Same. Wagyu sliders,Wellington with potato purée. I expected it to be OK and to pay a couple hundred bucks. I still spend a couple hundred but I’ve never been to a restaurant with as tender and tasty meat, such a creamy purée and the sliders were like better cheesesteaks and I’m from philly
You have to understand Ramsey's situation at this time. He trained in Paris without a word of French. His mentor in England was Marco Pierre White. He resigned from his position as Head Chef to go on his own. When this documentary was filmed, he was going for his his 3rd Michelin Star. He was been sued in court for millions at the time. Also when the cameras weren't rolling he was incredibly helpful of his staff and took great care of them.
Please don't try and defend him. He might be calmer and more likeable nowadays but it doesn't excuse him bullying and slapping around guys half his size like he is here. Bullies always have an "excuse"; doesn't change the fact they're bullies.
@@capitalcitygiant yeah man I feel like he definitely mellowed out a lot cause his life has turned around so much. We still have to understand that Gordon came from a very rough childhood. He might lack that politeness in him and can get very aggressive. But I think in the end he’s not a bad person. This is just based off what I know on him
He was paying them 600~ pounds a week at the time and this was late 80's/90's. That was a REALLY good amount of money. He's tough but when you're getting paid that much, you should at least try.
It was 1999 boiling point - maybe filmed late 98’. This was the opening months of RGR, post-Aubergine. His first all-in venture, hence the stress levels. Late 80’s and early 90’s he would have still been at Harvey’s under Marco.
You kidding? That’s bloody good money for cooks back in the late 90s. Gordon was in such a high stress zone at this point in his career basically threw all his eggs in one basket and thankfully it paid off!
As someone who worked 10 years in the Hotel Industry, I can only attest, that Gordon is not even nearly a harsh chef. Thats nothing. hes actually being pretty considerate and friendly. Ive seen people being thrown with everything imaginable, beaten malicious intent, Iv e even had a sous chef lock an apprentice in the freezer. Kitchens are wild.

This is how kitchens actually operate, any shows trying to mimic it are just edited for entertainment. Actual cooking nobody stops to look in awe or fuck around, you fuck up you just move on and try to redo asap.
It's far more efficient to cut back on the persistent bullying and do your job as a chef. Yes, on the spot corrections and verbal reprimand can be necessary, but make your point, make it quickly, then take your foot off their throat so everyone can get back to work. Just 30 seconds of bullying, repeated dozens and dozens and dozens of times each shift adds up to a massive lost in productivity of the Chef, of the person being yelled at, and of the lost focus of the entire crew who is within earshot of the berating.
Yeah this type of behaviour is just counterproductive bullying. There are far better ways to handle it. Fact is - these are people he CHOSE to employ, it's not some Hell's Kitchen Nightmare scenario.
Totally agree, especially 11:33 that is just unacceptable, the fact you spend your personal 1.3 million pound and trying to catch a michellin star isn't even an excuse for this kind of bollocks behaviour. But he did say he regrets treating his staff like this, so it's good.
3:58 Oh god no I bet you Gordon knew Tom was the type to not do anything about someone slapping him on his bald head like that. That's just utter disrespect on Ramsay's part.
This was his joint, his kitchen, his money. All the risk is his and they are just on the payroll. He realizes nobody in there cares as much as he does so he has to push them. The expression 'if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen' has never applied better. It's inspirational to see his relentless perfectionism and drive.
He's gotten his temper from his dad... his dad was an abusive bully, I think we are looking at and hearing Ramsays Dad resonate through him in his kitchen when he is under pressure he literally morphs into his father, I bet his dad spoke to him like this as a child. Its astonishing and also purely heartbreaking..
thanks so much for this 12 minute upload, i've only seen the short version. i love Gordon and it's amazing to see his work ethic at such a young age. I really look up to him
Gordon Ramsey “you silly billy! You’re so silly that I don’t even understand you. You’re just a silly silly billy! Silly billy! Silly silly billy! So so so so silly silly billy!” He could be so mean
@@powerplayer75 what? If a cook makes a mistake during service, one that can potentially have lasting consequences, then action is needed. You have to remember that back in the day chef ramsay served at a very high level, you'd have to be very rich to even eat the food he served, so the expectations of working well under pressure are clear. Remember that there is money and reputation on the line.
I worked under someone like this, a French man. 2,5 years of constant stress. This treatment does not make you better. It just activates your stress response. Many people get sick from it. I've seen many colleagues needing sick leave after this kind of treatment. The negative impact of this is much bigger than the positive.
True. He is agressive, rude, negative and bully. He puts everyone down. He thinks is better than everyone, no humillity. Even he is, the atitude is very negative and arrogante.
Absolutely agreed. With that being said, I've certainly had managers who were generally great leaders and good people, but once every blue moon they'd get into a mood for a day. You just had to do your job, not talk back, and make it to the next day where they would be back to their normal self. Not to excuse such behavior. But it could at least partially explain why things like this happen and there isn't a kitchen rebellion or mass resignations.
Reputation on the line after leaving aubergine, father died, brother in prison, twins born premature, sold his house to fund it, honestly a miracle he didn’t kill anyone at this time, it’s hard to comprehend the level of pressure and stress they were all under
Chewing someone out for getting something wrong is one thing You should let people know when they’ve made a mistake It’s the fact he just KEEPS on that person long after they’ve acknowledged their mistake that bothers me You tell them they’ve got it wrong, they accept it and apologise, you move on. Just kicking them over and over when they have no recourse to fight back just makes you look like a bully
Bullying? What bullying? All Gordon is doing is letting them know that they have up their game and do better. You have to be thick skinned and learn from your mistakes that's how they get better. If he was bully he would not work in a restaurant.
@@TONYCOV881 he talks about it in hot ones, he knows the bar is high and he wants people to know what they did wrong and to not make that mistake again. It may seem harsh but it’ll make them better chefs
@@matthiassuki_2546 Very true and we are living in a time where snowflakes get offended by the slightest little thing so this is one person you can't point the finger at. So it shows that his methods are right he shouts he calls them dickheads and twats etc and that's about it.
@@TONYCOV881 Getting told you made a mistake is one thing. Getting picked on over and over again even after it is all set and done is useless. I made a mistake, I'll fix it. If you just stay on my case and start pushing me around and start making shit personal for no reason, the cooking is really not the thing on my mind anymore. That means more mistakes, more stress for everyone. You can solve a problem without being an asshole when there is really no reason. Nobody is talking back to you and people are getting on with it. Seems he just needs to project his issues to someone who can't fight back. You can talk to someone like an adult and still fix the mistake, you don't need to throw a tantrum everytime.
@@MrTVx99 He is just giving him the reminder that the standards are high, he knew what he signed for and if you can't handle the pressure get put of the kitchen as the old saying goes. Some of his chefs have been gone on be big success stories so his methods get results.

This is actually disgusting, I could never work for someone like him and IDGAF how stressed he was. I am glad Marco made him cry and Marco seems like a better mentor.
@@merlin4306 Nah, they bully you because they can, and they don't get enough any stress outlet. Look at the late Marco Pierre White. All he needs is to LOOK at you to understand you fucked up. That's class. Gordon, on the other hand, is a type of guy that dishes it out, but once Jamie Oliver makes a joke about his wife miscarriage and he goes all whiny like a big fucking crybaby.
Not sure what the fuck is going on with the audio here. Sounds almost out of phase or something. Can't hear a word of what's going on. Might be worth exporting again
Ok to be fair, wearing a blue plaster as a waiter is not only supporting that importance of chefs wearing them while cooking, but it helps prevent it falling off into the food while serving. That was unreasonable.
Gordon is passionate about his food and his customer service but unfortunately he is an abusive bully. The staff that put up with it are stronger than him IMO.

as a veteran of the indsutry, this video helps me fall asleep at night lol
Ah, the soothing sounds of Chef Gordon Ramsay yelling and cursing.
Its like a shooting range, I can sleep like a baby at the firing point with others blasting away :D
This was his joint, his kitchen, his money. All the risk is his and they are just on the payroll. He realizes nobody in there cares as much as he does so he has to push them. The expression 'if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen' has never applied better. It's inspirational to see his relentless perfectionism and drive.
He's gotten his temper from his dad... his dad was an abusive bully, I think we are looking at and hearing Ramsays Dad resonate through him in his kitchen when he is under pressure he literally morphs into his father, I bet his dad spoke to him like this as a child. Its astonishing and also purely heartbreaking..
Like in Burger Kitchen how Alan Saffron acted like he did because of his Dad, and he treated Daniel the same way.
Gordon’s father was vile and abusive, and tried to kill him at one point.
@@ronatopaz2793what the hell??
Have you ever seen Marco? He just got it from him.
But Gordon never did that with his children. All the screams to his staff were common sense.
Ramsay recognized early-on that the 'mean guy' persona added to his allure, so he leaned into it.
amazing thumbnail
What a horrible place to work in.
Gordon is probably tired and taking it out on the staff. Abusing his position, I feel, though. Getting physical with staff is out of order.
I wonder if really nobody punched him in his face after all that?
If he wasn't such a beloved legend, there'd be much less of this "he's probably tired" talk.
@@Halterin11 If? Comment is irrelevant.
@@thegee001ify ?????
Very bad energy for serving food. Even a panacotta would be blown away by these words
Clearly, though Gordon has multiple successful restaurants and some men from these clips are now some extremely popular chefs in the UK 😂
He looks strung out or highly, highly stressed. No sleep.
This was his make or break to getting where he is now so I imagine the stress was high
"I'm not scared" -THE WORDS OF A SCARED MAN
Marcos was way more constructive than this
thanks so much for this 12 minute upload, i've only seen the short version. i love Gordon and it's amazing to see his work ethic at such a young age. I really look up to him
*_"IT'S RAW!!"_*
7:23 hold up what?
You heard it right lmao
Lmao yeah he called a Hispanic a spic. It’s a wonder that he hasn’t been cancelled for something done in his past
Hahahahaha
Gordon being racist!
What does he say? Spic?
3:59 the slap on the head 😂😂😂
That was very disrespectful.. but funny
“Do you want it fking faxed?” HAHAHA
I'll be honest. I'm surprised there hasn't been a story that came out where a chef snapped and threw hands with Gordon.
Type “gordon ramsay amanda barrie”.
Jeff from hells kitchen season 1(allegedly) attempted and got his ankle messed up, Joseph from season 6 also attempted (and was actually filmed lol)
the ultimate nightmare boss
We're all so desensitized to him yelling now. Imagine how shocking this was when people first saw it.
That jump at 0:25😂
The sound quality is so weird sounds more normal in portrait in landscape it's trippy on the ears
Gordon Ramsey “you silly billy! You’re so silly that I don’t even understand you. You’re just a silly silly billy! Silly billy! Silly silly billy! So so so so silly silly billy!”
He could be so mean
You sound like your 3 years old tf
Gordon looks like after Emperor Palpatine turned into Darth Sidious (espeically in that close up shot of him when he's swearing)
I was wondering who he reminded me of 😁
No idea how treating your staff like that will make them work better. If anything it's distracting and demoralizing
and that energy bleeds into the food
Chef work is pressure. And if you can't handle pressure, you shouldn't work in the kitchen
@@nationrider767 you'd think the answer to that would be to alleviate pressure not create more pressure
@@powerplayer75 what? If a cook makes a mistake during service, one that can potentially have lasting consequences, then action is needed. You have to remember that back in the day chef ramsay served at a very high level, you'd have to be very rich to even eat the food he served, so the expectations of working well under pressure are clear. Remember that there is money and reputation on the line.
@@powerplayer75 head chefs loosing their shit in these types of restaurants are very common. I work in a kitchen myself and see all sorts of shit.
I worked under someone like this, a French man. 2,5 years of constant stress. This treatment does not make you better. It just activates your stress response. Many people get sick from it. I've seen many colleagues needing sick leave after this kind of treatment. The negative impact of this is much bigger than the positive.
That’s why he looked like he was 50
True. He is agressive, rude, negative and bully.
He puts everyone down.
He thinks is better than everyone, no humillity. Even he is, the atitude is very negative and arrogante.
Absolutely agreed. With that being said, I've certainly had managers who were generally great leaders and good people, but once every blue moon they'd get into a mood for a day. You just had to do your job, not talk back, and make it to the next day where they would be back to their normal self. Not to excuse such behavior. But it could at least partially explain why things like this happen and there isn't a kitchen rebellion or mass resignations.
Gordon was a savage!! I appreciate the fact that he was and still is a perfectionist
He's a Christian
2:30, you see gordon reach his palpatine arc
The only man whos menopaus came too early.
Manopause. LOL
Reputation on the line after leaving aubergine, father died, brother in prison, twins born premature, sold his house to fund it, honestly a miracle he didn’t kill anyone at this time, it’s hard to comprehend the level of pressure and stress they were all under
that looks like literal hell
2:42 Gordon said the same thing three different ways just to make sure he made his point 😂
7:25 goes wild, rarely ever hear that one anymore
Gordon went racist
"I've said it four times, do you want It fucking faxed?" has got to be one of the most underrated insult I've heard lol.
I mean there’s being a hard boss and being plain abusive. Wish there was one where someone just straight up lamped him.
I talked to my ex wife like this.
Her cooking didn't improve.
I think she's having her second child with her new husband. I hope she's happy
As a business owner, no one will ever care as much as you do. Least of all your employees.
Classic Gordon. We all needed a father figure like him. Right from wrong. That’s why I’m in a dead end job.
3:57 his career would have been over if he did that today 🤣🤣🤣
Chewing someone out for getting something wrong is one thing
You should let people know when they’ve made a mistake
It’s the fact he just KEEPS on that person long after they’ve acknowledged their mistake that bothers me
You tell them they’ve got it wrong, they accept it and apologise, you move on. Just kicking them over and over when they have no recourse to fight back just makes you look like a bully
Bullying? What bullying? All Gordon is doing is letting them know that they have up their game and do better. You have to be thick skinned and learn from your mistakes that's how they get better. If he was bully he would not work in a restaurant.
@@TONYCOV881 he talks about it in hot ones, he knows the bar is high and he wants people to know what they did wrong and to not make that mistake again. It may seem harsh but it’ll make them better chefs
@@matthiassuki_2546 Very true and we are living in a time where snowflakes get offended by the slightest little thing so this is one person you can't point the finger at. So it shows that his methods are right he shouts he calls them dickheads and twats etc and that's about it.
@@TONYCOV881 Getting told you made a mistake is one thing. Getting picked on over and over again even after it is all set and done is useless. I made a mistake, I'll fix it. If you just stay on my case and start pushing me around and start making shit personal for no reason, the cooking is really not the thing on my mind anymore. That means more mistakes, more stress for everyone. You can solve a problem without being an asshole when there is really no reason. Nobody is talking back to you and people are getting on with it. Seems he just needs to project his issues to someone who can't fight back.
You can talk to someone like an adult and still fix the mistake, you don't need to throw a tantrum everytime.
@@MrTVx99 He is just giving him the reminder that the standards are high, he knew what he signed for and if you can't handle the pressure get put of the kitchen as the old saying goes. Some of his chefs have been gone on be big success stories so his methods get results.
I can see Gordon's stressed, but he needs to watch it on the prodding/pushing. People could have gotten legal about that, not to mention physical.
Pussy cats like them and you are never a concern.
@@VishusVenom Did Vishu tell you that when someone put LSD in your cow meat?
@@shehrozsiddiqui8833 Weird comment from a beta fem cuckster. Did your dad give you advice on that before he put his meat in your mouth?
@@VishusVenom 🤣Think you've got a guilty conscience mate. If you want to be caught on camera acting stupidly and breaking the law be my guest. Hopefully they won't give you a laptop in jail so you can't be the little keyboard warrior you are now. Now leave me alone, I need to have some beef steak.
@@shehrozsiddiqui8833 Beef steak aka your dad’s Peter huh? You are one sick demented panty boy huh mate?
This is actually disgusting, I could never work for someone like him and IDGAF how stressed he was. I am glad Marco made him cry and Marco seems like a better mentor.
Imagine developing a passion for food, then discovering top chefs will bully you constantly. Is it really worth it?
They only "bully" you, if you don't do your job
@@merlin4306 Cobblers.
@@merlin4306 Nah, they bully you because they can, and they don't get enough any stress outlet.
Look at the late Marco Pierre White.
All he needs is to LOOK at you to understand you fucked up.
That's class.
Gordon, on the other hand, is a type of guy that dishes it out, but once Jamie Oliver makes a joke about his wife miscarriage and he goes all whiny like a big fucking crybaby.
keep crying
“Bully” lol. That’s not bullying bud.
Gordon:
"If I catch anyone crying then you all can f*** off out of here! Crying only happens by choice!"
Channeling his inner MPW
Looks like he hasn't slept in 5 years 😂😂
"Why aren't you wiping the plates? WHY AREN'T YOU WIPING THE PLATES?!"
Look, I get he's under a lot of stress but 10:43 was exceptionally fucked up and uncalled for. You should never physically abuse your staff.
Could have been worse.
that’s not rly physical abuse
@AD4REAL_ It is abuse
Blah blah blah then make sure you dont work in the kitchen
@@dantesparda4493 Twuntish handwaving, as per.
He fired a guy for drinking water from a water bottle where customers could see him?????
The thumbnail 😂
His accent was way thicker back then wow.
3:58 I laughed at this part here when he just smack the dudes head 😂
Not sure what the fuck is going on with the audio here. Sounds almost out of phase or something. Can't hear a word of what's going on. Might be worth exporting again
it's out of phase
*_"YOU DONKEY!!"_*
Nahh the “hey spic” was wild 💀😭
Hell's Kitchen ultra long forgotten pilot 😅
This audio is just awful
The visuals are good
It's from 1990's
OK Spielberg
@@Nae395 Please, call me Steven. "Steve" is fine, too.
Watch when wearing headphones, the audio of the original 1999 documentary is just as fucked
anger will lead you nowhere at the end, worst feeling ever
No wonder why he’s wrinkled up now
He looks like Emperor Palpatine now
Ok to be fair, wearing a blue plaster as a waiter is not only supporting that importance of chefs wearing them while cooking, but it helps prevent it falling off into the food while serving. That was unreasonable.
He was saying get a white skin colour one so it doesn’t stick out like dogs nuts while he carry’s the plate with your food on it
@@Dirtmcgirt22That's the problem, a white one can go unnoticed if it falls into food, food is rarely blue.
2:45 Hey you, young man, hey big boy!
Gordon is passionate about his food and his customer service but unfortunately he is an abusive bully. The staff that put up with it are stronger than him IMO.
Waaaaaahh waaaahhh
trust me considering most chefs gordon is being an angel to these lads
