    Puts on a show for the American audiences. Otherwise seems okay.

      This is it. His shows are overproduced for Americans, using cheap effects and dramatization for terrible reality TV. So I never watch him.

      I think it’d be a lot different if I saw a version that was just what happened. Like kitchen nightmares but without all of the dramatics. That I would watch all the time. So of course they don’t make it.

        He did some sort of traveling-around-the-world-and-cooking-local-dishes documentary. Watch it for yourself, I personally didn’t like his personality and his picky character. And he tanks almost every local dish (hilarious reaction by the lao monks…they did not like what he had prepared for them).

        In the U.K. he’s way less hard on folks then in the states. Of course, it could also be they’re way less combative. No Amy’s Baking Companies in the U.K. I don’t think.

      Spot on. Him on TV playing into his character seems like a POS. But from some of his other stuff he seems like a decent dude who acknowledges he doesn’t know everything.
