[@silverdollar1989]

It’s not a kitchen nightmares episode without the random camera man outside waiting for Gordon to randomly come out 😊

[@fardplayer5128]

actually is edited so maybe can be the camera man wich almost throw in the chicken scene, pretty sure he left from the kitchen first than ramsay so ye

[@eduardocastillo1489]

..and dried Beef Blood

[@veronicacrabtreehill6608]

Well it wouldn't be the sound man because he was beng sick in the basement as well as Gordon.

[@dunderwear]

(Goes out the back door) Ramsay : "Wow." + Insert terrible conditions (Walks away, camera pans out.)

[@NACLGames]

Well it's not that random. They will have multiple cameras on site covering what they know to be the most useful angles. And there's no need for the cameraman to have the camera at the ready all the time....all it takes is a quick 5 second radio squawk from the team inside, "Ramsay's coming out". What people think is scripted or massively over-filmed is really just good coordination, experience with getting good shots, and finding the right 'cast' (meaning the ordinary people who aren't actors) who create good drama all on their own.

[@DaQuanJohnson-ml1ec]

Gordon is right on point with the kitchen looking like a scene from Saw.

[@DaQuanJohnson-ml1ec]

Also, I can appreciate Kal for admitting that this kitchen situation is part of his fault, despite his mother trying to defend him and take the blow. No. It's not just Kal's fault on this, but it's everyone's fault too. It's like in a team, if someone fails, then everyone failed and take responsibility. Like I said before, I'm very appreciative of Kal for actually stepping up and admit his fault, unlike his mother and brother and everyone else in the restaurant.

What episode is this

[@jkmott84]

​@loganvoss3017 the new one, season 8 episode 1, Bel Aire

[@dutchvanderlinde6654]

Let me tell y'all something, the smell of rotten chicken is one of the worst smells you could ever imagine. It is just awful. That chicken was foamy on top, i'm surprised nobody died from that place yet.

[@davehowe4714]

Once you’ve been to a rendering plant a couple of times you’ll be alright with the stench. Best to send the newbies in on a full stomach too 😉

[@harrisonbetker2271]

I witnessed that smell, and I agree that it was NOT a pretty sight

[@martinlopez2816]

I have smelled it too many times too! It's probably WORSE than fish 🤢🤮🤮🤮🤢💀

[@RW-bt6ex]

Let me just add . I worked at cemeteries for 12 years , buried 1000s of people . When the raw chicken hit the floor and i saw gordon gag from the smell , i almost lost it .

[@celestial4762]

Not saying rotten chicken is bad, because it's extremely bad. But if you wanna test your scent for something bad, try Supercharger oil. It is the very smell of death to me.

[@SuperSoldierADHD]

Let me tell you, I would actually frequent this Diner since I was a child. I'm 30 now. I went to the diner about three maybe four years ago, and it was pretty bad. I went back again about a month ago, and everything was so different. Everything actually tasted good. And the layout was so different. And now I know it's all because of Gordon Ramsay. This dude came to my neighborhood and I had no idea 😂 Thank you ordan Ramsey for fixing Bellaire.

[@KaltKomeiji]

Yeah, thank you Ordan Ramsey 😂

[@SuperSoldierADHD]

@@KaltKomeiji LMAO. you know what? I'm gonna keep this unedited because it's funny lol

[@jthmastermind]

I love the fact he was able to jump right back in to this show after 9 years. I thought it would be overly-scripted or slapstick, but it isn't. The vibe is good. In fact, this newer series seems less scripted than the previous ones.

[@robertbasin1518]

Still his best show

Absolutely agreed

What’s the new show called

[@duckonaroll1913]

​@@UndeadSlayer5just kitchen nightmares its just rebooted

It is still 99,99% scripted. It's reality tv remember.

[@daniellederer293]

I truly believe he faked it

[@user0553]

​​@@daniellederer293they may or not but I can tell you chicken stench is so unpleasant. I once encountered an old rotting chicken dish and it's filled with maggots. I coughed so hard my face turned red. 😬

[@TTHBLOX_]

Love how in the new series the camera crew is visible. Shows their real reactions too

[@hilal_younus]

It definitely makes it more realistic and believable too, some BTS is always helpful. Especially when it’s Reality TV.

[@Goabnb94]

Could always say its Ramsay's job to exaggerate to make a show out of it. But the camera crew is there to film, not act. They get paid regardless, so their reactions are far more likely to be genuine.

[@shatteredsentient5321]

Those chickens died for nothing 😂

[@jayc7008]

They sure did lol 🐥

[@CockMcBallsddd]

I really don't know why that's even remotely funny. Every time you waste food something died for no reason. Its REALLY not funny.

[@daviscampbell9020]

Indeed. A sad thing.

[@GEES44DC]

The only reason those chickens had life was so they could die.

[@BadgerOff32]

Hey, they made it onto TV!? That's something.... ...right??

Everyone please remember the story of Food Lion. A grocery store chain where a worker filmed other workers putting spoiled chicken into the chicken salad. That’s what made people sick and it got them shut down. It’s up to us as people to SPEAK UP about businesses putting our health at risk for the sake of profit or convenience.

[@ryansnapfood3142]

it's realy just done to show the cinematic effect of what he's describing to viewers who may have not worked in the kitchen before

[@darkshogun5887]

This show makes a person really think twice about eating out. You never know how long the food has been stored or how clean the kitchen really is.

[@citadelofwinds1564]

I stopped eating out ma couple of years ago. I also stopped getting random attacks of food poisoning.

[@user-go8fp5xr3x]

Go work in a restaurant. Then you'll know that: 1) Everything comes frozen, powdered, or canned. 2) Nothing is fresh. 3) No one ever washes their hands. 4) Nothing is ever cleaned. 5) No one has a food thermometer. 6) Half the Employees never got a Food Handler's Permit. 7) The other half have an expired Permit. 8) The reach-ins don't reach 40°F. 9) Their seal is broken. 10) Nothing is covered or dated. 11) The only reason you haven't died of food poisoning is dumb luck. I stopped eating out years ago.

[@Cassie4486]

And this is WHY you report restaurants to your local health departments. They will shut them down and force them to clean their act or shut them down permanently.

[@Pumpkingaming_official]

You know it’s bad when even the recording and microphone people are reacting to it 😢

[@bryantan863]

This kitchen is absolutely disgusting because all the food has gone bad after being left in the fridge for weeks, months or even years. To make matters worse, the kitchen has not been cleaned up properly.

[@harrisonbetker2271]

At least Amy's Baking Company was spotless by the time Gordon showed up. And that's the ONLY positive I will say about that dump.

[@ingamingpc1634]

[@David_Camerwrongun]

As a former Michelin level Chef that grease build up is more than 3 months old from the amount and it's colour I'd say closer to 6 months which shows nothing has been cleaned in that time. Amazing no one died from eating or working there

I'd actually love to see Gordon find the health inspectors in these areas and ask them WTF is going on with them lol. That kitchen didn't get filthy and disgusting over night and these guys don't look like they could clean enough to save their mother's life even if they knew when an inspector was coming. The more I see of these places, the more I believe inspectors are on the take, giving out A grades for large sums of cash. No way should places like this be operating! 🤮

[@ripehoneydew]

Wait until you hear about who’s inspecting the grocery stores (it’s no one 🥴🤭)

[@krbailess]

I wondered the same thing. In Alabama we have health inspectors that do surprise checks. They check dates on all the food, storage, cleanliness, watch the staff, make sure the dishwasher and cleaning solutions have all the right storage, temperature, and chemical makeup, they check the temperature of the cooked food, the temperature of the freezers and refrigerators - I could go on for an hour. Where is this place?
