The British version is so much better. Although, it's much sadder because he tends to go to places with decent cooks, but awful business owners, which is much harder to fix than a filthy refrigerator.

Incidentally, how do some of those restaurants in the US version not get shut down by health inspectors? Is it part of the agreement with the producers, they'll come film and remodel, but in exchange you let them fuck up your kitchen and make it seem really gross?

I certainly don't run a restaurant, but I have to imagine shipping in fresh ingredients on a daily basis must be terribly expensive and not a lot of people are going out to restaurants as much as they did in the past. So I certainly sympathize with these owners who buy in bulk and then just freeze it.

There was this one episode where a seafood restaurant was using frozen and canned fish. The worst part is that the restaurant is located on a lakeshore and Gordon went fishing in the middle of the episode outside the restaurant for ingredients he was putting on the menu.

>>10579356
If you don't get a lot of customers than you really don't have an excuse to buy in bulk and freeze it. Most responsible restaurants will keep a record of the amount of product they are selling every week so they know how much to order and at what point in their inventory they should restock.

>> No.10579542

>>10579506
You have it the wrong way around. If you don't have a lot of customers, it may well be cheaper to buy in bulk, and you'll likely see more variance, relatively speaking, so knowing when to restock will be harder.

It takes 1 calorie to raise the temp of a gram of water 1°C, but it takes 80 calories to turn a gram of ice into water. You can safely assume that something major is happening in those particular couple of degrees.

Yeah, like some fish are pretty much instantly frozen after they're caught, lots of shit from the arctic (and they live in below freezing temps pretty much anyway) and here's some chilly tuna from one of the main nip markets

>>10579621

One thing that's never really visited (besides how're they're often hugely in debt, which isn't necessarily a bad thing) is that lots of times their banks just say fuck off and foreclose the restaurant after gordon leaves, so there's literally nothing that could have been done.

there was a soul food place on the UK one that this happened to and the lady running it wrote to the papers saying "Ramsay's advice actually made me make money hand over fist but there were all these acronyms I just didn't understand so the banks blew me the fuck out, so now I do catering instead"
