THIS should make him sooo pissed off he jumps up on one of those stainless steel tables and takes a Giant Screaming Shhitt.

i've been waiting for that to happen. i wonder if they'll televise it?

I hate the americian Kitchen nightmares,but the british one is really good.

zez: I hate the American Kitchen nightmares, but the British one is really good.

Seconded. The American version seems to be a sort of Extreme Makeovers-Oprah crossover that happens to have a "let-s improve the food" substory in the background. The British version is all about improving the restaurant and getting it back to being a bastion of good eating. Someone here on Fark once said that "the American version (of Kitchen Nightmares) screams a need for self-improvement," and it's hard to find fault with that statement.

Comments like this always amuse me. To think that someone can muster up the word "hate" to describe his/her feelings about a TV is remarkable to me. And the endless Brit/American TV show comparison feuds are just as inane. Don't you have other things to do like enjoy time with your family, take a walk, actually go out to a great restaurant besides letting your hatred build for a TV show about restaurants?

It's a nice day--go outside & play, all right?

26 minutes amirite?

I was at a taping a few months ago for an episode that will air next season. At one point Ramsay came over to our table to ask how our meals were ("The chicken was undercooked, yes?") when suddenly there's a loud crash and someone yelling "F*CK" from the kitchen, and he quickly excused himself and went running in there. I guess I'll find out what happened when it airs.

I don't hate the American version, but the British version is better. The British show is mostly about the food and running the business, the American version is mostly family drama and attention whores soaking up the spotlight.

1) Forced to work today, though not much else to do besides check e-mail, so I am sort of stuck behind the screen.

2) I seriously doubt you take the time to groom yourself, much less have any friends, so have fun at your BBQ for one. I hope your new hairdo stands up to the wind and humidity.

You sound fat.

Trump to buy the biz and fire Ramsay in 3...2..1.

Wait? What?? An American version of a British show sucks?!?!? Stop the presses!

"F**k **** F*** **** Sh** f*** **** c*** s**** tw** **** f*** ***t"

If someone kept calling every chef he ever met a donkey, you would start to think every chef is a donkey.

Who wants to have donkeys cooking your dinner? Not me. Not me.

i'll do it. here's what it'll be like:

i bust in and cuss out the head chef for about 30 minutes about how worthless he is and have him cook his signiture dish. then i eat it and tell him it's the biggest piece of shiat i've ever had and i can't believe he thinks he can call himself a cook. then i tell the staff they all suck shiat but i find a 17 year old kid back there and i'm super nice to him to show the audience i'm the behemoth with a heart and i tell the kid he's the best cook and i fire everybody and then i leave and come back 6 months later and am astonished that the place is still in business and i bust in and tell everybody they suck shiat and i vomit into a cooking pot and fry it and serve it to some plant customers who say that it's the best main course they ever had and then i take a shiat in their walk in freezer and leave all while cussing non stop.

Gordon Ramsay is awesomely funny and he clearly knows what he's doing. That said, the restaurant business is a biatch. If you fail, there is no Obama to give you money/buy your shiat out.

Everything you said is true, and hilarious. Now if we could only get them to actually air the part where he drops a deuce in the freezer it would be the perfect show. The closest they've come to that was when Ramsay 'found' a dog turd on the patio of one place, as if he hadn't pinched that one himself when no one was looking! Cheeky donkey.

I remember that one, it was the restruant with the "unique" menu and the outdoor kabob sections. I like Ramsays methods though; simple menu, fresh local ingredients, quick service.

/Love the show, don't dislike the American ones, but the British ones do seem better.
//Hated the "chef" in the Long Island restruant that put balsamic vinegar on EVERYTHING. (Hint: His daddy owned the restruant)
///If I ever open up my own restruant it will be a short order noodle shop called "Everybody Loves Ramen"

I guess I'm in the minority. I find the American Kitchen Nightmares waaaaaay more entertaining than the British version. It's just more fun to watch. The British one is good, don't get me wrong, but the American version keeps my attention much better.

Looking forward to new Hell's Kitchen this month.

To me the biggest difference is that in the British version Ramsay does his own voice-over, while the American version features that same smarmy narrator whose voice is all over those cop-car-cam and how-a-fiberglass-speedboat-is-assembled shows strewn all over the back roads of basic cable.

The American equivalent of the BBC accent the Pythons made mercilous fun of 40 years ago.

ramsay says, "what the fucock is a restruant?"
