@@TheMrRobert SAME exact this just happened to me and I raced to the comments and see this LOLLLLLL, Gordon was on POINT with the roasting in this one.
Practicing radiologist?! Three time Olympian?! Well, if that’s not the perfect training and necessary experience for running a restaurant, I don’t know what is!
Gordon was smart to visit her in her doctor's office where she feelt confident in her achievements. That was the right environment for her be open about other areas in her life which are more challenging.
Kingston Cafe closed in November 2012 BUT reopened in November 2013, with a new dance floor, some new menu items, the old, themed nights and an expanded bar. They reduced the opening hours to evening service on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Kingston Cafe closed as a restaurant in August 2018, however the space is still used for catering and events where both food and drink are served.
not at all? it went on for almost 6 more years, 80% of restaurants fail at 5 or more, it was most likely sold for profit and put into a bigger investment. it's all always part of a bigger trade, learn @@emempotmendez87
Honestly, of all the combatative, toxic, and control freak owners, she was one of the easiest to get through to. She is clearly an intelligent person, she just let negative emotions cloud her judgment. I was really amazed how quickly Gordon's visit in her office changed her attitude.

They lasted several years after Gordon's visit. The episode was first aired in 2011, and they closed the restaurant in 2018, and it apparently still serves as an event catering place. So you could potentially reserve an evening at the restaurant for your birthday. I think. Impressive, Gordon. However, Kyone doesn't work there anymore.
It was actually closed in 2012 and reopened in 2013 with all new staff and half the menu was changed, not to mention it became less of a restaurant and more of a karaoke-dance bar
Kingston Cafe closed in November 2012 BUT reopened in November 2013, with a new dance floor, some new menu items, the old, themed nights and an expanded bar. Gordon revisits in a Kitchen Nightmares revisited episode and meets Una, he finds out that Keone is no longer involved as he is focusing on his education. She has fired all the chefs and the serving staff and rehired all new staff. Gordon says the food is fresh, delicious and more spicy. Gordon meets new chef Christie and Una is very appreciative of Gordon's help. Yelp reviews and Trip Advisor reviews were very mixed after the show. Customers post both positive and negative reviews on the food quality and the level of service received. Edit: Thank you for 1k like fam 🐐
She had to fire all old staff because she’s embarrassed by Gordon in front of them all, for how cocky she is, she can’t stand to see those people around her anymore. I wonder if she asked all new staff to call her Dr. Morris too?
Apparently Keone works in marketing, as far away from his mother I'm guessing. I heard the Cafe only does catering now too instead of being an actual restaurant anymore?
One of the few owners who had my respect from the start, regardless of her mistakes with the business Immigrant, Olympian, doctor, business owner, and she raised an intelligent young man. She may be stubborn, but I get the impression that stubbornness carried her through a lot of hard times
I really appreciate that Gordon always refers to the Dr. Morris by doctor just like how we refer to Gordon by chef, just seems so respectful to refer to a person by their title and it just warmed my heart to see Gordon always exercising that respect
You can tell Gordon very much admired her accomplishments and had great respect for her, imo, he was kinda holding back a bit on the criticism and emphasizing it more to her that it wasn't a personal attack. She just needed a little "coaching" with how to run a restaurant.
I feel this woman when all your life its always been just you you and you. It gens to apoint where you dont know how to ask for help. Trying to be strong for everybody and yourself. Its hard.
Dr Phil is not even a licensed psychologist and it has been shown many times that he actually does more damage to the person than helping them. He uses mentally ill or unstable people and exploits them on national tv for entertainment and money.
@@j.stanisic1586 yeah it kinda makes me sick when some kid were forcefully taken out of the house on camera in the middle of the night and invasion of personal space. kid didn’t even gives full consent, usually visibly uncomfortable and refusing to go. therapy is better imo.
@@j.stanisic1586 He does have a PhD in clinical psychology, though, and practiced for 20 years, he just stopped renewing his license - probably because it makes him able to do the shows without getting in legal trouble. I agree, however, that his show is disgusting and he's clearly exploiting his guests.
„I’m not afraid of Chef Ramsay“ shows immediately that she’s got the wrong attitude. She viewed him as enemy right from the start, instead of help and a friend.
This episode is home to my favourite Ramsay quote from all the series. "Um Gordon if you continue like that Jesus Christ actually going to appear." "I hope so, because I think that's what's needed right now." xD
I cried many times during this episode. Chief Ramsey wasn't only a helper and a saver, but he became a psychologist doctor to ease the owner's wounds and bad memories. That's stopping her from looking onto the reality instead of being held into her old miserable childhood history. Thanx to you chief Ramsey from your fans in Saudi Arabia . We love you.
She's one of those people that think that because she's a doctor that she's automatically the most important person in the room and everyone just has to respect them just because
She is dominating other people and dont listen to truth...... brrrrr. But so easy to play victim card and cry. But its a tactical typical female privilege.
Yes, they do. Many of my friends from Jamaica work, hunt, and cook. Thats the beauty of not being surrounded by constant internet buzzing. It's just not in their culture to be "chronically online" or whatever the current phrase is for internet addiction.
son: *patiently waits for gordon to finish talking to bring up his agreement* mom: "shut up, he's talking" mom, two minutes later: *literally talking over gordon*
Doctor, Olympian and damn restaurant owner, JESUS no wounder she behaves as a perfectionist. Accomplished so much. Here I am happy with my master's certificate lol
after all the horrible people i've seen among the owners on the KN, this episode is really heartwarming. Not without it's trauma and the owner stuck in her mistakes, but she really turned out to be a good at heart person and actually loving her son, too. So I'm really happy for them in the end, without the usual sad feel that this all will just come back to what it started as, as soon as Ramsay's team sets their foot out the door.
All roasts aside this is one of my favorite episodes of kitchen nightmares. She may have been stubborn at first but that is because she's not used to asking for help but she really came around in the end. You gotta respect her, she sacrificed a lot for her son and that came from a woman without a mother.
I respect that, but I’m honestly tired of hearing that. I know our older generation parents have had a hard life, but they’ve past that trauma onto their children and have left a lot of them anxious. I respect her goals, achievements, her mentality, but uh-uh.
Goodness, if you go read her CSU alumni page you can see just the vast amount that she's achieved in her life. Even putting the restaurant aside she'd achieved more in her first 30 years of life than many will achieve in their entire life. And yet she was still so lacking in self confidence and so afraid of failure. It really goes to show how important those formative years are that a person such as Dr Morris could still be facing that negative impact of losing her mother young so many years later. I hope she continues to do well in life, and I hope Keone has found his passion in life also.
Yep. Compared with the incompetent sociopaths we usually see on RKN, this woman is an incredible human being, whose achievements few of us could ever hope to match. And maybe fear of failure is one of the things that drives people who operate at the highest level? Having said that, he's being deliberately picky when he criticises his rice for looking like a breast implant. That neat dome is pretty much how every major restaurant serves rice. I think it's called a timbale?
Wonderful to see dr morris turn around, accept the constructive criticism and loose the stress she was under.. a really inspiring woman. I hope she and her son build a successful restaurant. They deserve it
Most of the owners aren't looking for help, they're looking for validation from someone famous in the culinary world, like Ramsay. They want to pin the blame for their failure on either the employees or the community, so being called out makes them defensive.
"I'm not used to... asking for help" The way she paused before saying it, combined with the way her face physically moves during it, really hit my heart. It is relatable but most importantly, I see my parents in her in that moment.
yea some ppl just have no clue to be honest... ive been sweating like crazy ever since i was a child even when thin and healthy and doing sport whatever nothing changed it has always been the same i dont know why and deodorant wont stop you from sweating.
Recipe for Kitchen Nightmares episode: -If this is Family's restaurant, the family's relationship torn apart -If there's a couple as the owners, their relationship is torn apart -If the owners are friends for a long time, there's always someone among them who is lazy and irresponsible -Arrogant owners or chefs only to get redemption arc later -Frozen food -Chef Mike -Disgusting kitchens and fridges -Defrosting or rotten food -First Dinner Service is always disaster And one more thing: the servers are always brutally honest.
"I could've grown a beard by the time they bring my meal" That's hands-down the best customer comment on late service in the history of the show. *NO DOUBT*
I also love a comment from another customer at Zeke's restaurant, who waited a couple hours for his seafood..."it's taking so long for our food, because I think they have to catch the shrimp first!", lol
her restaurant skills aside tht woman has a large pair of balls. coming to another country on her own, becoming an olympian athlete three times and a doctor, then opening a restaurant. thats a bunch of accomplishments there. Also Gordon Ramsay is what i imagine a pen and paper character to look like if you max out charisma.
Fun Fact- Dr.Morris participated in the 1964, 1968 and 1972 Olympics, earning fourth place in the 200-meter race in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and a gold medal in the 1966 Caribbean Games. She's currently working toward completion of a law degree at Abraham Lincoln Law School although I don't have an update on whether she has obtained the degree yet or not
I think the Doctor is scared to fail but really she's accomplished so much. I think her son genuinely wants to help and he believes he can do a good job in the process and make it good for everyone at the same time.xx
The first 20 minutes made me think "This is going to be an epic episode, she's so stubborn and narrowminded!" The next 20 minutes made me think "This is an epic episode!"
Weirdly, I can kind of sympathize with the doctor. Imagine if you spend your whole life dragging yourself onward, achieving goal after goal by just pulling through. It is really hard to make that change towards putting other peoples judgement above your own. It is one thing to be in denial out of arrogance, but a completely different affair when it is because all you had was you through all your life. I can also understand the bitterness of her son, though. Imagine being raised by a person that knows nothing but individual perseverance and dedication. You watch the person you love and admire the most run herself down into a corner without realizing it and unable to be helped. The frustration must be colossal.
To be honest I don't think you should have to say "weirdly". Everyone has their own lives, ambitions and stories. Nobody is without quirks or flaws. I love watching Gordon Ramsay videos, but I find his stans jump on anyone in these shows who doesn't automatically worship him. You have to understand these are people at the end of their tether, who've put their all into something (generally - others are just awful, but she seems really genuine).
@@itsashton3409 I do though, since in this episode, she had to fill the role of the antagonist to Gordon and got heavily molded into it. Especially in the US version of Kitchen Nightmares, the emphasis on drama and conflict is much more prevelant than in the british version. Most of Gordons outbursts (if not all of them) are played up for the show to make it more interesting. He always has an antagonist to fight, too, since it creates excitement and draws the viewer in more effectively. Also, production heavily cuts and rearranges dialog in the show, especially in this episode. Nowhere is this made more obvious than when Gordon meets Madame at the beginniong of the episode. When she introduces herself to him, the "doctor morris" is edited in so badly, that you can hear thar the soundclip used is borrowed from one of the servers. She is made up to be hard relate, since noone wants to identifywith a micro-managing crazywoman. I totally get what you mean, though. I mostly whatch the US series to find those flaws in sound design, to be honest.
@@Abfallkannibale She's narcissistic and manipulative the son was only trying to help her yet in her "breakdown" she pinned blame on him. Boo hoo. Horrible woman.
Yeah, Gordon tells her what’s wrong with the rice, and the thing she wants to immediately focus on is the unease/hurt she is feeling. Is this how you communicate? Gordon asks her why is she stubborn, and gets no answer. Gordon asks her why is she in denial, and gets no answer. Ever try to work things out with a person like this? It’s impossible, because nothing gets done and nothing goes forward, because these people will endlessly twist everything said as an attack on their person, dancing around the actual subject until the one bringing up issues just gives up out of frustration.
Brit here, and I don't know why but I always love hearing a second British accent pop up on KN USA. Off the top of my head the lady in the ep w/the French chef too. Just puts a smile on my face!
It's just amazing how Gordon can flip from a swearing screaming boss into a highly effective personal, work, and relationship therapist when it's required.
9:16 "I'm not afraid of Chef Ramsay, even if he had horns I wouldn't be afraid of him" Dunno about the horns but he has years of experience and he is an absolute savage when it comes to criticize people
I love how Keone just touched his mum's shoulder, completely ignoring her nonsense excuse about the impossibility of cooking Jamaican food fresh every day. Great response lol
This show ended many years back. But the guy who manage the account is a legend. Cheers to you buddy. P. S. Love this show and I wish someday it come back.
We all hope for that, but sadly ramsay himself has said it won't as, after all the time and effort and money he was putting in to these places, too many of them were reverting back to their old ways or closing down. Which is fair enough considering what he does for these places, it must be tough seeing a big percentage of them fail
Gordon: "How tough on a scale of 1 to 10" Keone: "35" I lost it. Damn, after getting to 20:00 she had me in tears. She is so ridiculously strong and has so much on her shoulders and she won't let anyone help her and that is overwhelming
She is a really good person, but the way she grew up she always needed to be tough and hard headed to get somewhere. So much so that it took it to the level she always uses it, even when she is wrong. Glad she took the help, shes a great person
When she said her mother died when she was at such a young age . That really made me understand how rough it must have been for her , and she still accomplished so much and is a great mother as well ! Wow such an impressive woman ❤
Yeah when you’ve been independent for so long it’s difficult to let others help you. It feels like they are taking your power but they aren’t and I had to learn that
"Keone, be quiet. He's talking." Said seconds before she began to constantly interrupt Ramsay.

Gordon revisits in a Kitchen Nightmares revisited episode and meets Una, he finds out that Keone is no longer involved as he is focusing on his education. She has fired all the chefs and the serving staff and rehired all new staff. Gordon says the food is fresh, delicious and more spicy. Gordon meets new chef Christie and Una is very appreciative of Gordon's help. Yelp reviews and Trip Advisor reviews were very mixed after the show. Customers post both positive and negative reviews on the food quality and the level of service received.
Edit: Thank you for 1k like fam 🐐

I always scroll down for this comment. Thank you!
She had to fire all old staff because she’s embarrassed by Gordon in front of them all, for how cocky she is, she can’t stand to see those people around her anymore. I wonder if she asked all new staff to call her Dr. Morris too?
@@dafarii thank you :)
Apparently Keone works in marketing, as far away from his mother I'm guessing. I heard the Cafe only does catering now too instead of being an actual restaurant anymore?

One of the few owners who had my respect from the start, regardless of her mistakes with the business
Immigrant, Olympian, doctor, business owner, and she raised an intelligent young man.
She may be stubborn, but I get the impression that stubbornness carried her through a lot of hard times
I wish I can like this 1 mil times

I really appreciate that Gordon always refers to the Dr. Morris by doctor just like how we refer to Gordon by chef, just seems so respectful to refer to a person by their title and it just warmed my heart to see Gordon always exercising that respect
She is so pretty and beautiful, black women are so gorgeous.
You can tell Gordon very much admired her accomplishments and had great respect for her, imo, he was kinda holding back a bit on the criticism and emphasizing it more to her that it wasn't a personal attack. She just needed a little "coaching" with how to run a restaurant.
I feel this woman when all your life its always been just you you and you. It gens to apoint where you dont know how to ask for help. Trying to be strong for everybody and yourself. Its hard.
@@nancyondielo5839Which makes her changing even more admirable. I hope she and her handsome son are doing well.
Americans have a strange obsession with titles and chains of command
I feel like Gordon is a better psychologist than Dr. Phil.
Dr Phil is not even a licensed psychologist and it has been shown many times that he actually does more damage to the person than helping them. He uses mentally ill or unstable people and exploits them on national tv for entertainment and money.
More like doctor death
@@j.stanisic1586 yeah it kinda makes me sick when some kid were forcefully taken out of the house on camera in the middle of the night and invasion of personal space. kid didn’t even gives full consent, usually visibly uncomfortable and refusing to go.

@Schlacht Barghest Mirage Great Justice while Gordon for all I know is actually a decent perason
@@j.stanisic1586 He does have a PhD in clinical psychology, though, and practiced for 20 years, he just stopped renewing his license - probably because it makes him able to do the shows without getting in legal trouble. I agree, however, that his show is disgusting and he's clearly exploiting his guests.

"I'm not afraid of chef ramsay even if he had horns"
Well he does have ram in his name

„I’m not afraid of Chef Ramsay“ shows immediately that she’s got the wrong attitude.
She viewed him as enemy right from the start, instead of help and a friend.
Hehe....
@@grandmasteryoda2605runs* but it’s okay you rat bastard, spelling can be hard

This episode is home to my favourite Ramsay quote from all the series.
"Um Gordon if you continue like that Jesus Christ actually going to appear."
"I hope so, because I think that's what's needed right now." xD
What about "Hey, blublublublu, need diaper changing? Is it that time of the night? Little poo poo caca pants?" From the episode with the twins
@@falicman What is that episode called?
"They would fukin kidnap me if I served this in Jamaica"
“Ground beef? Half of its fat you f***ing idiot. ITS FATTER THAN YOU” to Vic at Fiesta Sunrise was also a classic.
Honestly i wanted him to say, LET US PRAY and try to summon him ahahah
I cried many times during this episode.
Chief Ramsey wasn't only a helper and a saver, but he became a psychologist doctor to ease the owner's wounds and bad memories. That's stopping her from looking onto the reality instead of being held into her old miserable childhood history.
Thanx to you chief Ramsey from your fans in Saudi Arabia .
We love you.
She interrupts others from talking but doesn't want to be interrupted when talking. If that's not arrogance then I don't know what that is.
great sun tzu if a girl cheats on me is there always her mother to play ?
She's one of those people that think that because she's a doctor that she's automatically the most important person in the room and everyone just has to respect them just because
more than anything, the fact that she insists that people call her doctor all the time is even more arrogant in my opinion
Meanwhile, Gordon Ramsay who is a celebrity chef still be called Chef Ramsay even when he's not cooking but he prefer to be called Gordon
In my opinion, she's stressed and not open-minded due to her past.
She is such a sweet lady my heart melted when she said “Coach Ramsay” at the end
That showed how much respect she had for what GR did.
She is dominating other people and dont listen to truth...... brrrrr. But so easy to play victim card and cry. But its a tactical typical female privilege.
"Jamaican food cannot be cooked fresh every day" im pretty sure most Jamaicans cook every day
Yes, they do. Many of my friends from Jamaica work, hunt, and cook. Thats the beauty of not being surrounded by constant internet buzzing. It's just not in their culture to be "chronically online" or whatever the current phrase is for internet addiction.

"I think the doctor needs a doctor"

I just laughed at that!
after all the horrible people i've seen among the owners on the KN, this episode is really heartwarming. Not without it's trauma and the owner stuck in her mistakes, but she really turned out to be a good at heart person and actually loving her son, too. So I'm really happy for them in the end, without the usual sad feel that this all will just come back to what it started as, as soon as Ramsay's team sets their foot out the door.
Half the time I feel like Gordon ramsay is more of a therapist than a chef.
His job is as much dealing with People as with Food
His background in sports gives him critical insight into coaching people, motivation and cultivating leadership.
@@nigelinasia2088 think he has trained som martial arts aswell
All roasts aside this is one of my favorite episodes of kitchen nightmares. She may have been stubborn at first but that is because she's not used to asking for help but she really came around in the end. You gotta respect her, she sacrificed a lot for her son and that came from a woman without a mother.
I respect that, but I’m honestly tired of hearing that.
I know our older generation parents have had a hard life, but they’ve past that trauma onto their children and have left a lot of them anxious.
I respect her goals, achievements, her mentality, but uh-uh.
“What if I punch him out?”
“Mum, I…..”
“No, hear me out”
🤦♂️😂
Gordon is actually a caring human yes hes hard honest and brutal but he's caring and genuinely wants to help
I love how no matter how determined the owner is to intimidate Gordon, he always has an extra level of anger that makes them stfu.
The main reason why I watch Kitchen Nightmares a LOT is so that I can see the character development of the staffs lol It's just so satisfying.
I will never get bored of Gordon Ramsey yelling at restaurant owners
“Who put the salad in a Martini glass?”

Goodness, if you go read her CSU alumni page you can see just the vast amount that she's achieved in her life. Even putting the restaurant aside she'd achieved more in her first 30 years of life than many will achieve in their entire life. And yet she was still so lacking in self confidence and so afraid of failure. It really goes to show how important those formative years are that a person such as Dr Morris could still be facing that negative impact of losing her mother young so many years later. I hope she continues to do well in life, and I hope Keone has found his passion in life also.
Yep. Compared with the incompetent sociopaths we usually see on RKN, this woman is an incredible human being, whose achievements few of us could ever hope to match. And maybe fear of failure is one of the things that drives people who operate at the highest level? Having said that, he's being deliberately picky when he criticises his rice for looking like a breast implant. That neat dome is pretty much how every major restaurant serves rice. I think it's called a timbale?
I think she has mental health issues. I feel for keyones girlfriend or wife. Meeting her. I couldn't do it.
Wonderful to see dr morris turn around, accept the constructive criticism and loose the stress she was under.. a really inspiring woman. I hope she and her son build a successful restaurant. They deserve it
🤣🤣🤣
12:22 "Is there a doctor in the house!?" One of my favorite quotes from Chef Gordon Ramsay XD
Gordon: it's FROZEN
Me eating a microwave dinner: Rookie mistake
How stupid must you be if you're refusing to let Gordon speak? He's trying to help the business
😂
😂
Most of the owners aren't looking for help, they're looking for validation from someone famous in the culinary world, like Ramsay.
They want to pin the blame for their failure on either the employees or the community, so being called out makes them defensive.
I mean if Gordon was sh*tting on her, this restaurant couldn't get any worse with her still bossing around
She wasn't stupid she was agitated because this is the first thing she couldn't do
"I'm not in denial because I'm not in denial"
Well shit. Can't argue with that.
“You’re running a hospital kitchen full of bags” 😂😂😂 that line got me DEAD

"I'm not used to... asking for help"
The way she paused before saying it, combined with the way her face physically moves during it, really hit my heart. It is relatable but most importantly, I see my parents in her in that moment.

Literally every owner: My business is failing and I need help. Gordon is my last hope
Also every owner: *Doesn't let Gordon do his job*
"There are people ordering the dry chicken" There aren't tho.
Recipe for Kitchen Nightmares episode:
-If this is Family's restaurant, the family's relationship torn apart
-If there's a couple as the owners, their relationship is torn apart
-If the owners are friends for a long time, there's always someone among them who is lazy and irresponsible
-Arrogant owners or chefs only to get redemption arc later
-Frozen food
-Chef Mike
-Disgusting kitchens and fridges
-Defrosting or rotten food
-First Dinner Service is always disaster
And one more thing: the servers are always brutally honest.
So true like do yall want his help or not?
"I could've grown a beard by the time they bring my meal"
That's hands-down the best customer comment on late service in the history of the show. *NO DOUBT*

@@YourHeartsDesires 😂😂😂😅
her restaurant skills aside tht woman has a large pair of balls. coming to another country on her own, becoming an olympian athlete three times and a doctor, then opening a restaurant. thats a bunch of accomplishments there.
Also Gordon Ramsay is what i imagine a pen and paper character to look like if you max out charisma.
Gordon has done it all he's just doing side quests now
And I heard from the comments, she is or was working get her own degree
"Stop sweating"
"Yes, right away"
"I am not in denial, because I am not in denial"
Spoken like a person who's truly in denial
Fun Fact- Dr.Morris participated in the 1964, 1968 and 1972 Olympics, earning fourth place in the 200-meter race in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and a gold medal in the 1966 Caribbean Games. She's currently working toward completion of a law degree at Abraham Lincoln Law School although I don't have an update on whether she has obtained the degree yet or not
Gordon: "why are you so stubborn"
Dr: (disagrees) "I'm not stubborn"
Gordon: * visibly confused *
"You're running a hospital kitchen" is the meanest thing Chef Ramsey ever said.
I think the Doctor is scared to fail but really she's accomplished so much. I think her son genuinely wants to help and he believes he can do a good job in the process and make it good for everyone at the same time.xx
A great achiever who has never been dependant on anyone but herself to rise above all her circumstances. So glad it all turned out well for her.
The first 20 minutes made me think "This is going to be an epic episode, she's so stubborn and narrowminded!" The next 20 minutes made me think "This is an epic episode!"
Imagine having no customers in your restaurant
And worry about the damn spoons that didn't even gets touched🪅
Weirdly, I can kind of sympathize with the doctor. Imagine if you spend your whole life dragging yourself onward, achieving goal after goal by just pulling through. It is really hard to make that change towards putting other peoples judgement above your own. It is one thing to be in denial out of arrogance, but a completely different affair when it is because all you had was you through all your life.
I can also understand the bitterness of her son, though. Imagine being raised by a person that knows nothing but individual perseverance and dedication. You watch the person you love and admire the most run herself down into a corner without realizing it and unable to be helped. The frustration must be colossal.
To be honest I don't think you should have to say "weirdly". Everyone has their own lives, ambitions and stories. Nobody is without quirks or flaws. I love watching Gordon Ramsay videos, but I find his stans jump on anyone in these shows who doesn't automatically worship him. You have to understand these are people at the end of their tether, who've put their all into something (generally - others are just awful, but she seems really genuine).
@@itsashton3409 I do though, since in this episode, she had to fill the role of the antagonist to Gordon and got heavily molded into it.
Especially in the US version of Kitchen Nightmares, the emphasis on drama and conflict is much more prevelant than in the british version. Most of Gordons outbursts (if not all of them) are played up for the show to make it more interesting. He always has an antagonist to fight, too, since it creates excitement and draws the viewer in more effectively. Also, production heavily cuts and rearranges dialog in the show, especially in this episode. Nowhere is this made more obvious than when Gordon meets Madame at the beginniong of the episode. When she introduces herself to him, the "doctor morris" is edited in so badly, that you can hear thar the soundclip used is borrowed from one of the servers.
She is made up to be hard relate, since noone wants to identifywith a micro-managing crazywoman. I totally get what you mean, though.
I mostly whatch the US series to find those flaws in sound design, to be honest.
@@Abfallkannibale She's narcissistic and manipulative the son was only trying to help her yet in her "breakdown" she pinned blame on him. Boo hoo. Horrible woman.
@@prezthebutton8876 yeah the sob story at 18:30 was hard to watch
Yeah, Gordon tells her what’s wrong with the rice, and the thing she wants to immediately focus on is the unease/hurt she is feeling. Is this how you communicate? Gordon asks her why is she stubborn, and gets no answer. Gordon asks her why is she in denial, and gets no answer. Ever try to work things out with a person like this? It’s impossible, because nothing gets done and nothing goes forward, because these people will endlessly twist everything said as an attack on their person, dancing around the actual subject until the one bringing up issues just gives up out of frustration.
Brit here, and I don't know why but I always love hearing a second British accent pop up on KN USA. Off the top of my head the lady in the ep w/the French chef too. Just puts a smile on my face!
“Keonie, he’s getting me very upset. Suppose I punch him out?” 😂
She's a queen 😂 needs her own spin off show 😂
It's just amazing how Gordon can flip from a swearing screaming boss into a highly effective personal, work, and relationship therapist when it's required.
"You whana race? Okay come." She was definitely gonna blitz the fuck out of Gorden, she was ready LMAO
😂😂😂 EXACTLY! She was definitely ready...NO HESITATION at all!🤣
That bit absolutely sent me I wasn't expecting it at all😂

If Gordon for some ungodly reason stops cooking he has to become a psychologist.
9:16 "I'm not afraid of Chef Ramsay, even if he had horns I wouldn't be afraid of him"
Dunno about the horns but he has years of experience and he is an absolute savage when it comes to criticize people
He certainly has Rams lmao
Failure to someone that is so high acheiving is very devastating
Yes it is
I love how Keone just touched his mum's shoulder, completely ignoring her nonsense excuse about the impossibility of cooking Jamaican food fresh every day. Great response lol
The doctor really is one of the few who were so ready to accept change.
She's a good woman.
This show ended many years back. But the guy who manage the account is a legend. Cheers to you buddy.
P. S. Love this show and I wish someday it come back.
We all hope for that, but sadly ramsay himself has said it won't as, after all the time and effort and money he was putting in to these places, too many of them were reverting back to their old ways or closing down.

@@thelazy_juan6120 Maybe, but at the very least when he says he's about to come she definitely says "let me finish"
She is a really good person, but the way she grew up she always needed to be tough and hard headed to get somewhere. So much so that it took it to the level she always uses it, even when she is wrong. Glad she took the help, shes a great person
She had to depend on herself. It was good to take off some of that weight.
When she said her mother died when she was at such a young age . That really made me understand how rough it must have been for her , and she still accomplished so much and is a great mother as well ! Wow such an impressive woman ❤
