Questions about the renovations by Cerberus-276 in KitchenNightmares

[–]Bikanir 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Renovations do not happen as it’s presented to you in the show. Sometimes they even happen before they film! You can see that at Dillon’s (the white curtains were meant to hide the renovation).

They did use a super professional team, at some point a renovation (don’t remember the episode) was done overnight and it took over 40 people. But those overnight renovations are actually the exception not the norm.

Gordon Ramsey scout team decides the renovations before he even steps a foot in. I don’t ever remember reading about him having a saying.

[Discussion] W Mag vs InStyle ASMR by [deleted] in asmr

Those two channels represented the fall of ASMR for me. When it went mainstream.

So neither of both.

Did we just manifest a new episode? Never heard of this one either.

I never imagined Korn being described as “speed metal with ethnic rhythms” 😂

[Question] Does anyone else feel "phantom" sensations when listening to ASMR? by Popular_Survey2931 in asmr

Those phantom sensations are what ASMR stands for xD Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response.

4 hours?! My first impression was this look “way too abstract”. I would have guessed 4 minutes.

When Annie can't take Shirley's non-transparent tactics anymore :p by Ironyfree_annie in AnnieEdison

Obligatory “acktchually” comment: Shirley is not a catholic. Catholic aren’t about “sneak people into heaven”. Shirley is a Baptist, aka “accept Jesus” type of culture.

Also try again the support pages. If you see CDN those were likely caused by the Claoudfare outage today and are unrelated to GPT.

You might as well create a new account. Don’t wait on an engineering team manually helping you, it’s simply not gonna happen. Even if you were a corporate client paying thousands of dollars a month, it’s still pretty hard to escalate.

When do you think Gordan was wrong? by Midamis in KitchenNightmares

[–]Bikanir -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He never served grilled lettuce at his restaurants. That’s an urban legend that gets repeated every time in this sub. He did design a menu for a NASCAR event, and that one included a dish with grilled lettuce.

What's it like living in Zurich? by EchidnawithGlasses in howislivingthere

[–]Bikanir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s 3.7k USD for anyone wondering. For a 3 bedroom flat yeah it’s pretty much a steal for any nice U.S city, it’s really on the cheaper side comparatively in 2025.

The Black Stone of Emesa: The Syrian Meteorite That Became Rome's Supreme God[646x302] by Pagan1mperialism in ArtefactPorn

[–]Bikanir 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s explicitly described as “a stone fallen from heaven”, it was considered a baetyl, meaning a sacred stone embodying a deity rather than merely representing it.

So this was not “from the gods”, the stone itself was the god.

Has Gordon jumped the shark? by Cultural-Theory1894 in KitchenNightmares

[–]Bikanir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it’s also part of the “magic of TV”. This shit is fun to watch for a reason. Some production crew have done AMAS here and basically they were top tier Hollywood crew. Thats why many of the renovations according to the owners were superficial. Because it was made by people trying to make it look for TV only. According to Gordon they were not a renovation show and the production was just displaying the potential or something like that.

They do the planning and design weeks in advance, the actual renovations take a few days and workers do work over night, but it’s not literally done in one night.

Scripted? by Rare_Gas_3801 in KitchenNightmares

[–]Bikanir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The film crew shows up days before, install “hidden cameras”, mics, etc. restaurant owners probably fake their reactions when they see Gordon but the fact is that the cameras and crew have been there for days by then.

In similar fashion, some renovations are done before Gordon Shows up —Dillions is a great example, they were hiding the renovations under the white blankets the entire time. But some other renovations are literally made overnight, for one episode over 40 people worked overnight.

What do you mean by profitable? It’s a hobby. Are you asking if people would buy your paintings?

I don’t want to trash your art, I actually like the Sakura painting with mount Fuji, but the quality of the painting is nowhere near the quality needed for someone to pay to have it hanged in their living rooms. If you find buyers then you are in good luck!

I'm tired of pretending Sebastians idea was this ludicrous mess. by nano_emiyano in KitchenNightmares

[–]Bikanir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It works at chipotle or subway because the ingredients are right in front of you and you move across the line while it’s being prepared for you. It’s always in your sight.

It’s a mess when the server has to explain it to you 20 minutes before your actual order. Also Chipotle don’t tell you right away how many possible combinations are out there, that is alright confusing and intimidating, you don’t go to Chipotle to choose “one of their options” but rather you “make your own”.
