OTOH, Ramsey seems to have had more success with US restos. I recall
a website that went back and looked at the UK restos and the majority
went back to the same bad practices almost before Gordon could get out
the door, and therefor failed miserably. US restos seem to take his
advice and run with it, successfully. Also, I think Gordon has calmed
down quite a bit since his early UK shows. Not so much berating,
screaming, and cursing, which I think is remarkable considering how
totally arrogant most Americans really are. I think some of these
jokers deserve way more a tongue lashing that Gordon delivers.
