Nah, but bad language doesn't really offend me. If he were making kitten and baby caserole, I would probably be a bit offended.

Sorry but I live for Hell's Kitchen. It's part of the show, everyone knows that what he does, and expects it. Does it make it right?...not in real life. But shows are know for their outlandish things for ratings.

Chefs are typically very hot headed, but Gordon Ramsey just plays up the stereotype. My father is a Chef, and he does not behave like that at all. So, Gordon and his really bad attitude is offensive, in my opinion, because he could get the job done without being so nasty about it.

no... I swear like a sailor in the kitchen... oh yeah, I was a sailor....

Not that you mentioned any names, but Gordon Romsey's Hell's Kitchen is one of my favorite shows!! Would bet Corey to win this year. I also always wonder if he is swearing that much, or do they just beep a lot of non-swears just to make it appear as he does.

Do you mean vulgar, obscene or do you mean incorrect as in grammar? I find the former very offensive and the latter not.

F*** up, keep choppin those onions while I grate a soupcon of truffle on top of this pear salad.

No, it just shows that chef is human, or maybe they just want ratings. Either way I don't see much point in getting mad over simple words.

I think it's in poor (taste) LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! PUN intended!!!!!!:):):)

bad language adds flavor to the show. as long as the chef doesnt add body fluids to the food, i dont care what he says. there must be a hundred different television channels. If you find it offensive switch channels. jee whiz.

Not particularly.

Call me old fashioned but I do take offense when I hear people swearing on TV.

Bah. Cuss words are just words. I've worked in restaurants. Let's put it this way: you'd cuss too.

No...I find it realistic, that is what it is like in some kitchens, people use bad language. Sometimes, it is pretty amusing.

No, but I wish he didn't do it. He sounds so rude to people. I'd hate to work for him!

Not really,if the show was meant to be a place for swearing like 'hell's kitchen' its pretty amusing to watch them work n fight at the same time.

It takes more than bad words to offend me.

Only if it was not needed, like in the F word, that's just got silly with all the 'effing and blinding. But I would totally understand if it was because they had just set themselves on fire or cut their fingers off.

I'm not sure if you mean poor grammar or swear words/vulgar language. If it's poor grammar, it doesn't bother me at all. If its swear words or vulgar language, it doesn't bother me at all. BUT that's why they have extra "takes" and editing. Chefs don't usually use "bad language". Usually it's the cooks and other staff who work in that kitchen under that Chef. By the way, if either offends you, PLEASE DON'T work in A REAL commercial kitchen. You'll probably be exposed to language you never heard before AND that kind of language will be spoken on a VERY frequent basis! Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it!

I find bad language offensive in any setting that someone's life is not at stake.

No. Not at all. What some folks deem as offensive is normal for the intensity of some restaurant kitchens. If you mean Gordon Ramsey, he's obnoxious; he doesn't need to paint every other word blue. I think he uses that kind of language as his personal trademerk. I see it as his inability to use the right words. Maybe his vocabulary needs help.

NO! gordon ramsey is my hero

Yes, I find it offensive. True professionalism finds correct, widely acceptable language.

Yea, how can they put love in the food when they're being so negative?

Yes, bad language don't season well with good foods.

1) If I find it offensive, I find it offensive... (If not, not) I am not watching many cooking shows, but generally speaking, I think it has all to do with how it is integrated in the whole. I am going to watch a particular show for a while a get an impression about it. If I like the show, I will probably like their kind of humor, the kind of jokes they are doing. Sometimes it makes the show just feel natural, gives it a particular touch. At other times, I would not appreciate them and just stop watching the show. 2) "The degree to which a profanity is offensive relies upon how the use of the word affects an individual. Some will consider the original meaning of a word (for example, the sexual act) to be offensive or a subject not fit for polite conversation while others will have no objection to these subject matters. Some will feel that certain words, having an established social taboo are simply offensive, regardless of any context; others will find profanities offensive mainly when used in a way deliberately intended to offend. Furthermore, some may be in the habit of using profanity in order to seem cool. Thus, insults can even be used as terms of endearment ("I love you, you dumb fuck.") Other situations in which profanity is celebrated include poetic slanging matches, or flytings, in which skill in the employment of vituperative attack becomes a virtue and considerable linguistic license is given to the combatants. A 2007 peer reviewed study by the University of East Anglia found that banning profanity in the workplace and reprimanding staff for using it could have a negative effect on morale and motivation. According to the study, while swearing in front of senior staff or customers should be seriously discouraged or banned, in other circumstances it helped foster solidarity among employees and relieved frustration, stress or other feelings."
