Well, when I first saw that Kitchen Nightmares was available on Netflix, all I knew about it was that Gordon was the chef and he had a reputation for being, well...not so nice.
But, after watching a few episodes, I declare him my hero. Not even joking.
I like to cook, but that isn't why he is my new hero.
He is my hero because he is so full of passion. You can see it, when he is around food or talking about it, how much passion he has for it; for cooking it and for selling it. And he wants others to in the same industry to be passionate and work hard.
It makes sense, though! If food isn't prepared properly, people can get seriously hurt. There are mistakes in cooking, that when made can be lethal. So, if people don't take it seriously or are so stubborn that they stick their head in the sand and ignore the problems it can cause horrible results.
And it isn't just about the risks, taking care of a restaurant takes so much time and energy, if it isn't something that a person is passionate about they shouldn't be doing it anyway.
I admire him. I envy him. Both result from his passion and his determination. If I had half of either, I would be a straight A student. I would have finished a novel. I would be planning world domination. (Not really.)
I do wish I had as much, or even half as much, passion for something as he has for cooking. I used to have passion for writing. But, it wasn't the same, and it has faded over the years as my family has continuously told me not to bother trying.
What do you think of Gordon Ramsay?
What is your passion? How passionate are you about it, on a scale of sloth to Ramsay?
