Have you watched the British version Kitchen Nightmares? Ramsay is very pleasant and patient in it.

Part of it is the US version really plays up his reputation by using editing techniques to drum up the drama for viewership, part of it is that if you watch the show occasionally, some of the restaurants he tries to save in the US are genuinely disgusting and should have been shut down as health hazards.

I was rewatching some of the earlier seasons and it's extra obvious he also intentionally pokes at them to get them to lash out before having the heart to heart moment to help them. It's fun/sad watching the episodes and then checking that one website to see what ended up happening with the restaurant.

I see, will try to check on UK versions!

Thank you and everyone else who replied for contextual info.

Nah, dude is actually very nasty in his early day, taking from his master's nastiness. Marco Pierre White once verbally abused Gordon so much to make him cry, but once both person grow old the nastiness slowly leave them, so the Gordon and Marco of now is actually a bit more pleasant, yet the legacy they and a lot of other chefs left for the industry is an abusive one.
