Current Events > Anyone ever watch the UK Kitchen nightmares.

(+) Yeah! (+)

It is very interesting to watch, not just about the cooking part but just how different the UK is from America in many ways.

Like so many of their restaurants just look like people houses. There is some of that in the states but not like it seems to be over there. And like so many of the stores don't even look like Restaurants from the outside. I just find it so interesting.

Then when he goes to Wales, I really have hard time understanding them. ( This is a me issue , not an issue with the great people of Wales).

Lastly he isn't as mean to them as he is Americas. I wonder if just hams it up for the TV in America or are American places that much worse.

He's still really mean to the Frenches, but that's understandable.

Thanks for bringing that up. I was thinking that but people say I jump to conclusions about that stuff to fast so I didn't touch on it. But yeah he really hates the French.

Edited to add: And I think he trained in France so I don't get it .

I've seen only a few episodes of both shows.
The American one is much, much different on purpose. The American show is based around drama and excitement. It uses more cuts, drama, music, etc.

I forget the name of the show, Juniour Masterchef? Or something like that where he's working with kids. It's completely different in how he is with the American places.

Hes a dick in the US purely for ratings

It's bloody raw old chap!

Welsh people are hard to understand sometimes, tbf.

---

I have been binging all day, and a few people like live in their restaurant. That is pretty neat, that would save so much money.

He's definitely playing a character but some of the stuff I saw also warrants his over-the-top reactions tbh

Or he just doesn't respect Americans as much lol. Which wouldn't make me like him less. I prefer the mich funnier American version. Shits hilarious

i watched the uk version first. then was super disappointed at the us version...

---

So it's not just me, YouTube been recommending this stuff to everybody?

Also any examples? I want to hear Welsh people talk please.

the US version is more crazy and the food is bizarre

---

Yeah watched a lot of it on BBC America when they used to show it all the time.

same!

uk version is one of my favorite shows ever

---

I saw it first before the American version. It's almost night and day. The UK version is much more real.

Still, I do like the somewhat trashy American version as well.

---

My favorite thing about it compared to the American version is it gives so much more time with the staff. It's not just Gordon yelling at the head chef and owner for an hour.

Maybe France is to him like that one buddy you really care about but are always taking the piss out of.

He is always super nice to the wait staff.

He still destroys the owner and often the head chef too

The UK version was such a fantastic show and really made me a Ramsay fan

then the US version ruined it. It was so bad compared to the original

This yeah. I actually like watching Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares more than regular Kitchen Nightmares because it's more chill. Like, there's very little production music compared to the American one which has dramawave blaring almost nonstop lol.

Quaint is a good way to describe the uk version

To defend the American version a bit, without it we wouldn't have moments like "Hello, my name is NINOOOOOOO!" or Amy's Baking Company. The US version is turn off your brain kind of fun.

Yup. CEmen ain't no fun lol. The American version had some of the funniest moments on reality tv. The hardheadedness of Americans makes for good tv.

I just saw that Nino thing, and his brother was such a bastard. He is one of those people who can speak well and defending well when he is really as bad Nino.

Sorry I can't remember names of the shows in question. It was combo of the accent and odd English terms for things. I am still trying to find out what commie means .

He does. American TV is more about drama.

---

Oh he has another show like 24 hours to hell and back. No I know all reality shows are a little fake.. but this one has too much fakeness in it.

---

I love how how he swears even more in the uk version

In the U.K. version hes a dick to the head chef mostly. In the US version hes a dick to the owners

Pro-Tip, CE!

Pluto TV has a Gordon Ramsay channel on it that plays a mix of his shows/documentaries. BUT the best part is that they're all uncensored.

---

I like going between the two versions of the show just to see the differences. They both have their merits.
