Please upload more raw videos, I find these much more enjoyable over the shallow drama.

[@aileencho5293]

I was just thinking that! Nice to hear more from the sous chefs.

[@HESHRocketWarhead]

Not only that, but this shows that they do more than just stand at the pass all the time idly waiting for food. They do get stuck in and try to get people to cook the food correctly. At least in the first couple services, anyway. The edited footage almost never shows them at one of the stations backing up the chef(s) that're there.

[@roxxarus1809]

Reminds me of the one episode in a later season where the sous chefs (I think it was Andi and James) did the whole service by themselves after the teams both flopped. When it's edited like this, a feat like that seems a lot more tangible and requiring a lot more talent than it sounded before, which was already insanely impressive. Major respect for the sous chefs.

Without the Sous Chefs, they would never get any dishes out at all !

this shows so well how pressure builds. its' quiet but chaotic and every small mistake causes a cascade of setbacks. its much easier to understand both why some chefs crack and why Chef Ramsay flips out. he tries so hard to guide them to success and each time they mess up he pushes them. what really upsets him isnt simply messing up a dish, it's a lack of communication, awareness, and honesty. this is the greatest idea for a series ever

[@AnimeLover4Life3395]

Honestly this makes hell's kitchen see much more doable to me. Ive always been tempted to apply, but after this I might just jump on it. They will help you if you can show that you learn and grow. From almost having your hand held to the first service to just a single question in the second

[@heymistercarter.]

One thing I think a lot of people forget about the first two HK seasons: barely any of the “chefs” competing on these seasons were pro chefs or made their living as such. Like if it were today, more than half of these people would be on MasterChef, not HK. So part of the reason there were so many mistakes in these early services is because most of these people didn’t have a clue what they were doing. I think it was starting with Season 3 that they started casting legit chefs to compete on this. And one of THOSE chefs was viewed as a weak link because she was a Waffle House chef! She would’ve had more kitchen experience than half the cast in the first two seasons!

[@tultiden2040]

I was so annoyed with how the red team treated Julia (the chef who worked at Waffle House). She finished breakfast service for BOTH teams, and yet everyone sees her as a liability. Meanwhile, there was Jen who thought cooking trash pasta was okay, and Julia was the one who stopped her from doing that.

They had Jessica and Dewberry, who were a headhunter and pastry chef respectively as well, but everyone else had jobs like "Office Assistant", "Account Manager", "Purchasing Supervisor", "Server's Assistant", and "Finance Manager". So over half the people on that season weren't pro chefs. As for Season 2, other than Heather being a Sous Chef, Keith being a Bartender/Chef, and Rachel being a Personal Chef, most people had jobs like "Former Stockbroker", "Caterer", "Fishmonger", "Marketing Exective", and "Deli Manager". Even if you count "chefs" like Virginia (salad chef), Garrett (Former Prisoner/Prison Chef), and Maribel (Cafeteria Chef), they weren't working in the same types of kitchens as the people you'd see on later seasons.

Great idea, please do more. This is how a real kitchen sounds. No background music or editing. Wonderful change even if you watched 100 times with the sound.

[@mikeu9420]

This is great! Love seeing how much he leans on his sous chefs. You really don't see that in the broadcasts.

[@ryans413]

What I saw from this there were many times Gordon and his sous chefs tried to help and the cooks continued to fail them. No wonder why Gordon gets so upset. The women spent 90 minutes on one table and still didn’t serve any food. The edited episode make Gordon out to just be mean but he actually is not his frustration is more about not getting any food out.

[@Garganit]

A Show that I already re watched over and over again has INSTALTY became 100% more rewatchable with this "Served Raw" format, Loving this! "Are you looking for a part as Shreks asswipe" was BRUTAL btw

[@gimmick2509]

Wow, this is instructive. It shows sous-chefs are more involved than it might seem while watching the actual episodes. And Ramsay gets mad at them too for their mistakes, no one is safe at HK

[@MouseyWoo]

Love watching the service like this. Makes moments like Sarah cheering even funnier. I'm guessing there's still an element of editing because it seems like a nearly 2 hour service is packed into 45 mins. For instance 30 mins of service seemed to pass in 10

[@MouseyWoo]

Not complaining about it, just curious about the time skips

[@Jd18122]

Now I understand her cheering a bit more. It took them almost 2 hours to get a table served 🫣

[@breadbxsket2]

It seemed more like it begins an hour into service?

[@kommisar.]

@@Jd18122 They easily tossed out more food then they served. The customers would have been better off eating somewhere else.

[@Akechifan]

​@@MouseyWoothey are probably cutting out them just cooking without anyone talking.

[@kodoqbesar4301]

Without background music and sound effects it feels weird lol

[@oN3xShOtxkilL]

It feels like I’m back in the kitchen again

[@alexloya2847]

Just imagine just actually being there at the restaurant without the music or the sound effects

[@d3vsy]

Shows how much snagging is needed to make things watchable

[@weirdwitcher]

Feels like Kitchen Nightmares UK lol

[@terrygames8409]

Feels real & not a stupid cooking show just for money

[@Mohahmed121]

I like this it actually shows Gordon’s right hands also get scrutiny for running their respective kitchens

[@Mohahmed121]

Also poor Jean Phillipe always getting Ramsay’s Wrath… 😂

[@EustacioDuarte]

This is by far the best thing ever. Im a hells kitchen /Gordon Ramsey addict so this is nothing but pure bliss experiencing the dinner service as if you are table side! Please continue!

[@spoghettiman3303]

Ooh you got me hehe😂

[@sir_numbskull]

Love how at 16:07 she spots a ladle on the floor, casually picks it up and wipes it off like it's ready for use again.

[@OrenBerlin5]

I knew it would be Sara before I even saw it

[@SuperCockinballs]

I can't believe she made it as far as she did far in the season

[@AuraSparks]

D:

[@Mathewmartialart]

i seriously prefer this raw version over the original. cant we please have the entirety seasons like this.

[@PickledThyme1]

OH MY GOD THE FACT THAT THE RUDE CUSTOMER SAID DICED I CAN'T

[@saffronia2992]

This has made me feel so much for Gordon and the sous chefs. Also I like how the normal show makes it seem like the dining room is full to the brim but they only had about 10-12 tables between them.

[@austinperry1671]

That’s anywhere between 2-8 customers

[@MARIA-qk8rb]

Me watching the edited version: "That's not a big mistake though that's impossible to hold back the whole service." Also me watching the raw videos: "Oh... that dragged down the whole team because of one returned raw lobster..."

[@popopipi1278]

In the edited episodes, I always wondered how chefs were able to keep up with how fast he called the tickets. This actually seems like it’s doable and he gives people multiple chances to hear what’s on the ticket

[@GurahkWeavile]

I love this. Nothing too over the top, just showing dinner as it was with just the kitchen's ambience to convey everything. Honestly live these, keep it up!

[@romacechina]

Can see why Mary-Ann is not fond of her time on Hell's Kitchen, having to deal with some really incompetent chefs or ones that had never worked on the frontline, kitchen before coming on HK. It would drive anyone nuts after a certain point.

[@Daffy_C]

I like this version. Nun of that stupid over editing that usually happens. Shows you more a realistic side of how the Kitchen actually is.

[@Mr64jaime]

Yes! -Without the annoying narrator narrating everything that just happen 2 seconds ago. -Over editing tryng to make every chef as incompetent and making any mistake appear as if anybody could cook the dish perfectly everytime. - And its extreme use of the waterphone, it brings the over-the-top "acting" down to an actual kitchen that you'd hear in a restaurant as you're eating

[@Ina_Toma]

@@Mr64jaimethe waterphone is so overused I began to find it annoyingly funny

[@Tayvin4042]

​​@@Mr64jaime The waterphone is one of those things I used to never notice but now that I do I notice it *every* time XD

[@elvickRULES]

I’d love if they could do this for every season and service. And for Kitchen Nightmares, I hate the editing of most Gordon shows

[@duncandisorderly9445]

I had the honor of working as a commis on Gordon’s line before. I hate how much the American shows make him come off as an unhinged lunatic. This is the Gordon I remember. Extremely tough, but fair.

[@xanmontes8715]

Man, I wish I could experience that...

[@PTRK490]

Ratings and views. They don't care about Gordon.

[@NicePudding]

I love this version. You can really get a gauge on how Ramsey runs the kitchens a lot more in this than the edited versions. The edited versions really dont show how much he does work and is able to lead both kitchens. Please show more of these videos. Also shows how much his souse chefs are involved as well. Such a refreshing change. Ive been watching this show from day one and i really really enjoyed this video. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@NinjaDog251]

Yes! Seeing raw footage is an amazing way to breathe new life into the show we've already seen!

[@FudgeYeahLinusLAN]

This is absolutely fantastic! Turns out the music is actually not only completely unnecessary, but also detrimental to the experience.

[@mrping2629]

It would be amazing to watch the full dinner services with Raj in them.

[@Deafeatist]

Talk about box office kitchen shenanigans

[@samuelreinhold2464]

I hope they release more seasons in this format. I skip every part of the normal show where they aren't cooking. So this is perfect, all cooking, no cuts, it really lets you see what it was actually like.

[@xSmootx]

Yeah this was pretty good. I'm in awe for how high quality this looks for 2006 and how the production company behind this channel has sat on this unedited footage for YEARS. Would definitely love more S1 uncut sessions as well as other seasons to boot. My favorite moments: 8:44 19:58 26:29 30:06 - 30:15 34:34

[@stevencoardvenice]

Randomly tells JP to f off He abuses his French wait Staff even more in Boiling Points (1998)

[@aileencho5293]

Somehow "where's my pumpkin" guy came off as even more of an entitled, rude brat without all the drama and editing.

[@acotbc]

Some things I found interesting: -Chef Ramsay telling Garrett and Maribel to 'pick up' the dessert orders right after announcing the first tickets. It sort of sheds some light as to Ben's mess-up in actually bringing the desserts to him when he was told the same thing in Season 5, but maybe someone else can explain what exactly 'pick up' means in that context. -Gabe getting leaned on for some quail here, which may explain why, in the second service, he asked Gordon if he needed quail when it wasn't even on the order. -The infamous Pumpkin Risotto customer actually answering Gordon's "would you like it whole or diced" question. -Maryann just having no patience for the circus show in front of her; no wonder she moved on after Season 3. -Heather and Keith, usually rock solid, having some hiccups here. -Giacomo and Larry shown actually cooking something. -How painful the entire experience must have been for Gordon. The editing down in the actual episode really softened it for us. When the customers start chanting and cheering from the dining room, he just looks and sounds completely defeated.

[@akatsukinaty]

Gordon's face at 30:06 has me in stitches

[@BigNothing69]

17:56 That look she gave when Gordon asked her to taste the risotto. She already knew. 18:50 Slam dunking that food. She had ENOUGH.

[@mujtabakamran8887]

18:47-18:53 I just noticed Virginia is telling Polly to re-plate the dish by adding cheese and salt and then Mary Ann just chucks the plate Virginia told Polly to replate in the trash, then Virginia shuts up 😅

[@mushmello526]

I know how it's presented on TV isn't always the best for individual contestants, but Kudos to the editors. Everyone has a microphone, they need to go through hours of material, sound lines for every contestant and Ramsay, they need to cut many things together that fit. Not an easy job

[@justbodies877]

I appreciate Jean Philippe's patience even more. Dude has to tolerate, shuffle BS and be cool.

[@SchweitzerMan]

This is what we need. Not sound effects or stock music to let us know that the scene is tense. We can SEE the tension, we can FEEL it. I love seeing this; I love fly-on-the-wall programming like this.

[@ashc151]

This is SO GOOD! It’s fascinating to see how the kitchen works without all the editing and music! Please bring us more!

[@Lievyon]

This is fascinating. Didn't realize they get this much help and still fail.

[@Tassie85]

Oh I love this! None of the music and forced drama. A bird's eye view of an actual service. More of this, please!!

[@Isaac_potion]

This was quite good. It gives you a proper insight to how a service is run. Honestly I can't remember the orders Gordon shouts.

[@cyin974]

This raw version makes Gordon sound waay more reasonable and helpful than in the edited one, and the cooks waaay more incompetent lol

[@TheIceLurker]

More of the raw videos pleeeeease this is a completely different experience I love it. You see Gordon helping, you see the sous chefs helping it’s not just them yelling 24/7. This is awesome

[@unuseableb]

It would be nice to see a raw version of a good service as well. To see the contrast and what a good performance looks like in Hells kitchen

[@emanueltheodorus1056]

Would love to see S17 Blue team's service on Episode 8. It was so smooth that the only "flaw" they have is Robyn kept calling everyone baby.

[@BoshiNoshi]

I am loving this a lot! Keep making these because I love the natural tone this episode gives off. No dramatic sound effects and no cuts to what the contestants thought after the service was over. Although some people might not like it because of that I for one could watch this endlessly. Its like seeing a whole new side to the series.

[@AshtynNightWolf]

This is amazing. I've been re-watching all the seasons of Hell's Kitchen and I was just thinking the other night that it would be so neat to see the show without any cuts or edits. It's always so interesting to me to see the whole ordeal. Love behind-the-scenes type stuff.

[@akatsukinaty]

I absolutely NEED more served raw videos. Thank you for this one!!

[@r3an1mated_36]

These uncut episodes are pure gold.. Really give you true perspective of how bad it is and that these cooks really don't manage to get appetizers out in 90 minutes. Pure pure gold

[@UchihaSavage]

You need to do more seasons served raw, I’m utterly hooked on these, more so than what was televised! It’s been said before, With no music or sound effects, it’s a lot more representative of what it’s like in the kitchen!

[@worthlessfools1]

This is fantastic honestly. Love this; you get a better picture of what is going on, you see a bit of the real Gordon and not the evil TV persona, and it feels more like a cooking show / competition rather than a TV drama.
