Would you, after only seeing a kitchen for a couple days and not being instructed on any of their food just jump in and take over a kitchen with a bunch of people who don't know you? That doesn't fly at all. I work in a kitchen and if I were to be playing a supporting role and my head chef quit and some random guy said, "OK! I'm taking over everyone listen to me!" that would throw everything off. Especially if the guy had only taken a couple days of just glancing at what we did. Ramsay is amazing, I don't deny it, but come on... You seriously can't expect him to jump in on some restaurant and take over. Not to mention you can't expect a kitchen staff to recover from that. Your comment is obviously ignorant( which isn't bad! you just don't know!). Kitchens are tougher than you think and every one is different.   See 1 other reply
