[@AGJ117]

What I really like about Gordon is that despite his yelling and harsh nature, he seems to genuinely care about helping others be successful in all the shows he does.

[@annehajdu8654]

He's really down-to-earth and honest. Shines through his amazing food.

[@MetteC5]

Of course. Here in Europe we know it's just a character he plays for drama seeking US producers & public. He's a wonderful, generous, warm guy - which indeed shines through in his food. It also shines through in the great series Gordon Behind Bars, that you can find here on KZbin (all 4 episodes) - highly recommended!

[@yanivhilel1995]

despite him yelling ? ? harsh nature ???? you know nothing

[@USAeee]

Indeed ❤

[@ethanfrench9111]

That’s not anger people see, it’s passion.

[@l.a7710]

My dad was 60 when he had me. he was a workaholic and was worried he wouldn't make it to my school graduation. He saw me married with 3 degrees. I am in my 40s now with kids and I feel that my father came from a different generation because I have a greater understanding and appreciation for world arts, classical music, ballet, reading and old school manners.

[@taviaturner3070]

What does this have to do w Gordon Ramsay????

[@mattrock12]

@@taviaturner3070Gordan Ramsay spoke directly toward this at the end of the clip.

[@luvdatbud]

Don't let my wife see this lol

[@Mark72672]

Gordon is truly an extraordinary person.

[@shortylucy]

He’s the sweetest teddy bear that’s a little rough around the edges. He has passion for food, for what he does and he loves his family so hard. He has had my respect for ages.

[@christinawatkinsyoutube]

I absolutely love this man. I am so inspired by his work ethic, family mentality, humility and talent. what a guy. so excited to see the new KN series

[@theunknowncommenter725]

Big fan of all of Gordon Ramsay's shows. He is really exciting to watch as a person.

[@karins.2853]

There's something about him that makes me wanna pay attention ...I have no desire to be a professional but he's amazing!❤

[@BillyBreezeArt]

This is the softest I've ever seen him. And I love it

[@Itsunclegabby]

Look up some footage of him learning with Marco Pierre White. :)

[@beckscroft18]

The level of reapect I have for Gordon, the way he saw his Mum & Dad raise him and then go on to be the amazing kind, loving and caring Father/Chef/Husband is truly admirable. ❤❤

[@allalone5810]

Since I watched Kitchen nightmares I became addicted to watch it. And I love Gordon Ramsey. God bless him and his family.

[@melissaphillips3088]

He is real about everything and you have got to respect that. Gordon is so sweet with his kids. I am sure he can be strict at times but a softy at ♥️

[@totallytania7978]

Gordon seems like a great Father and Husband!

[@AlenBoy95]

Man id love to break bread with the man. Always seems like a genuine good dude. Thank you Chef for a lot of great memories!

[@carolynturk-hu7je]

Excited for "Kitchen Nightmare's" being back!

[@robbiet8583]

Me too!!!

[@tumblweed80]

Love Gordon. I know he’s a big softie and a lot of the yelling is for TV. Little Oscar is so adorable and looks like Gordon.

[@kristindekalands5108]

Excellent mentor. Very proud of Chef Ramsay

[@TinyDancerO]

NO NEPO babies in his household. Gordon and Tana have done a great job in raising normal kids, despite his fame.

[@lindafrizzell6824]

I’ve always liked Gordon Ramsey but I think this clip is the best at showing who the man really is. I so enjoyed this. He is not the screaming, cursing and rude guy you see on his shows. Yes, he can be, because that’s what everyone wants to see…it sells! Of course he can be tough, you don’t get where he is by being a marshmallow.

[@mphomndebele236]

I love this man . just an epitomy of drive and excellency

[@Grant80]

I live yo have a cooking lesson from him.

[@carolineallen4367]

I am so happy kitchen nightmares is back!❤ I have big respect for Gordon. A person I would love to meet someday.

[@BellaB411]

If I could meet one person in the celebrity world…it would be him. I’d love to watch him cook.♥️

[@stephaniebarbour7855]

Same!!!

[@LifewithCheyi]

I love Gordon!! Such a great person! Has great family values and work ethic. He’s awesome!

[@RippinTheRoofOff]

And she just had number 6. They’ve got 3 of each now. 💙

[@LifeClipsPodcast]

I spent years as a restaurant manager but have said time and time again WAHT an honor it would be to manage one of his restaurants. The standards he has would make it the BEST job ever!! I would love to meet this man. Great guy for real!!

[@lineprestkvrn9014]

The Word is that he is a really nice person off camera. I can see that from this interview.

[@FishingWithMichaelTruong]

What a cool and candid interview with Gordon Ramsay. He does appear to be a big softy and I think a lot of what is portrayed in his TV shows are for effect, drama and shock factor (which always helps with viewership numbers) Rock on Gordon. I'm a big fan :)

[@gemmag.2988]

He is harsh in the kitchen with professionals but is a big teddy bear when dealing with kids especially sick children. He seems like a thoroughly nice kind bloke quite apart from being an amazing chef. ❤

[@cps7962]

chef ramsay is the best. he always pulls the best out of others. despite his yelling he is not yelling at the persons. he wants the best set high standards and tries to bring out the best in others.

[@joe_isom]

This man is one of my favorite human beings on the planet. He is the embodiment of “tough love.” He’s also super handsome. ❤

[@MrMusicSA_1]

This man is an inspiration to me brilliant and so humble and down to earth despite his success true example of hardwork and staying true to yourself. Respect to that.

[@16MedicRN]

Everyone knows he's a softie 😂 More seriously, when he started the prison food company, he was all we've seen before. Strong, caring, no BS, wanting to give 2nd chances, and caring for the prisoners' families. I just love him.

[@ivanflores2207]

I died when Ramsay said im gonna be at his school for sports day and his friends gonna say hey who’s ya grand dad 💀😭

[@janejohnstone5795]

Love his positive outlook...even though he is rough around the edges..he is a good role model for success..

[@user-nh3ps4rl9q]

It nice to see This soft side of being a dad 11:42

[@KathyRopa-uk9ws]

Great chef, family man and person. Love his cooking shows he does at home with his family. Just the Best!

[@Grant80]

I like how hers screaming yelling at the owners but sweet as to the serving staff. I had a friend met him years ago. She said he came over saw how she wasn’t we’ll have her a hug and got his staff to look after her. As well. I love his house. I want that kitchen.

[@MsJenniferinNYC]

So much to love about Gordon!! His humility, determination, passion for excellence, food and family what more is needed? ❤️He's so high energy too! My hubby is a Scorpio too and Scorpios are veeeeery determined!! ❤ Gordon Ramsay!

[@stephaniebarbour7855]

Listening to him talk about his family is amazing

[@Giminey]

Kichen Nightmares is my favorite. So glad you are bringing it back.

[@rosedejernett3860]

We all love you Gordon and the whole Ramsay family!!!!!!!

[@yamilehearn8211]

What a nice family. I respect Gordon Ramsay. He comes across as such a caring man.

[@58jennypenny]

[@FuzzySamurai]

hell's kitchen's youtube channel is releasing uncut versions of their dining segments and u can really see that gordon is mostly just teaching them and helping them out.

[@lotte2504]

So good to see this side of you… i have been your number one fan for a long time 🥰 greetings from Holland… an my dad is even a bigger fan of you ❤

Awesome story told

[@juliethompson8685]

Gordon is a one and only. Love everything he does.

[@liamfahey7836]

Great to listen to that side of Gordon.

[@robbiet8583]

Gordon Ramsay is Teacher of the Year, every year, when teaching would-be Chef’s how to accomplish their goals!

[@rainingskittles6975]

I sent this to my 14 year old. She responded with, "I bet he calls his kids idiot sandwiches 24 7." 🤣

[@hollyraymer2959]

He loves his wife and family so much ❤

[@melodyfeddeler6434]

I watch all his shows...love them!

[@lazyjane1223]

[@marybrand1977]

I love me some Gordon Ramsey. All your shows I watch. Lovely family.

[@sfardanali]

I absolutely love this human! Ugh! ❤❤

[@SuzanneLieberman]

I have the utmost respect for Gordon

[@YourSecretIsSafeWithMe]

“It’s RAWWWWW!”-Ramsay 😂

[@macycharmin]

That's a great interview! I had a hard time getting into Hell's Kitchen, one, because I don't watch Fox often and there was probably something on a competing network that I was into, and I always worked 2nd shift so prime-time tv was at a minimal for me. Two it gave me a little anxiety lol. I loved the show with him cooking at home, I don't know the name of it and only saw it on utube, it gave an inside look at his home life and showing how to cook a great dish, it's very enjoyable to watch and also see his kids pop in here and there. Kitchen Nightmare is cool because he's trying to help the proprietors be successful, and Next Level Chef is awesome. It's really neat to have seen his children grow up. I think Gordon is great!

[@jc7052]

Gordon you have a beautiful family and many beautiful homes,enjoy them you deserve everything you have.

[@jamesducey2685]

Complete respect for Gordon and his true appreciation for family.

[@melaniecarroll2538]

Gordon Ramsey…2023 Man of the Year.

[@beatricemtu163]

He is a genial one-time born chef! He is a wonderful husband and father! I can say: He is The Brilliant Success ❤❤❤❤

[@DaaiDaaiable]

LOVE Chef Ramsay!! Period. Wishing him, his family,and all of you who’ve read this post the very best of luck, good health and happiness❣️cheers🍻🙏🏻🫰🏻

[@debbieparadis5885]

I absolutely loved this, and yes, Mr. Ramsey, Oscar, is going to be your little Mini-Me, I can already see it all now.

[@mrp846]

Blessed kids I would love to lean from Gordon. My fondest memory as a child would be sitting and watching my Mom cook for hours. Only reasently have I found my love for cooking and I spend why too much watching cooking channel. My favorite chef difficult I love the why Marco explains which Gordon has also picked up. Keep it up love watching Gordon cook.

[@lovecleaningslay]

So glad Kitchen Nightmares is back !!

[@thebl4ckd0g]

Beneath that rough, angry Scotsman exterior. Is a nice, caring cool dude and a good dad. I feel like Gordon gets a bad wrap with how he is on his shows or when he's in his restaurants. But I think he gets so angry bc he really does care - about the food being good and the people involved in making it and serving it. You can see that a lot not only in the shows he has - but even the videos he's done cooking with his kids. :)

[@teresaschneider6726]

Congrats to you Gordon. Love your shows. I can't wait for your new show. 👏🏼⭐☝️🤗

[@ninetanyas]

I love this so much. An inSANELY magnificent chef, that loves and lives for his family. I love this.

[@mattgiant8836]

I love this man.

[@georgesgflorida4863]

Gordon is an amazing person brilliant

[@leonbanks5728]

Should've brought Kitchen Nightmares back next year.

[@user-cc3pg5jb6z]

He is the best!!!

[@LindaJohnson-hs6wf]

Adorable you chef RAMEY 😊 ❤

[@stephaniebarbour7855]

I love him sooo much!!!

[@courtneycolquhoun1184]

My father & him grew up in the same area! Remind me so much of eachother... Scottish culture is very intense. Proud & strong we are. 🇬🇧🫶

[@adrianaevseev7655]

Amazing father!!!!!

[@r8edrv4fun65]

We need more Gordon Ramsey!!

[@helenzambrana]

I absolutely love Gordon Ramsay 😍❤️

[@johnbailey5133]

I do hope they have at least one more child! People like his family are what the world needs more of! (People Cover Story, how has he not been named sexiest man alive yet)?? Mary B

[@buddy2016]

A love this man, a good Scottish man

[@dustinsanchezmusic5851]

It’s obvious Gordon has true passion about what he does and it frustrates him when other chefs disrespect his craft

[@paulcarroll7054]

Kitchen Nightmares is my sort of program. Love it! Many of these restaurants need someone to tell them the truth..

[@patsheppard2616]

If you want to bring back a great show the one with the children competing against an adult chef was great the Masterchef jr. was great. An enjoyable show. They behave much better than adults.

[@meadow8787]

I love him!

[@terryrutherford2114]

Give yourself and especially your wife another baby! Thanks for the video!

[@rahulbose4323]

Brilliant

[@terrinew9474]

I'm also a big fan of Gordon Ramsay!

[@devsanghera7273]

No matter what people may think of Gordon Ramsey, but I will admit he’s a hard working down to earth type of person. He’s had a restaurant fail early in his career, but made sure he bounced back from it and now he has restaurants around the world. If I was in the position of the restaurant business and I was failing and he came to help me I would 100% make sure I took his advice seriously as he’s successful and I would want to be as successful as he is now.

[@emiliamachuca1998]

Why is Gordon so calmed :0
