His Kitchen Nightmares show is better. It's like Holmes on Homes for restaurants with more swearing.

I think he's an ass. But sometimes a wholly justified one.

I was eating at a friend's house, and "Kitchen Nightmares" came on. It was some restaurant in the new Orleans area (I think so anyway...I forget the name. I was the "cajun something-or-other"), and was run by two brothers. The older one had no idea how to run the place and was a total ass (he also refused to write down his recipes for fear of theft), and the chef? My gosh the chef...When the MAJORITY of the customers hated his food, he would go "PFFT! It's not bad food, it's bad OPINIONS!".

...Ramsey hated the food, sent all of it back, and when he saw how bad the kitchen was (there was GOOP in the fridge containers where the food was kept), he actually barfed. Oh, and the chef was lying about the food he was using, and about him keeping some of it frozen for months at a time. Ramsey actually told them that they had to shut the place down the first night he was there, that's how bad it was.

Understandably, there was much yelling. Honestly, that place deserved all the crap it got.

I can't speak for the other places he's covered, but man...That place was just sickening.
