where’s the lamb sauce

"The fish is that raw it's still finding Nemo!"
"Idiot Sandwich" (x3)
"GENTLY..Make love to it.. don't fuck it!"
from someone who lives in silsden, to this day this is the biggest thing that’s ever happened to it
Is it still there by any chance?
I'm from keighley and everytime I drive through, it's all I can think about
I bet that clueless clown isnt in the kitchen anymore
Tom Booth it’s gone but never forgotten 💔
MrLucozadeFTW there’s worse things to think about silsden, I’ll take it
this is so much more real than the american version, i love it
I think Fox is to blame for the OTT USA versions. It's presented so dumbly. Overly dramatic, quick cuts, sound effects, dramatic music etc.
This show is so much better, its actually personal and feels real. Whereas the american one i was always doubting whether it was real atall
Did you expect anything else?
It's really just the editing. All the shots are the same, in the american ones they usually add dramatic music and sound effects, and typically cut to different shots more often.
@@littoww very true, as someone else said i think its fox's fault
Never understood how the owner isn't responsible; hiring a 21 year old as "head chef" and obviously she never even looks in the kitchen or even cares. This can't all be on the shoulders of a 21 year old.
Right?! They hire cheap labor and then complain they work like crap. Wtf did they expect?!
Best thing is the fall out after the show she was a fruitloop
Yes, she should have been appreciative and grateful, taken responsibility, instead of blaming someone who bent backwards helping her business.
I think she just doesn't want to admit it. And having an incompetent chef is an easy scapegoat. Maybe she was doing it subconsciously even
21 or not that guy is a muppet cant even cook
Wait this is gold. The close ups. The absence of BGM. The calm voice over. The lack of over-production and the shy honesty of the protagonist. The grainy quality. If I watch Kitchen Nightmares US I'm getting screamed at within the 30 first seconds, this is a more laid back, documentary style show, loves it.
Completely agree.
Yes!
Gordon: “Within 5 seconds of the episode, I hear inappropriately dramatic music, a stupid voiceover, and unnecessary camera zooms! Get your f**king shit together, US edition!!”
Agreed. It’s simply because the US version caters to what Americans tend to like. Drama and over the top editing. Brits tend to like calm but interesting straight to the point documentary’s more.
Eh... not going to lie, i respect opinions, but whenever someone makes the statement about how they don't like the US version because of the editing just makes me cringe for some reason.
When he set fire to his family meal, his dads face, priceless.
The disappointment is amazing

I can relate
yup. hes looking at his wife and wishing she'd have just swallowed
@@ballpythonsinc7222 Hahaha
the dads like " i raised a totally twat" lol
A 21-year-old head chef who has never made an omelet, never bought food and doesn't know what "braise" means. Gee, I wonder why the restaurant failed.
Yeah it’s all Ramsey’s fault. That’s bullshit. It’s her fault. Only hers. Everyone blaming him in the comment section is bullshit. He is the only one that made them in any money. It’s all her fucking fault.
You know what they say about the fish, right ?
Not a coincidence why owners have ownership - they are responsible for EVERYTHING!
@@spookshow6999 accountability is rare these days, I don’t expect much from the people pointing fingers in comment sections

@@AleksandarIvanov69 The fish stinks from the head.
I love how these early episodes had those The Office-esque awkward silences at certain times. Kills me every time.
They are the details that make this cinematography its trademark this version i think ahhaha
It's called genuine reality TV 😆
I honestly prefer it over the american version
The US editions literally never have any silence. The producer is like “we have 2 seconds of silence - fill it with a timpani crescendo and crashing cymbals”
@@farmersmith7057 Exactly or they'll just use a random clip of him cursing
I can't believe that Tim had Gordon friggin Ramsay basically as his personal teacher and he still learnt nothing
I can't believe what a gobby little shit Tim is; he mouthes off about the owner 'sticking her oar in' when he can't cook for shit and like Gordon says - she's paying his fucking salary.
saying, "how was i to know it was off" is about as intelligent as saying, "how was i supposed to know it was night"
because he's thick as shit
just too fucking frustrating, im here commenting to vent now his fucking kid doesnt know left from down
if he was at the traffic light he would probably fucking think he was a pedestrian this guy needs to invest in a fucking mirror
so old you can still smoke inside
I miss those days
Smoking inside became banned in 2007
🥳❤🙈
@@zhain0 I'm glad it's stopped
What I thought haha!
Apparently young Tim dreamed of being a chef after putting together a bowl of cereal
Probably the mothers fault. If he was in the kitchen all the time her mother probably saw his cooking and should just tell him he sucks at cooking. And cooking one meal for a family is one thing. Handing out full meals every 30-40 minutes is a different league.
@@lehelzelenka207 Yes Tim's family coddled him. Apparently he continued being a cook at other restaurants. He's very lucky Ramsay came in and mentored him. That's an immeasurable lesson towards his chef career
@@deltahomicide9300 Non existent chef carreer if you ask me. Either trade you start, you start from the bottom and work yourself up. This guy can't mantain a small kitchen in terms of vegetables not going rotten in the fridge and basic cleanlyness. So he's lacking the basic stuff. Not able to make an omelette? What did he do in his mum's kitchen if he never broke an egg?
@@lehelzelenka207 That's really bizarre that he never made an omelette. It's like a car mechanic whose never done an oil change
@@deltahomicide9300 omelette is the first thing a chef has to do.
"you're 21....you should be having 12hardons a day not 1 a month "😂😂
Gordon should have been a poet
He nicked that line from Wordsworth.
I doubt Tim's even seen a hard-on through successfully.

Having lived in yorkshire for the first 27 years of my life I really appreciated watching small town Yorkshire people being given the choice of scallops or pie and all choosing the pie.
Fair do's the pie looked awesome. The producers obviously cut the scene where the folk asked to take rest of pie home for dinner.
As someone who's 25 and living in Yorkshire, I'm praying I get out by 27.

I wish savory pies were more popular here in the states. Chicken pot pies are sorta popular but overall a good meat pie is hard to find and it's sad. Savory pies and a tall glass of beer are delicious.❤
Love how she said "We need to keep the place clean or else I can be sued" rather than they need to keep it clean because they might kill someone with their food.
Incentive is incentive, better than the scumbags who should be keeping their place clean and get sued.
I noticed that, too. She’s more worried about her reputation than she is about the customers’ health.
*That rhymes* ...
@@henryjohn529 "sued" does not rhyme with "food". Sorry, dood. Er, dewed.
That's actually smart. Why would she mention on TV that they might kill someone??
This chef has all the energy and situational awareness of a slug.

Maybe that's why he was so scared of adding any salt to his bland dishes?
@@engasal 😂 KP
And yet he's successful! Lo!
19:29 The sheer horror & disbelief in Gordons face when Tim says he never cooked an omelette before. lmao XD
Probably in the top 10 moments in the whole of Kitchen Nightmares, it's gold
“Don’t be stupid” nearly choked laughing. Gordon knew at that point “ this kid hasn’t done fuck all”

Neville Longbottom should just go back to Hogwarts again. (At least that's of who he reminds me) lol
Also, the look on his fathers face when he burns the croutons in his grannies house, speaks more than a 1000 words could ever convey.
This episode is an utter masterpiece. Lol
While no one likes an imposter, just like the owner stated in the confrontation with Gordon, this guy clearly has a very distorted sense of reality, if he lacks the required self awareness to estimate whether something suits him or not.
Tim is a classic case of applying in the hospitality industry, due to the romanticization of cooking that is instilled via food network channels & was used as a marketing strategy of the restaurant industry, to gain more potential recruits.
But as an actual cook myself, the notion of the picture perfect scenario of pulling out a freshly pre prepared apple pie out of the oven & giving autographs, is very far off reality.
Because you start from the bottom & have to do tasks of cutting 20 pounds of onions, depending on the size of the establishment.
And it's far from being glamorous. But at least you will have the ability to rise to the top, if you had a proper training & got bombarded with a vast spectrum of tasks.
Im not trying to be condescending or bitter, but when I sometimes see self proclaimed hobby chefs who go online & use entirely wrong methods & still have the audacity to call it authentic "this & that", it's kinda laughable.
But unsurprisingly, these people garner support from the equally unenlightened masses, since cooking has become a lost art form within households these days.
And whenever I see people flock to Mc Donalds or other fast food places, I always picture them as the cattle that walks to the slaughterhouse.
Since they seem to be unaware of the fact that these establishments were designed to alter peoples tasting buds & intentionally make you sick over time, with all the synthetic flavors & chemicals pumped into them.
Furthermore, chain restaurants are jeopardizing the success of so many actual restaurants, & will eventually contribute to their bankruptcy.
Sorry for this passion lighthearted rant, I just like to write in depth comments sometimes, it's very therapeutic for me.
Bless you
Not gna lie, the chefs were clearly kidding everyone and can't even qualify for home chefs but I have to say gordon showed so much love to these 2 boys like they were his nephews man. Can literally feel the care he put in.
old england cant beat it, stone buildings, green country, cold fresh air, greasy little cafes and chip shops, seagull and landgulls, love it.
It's like this town was taken out some Lovecraft novel. Really gritty. But it wouldn't go well with my inherent blues. It's just too gloomy.
great point. It tugged at my heart-strings. I want to go there
‘Landgulls’ im going to use that! 😂😂🤣🤣
@@MrBiscuits2 good, that means it keeps people like you out
Old England is one of the most picturesque and pleasant places on the planet, and outside of the big cities most English people are salt of the earth.
My favorite Ramsay quote ‘make love to it,don’t fuck it
I prefer ‘you’re cooking like a real twat, you know that?’
I was looking for this one
Wow. These early episodes are so different. Gordon is so calm and informative, the owner and chefs are candidly clueless rather than acting crazy. I feel like I am watching an interesting British documentary rather than a sensational American reality show.
I feel like I learned about running a small restaurant and sourcing ingredients that none of the American episodes showed. Even the silly moments like Gordon throwing the platter into the canal and giggling felt more candid.
The American one was just a bunch of pure chaos and dry entertainment....
It's just the difference UK-US. If you watch latee UK episodes, they still have this feel.
Candidly clueless 😂😂
Absolutely love how Gordons looking out for the kids, trying to energise and empower them
The ultimate competence imprinting method
"I've never seen anything like this in my entire f***king career"
15 years later...
Everything is so dramatic and fake these days, this just feels real
Right? I laughed when I heard him say that. Famous last words lol
A young boy was jacking it as his soft schlong jumped up & down
quite a treat, it made me plump
As I was starring at him from within the tree crown
It was a heavy summernight as the crickets were chirping
Dead silence, except for my obnoxious jirking
The flowers blossom would mean the trees demise
A man yelled :It was you who ordered 2 pepperoni pizzas, right?"
As I made haste to the balcony across, I was at a loss how I am supposed to obtain money from inside
To my surprise the door was open & I could refrain from making a sound
Through the hallway I was sneaking
As I passed the little boys door
my temptation could not resist to peak in
A closer look revealed the boy to be a midget
And on the countertop spreaded around
Monopoly money, as far as the eye could see
An amount with at least 4 didgets
Standing in the hallway once more
I heard a woman scream due to sensory overload
Her name was apparently Bridgette
Seconds after you could hear a nutsack literally explode
Quite strange times we live in
A man jacks it to the sounds of his wife getting a fillin
From balcony back to tree I jumped, slid down & presented the pizza guy a hit from my joint
We were both so high we ate the cartoon as well
Never ever take LSD my children or you may get a free trip to hell
this is so wholesome, he's acting like their friend but also their boss. just hanging out playing football and dinner with the family lmao the american one really is chaos

I don't know who the hell that is but just the name is fucking hilarious hahaa
@@tractorback76 Dopey kid from harry potter , basically lol.
10:26 Imagine walking past a window of a restaurant an seeing Gordon sitting like that
When Gordon revisited the first time, he found out Tim had been given 2 written warnings and he was chilling on what should have been a busy night. Lee had been moved onto the bar and Tim was back to his old ways with a fridge full of rotten food and mussels in the sink. By the end of the programme he was sacked and admitted he wasn't as good of a chef as he thought he was. After the show aired Sue was very public about the show stating she felt bitter about the experience, ended up on anti depressants and wanted to sue Gordon. Gordon returns to Silsden again for the second revisit, Sue refuses to do an interview on camera but speaks to Gordon off camera and tells him she is looking for a buyer for the restaurant. He also meets with Tim who tells him that Sue had not hired another chef and was just running it as a bar with no food on offer. Bonaprates closed in 2005 and was put up for sale for £450,000. After closing, Bonapartes became Reflectionz bR in 2006, it closed and was put up for sale at £350,000 in 2009. The restaurant was sold and reopened as Dineros Wine Bar but this closed in 2011. Sue became homeless, jobless and was left with with £400,000 debt after declaring bankruptcy. Sue was banned from driving after being caught drink driving in 2006 and was relying on state benefits. Tim quit cooking and went into Television after turning down a job offer from Gordon. He returned to working in the kitchen in a restaurant near Bonapartes but was asked to leave this and a few other kitchen positions when they found out about his role in Bonapartes. In 2007, Tim was caught drink driving and was banned from driving for two years. He told the court that he drove his car to escape a repeat attack by three men who had beat him up earlier in the evening. He still has hopes to be on television and got through to the final lineup of Big Brother 5, until they found out who he was and decided against having him on the show. In 2006 Gordon won a court case against a newspaper for publishing that the scenes in this episode were faked, he won £75,000 in damages.
Wow, great info - thnx for the share! Dunno how you know so much on this, but i'll take it.
What? How do you know about this? Got any sources? It's like you are a Kitchen Nightmares Historian
@@Tonyklick plot twist, Sophia is actually Tim
Why in the fuck did he decline a job offer from Gordon? He could have been trained by one of the best chefs in the whole wide world.
@@UberSoldatz Tbh I think once Gordon came along and gave him a taste of what it would be like working in a "proper" kitchen i.e. serving more than 2 people on an evening, it looks to me like his heart probably wasn't really in it. I mean you can tell by the way they let it just slip back into its old ways after the first show. It must require a lot of organisation and discipline to keep a kitchen to good standards, much more than he ever anticipated.
Sue: blames Gordon for her restaurant collapse
Also Sue: hires sulky man child with no skills, qualifications or experience to be head chef.
Really? She blamed Gordon for her restaurant failing? Christ almighty.
She was a charlatan hiring another charlatan to put the blame on. Bitch got what was coming to her.
@@florbfnarb7099 haven't found any proof of this thus far
Edit: nevermind she tried sueing gordon LMAO wow what a C
From what I read in dozen of comment section across CZcams, I hear Sue is now homeless and got massive amounts of debts and Tim he got beaten up by mob and hard to find job.
Let me remind you, I read it from CZcams comment section. I don't know if it's legit or someone just trolling me.
@@PoptartParasol There was also a documentary of the 'behind the kitchen nightmares' or something (used to be on yt) where she absolutely comes of a bitter c and blames Ramsay that the restaurant was closed.
34:33 Seeing Gordon enjoy himself and be able to let loose a bit is honestly the best thing in this episode for me.
The main lesson I have learned from this show is never ever under any circumstances walk into a place that says "fine dining" on the sign.
It must have been painful for his family to watch him humiliate himself like that.
it was and now it just hurts me, however I can see my nana so its worth it
@@timothygray7412 what are you doing nowadays?

@@SkaterBlades nah mates its just that some Americans are disrespectful, prideful and think they're the best or maybe i should use the word because instead of and. this also makes for good tele
It was, then he went to the US
From the start this actually was a sincere show.
Gordon's a great guy
This episode is by far one of my most favorite ones. Chef Ramsay actually was having fun . In the yelling and screaming was down to a bare minimum, with the cooks in the restaurant and with Chef Ramsay
imagine taking the bus and see gordan ramsey crying by a restaurants window
This episode will always remind me of what it was like to be a chef back in the early 2000's you could find a chef with such a lack of basic cooking and safety skills like that in almost any kitchen in the UK. Once they brought in the rules about H&S mainly the ones requiring employers to hire staff with a Food Saftey level 2, things changed. Also that guy smoking in the pub is a throw back too another time.
Nah mate things haven't changed. I've been in this game for 11 years and it's the same shit.
Anyone hires retards nowadays too because they cheap
@laser325 you're serious arent you?
It's far worse today.
I quit being a chef for good after 27 years about 5 months ago because the place I was working at kept hiring anyone. The industry has really gone downhill to be honest.
As for the FS level 2 requirement... it's not a requirement. Even then, the companies just get them to do some crappy online training that's nothing more then a ticking boxes exercise done in less than an hour. I remember when I got my level 2 (then 3) about 20 years ago, I had to go on a 3 day course before sitting the exam.
In Denmark where I am from, if you call yourself a chef you have been training about 3 years and 6 months. Going back and forth from working in a restaurant kitchen and culinary school.
28:52 I still think to this day that Ramsay really screwed up his approach to Tim. I could tell in an instant that he's not the kind of kid that bounces back with energy and white hot aggression when he's been told off. He's the type to accept it as fact of his abilities, overthink it, and then spend that night in bed wondering if he has any place in the universe.
I know, I used to be the exact same way, and it was kind of spooky to basically see my younger self and predict how he would react to anything in this episode perfectly.
You should call the police then.
The lack of background music makes this looks like a life documentary lol
“3 restaurants. Leeds, London, New York, all the big cities ya know” 😂😂😂😂 2:35
I know! New York is a shit hole.
Leeds 🤣🤣🤣

I love the fact that the chef is interacting with the crew and not just Gordan - it feels very natural
Who is gordan ?
Gordon’s impression of the accent was hilarious and spot on “gun put in bin” 😂😂👍
And that chef shouldn’t be working as a chef at all, total embarrassment

The first episode is basically Gordon training someone who likes cooking into a chef.
Cooking a meal at home for friends and family is VERY different from restaurant cooking.
“What would you do with a braising steak?”
“I don’t know really. Maybe barbecue…” 💀
I can't believe this lady had the audacity to blame and sue Ramsay for their demise. This whole thing is insane and she's oblivious.
The lion, the witch and the audacity of that bitch.
A 'Head chef' who can't cook an omelette, doesn't know what to do with braising steak, ('put it on the BBQ') and doesn't know when sea-food is rotten?!?!
I bet Tim regrets not paying attention to what was essentially a fast track one on one apprenticeship with Gordon Ramsey now lol.
Most armies in the world would love to hire every person they can, but they are under regulations about minimal IQ of a person they can hire. Tim is a sad case. I doubt he regrets. I doubt he even understands.
@@johanndaart7326 I think the minimum is around 80 iq much higher than room temp
I saw in a comment that he turned down a job offer from Gordon to go on tv, got denied after almost being a member of Big Brother 5, and then he even got fired from a chip shop. Lol. And him and Sue both lost their licenses, Tim for 2 years and Sue for 12. I can’t verify any of that as true, but it sounds totally possible
@@SuperD00D well sue had to lose her license it was so clear when she kept ironing the cloths while chef Ramsay was telling her the reality of her kitchen. She thought she might get customers by going on the show.
He was just 21. At this age most of us were not that serious about a career so I give him a little credit for that
I agree, but we don't take on the title of the "Head Chef" .Most of us would rather learn and climb our way up.
We can't hold onto something we have'nt earned.
"Deserve to desire" ever heard of it?
Actually, Sue was the biggest guilt here. She hired a 21 years old kid as head chef and she never checked if the kitchen works well. Instead of realizing that heading a restaurant is not her world and just sell the place, she blamed Tim and Gordon for everything.
kid thought he could fake it till he made it. I don't blame him, I would have done the same at that age. But it is indeed a big mistake
No, no, no, no, no. This was pure idiocy. I don't wish to do people down but I wouldn't put this lad burger flipping at McDonalds.
Good luck to him, I hope he makes a living doing something, but he should be nowhere near a kitchen unless it's pot washing . .
@@paulpatterson3514 he's nearly 40 now hardly a lad anymore but I get what you are saying
I really love this epsidoe because of how good of a mentor Gordon can be. Its also an eye opening for restaurant managers get the basics of running the restaurant. The manager and the chefs need to be in good relationship and work together. I do feel bad for tim but at the same time I dont. He has dreams just like all of us do. However, he doent have that drive to become what he wants to be even with Gordons help and its hurts to see that. That valentines service looked to be promising and the drive Gordan gave tim was really heartwarming. Sometimes dreams arent meant for the right reasons and Tim couldnt help himself or the Manager unfortunetely. If you're a young adult who has dreams, dont be afraid to make mistakes... Learn from them!
This dude is the reason the 'No Thoughts, Head Empty' meme exists. Christ this was painful to watch. Must have been more painful for Gordon interacting with him though.
The lights are on but nobody is home.
He's turned blank-eyed mouth breathing to a high art form.
I almost feel a bit sorry for Tim, he’s just way out of his element and wishing for something above his station. When Gordon berates him, you just see this lost little boy on the verge of tears. You can’t live in a bubble playing celebrity chef and Gordon really did do Tim a favour by giving him a slap of reality!
Firstly, I don't understand why Gordon let the owner off the hook completely. Everything in this episode including Tim was her responsibility ultimately. She was incredibly negligent and clearly not up to running a restaurant.
Secondly, I agree Tim needed a dose of reality but I don't think the way the show did it was the right way. Apparently Tim suffered quite a lot of abuse as a result of the show airing and has had mental health problems (which is totally understandable). Gordon should have said to Sue straight away this guy is out of his depth and should not be the head chef. Gordon and the show saw an opportunity to take advantage of Tim's general stupidity; I don't think he was intentionally bullshitting, his head was in the clouds.
Yeah I think you’re right. He came up with some, unintentionally, hilarious lines and cock ups that were tv gold, but after these shows air, reality tv characters have to go back to real life. Editing is a powerful tool!
I read that Tim turned down a Chance to work in one of Gordons Restaurants to pursue a career as TV Celeb 2004/2005.
... I don't know if he actually got enough "Reality" in the Week with Gordon. Basically, he not only comes off as a kinda weird Dude: He's a over confident and delusional Dude.
Tim was one of those stupid people who likes to think that he's smart because his mom always told him that he was when the obvious reality is he's a cocky fool with an 85 IQ who act and thinks above his station.

Chef Ramsey gives the most important advice ever in this episode. When someone breaks you down, come back twice as hard. It's so crazy how simple the advice is that can apply to almost any career. Love this show
(Also, this "head chef" is the example to NOT follow.)

Infinitely more interesting than the hyper edited, symphonic drama that is the US version.

08:38 "His signature dish is scallops" not really, this was just him copying all of the other chefs he knew. This was when every chef was doing the 3 scallops on a plate thing. I remember that masterchef for at least 3 seasons had loads of this same dish on it.
ive watched nearly every single Gordon Ramsay worthy content and this is by far the best and most authentic yet
It’s honestly weird and nice to see Gordon almost normal instead of the over the top version that the Americans show
Its what the producers think American audiences want, over the top, over dramatised, booming backing music and screaming matches.
@@joannaedssay5988 Thas what i have tried to tell people, before on here. We dont really like all that shit, there just isnt anything else on. if your choise is Wal-Mart hot dogs or nothing you eat the Wal-Mart hotdogs.
"This contains swearing"
Its...Gordon Ramsey
This is so genuine, lovely, wholesome, great, funny and sad at the same time, it almost feels like watching Oscar winning documentary film. loved watching it!
It's so quiet and calm, you can really relax watching this
This episode is the best almost seems like a mockumentary
Tim : "Rustic tomato soup with some cheese things"
Sue: "Cheese things yeah"
This was an actual conversation LOL!
It's just England
Polina - you know nothing about england
The place is fuckin mental what else is there to know
Loved how Gordon Chef Ramsay was engaged trying to mentor these guys in one week, sadly as if I recall correctly the restaurant's owner was angry at Gordon's show for putting her restaurant in a bad light. But in my opinion it was one of his best episodes across his shows! Because IT'S RAW!
The way Gordon was scolding them and simultaneously trying to encourage and uplift them was so heartwarming
When he imitated them saying put it in’t bin 😂
Racist😆
@@annother3350 please explain to me how that is racist...?
@@Oli_Timmis I'm mocking the way that people scream racist when anybody does someone elses accent these days
Iv'e been a chef for more than 35 years and I actually feel sorry for Gordon on this one.
This guy is so lucky to be handguided by Gordon himself for a whole week. I’d pay thousands to have just one day with the guy.
And you can!
Just invest all you have into a restaurant and let it fail.
Me too!
Gordon would laugh. He cooked at Versatile!
He was also offered a job from Gordon and had rejected him
I Have Never Seen Gordon Have More Fun, He Seemed To Enjoy Doing it at That Time.
I feel bad for Lee, the second chef. Hope he got a next job and is doing well.
Same. He seemed like the only competent person there, if a little inexperienced.
Get real, Lee had every chance to shine working under that gormless twat Tim - and he was just as useless. Two young men in sole charge of a restaurant kitchen - and neither one of them could make a frigging omelette! Pair of useless, waste of space pricks, stealing a salary.
@@glamdolly30 that's one way of looking at it. I like a bit of empathy, myself.
@@jeremysimmsMEF It's annoying because it's classic male entitlement. You'd never find two young women who blagged their way into that privileged position, based on no qualifications or talent whatsoever - then took the piss out of the boss paying their wages.
They both needed to be slapped down, and Ramsay rightly did it. Shame so many people had blown smoke up their arses and given them unfounded confidence and entitlement - especially Dim-Tim, whose deluded mother clearly believed he was special. 'Special needs' is nearer the mark!
On the update show, GR revisited him at his parents' house. He said he'd given up any cookery ambitions, and was now embarking on a career in television (more arrogance).
Just before the credits rolled, it stated onscreen he was back working in a local restaurant kitchen. So much for his TV career. Lord knows how he persuaded another business owner to hire him - particularly when the TV show exposed exactly how gormless he was!
@@glamdolly30 Wow, so it's completely impossible that a young woman could be shit at her job, and everything that was wrong with these two guys stems from them being guys? Uh....no.
People are not just their gender.
the old ones were so much better, focusing more on the kitchen & cooking elements then the drama with being over dramatic and fake. much better viewing 👌🏻
It's less old vs. new and more UK vs US
US ones are shite. Fake, over dramatised, just like their TV I suppose. Loved the grittiness of the early UK episodes, before he got greedy.
@@ddavies1967 100% mate
Whenever I re watch these older episodes it always amazes me how good the music was for this show
The lack of editing and poor quality makes the emotion in this so much rawer. Moments where they stew in the silence and it doesn't cut away is so real.
Your lack of vocabulary and poor intelligence makes your statements seem negative
@@papermachevolcano1480 "Social media made you all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it." - Mike Tyson.
Felt that applied well to you.
This is so early/mid 2000’s I love it
@Marc Leslie its fucking closer to 2000 than 2005
Theimmatureone it’s around 2006/7
Marc 9663 it was filmed in 2003 but aired in 2004
Halcyon days. Oh I miss it.
It is the smoking indoors that gives it away
33:33 ‘Whip Whip Whip Whip, put the bowl down!’
Better than most modern hip hop. ;)
classic !!!
29:17 It's so weird hearing him saying "fookin'" instead of "f*cking".
33:50 It's even weirder seeing him have fun with the chefs.
It makes me cry to watch these: most people need a helping hand to get them on The Path, and it is so heart-warming to see such turn-arounds. Gordon Ramsey is pure gold. To see Tim lose it despite Ramsey's best efforts was so disappointing :(
Sadly Tim's return to lazy form proved he never deserved the lucky break Gordon Ramsay gave him. Pearls before swine.
@@glamdolly30 Yep , and the way he was arguing with the owner at the very end! 21 going on 14..ungrateful immature little fucker
@@jaymcd8577 Unbelievable arrogance and entitlement in a decidedly underwhelming and unimpressive, 21-year-old man-child!
Gordon Ramsay was pretty astonished at the levels of blank-eyed, uncomprehending stupidity in this young man. He showed great insight when he concluded: "He's clearly never been told off before!"
We had a snapshot of the problem when GR met Tim's parents - Mum positively glowing with parental pride, as she boasted of her son's supposed long-term culinary ambitions. My Arse! What a joke, a 'head chef' who had never made an omelette. As Gordon frequently said - Fuck Me!
Sue showed extraordinarily poor judgement in giving full control of her restaurant to the village idiot. But I felt very sorry for her when I read she'd subsequently gone bankrupt, become homeless, and wound up surviving on benefits.
She literally lost everything. Meanwhile after running her business into the ground, Tim was no doubt still being supported by his indulgent parents, and faced no real consequences. When Ramsay revisited him a year later, quelle surprise he'd abandoned all plans for a cooking career - and now had ambitions for a career in television. More arrogance! Funnily enough, he's never been heard from since.
@@glamdolly30 Cheers for the reply, yea interesting but tragic story in the end, but if you might recall from the revisited episode, when GR visits his home and they're all sitting and chatting in the living room Gordon starts to kiss Tim's arse a bit saying sorry it didn't work out, more or less making it out to be her fault..my jaw opened as I was watching thinking wtf Gordon!? He was probably pissed at her so much for trying to blame him, in his mind at that moment, he was probably thinking back to how he saw an underdog in Tim, despite being a lost cause in the end, he loves the challenge after all.
@@jaymcd8577 I'd forgotten that! Good catch. You're absolutely right - Gordon did a naughty, 360 degree turn while sat on Tim's parents' sofa, suddenly holding his boss Sue entirely responsible for the restaurant's failure.
As business owner, its failure is ultimately her responsibility, no question. But as we know, viewers had previously been left in no doubt her useless, salary-stealing 'head chef' (Lol!) loaded the gun that killed it!
No doubt GR was pissed off at Sue for badmouthing him and 'Kitchen Nightmares' to the media, as you identified. But I suspect the bottom line is he bottled it, because in the confines of that tiny house, he recognised they idolise their boy - however freaking hopeless he is - and he couldn't shatter their illusions!
Gordon Ramsay is one hell of a mentor!!!!!
26:51 - I think his father is truly upset here and feels pain watching this! :(
I love how Gordon really takes the time to make sure the chefs are put in their place where they should be and really really really makes them thinking about the food they are putting out
Legendary first episode. That lad’s incompetence still makes me laugh today, as much as it did when this was first aired.
To find the owner Sue tried to blame this series on the restaurant’s downfall just shows how doomed her own business ethics were from day one, even with all the help and guidance she recieved form a seasoned professional.
I wouldn’t have trusted Tim to open and pour a tin of food for my dog. What a charlatan.
I'll never understand WHY someone opens a restaurant when they have ZERO clue about food, food quality and can't even tell their own food sucks. W. T. F.
Restaurants are one of those businesses that people think is easy because it's just cooking right? So they don't think of everything actually involved, they think it's a simple business to start and run to make a quick buck.
@@Nobleshield ya but theres already plenty of statistics out there: restaurants (I think) are the most likely to fail. And it makes sense. The margins on the food are SOOOO small. Really only booze can make you money. I think it makes sense if you are rich and want a prestige place, but other than that, what a nightmare. And burnt food? I mean how can't you taste your own food and say "Holy shit this sucks, you're fired."
@@Nobleshield It's a big ego trip. Bar owners do the same. They have these visions about how great they will be and how everyone will respect them and look up to them. They think they will hire a few locals and walk around and feel like a big shot. The restaurant I worked at as a teen was successful only because the owners entire family was in there nonstop. They were never not there, I never saw them show up, they were always there no matter what. The owner was a mean, aggressive fucker who only cared about his wallet. These morons have never even went into their freezers or coolers or even know where the food comes from. This guy would weigh all the food every Thursday when it came in and hell or high water he was on the phone with them wanting a discount because the pork shoulder was only 3.4lbs when it says 3.5 on the bill. The Restaurant business is a total science now. The margin of error is almost zero. Chain hotels and restaurants know this. They got the science down pat.
@@Balletified I guess...thats lots of money to burn.
@@cactusmalone can you rephrase, I have no idea what you are asking.
useless Tim. his dads face when he burned their dinner😂😂
I cry every time.
You can see his dad's thinking 'I raised a moron'
haha priceless!
2 years changing diapers. Waking early every morning to bring Tim to school. Not taking vacation for years to pay everything for your son.
Don’t squeeze Tim’s muscles
I love Gordon Ramsay! He's so direct and brutally honest, whilst still being a genuinely nice guy!
The amount of cuteness in the episode is episode!!! This is heartwarming
Health Inspectors in the UK seem to be more strict than the ones in USA
I'm amazed how a lot of the restaurant in the USA didn't get shut down before Gordon got to them
Well, they didn't notoce how much rot there was, but expected from government workers... Basically a group of Tims
We have a 0-5 star rating based on the yearly inspections.
This style of kitchen nightmares is the best
It was very cool how Gordon levelled with the guys. Sometimes putting a bowl of eggs on the head speed learns a lot of business experience as well.
"I am now starting to shit myself" said so low and quietly 😭
