Gordon Ramsay Explains Why He's Tougher on Hell's Kitchen vs MasterChef

Even off camera, Gordon Ramsay is a tough cookie as we caught a moment with the "Hell's Kitchen" host joking with his staff before our interview started. We all know he runs a tight ship as a man of many hats, and CineMovie sat down with the chef, restauranteur and television personality to talk about why his job calls for tough love.

The winner of Masterchef gets money and a cookbook. The winner of Hell’s Kitchen gets to run a Gordon Ramsey restaurant

[DavidValter]

it isn't rocket science. One is full of professional cooks. The other is full of home cooks

[markdavidofficial]

Masterchef: “Darling, where is your lamb sauce?”
Hells Kitchen: “WHERES THE LAMB

Ramsay, "I'm tougher on the contestants on Hell's Kitchen because they are hired professionals."

So here's what it sounds like to me:

MasterChef: Gordon's notably more lenient because they don't traditionally work in the culinary field, and he's helping them get to that level. (I've never watched MasterChef myself, but that's what it sounds like).

Kitchen Nightmares: He has higher standards and is a bit more stern, but these restaurants are not 5-star, if the people he's helping are willing to listen to him, he will be understanding.

Hell's Kitchen: The contestants are supposed to already be proffesional-grade chefs, so he expects the absolute best and treats it like the real deal every night; because it is.

I can really see where Gordon comes from here.
I work in IT support - and I do get very *very* pissed off over the phone very quick if I'm talking to an "IT Manager" or another "network engineer" and I find out they don't know their basic stuff.
On the other hand, I've been known to spend 30 minutes very patiently talking a beauty therapist through restarting her router.
You can't expect a non-professional to be perfect in something they aren't trained in.
But if you tell me you work in the industry and are charging someone for your services you better know your stuff.

Because he's RAW

[mudkipfan]

Masterchef : Sadly .. your chicken’s raw.
HK : EY EY EY, THE CHICKEN’S FUCKING !!!

[welcomemytruth]

That's probably the first 3 minutes I've watched where Gordon doesn't swear! lol.

"100%, I let you know in 60 seconds to how going far they're going"
F**kin' boss. A man who gets shit done and knows his/ the art he's trained in really damn well.
I have mad respect for Gordon Ramsay.

It’s hard to believe that the people on Hell’s Kitchen are “professionals” when they cannot even cook an egg properly.

[LJY]

Not into Hell's Kitchen, but I always liked Kitchen Nightmares and his hotel rescue show, because he was more human, and you got to see his lighter side, and his caring side.

Ramsey is at his best when he's helping people save their businesses, I mean, the guy has a real heart and only loses it with those people if they are delusional and/or lazy and tyrannical with staff, and if someone is really down, he doesn't kick them any harder, he just sits them down and calmly talks to them about what their issues are and how he can help out. And he generally seems to take joy from watching the businesses improve and the owners get their lives back.

"This thing needs to stay fresh." Just don't put it in the Freezer.

[crazebamm]

I remember a cook on Hell’s Kitchen said she thought Cold water would boil faster than hot water. Lmfaooo even typing this had me laughing.

[TheKaneECO]

His forehead is 10 years older than the rest of him.

[eshuapoorv]

When he's not cursing up a storm, he's actually very well

[WestHamParker]

The more you watch Gordon, the more you understand how incredible of a guy he actually is, compared to who people think he is.

[StanceSantos]

Hell’s Kitchen = professional chefs *RAJ KARATE NOISES*

[christopheribanez]

The REAL reason qhy Gordon is meaner in HK is because they run dinner service and are feeding customers.

He does not fuck around with standards when it comes to serving food to ppl. Notice in Master Chef, he gets the same exact way when they do team challenges and serve people.
