    American Dream right there, being an unimaginably brash asshole to subservient employees, and that makes you famous.

    In his (our?) defense, isn’t he usually fairly kind (if still foul-mouthed) to the staff, and relentlessly harsh only on the owners?

      For Kitchen Nightmares that’s true, but Hell’s Kitchen is another story altogether for his persona.

        Well, in Hell’s Kitchen they’re contestants. That’s just our inherent schadenfreude towards people who volunteer for anything.

          I wouldn’t really consider them volunteers in any kind of way, as it’s a contest where the winner gets $250k and the chance to work at one of his restaurants…

        Kitchen Nightmares was fairly educational. The format was:

        GR: expert advice, pragmatic offer of recommendations, expectations of compliance

        Owners/Chef: “No.”
