Most arrogant chef

I was just watching Kitchen Nightmares and saw Trobianos.

In your opinion which chef(s) throughout the series do you think were the most arrogant?

My vote is Anthony from Trobianos. Mid 20s convinced his future in-laws to bank roll him a restaurant without any kind of training because he is “that good” doesn’t even think he needs to taste his food because he’s “that good”. Doesn’t clean because he has staff and it’s below him.

Who do you choose?

Although also the owner, Sebastian thinking he can reinvent how restaurants and ordering food works was pretty arrogant

Are you sure? Sebastian said his inability is endless! Put it in front of him and he will make the dish! 😂😂

Who the fuck puts a shrimp inside a chicken breast?! Most arrogant would be Joe Nagy with his goat lover.

"Diamonds on my fish" Ricky from Lela's. Dude was so full of himself but couldn't tell the difference between chicken and beef in a taste test

Then again, he thought mixing mint with Hershey’s chocolate syrup to go on top of lamb was brilliant.

People like it! People come in and order it all the time

I wonder how many of those were new customers and thought it sounded interesting. Like savoury and sweet. If I'm at mcdonalds I dunk my chips in my McFlurry. It's weirdly nice.

It’s the same in America; people love buying Frosty’s so they can dip fries into it.

I love lamb, but I don't think its as popular in the States, at least where I'm from. Most lamb dishes, that I'm aware of, include many, so I can see how adding chocolate might seem interesting. In reality if done right lamb with mint chocolate might be delicious, but Ricky didn't know what he was doing. He was chocolate syrup

For me it's a tie between chef Erick, Casa Roma, who made Gordon Ramsey wait an hour for his food, and even took a smoke break during that time, didn't care about quality was totally taking advantage of two inexperienced owners, and who had an excuse for everything, and Joe Nagy, Mill Street Bistro, who thought he was the world's greatest fine dining chef and banned his kitchen crew from talking when cooking.

Would say Joe Nagy but he’s not a chef, he’s a dead man walking

Lmao that's one of my favourite Ramsay quotes

"Gordon, I gotta cook..."

"Yeah, I wish you WOULD!"

Sebastian

Menu concept was 🤮 and he really thought it was something “revolutionary”

"ChinStrap" from Finn McCool's. Even his own father wanted to shitcan him because he was such a jerk.

Joe Nagy obviously but also that one "Homarus americanus" guy from the Black Pearl who walked in like he was starring in a budget remake of the Godfather.
