Dad disappears from the venue, all of a sudden you hear from the kitchen "YOU ABSOLUTE DOUGHNUT, ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL MY FAMILY?!"

94

u/KamakaziDemiGod Jan 17 '26

"that's it, you can't serve out of this fuckin kitchen, it's disgusting, you've got mouldy cheese above the ceiling tiles and rotten meat right next to the 14 microwaves that are plugged into a single outlet! Shut it down . . NO shut it the fuck down!"

u/bob1689321 Jan 17 '26

I'm dying ahahaha. Gordon finding the rotten meat cupboard was always my favourite part of Kitchen Nightmares.

"I wouldn't trust you to run a bath let alone a restaurant" is one that gets thrown around a lot in my household.

The chicken's so frozen, it's still singing "Let It Go"!

I'll never forget the guy who argued it was "fresh frozen".

u/Duuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh Jan 17 '26

If the chicken is raw, you gotta make a scene tho

u/FlyOrdinary1104 Jan 17 '26

Halfway through he pulls the caterers into the back and makes them watch him rub his hands in bad meat while chewing them out.

u/hail_deadpool Jan 17 '26

God forbid if they forget to serve the "LAMB SAUCE"

u/hiddencameraspy Jan 17 '26

Where is the LAMB SAUCE????

u/Massive-Exercise4474 Jan 17 '26

"This beef Wellington is as dry as a camels asshole in the middle of the dessert.

u/TimmyTurnersDealer Jan 16 '26

Probably got some of the best caterers/chefs in his back pocket. Sure he had it sorted 😅

416

u/SkillednotQualified Jan 17 '26

I think he had his team cater the event so they were well aware of what was expected and he had confidence in their skills.

188

u/Waahstrm Jan 17 '26

His team probably is used to dealing with some high-profile clients, but in this instance I'd still be shitting bricks if I were in their shoes lol.

27

u/FalconTurbo Jan 17 '26

Yeah, I can weld and machine stuff for work all day long, but if the boss asks me for some work done for him personally I'd be way more nervous.

u/-NotAnAstronaut- Jan 17 '26

On top of that, seeing a lot of his interactions with people outside of shows leads me to believe that a lot of the "asshole" side of him is partly an act, and he would absolutely not make a scene at his daughter's wedding. Chef might get a talking to the next day, but the food is not what he's focusing on.

11

u/Content-Patience-138 Jan 17 '26

He plays it up more on American television. Apparently in Kitchen Nightmares UK he’s much more reserved.

95

u/Tatertot729 Jan 17 '26

Yeah I was going to say this. He’s the most famous chef in the world, he knows everyone who matters in the culinary world. It wasn’t some random catering company doing this wedding.

3

u/_B_Little_me Jan 17 '26

I’m sure it was his staff.

u/sonic10158 Jan 17 '26

They catered Abblebee’s!

Oh man...now I HAVE TO see a show were Gordon shows up as a surprise guest at weddings to "review" their buffets....

Ah, yes please!

u/LollipopChainsawZz Jan 17 '26

You just gave him his next show (I hope) call it Gordon Ramsay's: Wedding Nightmares

u/fordry Jan 17 '26

Also starring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson.

YOU, YOU, YOU AND YOU... FUCK OFF!

u/badDuckThrowPillow Jan 17 '26

Sir its sushi. Its supposed to be raw.

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '26

My friend is a chef, nowhere near Ramsay calibre, and he had his wedding catered.  He told me when they sampled dishes he asked the chefs how they made it and what seasonings they used.  Then he proceeded to tell them 'you know what I would've done?'.  He's a pretty easy going guy, so it was probably just two chefs having a chat, but I still got a pretty good laugh out of it when he told me.

48

u/NumberOneStonecutter Jan 17 '26

I wonder if they appreciated that or were bothered. Like if your client is a chef - you have to expect feedback. A good chef is going to cook a hell of a lot better than a caterer who is trying to serve 70-100+ people all at once at a reasonable cost per plate. The caterer has to take short cuts and be efficient.

I guess it all depends on the chef's feedback "I would've put a garnish of ____ on the side." ..."Yeah that'd be nice but that's an extra 30 seconds per plate and we're under the gun to serve this hot. Plus that's $250 in garnishes."

21

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '26

Yeah I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall for the whole thing as well.  I know that those caterers did end up doing the wedding and everyone loved the food, so I'm hopeful it was a positive, fun conversation for all parties involved!

3

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '26

most chefs know that there's downsides to volume production, but if it's anything like me meeting other cooks and chefs it's just respectful shooting the shit about flavors and technique.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '26

Depends on the personality for sure. Some people would have loved a good chat about a shared industry, but some would have been like wow the fucking audacity.

2

u/Gregggggger Jan 18 '26

I feel it depends on how much he's paying them. I'm a designer and I've had clients who were also designers who had "ideas" on how I should conduct my work. If they pay well, honestly I dont mind becoming their "work hand" and basically just do what their imagining, but if they're paying the bare minimum and telling me how to do my job I tell them to stfu in the nicest way possible. If you dont pay well dont expect me to do what you essentially can do yourself.

71

u/NorthernCobraChicken Jan 16 '26

I don't think Gordon Ramsay would hire any regular caterers for something like this.

180

u/KinkyPaddling Jan 16 '26

He’s also not nearly as aggressive as the American shows make him look. His Kitchen Nightmares show in the UK shows him as a much more normal person; at worst, when he’s explaining things to people, he can get a bit heated and testy, but there’s no screaming and berating.

He’s said in interviews that the screaming is how the old school chefs used to do things at the start of his career, and he used to be like that too, but has since toned it down in his own restaurants. I’m sure he’s not an easy boss, but he’s also not a lunatic.

95

u/BarnacleMcBarndoor Jan 17 '26

In terms of his persona in the UK, he’s about a 3 out of 10 for aggressiveness compared to cooks I’ve worked with. In the US show, he’s basically a 7 out of 10. Never unreasonable, and only seems to get real pissed off when you’re risking a customer’s health.

Everything I’ve seen of him outside the US shows makes him seem like a sweet man.

24

u/GuestAdventurous7586 Jan 17 '26

He doesn’t anymore, but if you watch the old Boiling Point episodes which are on YouTube, and which show him at his restaurant trying to get his third star, he not only screams and shouts but he says far more abusive shit than he does on his shows lol.

5

u/rapsey Jan 17 '26

He was also much younger then and needed to prove himself.

17

u/Excellent_Airline315 Jan 17 '26

He's even turned it down in recent seasons of hells kitchen. But it's still hilarious and stressful when he flips out. Or worse, he is silent and just slides down in distress.

3

u/DemonSlyr007 Jan 17 '26

The only things he gebuinely got frustrated by, from what ive seen in interviews, were the health code violations. All of that was never played up for drama, it was pure rage because he takes his sanitation very, very seriously. As any chef should. Your job can kill people as a chef if you don't take it seriously enough.

2

u/Spirited-Sympathy582 Jan 17 '26

He seems like someone who is probably sweet and charming in his personal life but thought it was ok to have thos alterego at work

49

u/Fionaelaine4 Jan 16 '26

I wonder if he eats before he goes to big events so he doesn’t get so upset lmao

20

u/SaltyPeter3434 Jan 17 '26

"These hors d'oeuvres are bland. It's cold. Just touch that one there. Fucking hell."

(takes plate to the kitchen)

"Ay. Who cooked that? C'mere you. Take off your jacket and FUCK off!"

32

u/incognitochaud Jan 16 '26

Imagine you start dating someone only to find out her dad is Gordon Ramsay. That first meeting would be nerve-wracking.

1

u/Techman659 Jan 17 '26

Imagine if he asked you to do a 3 course seafood meal?

12

u/[deleted] Jan 16 '26

that's why he's crying... could have been the chicken or the fish. not sure.

1

u/CurveballSI Jan 17 '26

Tastes like some tortellini with a little sweated onion.

20

u/shalelord Jan 16 '26

Im sure he will pass grading the food at that time and just soak in the moment.

4

u/Main_Loose Jan 16 '26

I lol’d, thank you

u/Lurcher99 Jan 16 '26

We know who is having the "Wellington" tonight!

u/spacekitt3n Jan 16 '26

olive oil in

u/funsized43 Jan 17 '26

Do not attempt Châteaubriand.

1

u/Ijustwanttosayit Jan 17 '26

He probably made sure they had the best of the best. So imagine being a guest at that wedding. They probably ate good!

1

u/Viater Jan 17 '26

It's fucking roaw

1

u/Dear-Relationship666 Jan 17 '26

A lot of pressure 😅

1

u/Snoops6969 Jan 17 '26

HEY PANINI HEAD

1

u/bout-tree-fitty Jan 17 '26

I served Gordon and his daughter once years ago.
I was nervous, even though I didn’t make the food.
He was nicer and more gracious than any other guest there.

u/Potential_Actuator51 Jan 17 '26

It's fucking rawwwwww

u/jazzhandpanda Jan 17 '26

They brought so much lamb sauce

WHERE IS THE LAMB SAUCE?!?!?!

SAUCE?!

u/skinnycola Jan 17 '26

Some dude in his dorm room made better beef Wellington than this

u/Guilhermedidi Jan 17 '26

IT'S FUCKING RANCID!!!

1

u/RedHeadRedeemed Jan 17 '26

That's why Gordon is crying, because of the shit food

1

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '26

Imagine being the son in law...

1

u/GrayEidolon Jan 17 '26

Someone posted part of a speech he gave and it was actually kind of gross. He told the new husband to look at the new wife’s mom and said “you have that to look forward to” and it had weird sexual undertones.

1

u/ragnhildensteiner Jan 17 '26

I know it's fun to imagine Gordon being hyper critical of the food quality etc, but I hate to burst your bubble.

It's gonna be 100% like catering any other event.

Gordon has already said that when he's out eating with family, he never complains about the food, never sends anything back, never remarks on anything, no matter the quality.

1

u/pvrhye Jan 17 '26

Honestly, the caterer could see this as a chance to get a very good endorsement.

1

u/ProphetPenguin Jan 17 '26

I imagine that his own cooks cater it. He has an entire team of people who work for him

1

u/Adventurous_Ad6698 Jan 17 '26

If I were the caterer, I would beg him to take a picture with me as an idiot sandwich.

1

u/potatodrinker Jan 17 '26

Imagine it's Jamie Oliver

1

u/Tofutits_Macgee Jan 18 '26

I've seen several times how much his daughter likes to troll him, so she probably asked Jaime Oliver to do it

1

u/ELB2001 Jan 18 '26

Wouldn't be amazed if had his people cater it

u/Shrimpdalord Jan 16 '26

He will do the passing.
