I’ve always believed that Kitchen Nightmares shows the true Gordon Ramsay – someone who loves food and loves to help other people who share his passion. Although the US version of the show is very contrived and the editing apalling (ok, I’ll stop now) it is my favourite Gordon Ramsay Television show (the UK version anyway!)

The new series of Kitchen Nightmares USA is currently being filmed in New York and as part of the now familiar relaunch, Gordon Ramsay appeared on a local New York television station to promote the relaunch, publicise the restaurant which he loves and promote the two owners who joined him on the show! While they did mention the upcoming Hell’s Kitchen Finale, Gordon did spend most of the time talking up the restaurant and its owners.

The interviewer also had a great approach to Gordon, although he had a stream of one liners for her and her staff to put them in their place – in the nicest possible way!

Enjoy this five minute clip, because best of all – the video is viewable anywhere in the world!

A few more Gordon Ramsay interviews from his junket promting Gordon Ramsay’s Healthy Appetite. Gordon Ramsay must have been really impressed with the restaurant in Whistler and how they sourced eveything locally – I think he has mentioned it on every interview!

As Part of Gordon Ramsay’s Canadian Tour, promoting his ??latest?? book Gordon Ramsay’s Healthy Appetite he performed numerous radio and television interviews – here are video and audio links to all the ones that I could source on the web.

Gordon Ramsay on CBC Radio Q – http://www.cbc.ca/q/pastepisodes.html. The Podcast is directly available at http://podcast.cbc.ca/mp3/qpodcast_20090211_11936.mp3 - with Gordon Ramsay’s interview starting 17mins 50 secs in until about 43 minutes. Very insightful interview – into Gordon Ramsay’s inspiration for the Heathy Appetite book and a few other interesting questions a little out of the ordinary, especially where Gordon says that he hasn’t peaked yet – great job!

I love it when TV channels put their stuff on the web for free – especially when it is unrestricted so that fans accross the wordl can enjoy them. While Channel 4 in the UK does a little of this, it is great to see that CBC in Canada has their won youtube channel (you can also view stuff on their official site – http://www.cbc.ca/thehour/index.html.

Here are the video clips from Gordon Ramsay’s Appearance on the Hour from 2008
