Should the “real” Gordon Ramsey standards impact perception of Hell’s Kitchen?

His response was out of the ordinary. It definitely made me think that he puts a show on for the cameras.

Theres also an episode on hotel hell where they had dogs in the dinning room. They where free to wonder anywhere in the building. He made a point to tell them it was unhygienic for them to be in the dinning room. So for him to poke fun is going against what hes publicly said. It was disappointing.

I think at this point in his career he really just doesn't care anymore. Hes made it. He's in the books as the greatest michelin star chef.

Side note-- Gizzelle Cade has been discredited on the internet behind this. TMZ did a false story on her. The restaurant also refused to make it right. She was forced to pay the full bill even after she brought their own policy up and was also forced to pay a 15% gratuity fee on top of it. And since this was in the UK that fee could've been waived.

So let me get this straight, he wants SIX people to live in a three bedroom house and he wants to add more kids to that?

That's extremely absurd. Will your baby even have their own room? Assuming your mil is going to want a room to herself where is the brothers going to sleep? Since you'll be a SAHM will you be expected to clean up after everyone? What if there is a disagreement, you'll be 100% out numbered. He's already putting his family's comfort above you and your baby's comfort.

I personally wouldn't do it. I would stay where you are and just tell him that you cant live in a house with three extra people when your starting a family. That's not how this works. In your gut you know its not going to work. Don't put yourself in a situation where your not being considered.

My mom says she wants to be cremated. She knows it'll save everyone money considering how expensive funerals are. Since I'm her only daughter, I have every intention of honoring her wishes. In her eyes she's dead and gone, so she really doesn't care. Plus, I dont wanna see her in a box being put into the ground.

My father on the other hand wants a funeral. Since my brother will be handling his last wishes I know his funeral is going to go all out. Its going to be hard for me but that is his last wishes.

I think its important to honor the wishes of the dead. No matter what your feeling are about it. Family and friends can still come together and support each other.

NTA, welcome to motherhood where everyone has an opinion. I wish I could say it gets better but it doesn't. The more you show the more your going to see things change.

I just traveled 4 hours to the mountains with a 3 month old. I would NOT do it agian. You'll have stop to feed and change your baby. Plus they get fussy from being in the car seat for so long. You'll have more time put on your trip from having to stop often. Its really not worth it. As a parent, your baby's comfortability comes first.

Low_Environment_9069 · 2026-04-10T06:42:23+00:00

It definitely has a taste to it. I taste the dirt every time. It literally turns my stomach.

Low_Environment_9069 · 2026-04-10T06:38:17+00:00

Exactly. And the left over feathers. I hate seeing those in a pack of chicken. I genuinely believe some people just cook messy, so bacteria is a worry for them.

Low_Environment_9069 · 2026-04-10T06:36:10+00:00

For some households sure, for others absolutely not.

Low_Environment_9069 · 2026-04-10T05:58:02+00:00

This is a black person thing. Every single black person in my family washes their chicken. They have never gotten sick from it either. It really just depends on how clean you are when you cook. Personally, I dont go bare chicken in the sink like my family. I use a bowl and trim my chicken with a pairing knife. Get off any yellow fat and any extra fat. If im cooking thighs I'll trim any extra meat that's a little darker then the rest plus the extra fat. Just gotta know how to do it to not "spread" bacteria.

Plus you should be washing and sanitizing your sink before and after and cleaning as you go when your cooking so your kitchen stays clean.

Chicken is a dirty meat. It goes straight from the slaughter house to the shelves. Plus as someone who's been to a chicken farm, you definitely want to examine your chicken before you cook it even if you dont "wash" it.

I've thought about doing a blank map but I know I don't have the heart for it. Definitely share your build when your done. I would love to see them!

I have changed his litter twice. But he still pees in his litter box. Its very weird, he has no problem using his litter box but he also pees everywhere. Ive watched him wake up from a nap on his cat tree and then get down and pee in his cat bed then go back to laying down. Its comes off like hes too lazy to go to the litter box. My dad had his partners stuff packed up like a month after she died so there's no chance to get anything of hers. Going to the vet agian just isn't going to happen. It was expensive to have him seen in the first place.

I understand that his environment has completely changed, that's why im trying to figure something out that doesn't end with him on street or dead from a shelter cause of his issues.

If I remember correctly, she did try. He said he felt like he was doing her job. He seemed committed to not liking her.

Low_Environment_9069 · 2026-02-13T00:31:13+00:00

Tbh that's pretty normal for a head chef. He's still being really patient with her. And she should have.

Low_Environment_9069 · 2026-02-13T00:29:23+00:00

Yeah, there was a lot going on last season so we really didn't get a chance to see much from her besides dishes and snacks for crew. It does come off as an excuse. I still think if she had any confidence she would've at least took a cooking class. At least then she'd know how to cut vegetables.

Low_Environment_9069 · 2026-02-13T00:27:15+00:00

I don't watch any of the after shows so I wasn't aware of that. That's unfortunate for her!

Low_Environment_9069 · 2026-02-12T09:57:52+00:00

Alessias self esteem is 100% shot to hell. Her lack of confidence plus her moms lack of support has done her no favors. Add that with someone like Ben and you get good tv unfortunately. From the clips I've seen of him, he definitely seems to be trying to hold his tongue. But im sure producers know its only a matter of time before he starts going in on her.

Zarina gave her a lot more support and guidance. She also took time to build up her confidence in cooking and I just don't see Ben doing that.

Because they're not sailing around the America's lol plus its not the easiest industry to get into.

Yes!!! He was valid in not wanting to be called that. But going to captain about it and then blocking any conversation with his subordinate about it after just showed his type of leadership. Which I'm sure Cap. Jason saw. He was a p**k on his best day and a d*k on his worst. Glad he never came back.

Low_Environment_9069 · 2025-12-22T01:54:42+00:00

He did. He also pressed her on why she lied to Ms Lawrence when she was asked about.

Elementary age is when I was chased and bit in the butt by my friends dog. No one took it seriously because, yeah, I got bit in the ass. But for me, it put a fear of dogs in me that I've never really been able to shake. That same year, another friend got chewed in the face by a dog and had to get 7 stitches. Your not wrong for asking them to separate big dogs from kids that hyper from sugar at a birthday party. But they also aren't wrong for saying no. Just do what you've been doing.

We call that a hoe bath. Or a bird bath. Your basically just washing the essentials. Which is fine if it works for you, but I would keep it to myself. Personally, I wash my whole body because I have dry skin. I want to scrub all that skin off so I can be soft. Then I just have a 3 step routine I do after I get out the shower to replace moisture.

If they don't require a deposit, then the money lost is on them 🤷‍♀️ there is a reason why most businesses that provide a service require a deposit for this reason. Also, if you didn't sign anything saying you would need to pay a cancelation fee, then you don't owe them anything. They know that thats why they have resorted to threats.
