The Infamous Grilled Lettuce | Kitchen Nightmares FULL EPISODE

But yeah he tried it with me a couple times (I'm 5' 8" he was like 6' 2"). When he tried it with me I would bend down at the same time 😅 he stopped doing it to me after that 😅

[@UpdoggWhattt]

@ I get that. It is a bit of a rude posture, kinda demeaning. Also, that is awesome how you flipped it back on them. Makes it apparent how ridiculous the posture looks. I feel like the only scenario that kind of thing is acceptable is a parent to a young child, or perhaps a sports coach or drill sergeant. Considering the latter, maybe that’s where Ramsay developed that posture, while “coaching” his staff. It definitely gives off a sense of authority.

Who Invented Caesar Salad? The Caesar salad is often believed to have been created by Julius Caesar himself. But it wasn’t. Caesar salad was invented in the early 1920s by Caesar Cardini, an Italian chef who owned a restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico. He moved to Tijuana from California to avoid Prohibition, and it was here, on July 4th, 1924, where Caesar is believed to have invented the Caesar Salad. According to his daughter, Rose Cardini, the restaurant was overrun with American customers. Short on ingredients in the kitchen, her father assembled what was left: lettuce stalks, olive oil, raw egg, croutons, parmesan cheese and Worcestershire sauce. Originally intended as finger food, the original Caesar salad recipe called for whole lettuce leaves, which were to be dipped in the dressing and then eaten with the fingers. It was a hit. Cardini's salad became so popular that it was soon being served in restaurants all over the world. Today, it is one of the most popular salads in America.

as a former server it's really nice to see how Gordon almost always forms an alliance with the servers, being nice and jovial. Normally you're the first one to get all the complaints and all the negative emotions into your face, as if you're responsible for how the restaurant is run, how the food tastes, etc. - and on top, there's often a lot of dissonance between front and back of the house in form of blame games, so you're not only used to take the heat from the customers, but also getting blamed and screamed from the kitchen...
