I hate generalising countries, people etc. It's basically the fault of the overall habits, system, affections and so on. American lifestyle. Not all Americans are arrogant at all. And talking about "Americans" is a little wide term. You mean North Americans? Ahh my bad, but I like neither arrogant people nor racists.

Well two things: 1) You are a moron Americans are criticized constantly and we don't care Just like Ramsay. 2) Obviously you are wrong because he is a mega celebrity in the US.
So take your country bashing somewhere else perhaps an echo chamber -

I'm not taking sides or anything. I'm not American myself nor is my native language english. And I'm not talking about simply country bashing. I'm talking about generalizing in general. There's no need to keep complaining all the time. Things are as they are and in the end no matter where we are from, we are all the same. We are not different races or different countrymen. We're all humans. If I was American myself I wouldn't care if someone was racist towards me. The important thing is to stop hating and criticising eachother. No one wants to kneel in front of anyone in the end, no matter where they are from. Hating only creates more hate.

Agreed. Often, the only way through that thick crust of disbelief in Americans is to scream at them. They want the excellence and it's just TRUE that it takes breaking a person to break their bad habits.
They do it in the Army, they do it for high-standard professions ALL of them.
(of course, someone will now name a high-standard profession that will refute my claim, so take it with a grain-of-salt general truism, not absolute) -

Americans don't like him because they are too arrogant to take any form of criticism.
EXACTLY. God, get a clue OP. Doing what he does in Kitchen Nightmares is helping people. All of those people ASK for his help, but then, when he comes and try to help them ?? They all turn around and say their food is the best and this and that shut up already. I would be just like him if i would be doing that ! As im growing old, i can take less and less stupidity around me and im noticing im becoming pretty harsh sometimes, but sometimes people just need to hear the truth and wake the beep up. Americans are so beep spoiled, they live like brats. -

Im American, I think he's awesome. My first impression of him, was "Hell's Kitchen" and I thought what a jerk, hes just yelling and screaming and being an ass. Then I saw, first the American then the British version of Kitchen nightmares, and looked up his credentials.
They guy isn't a jerk at all! Sure he's got a mouth on him, but what makes him a jerk? He's not just a great chef, he also knows the ins and outs of the business side of a restaurant. And when he sees people making terrible mistakes, he says so!
Whats wrong with that? Whats the goal of Kitchen Nightmares? To take failing businesses and turn them around! The core of the business is food, then service, then overhead. He's a straight talker.
And when he sees people doing well, hes just as quick with the compliments and he is with the critisizms when he sees people doing something wrong. And he doens't JUST yell, he says, you cant do that! You have to do this instead!
God forbid, people be honest! Hes not just a good cook, he's a good businessman.

I know him mainly from the UK and US versions of Kitchen Nightmares.
On those shows he is very passionate about food and restaurants, and also very caring towards the people.
If anything, he stands up for the little guys and accepts no BS from anyone.
I think the OP is completely wrong. -

He's not a little man. He's over 6 feet tall. He screams and yells at people on TV. because that's what people watch, so that's what Advertisers will pay for. If you don't like it, don't single him out as the culprit, blame the audience.
Personally, I love Gordon Ramsay because he's a perfectionist, because he's funny, and because he's tough. -

I think his attitude and stuff on Hell's Kitchen is probably something that was planned for ratings. People LOVE stuff like that. I remember when it first came out, people were like O_O WOAH DID HE JUST SAY THAT?!?! DID HE REALLY JUST DO THAT?!

Hell's Kitchen is my least favorite show. I'd swear too if I had to deal with Tommy and Elise. But have you seen Kitchen Nightmares, either the Brit or the U.S. versions? He is helpful and more than patient to some of the most idiotic and often rude restaurant owners you can imagine. Masterchef is in its 2nd year. He also has a Best Restaurant series. But my 2 favorites are The F Word and The Great Escape. He has humour,energy,guts, kindness,and just great overwhelming warmth and enthusiasm for others.What other show has horse's milk, caviar from Spain,pig's blood pancakes,a comparison of grocers in the U.K as far as health is concerned,and how to catch king crabs under the ice in Lapland? I absolutely adore these shows,and if your world wasn't so small,you might as well.

If you work in a professional kitchen you will discover that Gordon Ramsay's behavior is not that unique among executive chefs. While others may not be that extreme but Chefs are known for their foul temper and very limited patience. Working in that kind of setting is sink or swim. You are either cut out for it or you are not.

OP is waaaaaaaaaaaaay of base here. I mean Gordon is a very smart intellegent business man. If he wasnt he woudlnt have a chain of very successful restaraunts either here or England.
Though I do have one gripe has anyone seen the UK version of Hell's Kitchen, he rarley yells and screams like he does in the US version. -

You got it all wrong, it's a part of his style sort of to bullox people.
Also it seems like you are a bit jealous cause of him being sucessful.
Don't express yourself about things you have no clue about.
