He hosted a kids cooking competition show once. Watching him get down on a panicking 12 year old's level and rebuild their confidence was heartwarming. He also did a cooking show with his own kids. They took full advantage to sass the hell out of him.
He only lays into someone with both barrels if they call themselves a "professional" then act like an idiot. He also hams it up for the American shows.
It sends a wrong impression because the show is 100% not entirely about that (it might be a little bit about that, but also about all the different ways obsessions and insecurities kill ambitions), but that one scene was so weird and funny in an awkward out of place but somehow not surprising kind of way.
He quite famously is very anti-drug due to his brother being a heroin addict, his father dying from alcohol abuse, and another very close friend dying of an overdose.
That was part of the inspiration for this show. The rampant cocaine usage in the kitchen industry, and his personal experiences with addicts.
The restaurant business is pretty damn high energy and demanding and by the time they make it to chef, they'll be earning enough to afford a whole bunch of nose candy 🤷🏻
Can you point me in the direction of any reading I can do on this? I was under the impression he was OK. But I'm willing to change my view if there is a legitimate cause.
Hes an asshole. Piece of shit is accurate but it also in our currenty day conjures ideas and feelings of the vilest things, but hes not a pedophile or something.
Hes also been accused of sexism, physical abuse of his staff, and the constant humiliation and verbal abuse is not a reality tv gimmick (would argue its still not ok there anyways)
These sources i grabbed wuickly at work but they should give you an idea. Ive watched a lot of his shows when i was younger. Im nit going to deny theyre entertaining. But fuck him as a person.
Thanks for this. I agree with you about the vast scale of "piece of shit" as an adjective for "he was a bully in high school" to "Epstein," which is why I wanted to check I hadn't missed anything.

OK let's taste... This cocaine is shit, Pablo! The gasoline is not completely evaporated and there's far too much powder milk cut into it!
Let's see your lab! Come on! Oh my God I can't believe it. Open this barrel, open it now!

Gordon Ramsay on cocaine is every other show he's ever done.

Would explain why they chose him to host the show tbh 🤷🏻

I've heard that his persona on American shows is very different from his UK shows.

American Kitchen Nightmares is unwatchable but the UK one is quite funny.
Partly also due to weird censorship rules and sycophancy.

You've heard of Cocaine Bear, now get ready for Cocaine Chef!

I was gunna say, you ever seen this man make chicken stock??? No way hes not on cocaine. This is a normal day for him. Gobless.
Maeve@kbin.earth · 16 pts · 21d
Cocaine is always in the kitchen (staff).
Abyssian@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 21d
Yeah, If you've watched any of Gordon Ramsay's shows you've probably seen Gordon Ramsay on cocaine. Always energetic, easily angered... hmmmm.

Lindsay Graham was famously very anti-gay, but he still took it in the ass.

I could see Gordon being more unmedicated ADHD because of his stance on drugs.

Restaurant work is grueling. Been there, glad my kid chose another (also but not as) grueling track.
Slovene85@sh.itjust.works · 12 pts · 22d
Can you use cocaine as a gravy thickener?
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 8 pts · 22d
Only one way to find out!
Wren@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 21d
No. It's not great for flavour, either. It's better as a digestif so it doesn't ruin the palate, and because it's often cut with baby laxatives.

Why can't AI do something cool and fabricate the hypothetical gonzo "Gordon Ramsey on Cocaine" show that we all want to see?
Blackmist@feddit.uk · 5 pts · 21d
I suspect we've seen that without even knowing.
All TV chefs seem to have coke energy.
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 20d
And most other chefs, probably.
The restaurant business is pretty damn high energy and demanding and by the time they make it to chef, they'll be earning enough to afford a whole bunch of nose candy 🤷🏻

I watched part of that, or at least a different cocaine series he did, and it's actually pretty interesting.

Gordon admits to framing his mentor over a theft:
