A British chef? Oxymoron much?

Brits are going to teach the world about FOOD? Do they even know what spices are? Does ANYONE else think BEANS on TOAST is GOOD?

Next we'll get some Jamaican bobsledders, one-handed clapping, military intelligence and accurate estimates.

After seeing him attempt and fail at making a "fancy grilled cheese" I don't even know if he's really a chef or just an actor. What kinda chef uses cheese that doesn't melt to make a grilled cheese sandwich?!

It's all just a character, as others are saying. Uncharted made me feel like he's bad ass, even if its pretty scripted

Not a great grilled cheese sandwich chef

His video on how to make eggs has totally changed how I prepare them, now breakfast is my favorite meal. I like his cooking more than his reality TV schtick.

It amazes me how many people still don't realize his asshole schtick is just him playing a character

He yells at people for using thermometers on Hell's Kitchen. Hey carpenter, how dare you use a nail gun! One of the most useful tools for making sure food is safe and he thinks it makes you less of a chef.

I can't stand him but I don't find any entertainment from people being assholes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I like him.

Is a good watch.

He can't cook a grilled cheese worth a shit. The cheese didn't even melt.

"This man just served a medium rare grilled cheese"

Puts on a show for the American audiences. Otherwise seems okay.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This is it. His shows are overproduced for Americans, using cheap effects and dramatization for terrible reality TV. So I never watch him.

I think it'd be a lot different if I saw a version that was just what happened. Like kitchen nightmares but without all of the dramatics. That I would watch all the time. So of course they don't make it.

Is it really for American audiences? He seems the same to me in the UK Kitchen Nightmares

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

In the U.K. he's way less hard on folks then in the states. Of course, it could also be they're way less combative. No Amy's Baking Companies in the U.K. I don't think.

I think he's probably a dick but his insults always crack me up.

I mean, how many winning chefs has he called shit and lazy? That's just how he does publicity.
