[@citizensnips2348]

@shadmanhasan4205 Italy has only existed as it is since 1946, the kingdom of Italy was late 1800s I think but that wasn't all of it today. It was composed of city states and independent kingdoms between the fall of Rome and then. Much of Europe was the same really, even say in France which has existed as a kingdom for millenia, you can still divide it into areas of different languages or dialects, which only relatively recently were combined into a single common language and identity. It's really fascinating. And so much good food to discover. But yeah, northern and southern Italian food are completely different. Equally delicious, of course. Sorry, that was way longer than it needed to be.

Gordon once said in an interview that the difference between hell's kitchen and masterchef is that in hell's kitchen those are supposed to be professionals while masterchef are cooks, home cooks, and other who just picked up cooking as hobby and he recognized that. Which is why he is less harsh and provides more feed back in masterchef compared to hell's kitchen

[@JRAndrach]

Yeah, that's kind of what drew me into this show at first, but then they do the Hell's Kitchen-like restaurant takeover challenges, and all of that goes out the window. These are home cooks who don't need to produce dishes in that environment and have likely never done so. Putting them in that situation and expecting the perfection level they seem to want really takes me out of it.

[@pedrokotii2417]

​@@JRAndrachI mean, it's fine closer to finals, since people who get that far would most likely be scouted and could use job experience. But early on? Nah.

Gordon is a very kind person, he’s only aggressive and harsh because he wants you to be amazing, he’s tough on you because he believes in you! Joe has no regard for any of the chefs and just likes bullying them, that’s why I can’t stand Joe!

[@estebanramirez1178]

This is description of Gordon is exactly why his meme exists (“Oh, dear! Oh gorgeous!” VS “YOU FUCKING DONKEY!”). He’s a tough teacher, but a teacher with pride. There is no hesitation on his part to help a kid who’s supposed to be the cream of the crop because he recognizes that even if they are the best, they are still learning and eager to receive praise. He comforts the kids, explains what they did wrong, and how they could do better and try again. That’s why in Gordon’s other shows, especially in Hell’s Kitchen, he’s much more aggressive. In some of these shows, he doesn’t coddle the new chefs, but he exercises a lot more patience compared to Hell’s Kitchen, who have had their time and experience to hone their skills, so he is inevitably angry when someone talks big and comes up short.

[@DreadTheMaximus]

Gordon is like a father cause he only is agreesive and harsh on you because he cares for you. Joe is just that Step father that hates you.

[@sexuallyactivetoyotaprius3454]

Yeah, you can always tell that Gordon just wants chefs/cooks/contestants on his shows to succeed and be great based on how he shifts how he talks to them based on what they need. He's hard on the professional chefs with years of restaurant experience and huge egos but SO much softer and gentler with cooks who don't have that kind of training or who just lack confidence. Joe just seemed to delight in his role of being the 'mean judge' and trashing cooks, which really sucks because you know some of those contestants were really deeply hurt by what he said. Even if their dishes weren't good, there's a difference between constructive criticism meant to better an individual and just trying to tear someone down to make them cry on television.

[@CreativeAnimations3]

Joe’s the perfect example of what happens when you make Gordon’s rage and language of insults your entire personality.

[@spicezona]

Gordon aint even mad at like amateur chefs. He gets very pissed at PROFESSIONAL chefs because he has high expectations for them because they are supposedly pros at this. For example hells kitchen

[@Brambrew]

The problem with Joe is that he tries to emulate Gordon's criticism without being constructive. Gordon is harsh, but when it comes down to it, he has heart.

Gordon is like the dad that's hard on his kids because he knows they can do better. Joe is just a professional asshole.

[@diemonder]

and gordon at the end of the day genuinely cares. he’s harsh, but it’s because he wants to push them to the next level, not to shut them down or be a bully. his criticism is always backed with actual feedback, encouragement, and action to support the person he’s criticizing. sometimes his harshness will hurt, but the difference between him and joe is that joe’s criticism begins and ends with being a dickhead. gordon will go the extra mile to work with you and genuinely help you improve, because he genuinely wants to see you improve. not only with feedback, either. there’s plenty of footage of him teaching chefs how to improve their cook, or if his criticism ends up hurting the chef, him talking them down and encouraging them. he does a LOT for the people he criticizes, because cooking is his passion. but joe just wants to be a cunt.

Because the Joe we see is a reality TV character/persona and not the real Joe. The same can be said for HK Gordon vs MC Jr Gordon. He takes on a totally different role/attitude depending on what he needs to do for his show. Even HK vs MC is different and he's a lot nicer and more forgiving on MC with home cooks. Joe plays the heel so well on MC and he makes a great heel in general because he has a naturally abrasive personality.

[@Exorbulla]

I think you nailed everything wrong with Joe perfectly here. I was never the biggest masterchef fan, but I did watch quite a few episodes, and I always hated Joe. My biggest problem with him is the fact that, as you said, he almost NEVER comments on a persons dish, he is never happy, and he always personally insults the competitors. Gordon for example, is harsh too, he provides great entertainment value with how harsh he is, but at the very least he will actually tell you what is wrong with your dish and how to improve it. On the other hand, Joe is just like "Your food sucks, you are an embarrassment, I bet you got straight Fs in school, also your hairline sucks and your mom is fat, go home kid". It is just so pretentious, annoying, and just plain wrong.

Here’s the ironic thing. Joe believed that Howard was going to win MasterChef during his audition where he made a basic cobbler, and was so confident he went out and told everyone he believed Howard could win. But once Howard was in the MasterChef kitchen he naturally underperformed, and every time that happened, Joe would bully and berate him because it shows joe’s own incompetence. As untalented as Howard is, it’s not his fault that he failed entirely, it’s also Joe’s fault. There’s a reason why auditions exist, to seperate the good from the bad, if Joe was any good, he wouldn’t have given Howard an apron, let alone go out and tell everyone Howard would win. On the other hand, Joe completely underestimated Christina purely because of her disability, and yet she excels throughout the whole series, proves everyone wrong and wins. Funny that.

Garlic bread stems from bruschetta, which appeared in Italy around the 15th century, and can be traced back to Ancient Rome.

[@yungsgxno]

He is right, garlic bread is not a thing in Italy

[@timedragon1]

@yungsgxno I lived in Italy, yes it is

[@MNthal]

​@@timedragon1are you talking about bruschette? Because I live in Italy and we really don't have garlic bread

I want to see Joe and Marco Pierre White on the same panel so Joe can get humiliated.

I’m a trained chef, and my professors tell me I’ve got good skill at analyzing things but I’m not even confident in my own ability and to think someone without my kind of training is doing it is awful

[@cptcolgenltmajor9246]

Joe’s presence as a critique is a reflection of the industry. He’s the restauranteur who you could end up working under and he’s got a bigger mouth then he’s got any right to have regarding food.

[@elrapido5150]

All because his parents made the business.

Joe has no real culinary background and is a complete a$$hole. He has no business being a judge on that show. Alvin from Master Chef Canada can be a pretentious a$$hole at times but at least he has actual culinary background and is likeable most the time.

@@elrapido5150 Exactly: Joe is one of the prime examples of bad nepotism there is. If his mom wasn't a world famous chef, he'd have no career.

I feel so ashamed for Joe putting down Christine like that considering she's Vietnamese, American, and a Buddhist who tolerates Gordon ramsay's behavior, she gave him one spectacular dish that was incomparable to the others, and he just threw it in her face

[@trydodis690]

My favorite Joe moment was when a chef presented a dish that had meringue in it and asked if it had raw eggs in it, the guy tried to explain it was meringue and he still just refused to eat it and turned away. That’s the equivalent of being served a burger with a sauce containing mayonnaise and refusing to eat it.

Bastianich also was a judge for the Italian Masterchef for a period, so I am inclined to defend him a bit: the first, let's say, 2 season he acted just like you are describing him in this video. Then, when he realized his act was getting old, he kinda mellowed out and especially his interactions with chef Cannavacciuolo were funny af. So yeah, this is just a character he is supposed to play. Just to draw a comparison: Chef Barbieri is the only judge that has always been part of the show since season one and has taken the role of the evil one, the most feared and the most aggressive in his criticism. He also is the judge for another show named "4 Hotels", which has a completely different vibe since all the participants are professionals. In that show he's a completely different character, he is always cheerful, has a dorky personality and even in his complaints he always keeps it cool.

[@kero8136]

That's great! He's still an ableist asshole.

[@BruttiF27]

Chef Barbieri is a great entertainer, I don't know how, but his presence gives me joy.

[@ramonserna8089]

Barbieri is Italy's Gordon Ramsay: An overrated chef that lives of past glories and nowadays is mostly clownish entertainer and restauranteur than chef.

[@TheRevenantEdits]

I am 100% convinced Gordon Ramsay is just a few steps away from choke slamming Joe to the pavement XD

Honestly....... hearing a lot of the shit he did off cameras. I'm surprised he isn't kicked off MC.

Wait what did he do

[@roberttrotter557]

I could never make it on shows like this because I’d respond so quick to judges like this.
