Why do they always lie?

Do they think of a three michelin star chef isn't going to be able to tell that his food is frozen?

And why do they always defend their frozen food like it's some culinary revelation?

Is it just denial and/or pigheadedness?

Because it's a television show and it's more entertaining that way.

>>8913281
Even on the British one when it hadn't become too "reality tv" some of the owners would still try and lie about their frozen food until confronted.

>>8913248
Most will likely get told to lie, the shows are set up to be as entertaining as possible with specific dramatic cuts and things intentionally placed (ie putting rotten things in fridges) so Gordon can comment on more shit.

>>8913248
Producers deliberately seek out retards for the show.

>>8913104
It was already in the freezer when we rented the place chef

>>8913248
To be fair frozen food isn't such a big problem depending on what you are serving, regular people won't mind

Why would u ever go to a fucking restaurant to eat frozen food? What is this mindset?

>>8913414
Except that these restaurants that have no customers are always serving frozen food, claiming it's fresh on the menu, charging exorbitant prices for it and are bemused that no one wants to eat there.

>>8913116
>Kitchen Nightmares
I've always been wondering whenever food is really that bad in that kind of "restaurants" or it's highly exaggerated.

>>8913463
if the food is good and its something you cant make at home than whats the problem?
>>8913465
and restaurants that do have costumers do it aswell, its common practice

>>8913476
What is something that a restaurant can only get frozen that I can't get at home?
If I go to a restaurant I expect fresh food, is it different in america?

>>8913484
>What is something that a restaurant can only get frozen
thats not what i said at all
you expect all sorth of shit like the kitchen to be orderly and clean and the food to be fresh and not reheated
expectations =/= reality

>>8913492
Are you telling me that I can't expect a clean kitchen and fresh food from a restaurant? Then why go to restaurant at all?
Those should be the fucking standards

>>8913506
Guys a fucking retard, the only thing I expect to be frozen at a restaurant is some desserts that should be frozen and maybe a couple of weirder sides that get deep fried depending on the place. Literally the only thing when I worked at a restaurant that we had frozen was ice cream and these shitty deep fried okra things. All dressings and BBQ sauces were made in house , dry rubs, cakes and pies, fries, mashed sweet potato. You got nothing but tike at a restaurant for prepping stuff so shit better be fucking fresh, frozen cunts need to die.

>>8913506
If you don't like it then you wouldn't go out to eat. Restaurants are NOT CLEAN. Every single one has cockroaches and reheated food.

There are good food poisoning ?

>>8913615
Not him but there are certainly degrees of food poisoning.

Having to wake up in the middle of the night and shit water is good food poisoning.

Spending the whole day switching ends on the toilet so you can alternate between vomiting and shitting and being unable to stand up straight is bad food poisoning.

Dying is really bad food poisoning.

>>8913615
On a scale they can range from "man I do not feel well" to "erupting out of both ends that make Mt. Vesuvius look like a bubbling brook"

>>8913618

I've worked in restaurants in the US for years and this is not true.
Your best bet for clean restaurants are smaller upscale joints.

Giant places will be more likely to have pests, shitty hole in the wall grimehives will tend to be dirtier, fast food places can go either way depending on the management.

I think this right here is the most true answer. I've been in food service a long time, I've worked in a few places that were a little dysfunctional but not to the point of being a million in debt plus. I would close my restaurant before I let myself dig deeper into that huge pit of debt. Sometimes you just have to admit to yourself that what you're doing isn't working. Fold it up. Try again

I thought diners would be given an alternate meal if they are not served.
I've also heard that most get a lot of food and they only zoom in on the hungry ones.

>>8913989
Never forget that a lot of the restaurants he visits are only afloat because of baby-boomer or older regulars that wouldn't know a good steak from a paper bag.

Especially for the older crowd. There used to be a "real food" buffet in my hometown (fried chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes, etc) that was absolute shit but was really popular with old folks.

>>8913519
This is true. You know I read you eat a pound of rat crap every year?

Only in movies do walk in freezers lock people in. It's against the law to have freezers that do not unlock from the inside.

>WHERE IS THE WATER
>IN THE BOTTLE CHEF
>FOR FUCKS SAKE

frozen foods in a restaurant are absolutely haram unless it's a dish that uses peas as an ingredient because when they're frozen and used in a dish they keep their form and don't get mushy

peas on the side tho, that shit better be shucked from the pods on site

also frozen french fries are acceptable

Ramsay needs to learn from the master.

These are all fried foods except the pasta and Desserts, the pasta was also rarely called to be made, as the linguine and penne was more popular.
Everything else was refrigerated.
Of course, the steaks, and pork chops were frozen and thawed the day before needed, same with garden bar stuff like ham cubes and peas.

One of my best friends opened a restaurant a few years ago. I went back to visit and hung out there one night to watch football after closing.

He made a killing on breakfast but not lunch. Literally because everything else was frozen. Had lasagna that day, but it was a few of the giant Stouffer's Lasagna because it would be too much work to make it. Never doubted it would fail just because of that.

>>8913414

Realistically, how am I to even know whether they are cooking from fresh anyway if they don't have a see-through kitchen? They can always lie about what's fresh or not and it's not like they will allow me to go peek in on the line to confirm anything or not. Honest question.

Even I was guilty of some of this shit, but that's just the nature of it.
