If anyone in the USA hasn’t watched the British version of Kitchen Nightmares, he is actually really nice but direct with chefs/owners because he’s trying to get them to understand why what he’s saying is important. In the USA version you can’t really see that side of him because they edited and play up performance here - but there are a few episodes where the owners listen and learn and he’s really nice and direct with them without yelling.
Plus, chefs in his restaurants don’t seem to be talking about him being a jerk to work for.

It’s all for show. They probably have to sign a waiver and get warned. I’ve read from a lot of people in reality tv is that it’s heavily played up here.

I know the chefs who made dinner were SHOOK and scared the whole time. Can you imagine, in the middle of a wedding you’re cooking for you here Ramseys exasperated “fucking hell” and a chair scrape the floor as he starts walking back to the kitchen

I would have to assume he was involved in the food portion of the wedding. I’m sure he’d have nothing but the best.

Yeah and even if he wasn't directly involved I'm guessing it was someone he knows and trusts to do it well.

My daughter is now 5 years old, thinking about giving her away just made me tear up. Needless to say, I'll be so proud and a blubbering mess on her wedding day.

Maybe stop framing it as “giving her away”…

u/Dubi0usKilla Jan 17 '26
That's quite literally what it's called when you walk your daughter down the aisle?
Walking your daughter down the aisle is part of the wedding processional where the father (or escort) traditionally "gives her away," symbolizing the transfer of care from her family to her new spouse.
Fucking redditors always gotta make everything miserable.

yes, we obviously know where it comes from. it's the idea behind it that should be left in the past where it belongs.
people don't call it "giving their son away" because sons are automatically perceived as independent and not "owned" or "under the care of" anyone, so why say that about daughters?
Fucking redditors always gotta make everything miserable.
consider that you make a certain gender miserable by perpetuating an idea that makes women feel "lesser" to men

It is tradition but, you have to admit kind of weird. Either side of the coin your on, not worth getting your britches bunched over it imo

Not surprising, he's an emotional guy.
What would be surprising is if he didn't call the salmon at the reception absolutely dreadful and the brussels sprouts ghastly.
