Mercury69 3 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 This guy is hilarious. First he gives the critique to us viewers, then he lays down the law, drops the F bomb a zillion times while telling them what a sorry bunch they are and offers to put rockets up all their asses. So funny... Link to post Share on other sites

Zilla 0 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Does Dish and Direct TV have different formats of channels in Canada compared to what they put out the in US? Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Great show and have been watching since it began. Curious if the new FOX version where he goes to American restaurants will be just as good. I love watching the La Riveria episode in Inverness because I have been there.

jeff_536 3 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Does Dish and Direct TV have different formats of channels in Canada compared to what they put out the in US?There's no such thing as Dish and Direct TV in Canada.Although some people do it illegally (blackmarket) or get a US billing address (greymarket).I had directTV for several years with an illegal dish..trying to stay one step ahad of the service provider trying to shut us down.Right now, the legal dish provider in Canada is Bell Express. It's an alternative to Cable. But it's exact same, same channels, same cost, just delivery is different. Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury69 3 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 The Fox version probably won't have Ramsay dropping the F bomb at all, which will really affect the show, methinks.Inverness is as far north as I've been on this planet... Link to post Share on other sites

Same with Sopranos when it runs on our networks, rather than the cut up version that runs on AE, for example. Link to post Share on other sites

SBriand 4 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Looking at the extended preview last night during HK I think he is a little more animated for the american version. There was a ton of bleeps and looks like one chef tries to kick the crap out of him. Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury69 3 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 I've only seen two episodes, but I am surprised more people aren't losing it on him. I mean, he just abuses them, soooo funny. he means well, though. Link to post Share on other sites

SBriand 4 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Original British version is better but I still enjoyed it. The title of this should have been "Roid Rage" Link to post Share on other sites
FileError404 0 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 No sjit...that big gumba was insane. Nomination for biggest douche in the universe is in order. Show was great, though. They seem to have more production money, too, springing for a brand new kitchen and all. They never did that on BBC. But I hate that they didn't do the "6 weeks later" thing. Still... Season Pass.

hank213 1,824 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 You know what would make Gordon Ramsey a real genius?If he got a small piece of each of these restaurants he goes in and fixes. Imagine, 5 or 10% stake in dozens of restaurants in Europe and the US on top of the restaurants he already owns outright. KA-CHING!!! But that being said, I loved the BBC version and this one appears as if it'll become one of my favorites. Maybe it's because I once had a job in a failing restaurant and took a management gig to turn it around so I can relate to almost everything that goes on in this show.

MJINK3 0 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I love to eat as my 5'10 250 frame reveals but man, what Ramsey found in that fridge and walk in was sick dude. It makes you wonder what is in the kitchen of the next restaraunt you're eating in. Looks like next week is even worse with the friggin bugs! Link to post Share on other sites

It makes you wonder what is in the kitchen of the next restaraunt you're eating in. Looks like next week is even worse with the friggin bugs!Ive been in many restraunt kitchens and it is very disturbing to see the conditions in alot of restraunts. I cant believe the food inspectors go into food stores and raise hell because a cooler is 1 degree to warm but there are restraunts next door with mold growing on the inside of there coolers and water dripping directly into food in there walk ins. Your best bet from what I have seen are the chain restraunts because they have very high health standards that are enforced by there corprate headquarters. Not to stereotype but of the 7 or so chinese restraunts I have been in I would ony eat at 1 of them after seeing there kitchens. another tip is if a restraunt has a OJ dispencer instead of bottled or cartoned juice dont get OJ.

hank213 1,824 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Wow tonights episode was gnarly. I think they might've shot their wad early by airing this second in the season, it definitely could've been a season finale. Link to post Share on other sites

She said that even though these places pass inspection that the health inspector said they would not eat in them. I guess that means the codes need to be relooked at. I just can't imagine that the place on last nights show had been open for 6-8 months and in those kinds of conditions. Link to post Share on other sites
El Guapo 10 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 That was absolutlely disgusting....I have been watching the BBC ones of recent and they seem to not be staged at all....I am suspicious that the US version might be less than reality. It seemed a little much, but I still enjoyed it. Link to post Share on other sites

It seemed a little much, but I still enjoyed it.They are both "staged" I guess. There was a article written by one of the owners of an establishment after his visit from Ramsey in the British version. He wanted to have the place steam cleaned from top to bottom but the BBC said they would not come out of he does that. I see both sides to that issue though. He doesn't want to be embarrassed on TV but he obviously knows he hasn't been keeping it clean the way he should so he wants to make it look as if he does. The BBC doesn't have the wow factor if this guy goes and sets up his establishment in a way that might not need their help.He also claimed that Ramsey doesn't sit there and come up with all the ideas to make the place better. He has a team of people who go over the books and do some research before they arrive to see what they can do. Duh. You have to be pretty clueless not to know that Ramsey doesn't sit at a table with some coffee and come up with all this info by his lonesome. All in all though the guy said it was a great experience and it has helped tremendously. It's a TV show, of course it has staged moments. Someone posted a great comment towards some of the people claiming that the BBC and Ramsey were liars and keeping info from the public, etc. The comment said basically do we really want to see the accountants and the marketing team milling over books and numbers, do we really want to watch that instead? I will try and find the link to the article.Edit: http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/food/2007/11/g...say_and_me.html Link to post Share on other sites

TheUS version has more money to throw at it and I think in doing so they made it worse. IMO Link to post Share on other sites
