The Merkinman posted:If you want to see a more sincere Alton Brown, watch Quarantine Quitchen. Seems like the vibe I got the handful of times I got books signed and talked for a minute or so to him. There's an awesome moment where him and his wife are pretty drunk and she starts talking poo poo about him owning a "unitasker" and he's giving her dirty looks, it's so good. Then she tells him to get some furikake from the closet and he hates the stuff so he's lying saying they don't have any. They're so cute.

I don’t want to be a bummer, but two of my favourite chefs absolutely lost me recently Gordon Ramsay fired 500 staff at the start of lockdown in the UK instead of using the gov backed furlough scheme. Rick Stein went one better and sacked a load of people and failed to pay them for time worked. It’s a bummer. Wholesome memes:

The weirdest thing about Kitchen Nightmares UK is that every episode has a shot of him bare chested putting on the chef's jacket. "No time to start filming while I'm buttoning up, I'll tell you what I think the restaurant's biggest problems are right now while I'm showing my nipples." Maybe weird is not the right word...

British cooking shows always have a lowkey thirst element. Watch some Nigella Lawson, you'll see.

No poo poo about Nigella. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qY2rDYUPx38 Another chef is Giana De Laurentiis, whose cooking shows almost exclusively have her wearing low-cut tops to show off her cleavage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SphkdEGQStI One good thing about her is that she actually paid her dues working her way up from culinary school & working in kitchens. I mean, she could've used her family wealth to get in (her grandfather was film producer Dino De Laurentiis) but she busted her rear end like anybody else to the point noted culinary curmudgeon Anthony Bourdain spoke highly of her in regards to other Food Network personalities.

Amphigory posted:Rhetoric-o-Tron, when you say Gordon, are you talking Gordon Ramsay? I didn't know he was on the outs, but (some) Americans do (did? I don't keep up anymore) enjoy watching a bitchy British man telling other Americans off. When he came over here he did shave away most of his persona from the BBC days, leaving "screaming man" as his dominant trait, which does get a little repetitive.

A goon put a tattoo on him and had really good things to say about him, and I know people who saw his live traveling show (basically good eats in person) and they said he was super warm and friendly. Also Guy Fieri famously visits small mom&pop shops or local flavor places that could use a boost, and the place he hit in Columbus at the North Market (think fancy market with food stalls) was a Nepali place that still has a photo of him being there thats signed. Such a small thing for Guy to do, and I've definitely heard people point out the Guy photo then go order something. Good dude, cannot wait to rename Columbus to Flavortown. edit: https://www.foodnetwork.com/restaurants/oh/columbus/momo-ghar-restaurant hell yeah Lobsterboy has a new favorite as of 17:07 on Jun 26, 2020 |

I remember coming up a lot of the hate was basically from a place of "Who the gently caress is this radioactive goblin-man hawking nacho cheese at me?" It was the sunglasses. They put me in a rage. I, too, am happy to hear that he's a decent guy.

ChickenWing posted:Kitchen Nightmares UK is probably my favourite Ramsay show just because of how decent of a human he is. Like, he knows his poo poo, and he's not gonna tolerate your nonsense, but also he's not gonna go abusively off the handle at the drop of a hat. His shows on Fox in the US are curated for drama. The judges on Masterchef are dicks, Hell's Kitchen is the worst service of your life every night, Kitchen Nightmares' first episode had a fistfight. Hell's Kitchen is interesting, he'll push a contestant right to the edge, but won't push them over. But generally, Fox is all about shouty Gordon. His UK shows are 100% different. For example, you should watch all 7 of the Great Escapes videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTIkSvz333k

I've eaten at two Guy Fieri-endorsed restaurants and both of them rocked my socks; one of them is local and now my go-to BBQ place (or it will be one day, again, soon, I hope).

He still totally could be, and I wouldn't be surprised if hes a bit of a control freak with how detail oriented he is (like, he used to pre-record Good Eats segments and listen to them on the non-shown ear so he could pace himself properly), but at least real person interactions he seems totally fine.

I don't think I could have worked on the Good Eats set because I would have ruined every take where he mentioned not liking single use tools in his kitchen by loudly snorting derisively.

People accepted it because prestige chefs are apparently mostly insane and rule their kitchens like feudal lords

Hes not a jerk, but he is pretty openly a dom who constantly refers to himself as 'Daddy' and makes contestants use BDSM gear on the show.   quote:We met Alton Brown at a show he did here - we paid the extra cash to meet him and get a blurry cellphone pic with him and have him sign a picture. He noticed my (male) companion’s pocket watch, and proceeded to order him to take it out of his pocket. It wasn’t obnoxious, it was in a Dom tone that brooked no argument. So he complied. When he found out it wasn’t wound, and so not working, he was deeply disappointed, and told him to do better next time.
