S2 E7: Kitchen Nightmares 2023 S1 E7 - El Cantito Cafe

TW: We discuss some body-shaming by Gordon. In this episode, the cheftestants play Squid Games, we find out if Jean-Phillipe (the Hell's Kitchen Maitre'd) has a doctorate in music, and we start to see the method behind Gordon's substantial madness.

Trigger Warning: Discussions of Gordon Ramsay body-shaming one chef on the show. Hell's Podcast: The Ramsay Report is back! New eps every other Friday morning! In Season 3, we're recapping Hell's Kitchen Season 1, made in 2005, when Gordon Ramsay was way more problematic (not that he's perfect now, but yeesh, it was worse back then). In this episode, Nick and Christine adjust to the incredibly fast pace of Hell's Kitchen, discuss the Gordon's Butt War (again), recap Gordon's bombastic intro to the United States, and address Christine's very specific version of face blindness.

In this episode, we philosophize over the real purpose of high-top tables, discuss the scarcity of cult leader/cult follower relationships in Gordon Ramsay shows, and become real reporters by calling someone at the end of the podcast with one hard-hitting question (or maybe it's soft-hitting).

TW: This episode contains conversations about emotional abuse as depicted in the corresponding episode of Kitchen Nightmares. In this episode, we find out that sometimes, Love does indeed Bite.

If you or someone you know is dealing with abuse, there is help out there. You can reach the Domestic Abuse hotline at 800-799-7233, or text START to 88788.

This episode of Kitchen Nightmares is closer to a typical example than the preceding two episodes of the new season. It covers an owner in denial, some beleaguered servers, and an exhausted cook who hasn't had a day off in who-knows-how-long. We also discuss Taylor Swift's new bf, start a new tracker, and Christine picks a great hill to die (or dye) on.
