  • LOL at how the indian dude needed subtitles!

    hahahaha

  • vikas is sooo sexy

  • The big difference between Ramsay's American show and his British show is the budget. Look at how they are able to completely refurbish anf completely revamp the American resturants, while all the British Restaurants got was a coat of paint and a tacky hand painted sign if they were lucky.

  • the guy in the right at 1:54 looked like Les Stroud

  • "Mr Vikas is so cute, he is a magician to me"... lol

  • Oh my god Andrew's hat at the start and you missed all the best bits.

  • If you make under 100 as a waitress is pretty bad. Breaking 100 should happen each day for a waitress at a decent restaurant.

  • hell yeah... 20 dollars a go at atip least by any respect

  • I just eat there. 7:00 pm and the place was empty, the food was tasteless the bill was $80.00 and %18 gratuity was added on the bill for a tip that was $12.00 for her to come to the table twice what a terrible experience. This show is edited to make it seem like Gordon turned the place around.

  • The British series actually shows the restaurant a month or two later. Many fail. The US series is shit.

  • he has a team of painter and decorators!

  • this is really done poorly

  • Hi, if you'd like to watch some really cool and different Indian restaurant curry recipes then please click on my profile and view my channel.

    Give them a whirl, and let me know how you get along...

    Hope you enjoy

    Cheers

    P.s Clarissa Dickson Wright of The Two Fat Ladies fame praised one of my dishes so much that she put my dish (fish with ginger) in her "best-ever-eaten-dishes list"; she also mentioned my restaurant in her autobiography.

  • The best thing in this relaunch was getting rid of dead weight Martin. The new menu is fantastic.

  • If I may interject a comment re the show into all this backbiting and rage against nationalities, (all of you need to calm down, all countries have good and bad so let's just all focus on the shows rather than this petty bickering.) thank GOD that HORRIBLE mgr is GONE; what a total and utter asshole! He was DISGUSTING!

  • Haiti doesn't have any good.

  • Funny how the world 'hates' Americans so much but you ride in our wake like seagulls picking the refuse we discard. If it wasn't for the US, most world economies would collapse or be consumed by larger economies. Honestly, without us you would have one country in Europe ... Germany and the Canadians would still be walking around in Beaver skin caps living in mud huts. Sour grapes to take swipes at the big dog you can't beat straight up.

  • what a dummy

  • stfu yank at least clean up ur restaurants if u wanna cleanse the economy.

  • the world doesnt hate america, just the ignorant americans

  • Well said. I've met a lot of decent folks from the US. it's just a small group who give everyone else a bad rep.

  • There are ignorant people everywhere, I don't know why it has to be associated with what country you're from. Awareness isn't a birthright.

  • the world hates ignorant swedes too.

  • Why even say the world hates ignorant swedes? How ignorant of YOU!

    The world hates ignorant people!

    And you are obviously hated!

  • Yes you are.

    :O

  • no you you you you you you you

    "ignorance" is actually an ancient swedish word meaning "sweden".

  • Your stupidity is frightening.

  • pardon me for laughing, but the word "sweden" is actually an ancient swedish word which translates roughly into - "dead brain".

    so, obviously you can see the irony in your calling me "stupid".

  • First off could you please give us a scource of this?

    Sweden in swedish is sverige and I can assure you that it doesn't have the same ancient meaning.

    Sweden have had some of the most famous people in the world. I bet you use tools and alot of stuff that's been invented by a swede.

    Sweden is actually still one of the worlds smartest countries. So theres nothing wrong with our intellect.

    To say someone is ignorant due to their nationality is pure stupidity, and pure ignorance.

  • that's a common misconception..."sverige" is actually archaic norwegian...its modern translation is roughly "ikke-norge" or "not norway". so yes, "sweden" is a norwegian word meaning, "not norway".

    the only tool i use with any regularity is called a helkka-calibrotor multi comb and was designed and engineered by finnish engineers at swarthswerg university, USA. i guarantee you it is not even available in ikke-norge., and probably never even heard of.

  • How convenient that no one else ever heared of it.

    As history says it was due to one persons asking another to get help from the "svea" (midd of sweden) people for help. If they would get help from them, they could call the kingdom for "svea rike", but as the guy speaking less nordic and more like he was from danmark the other Birger heared him wrong, so it became Sverige!

    Has nothing to do with norway to do!

    Read a book instead of a tool some finnish bloke made.

  • First you say Sweden is an ancient name in SWEDISH for "Dead brain"

    Then you say Sverige is a norwegian word for ikke-norge!

    What kind of drugs you on? Pick up a history book instead of listening to a software a finnish guy made! Hes most likely pulling your legs.

    Read about Birger Mangusson and his family!

    The name Sverige comes from the people living in Svea! Which is the middle part of Sweden.

  • lol!!

  • Why wont you say history is wrong?

    I bet your tool you're using is telling you the pyramids was made by aliens from outer space.

    I hate to break it to you but sweden aint an ancient swedish word for dead brain. and Sverige aint norwegian for ikke-Norge.

    Ask an Nordic historian about it and he will tell you the same.

  • its really amazing how easy it is to fuck with some people.

    do you know that swedes are known internationally as total fucking idiots? this confirms it. did you really think i believed that shit i was MAKING UP???

    LOLOLOLOLL!!!!

    "sweden is swedish for dead brain" lololololol

    holy shit, this is too good to be true.

  • Really? What country you from mate?

    I got friends for all over the planet and none have ever heared that swedes are known for being fucking idiots.

    Funny you say that as Sweden have won International Knowledge Competition several times. And been one of the top nations in the competition for a long time.

    We are also one of the western countrys with the highest IQ average.

    An average swede understands at least three languages and speaks normally at least two.

    Hope you didnt choke.

  • Hope you're from the US! I probably know more about your own country than yourself, if thats the case. Americans are not exactly known in the world for being brainiacs.

    But please tell me which country you're from.

  • i'm from a very small country called Bättre än Sverige. our land is on the 36th parallel north and lies just above mount haaktens, a volcano continuously erupting for over 120 years.

    we are a proud people. we worship the band, BAAB, and our largest source of revenue comes from the manufacturing and exporting of our most popular auto, the baas.

  • Well Im not going to spend more time arguing with a lower being.

    /ignore

  • gaargle griggle.

  • let us know when you are hit with cancer or anything that will be the end of your life. that day will be our cause of celebration.

  • Wow you "people" are the gift that keeps on taking! You benefit from handouts of my tax money then wish cancer on me. Isn't that nice. I can't imagine why you can't seem to take care of yourselves. SO much hate. Disgusting.

  • Speaking of so much hate, my scale of hate only leads to wishing your death. However, my sickness doesn't compare to your sadistic mind. Sorry, but your tax money ain't shit and does shit. For all you know, the government is wiping their shit off your measly tax money.

  • Well can we have our money back then, you parasitic welfare case??

  • You just another of thouse idiots that love to pick fights over the internet with your idiotic and ignorant behaviour.

    I am going to ignoring you from now on. My intellect is surely much greater than yours.

  • Yes, go to ignoring me, oh great intellect!

  • You are fully aware of that americans come from mostly european countries from the beginning? and it wasnt that long ago either!

    And the world economy is crashing if you haven't heared! And to enlighten you the USA have borrowed so much money thru the years, (Alot from european countries) to stay alive that it have gone to a point where they are facing a total bankruptcy!

    So be a bit humble!

    And it's not the civilians in the countries that gives them a bad rep its the governments!

  • New York City the mekka of fine dining???LOLROTFLMFAO!!!!!!!

  • Theres far far too much music in the background, its fucking distracting.

    Music to tell you what emotion you should be feeling

    :S

  • agreed, and how the hell did a yu tube posting about a crappy indian resrant in new york city turn into a discussion about canada??? wtf!?!?!?

  • That idiotic-looking guy with the cell phone was a total crybaby who shouldn't be running a lemonade stand let alone a restaurant. If you believe what you saw on the tube, the place was a disaster area - I wouldn't be caught dead and decomposing in that rat hole. Good thing that bozo quit his job towards the end of the episode. For all I know, he's just gotten fired from McDonald's after failing his probationary period.

  • A dumb blond defending a useless man! WTF was she thinking?

  • Don't really matter which version is better, because it is a learning show on how to survive this cruel world.

  • the american version is all about giving them new stuff. i like the british version better, it's more realistic. my favorite is the one with fish and anchor. KAAa...!!! hahaha

  • I like both versions personally. Many people criticize the American version for being too upbeat - I beg to differ: Lela's shut down soon after taping because of huge debts, and Sebatian's closed in January (the owner there was a stickler for his 20-combinations "innovation," thinking that people would fall for it. The British version has had the chance to update us on the fate of the eateries that Gordon visited. Let's see if the improvements made to the American eateries have stuck.

  • Thanks for the updates-I had a feeling they wouldn't survive-the owners just wouldn't/couldn't admit they were wrong in their approach. What a waste of money for pride's sake.

  • Anytime, PatchworkDream! I've heard that there will be a second season, aka helping of Kitchen Nightmares. Stay tuned!

  • The curry house he sorted in Nottingham was massively better than this stinking dump BEFORE he arrived - and therefore infinitely better when he'd done his stuff and gone. So I'll pass on NYC curries and opt for Nottingham. It's a lot closer for one thing.

  • Yeah but who the fuck wants to go to Shottingham?

  • Hmmm. Good point.

  • I definitely agree the Curry Lounge is a lot better than Dillion's before Gordon arrives. Yeah, I'll so go to the Curry Lounge for the naan antler alone.

  • Question folks? why commment world history to a cooking show? it's just plain stupid and random.

  • Sorry America but nobody likes you, Britain had the worlds finest empire. You didnt save us in WW2 lol. Your lucky we like you else you would be finished.

  • *had*

  • If the Americans didn't step in, you would of lost the Pacific, quite possibly France and many other European countries. Also I would been speaking japanese

  • WHAT A F**KING JOKE!!!

  • Purnima sounds too much like Purina, needs a new name.

  • hmm, not liking the melodramatic music at the beginning, typical American trait which makes everything appear fake.

    Also loving that they beeped out Gordon's swearing. Somehow makes it seem like he's being far more rude than just the odd 'fuck'

  • Owch touchy.

    Wasn't meant as a slight just pointing out how its different and can make it unsuitable for audiences outside the USA.

    I'm not going to bother getting into the America vs British debate because I have other things to worry about than an "I'm better than you" attitude

  • they claim to be open minded and intelligent - but seem to think that all americans are hick/idiots, when we kick their ass at everything.

  • Arrogance is an Americans best trait.

  • try the french there, genius

  • You got that all backwards mate...I for one, am NOT arrogant, but constant readings of Brits vs. Yanks in here and in LiveLeak makes me wonder just what the hell all of this hatred comes from. I could buy you a pint at your local pub as well as a draught here in my local bar.

  • DAMN RIGHT!!

  • If you think that Americans are arrogant, try the French and (suffice to say) Canadians. Those guys are so smug that I don't know if I should be proud of being a Canadian myself.

  • Has your fucking country gotten so arrogant as well, i think americas great but come on!

    your kicking our ass? how?

    and your saving our ass?

    no your fucking not, if your talking about ww2 you only came in a year before it ended, you came in and took all the glory, you all fucking sly bastards.

    All i can say to you is VIETNAM!!

    THATS WHY YOU FAIL!

    you not that great if you cant defeat a shitty country like that.

  • dont like america either but the VC was incredibly capable fighter back then it was only second to china (ASIA context) and thats cuz of raw power

  • Love Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. I love how Gordon is so Ruthless in his approach to all these half-arsed Managers and owners who don't give two shits about the job. He tells them how badly they have fucked up and they either get all pissed off about it and leave or they take the critisism and try to make the necessary changes.

    By the way don't you think Martin looks a little bit like Mr Dinkovich in the Spiderman movies?

  • Gordon's passion, dedication and hard work inspire me so much! I feel like I can do anything if I have that sort of courage, and no-bullsh*t attitude. Luv ya Gordon, and thank you :x.

  • Chef Vikas is so handsome.

  • wow. they have subtitles for people speaking english in an indian accent. how degrading. joke.

  • the UK's national language is going to be arabic soon, so i would shut my steak and kidney pie eating mouth, were i you.

  • You dense fuck. If you're going to complain about people thinking you're an idiot then stop fucking being one. I like most Americans just fine but I hate all people, regardless of race or nationality, that act like you.

  • it's such a crappy opening. for someone who's so much about image i really can't believe how he agreed to it

  • The differences between UK version and USA version:

    UK version has better editing. It's less frantic.

    UK version doesn't make you feel stupid, IE we don't use subtitles for people with an accent (lol).

    USA version uses action music like it's some sort of hollywood movie? :D

    UK version seems much less fabricated. USA version just wants to concentrate on Ramseys swearing.

    USA version is censored, lol.

  • that's FOX for ya.

    Our shows use not to be like this till FOX came along, reaching for that huge illiterate, ADD market.

    After that all the other networks struggled to out-FOX them.

  • SO the last 2 bits of bollocks cancel each other out...twit

  • And perhaps "flyershockey17" should go back to school and learn how to spell "Canadian".

    And anyone who thinks Gordon Ramsay has no place to insult the chef's cooking needs to remember that he goes into these restaurants because he is asked to. the chef's food, the service and the decor clearly is shit in these restaurants. So whomever thinks Ramsay is too tough on these people, don't watch the show. "Alfrunk" and "kitsuken", stop being so immature and fighting over the net. U little sooks

  • well said, those chefs could of killed someone with that rotten food!!

  • Nasreen is BEAUTIFUL.

  • I watched this episode last night, the cockroaches grossed me out O.o

  • lol same

  • Although I secretly hate Indians, I found these "people" to be pretty likeable. ALso - NEVER eat indian food - they will try to poison you if they can. Curry has been shown to be as addictive as nicotine. Look it up.

  • How about we stop this fucking USA VS Britain argument and all just move to Canada? :)

    I like the US and the UK version. I must say, I like the rawness of the UK version, but the US version is funnier because it makes everyone but Ramsay look ridiculous.

    We have to realize that they're in a sense completely different shows appealing to a different target audience. In the US version, they're appealing to the people who are used to general reality shows, in the UK, they don't have to

  • quiet you human turd - i'd like to make a comment - that disgusting little tart that tried to defend that absolutely worthless guttersnipe of a manager is a bitch. Doesn't she understand that no one - past, present or future will EVER genuinely care what she thinks about anything - they only like her for her sexy looks. she will die alone, and she deserves to.

  • Why was this a reply to me? I never said anything about that woman...

  • Oh sorry. My bad. I just get so emotional

  • Wow, could you be any more of an asshole?

  • Well, welcome to life - people have different opinions about things - get over it and learn to defend yours.

  • you seem like a nice fellow, the type of fellow i will enjoy to watch burning in hell :-)

  • "you seem like a nice fellow, the type of fellow i will enjoy to watch burning in hell :-)"

    Yeah, I remember that part in the Bible that says - the only unforgivable sin is being "mean" on the internet. You must be a religious scholar!

  • canada fuckin rocks man

    and if u say otherwise get off the internet because it was invented by a canadain

  • Uh I live in Canada and you're... pretty much just wrong. "It" doesn't think that, at all... Most Canadians don't really care what the US does unless it effects us, and Canada is not socialist, we're a mixed economy and the Gov't doesn't do nearly as much as you make it sound. I live in Alberta, we pay 5% tax with no PST, and the territories have no tax. Granted if you live outside of Alberta/the territories you can expect to pay 15% tax. Canada doesn't do that, where are you getting this from?

  • UK version is much better.

  • Well, no one cares what you like- ANYWAY, did you guys masturbate to the waitress or the guy's wife - i did whack it once to the lady who said "this is good for the price" - she must have been jewish, but oh well.

  • God I hate the stupid background music. Why don't the producers see how the UK version was and learn a few things. Wish they leave everything and just show people...no icing on the cake...just people and the food.

  • Which tit cocked up the spelling on the sign?

  • I'm American and I wish I lived somewhere in the UK so I could watch this show properly without all the bells, whistles and ricketa-racketa that is crammed into these shows to dumb them down for dumb Americans. Thank God for BBCAmerica...

  • They dramatize the bollocks off it. Fuckin hell

  • Yeah I really hate that shit, they do it with everything. There's no need.

  • People are really going to hate me but I like all the drama but it's true I don't like the beeps in it.

  • bhujon, bristol, dats da best food, zindabad

  • I hate the way they beep out the swearing on this version. So glad i'm british and can get the full value of Ramsay's wrath!

  • In Canada it's uncensored too.

  • This isn't authentic at all... In Canada, theirs a authentic Indian restaurant chain called "Authentic Indian WITHOUT the Chicken Tikka Masala"

    The point is... it maybe better than the "best Tikka Masala in the UK"...but Tikka Masala ain't Indian.... it was invented in Edinburgh, UK

  • Chicken tikka masala is mostly an adaptation of butter chicken (which originated in India). Besides, the idea of authenticity comes only with the idea of an "Indian" cuisine. After all, there are so many regions within India with their own dishes and versions. So when we decide to homogenize them all and call it "Indian" we might as well be a bit relaxed on the 'authenticity' part of it. (Authenticity in general is a questionable idea, anyway.)

  • I like the British version better... more amateur...but thats what I liked... everything these Americans say seem staged, in the English version, the frustration is real...

    the whole restaurant make-over thing is skipped right through. I know the Canadian Food Channals have a show called "Restaurant Makeover"... that does a much better job showing the WHOLE restaurant, but just bits and pieces like this

  • No kidding. I love restaurant makeover (especially Igor). They have their share of 'drama' too, but it's so mild and the interview scenes are cut to drive humour (not tears). The jazz is just classy.

    Gordon Ramsay is lovable mostly because of the no-nonsense way he deals with things. But this program is full of corny garbage. Quite antithetical his approach -- something that sucks even with those who are "meant" for such nonsense.

    US TV will always be the Brit who never graduated high school.

  • I was totally watching this episode just to see Martin get pissed and walk out and they dont even show it!! Im pissed!!

  • exactly the u.s version is like every u.s reality tv show with the same overdramatic music, and the yank talking over it.and it feels much shorter cause he does the same thing. give them a risotto recipe or a n.y strip steak recipe and refubish their resturant.the same every week but yanks are too thick to realise

  • lol are you some sort of terrorist coming here to incite hatred?

  • lol are you some sort of terrorist coming here to incite hatred?

  • seems like you are the one who started it cunt.....

  • Wtf is up with sub-titles? ... Fuck yanks are insanely dumb.

  • The UK version is better. The US version doesn't speak very much of the food side of things (too much overdoing the over the top drama of people). Still it's always fun seeing Gordon Ramsay's shows! (:

  • i have no idea what the americans are saying, they need subtitles.

  • Americans havent got a clue about south asian food (Bangladeshi/Indian/Pakistani)­. Y'all need to wake up to the world!!!

  • subtitles? his english is fine.. jeez

  • i know!!....thats awful....

  • Well, many reality show viewers are retarded, however, I agree, Gordon speaks the mother tongue beautifully

  • Yeah he does speak perfect English, but I think he sometimes speaks quite softly. Like, the first time he said something I could understand it but i sort of had to strain my ears 'cuz he talks pretty quietly.

  • Ya it is pretty fucking stupid with the subtitles....fucking producers...

  • Aside from all the bloody arguing, the UK version is waaaaay better than the US version and even Yanks will admit to that. I'm from London and in no way i'm talkin rubbish about Americans, I'm talking about every UK TV program brought to the US and becoming dire shit. Except the office. Ramsay's, Coupling, Hell's Kitchen, everything is rubbish.

  • Yes, some of the reality shows leave a bit to be desired.

    ::

    I like the talent shows. They work out well and most of us "YANKS" really enjoy them.

    ::

    Dillons imporved greatly. The food is great.

  • the american one is typical, very contrived, and fake, entertainment the american way.

  • QFT, What's with the overdramatic music and introduction?

    "His biggest challenge yet..."

    They say that every other week.

  • I think this is the first episode I saw

  • mmmmmm i gotta goto a real indian restaraunt!

  • Why Dillon's went Indian in the first place is beyond me. I am so glad they got rid of that sign (they were trying to make it a theater in the back). Now they're knocking the building down anyway. Iguana club across the street is better and more fun.

  • it went indian because there was an indian owner..

    Indians can only do indian.. they alwasy do.

  • They've had Indian food there for a good while. But I think their American cuisine choices aren't as bountiful.

    ::

    The sign was scary.  It looked too heavy. But as a performer, I looked forward to seeing my name up there in lights.

  • How on earth can we get all the US episodes back?? I am pissed off!!!!! Those FOX are so possesive.

  • Why is it that all U.S shows always have rubbish background music all the way through them?

  • I completely agree, like I said earlier it annoys the shit out of me....

  • Have you all noticed that YOUTUBE took off allll us kitchen nightmares and hell's kitchen episodes?????

  • yeh, I cant find them either.. typical americans.. too good for this ha ha .

  • I say that we need to make a riot!! They simply deleted them!! They left no traces!

  • Americans are not too good for it you dumbass. All of Ramsey's shows are hits here. It's copyright infringement and they were forced to pull them.

  • lol the fat white waitress didnt need to defend the gm. she must be fucking him. he was a bad manager.

  • i love indian food. my co workers always let me sample their curries and tortillas its sooooooo good.

  • God bless America?? Are you serious?...WOW.

    God blesses those who are humble and honest...America..humble and honest..HA

  • did they fire the gm/??????????

  • Yse, he was fired.

  • they didnt show it. i would of loved to see the reaction. he deserved it;.

  • I saw a modified version of this episode (modified for language) earlier last year. The guy was pretty much an a-hole for being let go.

  • they need to remove the fucking censors and bring back gordon's narrating.... seriously... its just not the same with that "reality tv" narrating crap

  • I like that he had the humility to bring in a specialist in Indian cuisine. Man he takes the piss out of them and i love it man.

    Martin is a typical bastard.

    I would eat there now after what he's done with the place.

  • Love Chef Ramsay! Love the British. Great show and I have learned lots about cooking techniques. Cheers to our Friends in Cambridge. Missouri (Midwest) Girl

  • I don't know why people are talking about British vs Americans and all this war shit...who cares!!

    This is the restaurant business..you have to be able to take shit or else you'll never survive

  • get a real king why don't you

  • Also he could not invade us as our royal air force had left his luftwaffe to bombing citys at night as they were too afraid to fight our airmen. I get my history from the acts not hollywood. Also when ranting spelling mistakes are common unless your a trained typest.

  • are you claiming to be trained? "Also when ranting spelling mistakes are common unless YOUR a trained typest." obviously you are not, and if you are i'm sure you use spell check quite often. it would be you're, conjunction of you are. just an observation from somebody with no training in typing and has no higher education.

  • If it was not Britain fighting hitler alone for 4 years while you were hiding under your beds, he would have used his whole army against the Russians instead of half[ half defending against the british] and won there then taken over the world. If it was not for britain you yankee would be speaking german.

  • churchill was begging FDR to get involved in the war and he wanted to get the US into the war, but you know how politicians are, they will not go against the majority of the people, and you know why (voters). you could make the defense that if it were not for the united states entering the war the whole world would be speaking german, also we fought on 2 fronts and didn't fail, if the reich was so powerful they too should have been able to fight on two fronts and been successful.

  • Critique (which is said) is a transitive verb that means a discussion or engagement of ideas. notice that it doesnt mean strictly negative demeanor, it can be positive as well. So my comment that you're quick to critique and judge simply means that you're on your own pedestal and speaking down, or "criticizing" American television.. Lesson completed. it was nice exchanging ideas with you. have fun on here. later tosser
