>"celeb" chef kitchens and only one has ever came across as anything but a giant egotistical delusional douchebag

I just watched season one of Hell's Kitchen and I don't understand how a chef with common sense could be "the man", "the chef" the way the show was run.
He had the chef contestants competing to be waiters and to roll the most spaghetti in two minutes. The winners always got rewarded by going out to dinner with Gordon.
It's striking that he came out of running a gourmet restaurant, which is supposed to be the pinnacle of class and culture and created so many hours of rank, reality show bullshit with nothing instructive about cuisine in his shows.
Whenever he redesigns a menu on Kitchen Nightmares he always says "This menu is going to be basic, basic, basic, simple, simple, simple, classic, classic, classic."
