I never quite understood the need for the particular social dynamics in there. I guess it produces good chefs...? Although we have no proof what kind of chefs would've been created by other ways of training. In Ramsay's case it's of course also part of his show persona, but when you see how gentle he is with kids, it's obvious that he chose to let the rude shouty side of him shine instead of his patient mentor side.
That said, I would absolutely crumple up and die in a professional kitchen. I like to do precise stuff, I like to do it fast, I like to work hard, but if you keep yelling at me I'm done and also I might cry in the soup.
Thank you for the read and very true re: Gordon and kids.
He definitely leans into the character.
Having never worked in the industry, I'm taking Bourdain at his take on why it's such an intense environment. "Kitchen Confidential" is so good and that presentation I linked to goes more into the different mentorship paths (nice vs. mean): https://youtu.be/dVDkmJuEdDo?si=Phy1z88U9XBn645T&t=618
