Watching all of the shows he creates, has made me come to realize just how amazing of a person he really is. Beyond that hard exterior he exudes, he is probably the most caring and giving individual, on television, today.
Yesterday, I started watching a show he stars in that is almost identical to Kitchen Nightmares. In Hotel Hell, he critiques and helps hotel owners, who are battling with debt, terrible food and bad hotel management, and works with them to create a better atmosphere and way of running things, that will ultimately save the owners from losing it all.
About 10 minutes ago, I watched the third episode depicting the state of the Cambridge Hotel, in Cambridge NY, and was brought to tears by the ending. My three year old son was saying, "why are you crying?" in his jumbled 3-year old way of speaking. So cute... but in the end of that episode, Gordon Ramsay transforms not only the owner into being able to trust his staff and lose the military-mind set he has thrived from his entire life, but also changed the hotel's entire decor into a more accepting and hospitable place.
Along with providing the hotel with over $75,000 worth of better linen within the rooms, he approached the kitchen where a main chef and student chef worked and so humbly offered the student chef his email. Scooter, a 19-year old who has battled two heart and back surgeries, explains to Ramsay that he was inspired to cook because he could not do such things like sports, because of his disabilities. With this knowledge, Ramsay, the hospitable man he is, offers to pay Scooter's entire tuition costs, in hope that he can further fulfill his dreams of owning his own bakery. Watching this, made me automatically tear up. Just note, that I am not usually one to cry, but I am a sucker for such amazing moments like those. The moments you see on television that are so truly life-changing to someone, and you as the audience, are able to witness the emotion in their eyes. See how truly happy and thankful they are. Watching Scooter hold back his tears in absolute disbelief and extreme happiness, is one of those moments that I live to see.
Gordon Ramsay is my inspiration. His hospitable character and the confident, strong way he carries himself, guides me and pushes me to strive for those things in life that I crave so desperately to achieve.
