Kitchen nightmares has great radicalizing potential because you can see just how much the owners fucking suck in every episode, how inept they are at their jobs and how much they rely on their employees to know what to do
E: it's still reality show slop carefully edited to present the same narrative arc in every episode but you can't edit out the fact that the dipshit owners are the ones causing the problems
Yeah I actually think by and large Gordon's work shows how incompetent petit bourgeois are.
While 10% of the time a cook or chef is burnt out and producing subpar food, 90% of the time the owner and management are at fault (huge menus, stupid concepts, power tripping.
Also say what you will, when the owner in Amy's Baking Company pockets the tips Gordon goes hard that it's illegal and immoral to do so (even asking customers what they think, lol).
btw the couple from Amy's Baking Company later bought a house on the West Bank
Holy shit you can't make this stuff up lmao
