Tell me /ck/, what is the general consensus on this man, and more importantly, his internet followers?

I litterally have no clue on how he's though of here, /tv/fag you see. Do you appreciate his businesslike commitment to his food? or do you feel you'd rather eat from a bro like Ainsley.

The reason I ask on his followers is, on youtube you're always reading comments from fascist like idiots claiming anyone who disagrees with him deserves all the shit they get because he's so godly etc.

>> No.4220337

We don't take him too seriously, but then again you shouldn't take /ck/ too seriously. We think Alton Brown is some kind of latter day Escoffier. I'm pretty sure /b/ has a higher percentage of people who actually know about food.

He is a renowned chef, and owns several 3 star michelin restaurants.

He is a good chef with a perfectionist streak and I loved his early TV work.
However, as a US TV "celebrity" I don't rate him at all.
The screaming angry man routine he and/or some marketers have thought up doesn't appeal to me.
I feel most shows he's involved in nowadays are sub-par remakes of great shows like Kitchen Nightmares UK or Masterchef Australia, focusing not on a passion for cooking but on interpersonal drama.
I wish he'd go back to a more involved style but he's probably getting rich as fuck selling Gordon Ramsay brand steak knives or something.

>> No.4220369

ausfag here who can safely say tat the us masterchef focusses on food WAY more than the aus versions (versionS we've even had a GD kid's masterchef), the drama makes our shows unwatchable.

>> No.4220395

Kitchen Nightmares and Hell's Kitchen are fake reality television garbage, The F Word is alright, and any show involving him where it's 100% cooking is boring and uninteresting.

He's really quite one of the most boring chefs that's hugely popular.

Maybe you should look at how many stars he has.

Mediocre? He is one of the most recognizable chefs, has a huge bank account, multiple television shows, etc.

Those grapes must be pretty sour if you think he lives a mediocre life.

It's not the meanest I object too. In high stress situations that demand consistent high performance, one must adopt such a way of dealing with people.

But you can see in contrasting older shows, esp. the English ones with the new stuff that he plays up a character a lot more. Back then, he got angry when it made sense. Now he's just a walking stereotype.

I think there is just an *assumption* that he is like that, but his newer shows, like Ultimate Cookery Course, that jail thing, and the "travel to asia" stuff from last year are almost devoid of temper tantrums. I think TV producers, especially american ones, kind of play up his temper for dramu, but he's not really changed much himself.

No? The tantrum comes from U.K/France/Italy the three main culinary countries.

I'm not sure I really understand your point. He busted his ass and worked his way up by his own graft to the point where not he is as rich and famous as a chef can be; obviously he is going to be somewhat different. Hell, I'm different than I was in the 80s, and I didn't get rich *or* famous int he meantime.

It's perfectly fine if his yelling makes you uncomfortable because you are a delicate flower, but it's just ignorant to call him no-talent. There is literally no basis for calling him that; you're embarrassing yourself. I mean, you can hate OJ Simpson because he's a murderer, but that doesn't mean he had no talent at football, and trying to argue that he didn't would just make you look retarded.

he's a highly talented chef but not much as his reputation lets on. His saving grace is he really knows restaurants and fine dining. He could dictates almost every aspect of how things are done in his restaurants. This man really set the bar for what should be quality control. His cons are his pallet is a bit simplistic and so is the food he makes. I'd gladly eat something of his than something of alton brown's. I don't think alton brown is much of a chef anymore. He's just kinda of a food network personality they parade around because he's the one fucking person on their network with any sort of class.

Have you ever considered that he pretty much acts the same way all the time, and the editing of the particular show you're watching determines which Gordon Ramsay you're going to see? On shows like Kitchen Nightmares, of course it's going to be a highlight reel of his anger. I also hope you don't think that they film the entire show in an hour as well.
