UK Kitchen Nightmares may be my favorite reality show. US Kitchen Nightmares is bottom-of-the-barrel trash. I was incredibly excited when they announced they were doing a US version, and immensely disappointed less than a minute into watching the first episode.

It was more hype of having the really loud, angry Gordon of Hell's Kitchen. Gordon had two years of Hell's Kitchen prior to Kitchen Nightmares, so US audiences were already used to "FUCKING DONKEY" as opposed to the UK audiences being used to "okay, let's take a look at your financials and things we can cut". US audiences also love extreme transformation shows. The UK version only makes mild changes in comparison.

As for Jack's TV debut: If it was a cooking competition as he said, it most likely was Chopped. They would have pitted Jack against Babish and Food Wishes in a "Battle of the YouTube Chefs"....and Jack would have been immediately destroyed in place. He tries to smokescreen by bringing up Guy Fieri shit and saying he doesn't respect the host, but we all know Jack would make some ugly ass abomination and be exposed on international TV.

Gordon Ramsay also had that show boiling point. He yells and shouts a lot but it's not nearly the spectacle that the US version is...and that's a good thing

Notably he calls one of his cooks a spic (approx 1:5, which gets a chuckle from me, but I'm 98% sure it has a different meaning over there.

Those shows started becoming predictable after the first season. Gordon comes and samples the terrible food from the failing restaurant. He then speaks with the staff and owners, then tours the kitchen. Gets some kind of sob story. They redo the kitchen overnight and he stays for two services. If they switched up the format a little bit from time to time it wouldn’t be as boring.

Sorry mods for double posting, but this is a completely unrelated topic to my last one so I wanted to separate them.

@TheLazyMan was having a discussion with a co-worker yesterday about what they were doing over their holiday breaks and the dude said he was so excited to be visiting Lexington BBQ. Lazy Man playing dumb inquired more about the place and the style of BBQ. And the co-worker directed him to a UNC produced PBS documentary about Carolina BBQ.

You can watch it in its entirety here: https://www.pbs.org/video/north-carolina-barbecue-flavored-by-time-ovoc68/

The part about Lexington BBQ (specifically the place Jack visited) starts roughly 19 minutes in. I think it covers some other places and styles as well. The host of the documentary is Bob Garner who is an NC foodie legend akin to the same way Rick Sebak is in yinzer culture.

All I’ll say about Chef Ramsay is this: 1. Apparently British TV and American TV has different sensibilities. 2. At least in America, Gordon Ramsay knows he has something of a persona so he plays into it sometimes. 3. How pissed he can get can also depend on if you’re a pro or not, and also whether or not you can get the basics of cooking down to where you have something resembling skills and sense and if you can swallow your pride and learn from your mistakes. If you watch MasterChef, he’s a bit more chill since those are home cooks he’s dealing with, and Joe Bastianich is probably giving less fucks than he is.

As for Jack, I think Gordon would bring the pain due to ego, and also doing this for years without any form of improvement despite presenting himself as this big deal on YouTube with a line of sauces.

I swear he has bpd or something. One minute he’s screaming at people for no reason and the next he’s think he’s the second coming and preaching love and forgiveness. You aren’t Christ, Jack.

Fuck this guy is mentally challenged. You really need to be absolutely retarded to say one thing that you yourself don't practice but pretend like you do.

jack is claiming he was invited to "star" on a cooking show and he is speculating that the unnamed host is guy "fiery" who he doesn't respect for some reason (after praising him for years when he tried jack's sauce at the swap meet)

Like Mushbrain would be invited on a show with Guy. He likes to act like he's some kind of superstar but outside of Youtube nobody knows this retard.

Ladies and gentlemen, mayonnaise cake.

This hurts me to admit but while it sounds nasty, mayo can be used to make a cake.

What are the main ingredients in mayo? Oil and eggs. What goes into a cake? Oil and eggs. Yes you tend to use butter but if you want your cake to be a little moister you can substitute a neutral tasting oil in part for the butter. It's no different than using sour cream or yogurt in it although that's usually to give the cake a bit of tang.

Mushbrain on the other hand just wants to eat mayo with a spoon.

There's that but also if you compare Kitchen Nightmares in the UK to the US he's a lot more forceful and angry in the US version but that's what people want to see. He's playing it up because that gets the ratings. The production company does this on purpose and deliberately edits the videos to make it look like they're at each other's throats.

It's all for ratings.

Yes but you don't use the whole jar. Also Jack literally did eat mayo with a spoon in this one. He was so proud of that he put it at the front of the video to boast about it even though it happens later in the video. He had something like 2000 calories of it, never mind the fat, and I believe used something like 7 sticks of butter in the whole recipe, which I'm pretty sure is not the recipe.

NPD alert: People with NPD tend to lose their shit when proven wrong or if an opinion directly opposes their views.

Keith asks a simple question (what's the purpose behind Jack's post?) And Jack comes back accusing him of being a critic of his work.

The biggest tell of someone with NPD is gaslighting. "I'm sorry you disagree. That is your choice." Keith didn't disagree with anything in the first post, Jack gaslit Keith into thinking he did something rude, and then doubles down by saying that this was Keith's choice. Jack is a fucking dickhead.

Jack says that they close the restaurants down during filming of 3D, when Keith refutes this claim, saying he was there when they filmed, Jack doubles down by saying he talked to an owner. Motherfucker, Keith was actually in attendance for filming, so if anyone has a clue on what they do, it would be him.
BTW, they're both technically correct. They pack the restaurant, and sometimes the owners will let their best customers know ahead of time, but for the most part you line up, if you get in cool, if not, sucks. You're there until filming is done and no one else can go in or out.

The classic "So, the first time you comment on my page, you criticize me."
Not as good as the "If you're going to criticize me, then you should do it in private. Send me a DM."
Or even better, "It's never a compliment when you say something nice then you add "but"."

Boiling Point is also great, and is what kicked off his career. He'd still be working in kitchens instead of being worth half a billion dollars if it wasn't for this show.

Aside from the spic comment, he also physically assaults a cook in the show by grabbing a dudes neck. The cooks are always flinching away when he gets in their face, so there was undoubtedly a history of physical abuse that was worse when the cameras weren't there. You can see Ramsay smirking when they recoil, so the guy clearly got off on it.

It's pretty amazing that this show from the late '90s-early '00s eventually turned him into a household name where now it would get you canceled. Ramsay weirdly also hasn't aged a day from when this came out - dude has the best plastic surgeon on the planet.

Sorry for the sperging.

They're yanking them, apparently. What a huge surprise since no one gives a shit about his Jelly of Fail. Jack being Jack classily responds with a threat. Shit talking Walmart and Doit, the two main vendors that took the time to stock the shit, seems like a weird business move but also classic Jack.

I’m guessing DoItBest stopped ordering way before they said they would because no one wants to pay an arm and a leg for his lousy sauce.
Merry Christmas, Jagoff!

Damn, I guessed it would last a year. We’re not even six months into this partnership, and it’s already sinking.

This will end hilariously. In about a year, Jack will be sitting on roughly 95 per cent of the initial run, and we’ll be right back where we started with this shit: an ageing, expiring batch of Jacksauce that he’ll attempt to sell off through Amazon.

Which one of the vendor compliance requirements or performance standards did Jack fail? For anyone interested, here is Do it Best’s compliance manual, which @Sauce Wholesaler posted earlier in the thread.

i noticed that while the sauces are still available on the website, the only shipping option available is "ship to address"

remember, jack's whole thing with the doitbest partnership was that you could order the sauce and have it shipped (for free i think?) to your local doitbest store where you would go pick it up. maybe they decided to disallow that option because no one was buying it and that's what fatty is complaining about? or like @FatJacksFatAssTongue said, they simply told jack they wouldn't be ordering any more sauce once their stock runs out because of low sales

Jack must of went to bed angry after yesterdays massive bitch fit and woke up angry again.

Jacks wishing ill will towards a company that his gay brother works for who helped him get his shitty sauces to be sold at through a program because no one wants to buy said shitty sauce.

 

[stets]

Ship to store is working for me, so it must be region dependent. That it's gone for you tells me that once it's gone from a regional distro center it's gone for good and they're not reordering it.

As an aside, one of the nearest Doit franchises to me is a road supply store. It's almost like selling BBQ sauce at the place where government contractors pick up rebar and asphalt was a bad business move. Who could have seen that coming?

it could be a variety of things. If Jack is shipping via drop-shipment, then he has to be available for direct customer service calls. Knowing the way he interacts with people kissing his ass, how would he handle customers that are pissed off? Stores start complaining that Jack's a shitty businessman who doesn't follow the rules and DoItBest will drop his ass like hot rocks. They have very little leeway when it comes to preventable bullshit.

Way to thank his brother who got him an in with this, which of course he blew by being an utter fuckwad. Incidentally here a couple different formats I'm seeing:
