Gordon Ramsay on Leno

[starlady]

I just watched Gordon Ramsay appeasr on Leno (about 30 seconds ago). I thought it was hilarious! He was making fun of Leno, he was funny, not mean (ish), and made what looked like a tasty dish. Also admited that he likes In and Out Burger LOL!

Anyone else see it?

Today's Serious Eats features a response from GR about the "Little Gordon" videos circulating thru caterer.com

3rd installment was in my e-bin this morning.

:-) Not at as good as Home or Restaurant, but still funny!

I found the little GR segment on Leno really hilarious too!

I have heard that while GR was portrayed as a mean chef in the HK show, he was in person much nice and caring to his staff. He does swear and has high expectation for people who work in the kitchen, but all those mean comments and ill-tempered emotions were mainly for "good" TV.

His restaurant in NYC is superb!

And his staff are very loyal and stick with him for years. Low turnover by industry standards.

Looks like another one's in the work for "school dinner". These are perfect! Wonder what Big Gordon thinks? Probably loves 'em! LOL

That's just too hilarious for words Many thanks for the link! Hope Big G. has seen it.

I''ve seen Ramsay on Leno's show twice, maybe more. After the first time, it's really hard to tell which is a repeat, because the schtick is the same.
And that's sad.
Leno likes food.
Ramsay makes good food.
Together they make comedy and food gets short shrift.

He set a new record for bleeped-out expletives and seemed somewhat nervous to me. Probably because he was trying to do a reined-in version of his Hell's Kitchen approach.

I've also gotten hooked on Kitchen Nightmares (he's bringing that one to the US in the Fall) and also on Boiling Point. He's a kick so long as you don't have to actually work for him. .I'd last about 5 minutes at best

It is a simple decision for me to make to not even work for him for a nanosecond. I think he is classless and using a maximum of four letter words is NO claim to fame.

I am amazed at the series HELL"S KITCHEN and wonder where it will be in Los Angeles. Would love to give it a try and then get into a big snith over anything that was wrong ! Not my usual style, but I think I am learning what he might respect! lol

I thought he was very funny! I liked the whole segment... The dish he made looked sooo good!

I didn't see it, but I just discovered "Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares" on BBC America, and I cannot get enough of it. I have been TIVOing it and it is really well done and hilarious.

[nutrition]

He maybe a good chef, but he lacks any talent at humor. Just 4 letter words and silly laughs follow. More like a teenager looking for someone to verbally abuse or shock other.
Throwing food around the stage is not my idea of fun.
He doesn't show much respect for anything or anybody.

My guess is that he was probably told to make a mess since it makes for good tv. It brings to mind the episode of Late Night with Nigella Lawson. She worked so hard to keep and appalled look off her face as Letterman tosses the food around.
