Uh, he DID blow up numerous times on that show...I remember him blasting a guy for accepting mouldy tomatoes/strawberries from a supplier, and the guy was working as a head chef...that's a big issue, and the dude had it coming...but then again, so did the brainless owners, completely innept in every way as I recall, at least in the particular episode I am referring to.
Tv chefs, there's a few different classes when you look at them...there's the ones that are a little more sensationalist or hyped, and tend to take the "tv spotlight" (oliver, ramsey, ainsley), then there's those that have the shows that more or less work as cooking lessons (eg - rick stein, neil perry, nigella lawson).
I personally prefer the latter, they seem more into cooking, and less into "tv"...although I appreciate them all for shifting attention back towards a largely lost art.
