. But if we normalize it for chefs, can we do the same for first responders and military.
Is this an actual special episode?? Where is the full version??
this was a waste of time and resources.
Having worked as a waiter in many restaurants, I don’t see the point of glamorizing chefs like this. I can’t believe anybody pays for culinary school.
Thank goodness we’re getting this story from 16 years ago.
😂😂😊
