Ramsay, by the way. Important for googling (ha, genericized!) the guy.

Hell's Kitchen is a certain show, which has Ramsay over-the-top for
dramatic purposes. The "real" Ramsay is almost never going to be on ANY
TV show. There's a third show, one that follows him around the world
and films him at various interviews or public appearances. He's often a
pretty nasty guy in those shows.
