Obviously that's brand dependent and older ones are likely to be less efficient.

Gordon Ramsay is not a good person. The awful environments he creates in his kitchens, whether on TV or not, completely outweigh his skill as a chef. And he's not even a good teacher compared to how good of a chef he is. Maybe Gordon Ramsay cooks at a higher level than Kenji in traditional fancy restaurant contexts, but since Kenji is an even better teacher than he is a cook (and is also actually a conscientious and empathetic human), Kenji wins that head-to-head in a landslide.
