I always find it funny the commentary that people relay to me about the host, Chef Godon Ramsay. I'm learning more about him, but of course, most people shudder at the thought of working for a person like that. I am lucky, that overall when I have worked FOR people, they have not been those types of personalities. In reality though, sometimes in kitchens, the need arises to control many situations at once. When you have a banquet of 80 people, another of 45, and line service for another 180.. you just don't always have the time to ask politely, to hope that people will understand your subtleties. You have to be direct, sometimes forcefull, and specific in what you ask for so that the job gets done in the proper time.
Does Chef Ramsay ask for too much? Is being a Chef a popularity contest? My answer is no.. I mean, no matter what, the fact that he is internationally known, owns serveral restaurants and the host of several shows both here and in England, you can't argue with his success. Does it give him the right to act like an ASS so much? No, but in reality, when he has so much riding on his name, he is choosing getting it right. Sometimes it just takes what it takes...and as we often say.. sometimes "It is what it is..."
Here's a preview I clipped for Season 3 of Hell's Kitchen!
