Elisa getting all offended because she has to learn how to mix drinks. Worst bartender ever

[@djhorn5769]

That lady has a pretty serious attitude problem. Everyone should know how to make a gimlet in the bar business. My mother was a bartender in the mid to late 90s, and she’d probably kill me if she found out I didn’t know what goes into a gimlet either.

[@M2161]

Right! What a stupid mentality. Just because people at your bar don’t order a certain drink all the time doesn’t mean she shouldn’t know how to make it. She could use that knowledge and get a job at a bar that doubles her current salary . But hey why have more knowledge and make more money?

[@ChumyHafter]

The way those girls look at him when he says that everyone wants tacos 😂

[@newyorkfan16]

Yeah guys wants CRUNCHY tacos, not lettuce cups, only women like to eat lettuce cups so technically he's not wrong. Women can make ANYTHING seem sexist, just so she can get everybody can look down on any man telling a truth about women in America. HOWEVER, It's a very clever business strategy, since typically women spend more money than men do. Women contribute 86-95% of consumer spending.

Does He knows how to make drinks

[@KaaneDragonShinobi]

@@SlayerFan961 I've never seen Gordon Ramsay say he knows everything. I've seen him eat crow when he made a dish in something that he's less versed in like Thai, because he's French-trained. He knows how to take a joke. Confidence in what he's mastered =/= "knows everything." I think you're thinking of Jamie Oliver lel

[@SlayerFan961]

@@KaaneDragonShinobi Gordon Ramsay never uses a second opinion when it comes to KN or even HH, Jon Taffer slammed him for being inefficient at one point and he's right, the reason why GR has only 20% success rate in both KN and HH is because of his inefficient ways of doing the whole thing, like tasting the food himself before going in the walk-in (that's why GR had bathroom issues and often went to the hospital to get treated for his stomach ulcers). He may not say it, but his attitude says it all, especially when he insults others and then goes "unbelievable" when he gets insulted back.

Dear god please bless us with full season of Bar Nightmares so we can see Gordon and John roast people together 🙏

Out of all the episodes, the one I refuse to rewatch is "Get Off Your Ass". Not because of anything that happened in the episode specifically, but because of the fact that afterwards Brad decided to remove his own daughters as managers, and let the business fail again. Not only is Brad a low-life scumbag of an owner but a father too.

I personally don’t like the idea of a lettuce taco however I think they can still have it on and leave it to see how customers think and have it as a sort of substitute thing

A lot of places I know would kill for that. In my state those would make a killing. All the health freaks out there and made up food allergies. It's a money maker for the right place and they do have them at different restaurants. Just, not sure it is fit for a bar.

Offer it as a vegan option or an alternative. Let the customer decide! They're the one eating it so why not just offer it to them and let them decide!

How is he wrong with calling out the lettuce taco? He's not even saying it tastes bad, but just doesn't want it on his menu. Honestly, these shows, rather than giving them a completely new dish they wouldn't know about, they should ask the chefs what kind of food they want to serve, and the ones helping present it better cooked and prepared, with maybe a few changes to it.

It’s all dependent on your personal flavor pallete. If you normally use lots of seasoning then just old bay is gonna be bland to you. Lots of chefs act like the natural flavor of each ingredient is perfection, where as lots of home cooks prefer to use lots of seasoning because that’s what tastes good to them.
