@@tomgrant9370 Glad you mentioned this, as I was unsure if any other members of Just an Observation's audience would have sampled both shows. I say "Both" because despite the name and overall premise being identical, they could not be more different in their execution. Even right down to Ramsay's language, tone and pace during the narration. I don't think he was as popular in the USA when Series One of the UK show originally aired, so when he had finally establish himself over there he clearly did his research in order to provide for the needs of the average North American audience... Bigger production value, an attention grabbing soundtrack, a much greater sense of urgency which inherently affects his relationships with the restaurant owners and staff, and of course... Lots more foul language and outlandish behaviour. Can't fault the man for what he has achieved, really.
He still did pretty good job saving 3/10 restaurants in the end, I am pretty sure without his help 90% if not all of them would be closed down. Most of them at the moment of recording were already in pretty big debts. PS. Great vid
Exactly I've seen the 60% closure rate argument used many times and frankly I think its actually very impressive for a week or 2 of help. 75% of restaurants fail in the first year of business and like another 1/3 the second year.
@@mortemmalum7228 and those that fail it's mainly reverting to old ways with a few just too late in getting the help. and those that failed during the recession well that isn't really their fault.
It is produced television- so the producer are vetting the application videos sent by the owners and they choose what ever makes for great TV (most filth, weirdest personalities, etc.). The goal is to entertain the audience and saving a restaurant is maybe a byproduct at best
I love Kitchen Nightmares and the way it's edited and presented. I'm not sure how much is "heightened for TV" this show really is but I get the genuine sense of care from Gordon. I love the way he breaks the stubborn people on the show and often goes back and helps people out of their toxic mental cycles by digging into their pasts, even after all the crazy emotional verbal drama. I bet Gordon is sure proud of the remaining 40% though, this show perfectly nails the chaos of business
It should've been so simple for them. Just look for patterns in the failing restaurants before Gordon fixed them, make a list of common issues, then take stock of your own restaurant and make changes accordingly. Many of the reoccurring issues are: Frozen/premade food Microwaving dishes Chefs not having control over the menu Lazy/arrogant/inexperienced chefs Filthy restaurant/kitchen/freezer Rotten/expired food Overpriced food Poor treatment of staff/customers Bizarre/ugly decor Ignoring staff/customer advice Unusual dishes Oddly enough, the cleanest and most beautiful restaurant ended up being the only one he walked out on, since the owners were just plain batshit insane.
I think there’s also something to be said about how Gordon is always posed as being correct and anyone who disagrees with him is framed as being wrong. The editors certainly include a lot of clips of people praising Gordon as a genius and a god, and obviously he’s a world class chef who has demonstrably opened and maintained a lot of successful restaurants, but when I watch the show I definitely notice how because he is consistently the protagonist from episode to episode, the editors feel the need to create an antagonist or antagonists instead of portraying it as a fully collaborative project where Gordon and the owners have a common goal. Often, the owners/head chef/what have you are indeed being arbitrary and belligerent, but I doubt it’s the case at every restaurant. I may be thinking too deeply about it as well, but it seems to me that this kind of no-nonsense badass who is always right character extends far beyond Kitchen Nightmares and House in the popular consciousness, to the extent that characters who do heinous things such as Tony Soprano and Walter White are viewed through this lens even when the premise of their show is that they shouldn’t be.
beign a cook in a deli and at a McDonald's I side with Gordan alot. some of the thigns they do in these reasteraunts would not fly in a fast food joint. Consider that. Hell the kitchens cleanliness alone is shocking. you want to eat in a clean kitchen. go fast food. they are considerably cleaner if ran right
@@Revkor Gordon put a lot of passion into this series, and it's precisely because of this challenge. Gordon's point is that small restaurants can only survive when they have the same cleanliness standards as franchises, but better food.
A lot of people prefer the UK version it seems, but I love the US version for the sheer absurdity. That’s why I watch reality tv, to see something insane lmao
I enjoy watching it to this day but every episode I think "this is just the same as last time." Though isn't that essentially the essence of reality TV? Apart from Amy's Baking Company, the final boss of bad restaurants, of course.
absolutely perfect description of kitchen nightmares usa and why I love it so much, you missed out the kitchen staff sometimes walk out during service only to come back 2 mins later and in alot of episodes lol
6:21 I'm surprised he didn't find human bones at Amy's Baking Company because she admitted to over spicing a customer's food just to hurt him for criticising her so I wouldn't have put it past her to stalk certain customers, kill them, cook them then serve what was left to other customers.
During the initial COVID lockdown I binged all of Hell's Kitchen, Hotel Hell, and the first 5 seasons of Kitchen Nightmares. Yep this is how each episode goes. The only thing I'll say is I do hate how misleading the failure % of restaurants is. If you look up the history of most of those places or just how long they lasted after the show its generally several months at most. When you film a show and close down that soon after filming a new menu and design of the restaurant most likely won't save it even if you get a ton of new business you'd straight up need a massive cash infusion like a large loan and after watching 5 season I feel like no bank would consider another loan at that point for any of the restaurants.
Keep on making these videos and you're gunna blow up dude, these are really done. The algorithms gave me your Simpsons videos and a picked this as my "is more than just one video good" test and I'm subbed now. Great stuff!
wow i can’t believe this doesn’t have more views. i think you broke down the show very well, and the quality is great especially considering that this channel is new.
Thank you. In Germany we have as show which is modeld after this and is now running for 10 or even 11 years. With a German Chef of course. Now Covid-19 has made them stop for a while. They even tried to make shows to "help" restaurants in Summer/Autumn when all Germany could do, was getting rid of pandemic restrictions. But this just showed if your up against a pandemic no 2 or 3 star chef can save you. They rerun the old shows on a youtube channel and the comments are always how the Chef claims that he never has seen something that bad, and everyone is citing an episode which were it was objectivly worse.
Alright, I've watched a few of your videos now but this one is subscription-worthy. You should insert more dry humour into your newer videos, as you are quite good at it.
This was a great examination. I know towards the end Ramsay wasn't happy with the formula that had developed with the US version of Kitchen Nightmares. Would love to see your take on his replacement show 24 Hours.
Great video! The only thing I disagree with it is that I don't think Gordon plays it up that much when he gets angry about rotten food in the cold room or being served terrible quality food, I think he has genuine passion for food and high standards so that is just his natural reaction. But the formula you explained makes perfect sense to me! You definitely deserve more subs than that :)
I've been watching the show n remembering the days when I used to work in restaurants lately. I;ve now watched 3 of your vids and subscribing. Good content
“This recipe of intense emotional outbursts over increasingly low stake tasks from a bipolar millionaire against a delusional, failed, business owner and their underpaid staff is what made Gordon Ramseys’ Kitchen Nightmares a television networks, wet, dream”. That is just superb, bravo.
I much prefer the English version. No dramatic music, Gordon’s much more patient and chilled out etc. Most English reality TV shows like this are meant to be quite relaxing rather than dramatic and exciting
Thought I'd experiment and click on one of your videos that didn't seem like it would be all that personally interesting. Turns out, it's another gem! Never thought I'd be interested in checking out Kitchen Nightmares, either, but now I likely will. Thanks for all of your superb content!
I'm splitting my sides laughing at your brilliant observations and critique.... Thanks so much for the laughs...this was a really great explanation of kitchen nightmares....well done....thanks for the laughs!
I prefer the British version. The pacing isn't as good in the British version but the way it's shot makes it more real, it's like a documentary. The worse pacing might put off some though.
I have a friend with ADHD who is extremely direct and in practice tries to help others in a Gordon Ramsay fashion; he simply points out the flaws of their ways, offer a solution and further support should they need it, even if he doesn't know them that well (he's a no-filter kind of guy). Most people never make it past the defensiveness he invokes by merely suggesting that they may not be acting in their best interest, and so instead of appreciating his insights and trying to apply his suggested solutions (or even come up with their own) they basically tell him to fuck off and cease all contact with him. This has happened with all 4 of the other friends I had since before I met him, and so they all refuse to interact with him even online, yet they have no issues with me despite the fact that I openly agree with him... Some people simply care more about avoiding a scenario where they are admitting to being incompetent or stupid to a, to them it seems, annoying "know-it-all" whose insight into their own lives shouldn't be, but is greater than their own because they haven't reflected on it nearly as much. This is why I nowadays only hang out with people who has ADHD and/or autism, they tend to make their ego take the backseat when an undeniable logic is presented regardless of how embarrassing or shameful the admittance of not having realized these aspects earlier themselves.
The only cooking show that includes Gordon Ramsay I can stand to watch is Masterchef Jr. And that is partly because he's not being an abusive asshole towards the contesting children. And also because the kids are so incredibly supporting of one another (and they're also tiny little geniuses in the kitchen, and I am constantly amazed by their abilities).
He did finish his plate when it was well cooked. There also were episodes where there was no big drama and he helped a struggling business to make improvements. The video is lying about the details to make it more dramatic.
I like the Kitchen Nightmares xD they work as a background voice while Gordon yells insults it motivates me to work better. My latest map project Scarif was made with kitchen nightmares and hotel hells running in the background. You can see the final version of the map on my channel.
Kitchen nightmares is entertaining even if almost every show has the same formula every time. Biggest exception was Amys Baking Company as he walked out 🤣 Amy was CRAZY

I really hope they get the opportunity to do a third series...
The original British version is completely different, the American show is very formulaic and step by step. The UK one is lot calmer, Gordon genuinely helps them out, instead of new menu, new decor, opening night, leave. Far superior series.
Enjoyed this analysis, especially how well edited it is. You made your investigation not only informative and interesting, but quite tongue-in-cheek, and I'm glad someone finally pulled their head out of Gordon's arse long enough to put forth some much-deserved criticism. I still admire the guy, but I hate his abusive tactics. Well done, all around!
👏🙂 I love Ramsey Gordon. His passion for food and detail is always a pleasure to see ...seeing 7:30 - I agree that it sometimes gets too dramatic 😁 The saddest part is seeing that more then half the restaurants (60%) still failed in the end
Who would you be more scared of, a man with a bad temper, an indestructible, metal skeleton, and a penchant for ripping his opponents to pieces, or Wolverine?
Really loved the video! Just a short comment. I wouldn’t make a joke about Ramsey’s abuse, I’m fairly sure that has been something he has discussed as his father having actually done to him. Loved the breakdown.
I don’t get why people are obsessed with the success rate of Gordon Ramsey’s methods. It is entertainment with everything else coming in second! It’s reality tv with edits and cuts and artificial drama and of course a type casting of all the participants. It’s 1 hour of drama and redemption. We’re meant to think they succeeded because it strictly follows the Hollywood playbook and uses all the tropes (underdogs and heroes journey etc.)
Before watching the video I'll make an observation. I love HK and got sick of all the jump cuts, sound effects & immature nonsense. But after watching other cooking shows, I missed all the drama and started to allow HK to do its thing so it was entertaining haha.
i think its a shame for such a renowned chef like ramsay to participate in the downfall of restaurants, like you said theres not much help for them in the short period they are there, its all fake help.
You should do a follow up video on why his latest show 'Gordon Ramsay's 24 Hours to Hell & Back' isn't as good... As it doesn't quite get the formula right.

There's no denying it's excellent TV though
There's a big contrast between the us and the UK version. The British one is a lot more toned down and real imo. Another brilliant video
Yeah the UK ones are far more realistic and don’t like playing his over dramatic games at all
@@JustanObservation Absolutely. Far less gimmicky and more about the actual food and the restaurant imo. I much prefer the British one

There is only one time Gordon Ramsay ate all the food on his plate, and thanked the kitchen for the amazing experience.
Just a comment for the algorithm

Laughed out loud more than once. Excellent content!
Extremelllly well made video.
Really great breakdown of the shows anatomy!
I have seen one episode about an Haitian ribs shack where Gordon did finished his plate! I swear it's true!
He did finish his plate when it was well cooked. There also were episodes where there was no big drama and he helped a struggling business to make improvements. The video is lying about the details to make it more dramatic.
Ooh good videos, I just subscribed👍
Good analysis and excellently expressed.

Looks like terrifying dangerous cooking,the teachings of Gordon Wolf man looking.
Sickeningly immoral for microwaving his lunch
the thumbnail looks like he is about to stop time
Binge watching.... Bruh you're doing great

My latest map project Scarif was made with kitchen nightmares and hotel hells running in the background. You can see the final version of the map on my channel.
Hilarious sound effects!
Kitchen nightmares is entertaining even if almost every show has the same formula every time. Biggest exception was Amys Baking Company as he walked out 🤣 Amy was CRAZY
Marco abused Gordon, by catching more fish, during their fishing trip.
I love Gino, Gordon and Fred's Road Trip.
It's like the original Top Gear, but the narrative concentrates on food and it's cultural significance to their destination, rather than all things engineering and speed.
They clearly drew inspiration from Clarkson, May and Hammond's group dynamic, in that you have the loud, brash Alpha (Gordon), the small in stature Class Clown (Gino) and the sensible, yet quirky gentleman figure (Fred).
I really hope they get the opportunity to do a third series...

The saddest part is seeing that more then half the restaurants (60%) still failed in the end
60% mortality rate is pretty good considering the time spent fixing the business and that bad habits are hard to change.
my boy ramsay is a legend
Slightly undercooking mashed potato is a cardinal sin. The whole meal is ruined.
Who would you be more scared of, a man with a bad temper, an indestructible, metal skeleton, and a penchant for ripping his opponents to pieces, or Wolverine?

the show in the end did do what it set out to do, entertain.
I like this video, but I feel the tone at times is off. He should be mad about dirty storage

Do you know that Gordon Ramsey is actually Scottish? He was born in Johnstone Stoctland.
Lockdown was me with hell hotel, kitchen nightmare.
How do you get 100.000? Open a restaurant with a million cash and loose 900.000.

He has a new show “24 hrs to Hell and Back” it’s the same formula, but for some reason, I don’t like it as much.
Hilarious program
