Apple TV+ Announces New Series From Celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsay

I think this will likely be fascinating content. From a business and creativity perspective at the very least.

And anyone who thinks Gordon Ramsay is solely the character he 'plays' in many of his tv shows, isn't paying attention. The loud & angry attention-grabbing style he often exhibits, I would say, is the deliberate strategy of an incredibly astute chef, businessman and entertainer.

What you call an astute chef and businessman, I call immature. I have a family full of business owners, including my wife..and no one acts like him.

After seeing Gordon Ransey's TV success, I had to ask myself if I truly understood how many people in this world had a fetish that involved being berated in a British accent.

I am still not prepared for the answer.

So Ramsay is executive producing, but not appearing on camera? Anyone recall the time he lost not one, but two Michelin stars from his restaurant in a Manhattan hotel:
“Michelin guide director Michael Ellis told Bloomberg, "We've had issues with consistency, and consistency is a huge thing for us ... we've had some very erratic meals [there]." He explained that the major two-star downgrade was a difficult decision to make but the Michelin team felt it was the right thing to do.”
He’s not quite the culinary god some would have us believe.

Think this will be interesting. Though it would have been better if Gordon was hosting it. Anyway will be watching this.

No, I do appreciate where you are coming from – especially if the shouting & swearing etc. is all you see. If it helps, I've seen more content with him being a 'regular' person with his family etc. and read feature interviews. Not sure where you are on Earth, so this might not be available as much as it has been in the UK.

Also, from everything I have read and seen, working in restaurants – particularly being the chef and associated kitchen staff – appears to be an incredibly high-pressure environment, so I suppose people respond/deal with that in different ways.
 
Apparently many commenters on here are incapable of reading the article. lol. Gordon will not be on the show.

"The show will be hosted by award-winning food and travel expert, Jesse Burgess, and Ramsay will serve as one of the executive producers."

No cooking or food style is ‘out of reach’ of ordinary people. Being a chef generally is - but if you have an interest in food, then cooking and presenting food is an easily learned skill.

If you have no interest, nor a bit of a flair, (which you clearly don’t so I don’t know why you bothered to comment), then yes I can see it feeling out of reach.

Being a decent chef, on the other hand, is about much more than cooking, and that is certainly out of reach for a lot of people.

Gorden Ramsey plays the game for TV, but it’s not that far removed from a proper kitchen.

I will agree with the, 'its not far removed from a proper kitchen" and add that the show is somewhat tamed compared to some higher end kitchens.

It's been over 20 years for me but I spent some time working in restaurants and cooking as a part of that. Even in chain restaurants its not unheard of for the GM or EXPO to scream and throw plates in the kitchen.

I've had friends who were sous chef's and lead sous's in high end NYC restaurants and their stories were wild. Makes all the cooking shows seem tame and mild.

The FX series The Bear actually does a really good job capturing the emotions in a kitchen.
