I think he has Asperger's. Made it work for him.
But I listened to Marcus Samuelsson's book "Yes Chef"
"One of the juicy tidbits from Marcus Samuelsson's memoir "Yes, Chef" involved this one time Gordon Ramsay called him a "fucking black bastard" for not naming Ramsay among his favorite British chefs. Ramsay's spokesman denies the account, accusing Samuelsson of writing it simply "in order to garner publicity" for his book."
Guess who I believe? Huh? Can you guess? Can you! It's the guy not named Gordon Ramsay!
Yeah, he's totally fun to watch and I do watch, but I have no illusions about his character.
On Master Chef Joe Bastianich bugs me more because he just wants to look like having a cool stare means he's a culinary expert.
Yes, chefs do think they have to be assholes to succeed, but Eric Ripert and Jose Andres are not assholes and have excellent food and don't make me want to throw things at them.
I enjoy Hells Kitchen but at the same time it pisses me off because I knew the prize had to be bogus.
No 5 star restaurant is going to take an unpedigreed "chef" as their head chef just because they won a contest on a reality TV game show. I did some research and it doesn't look like any of them did. Most times it was in name only and was for publicity and the winner soon bolted after they discovered they were a line cook with a title only.
