The Nightmare Method

Is this the Gordon of our dreams? After a year or two of doom and gloom about contemporary Gordon, please join us for the palate-cleansing adventure: we go back to the first season of the whole TKN project and realise that Young Gordon is amazing and - ironically - seems the least likely person to ever sell out. Plus: there's a Michelin star in the mix *and* we get to witness Gordon giving a n...

What's up, Nightmare Meth-heads!?! An episode with perhaps the nicest case members we have ever met this month - it's the heartbreaking tale of Colleen and Naomi who were (surely?) tricked into buying an overpriced restaurant from their (awful?) former boss. Please join us as two Australian hosts try to understand: the difference between Long Island and Staten Island, why Gordon is obsesse...

OK! We finally meet Rick, our villain who is as pathetic and small-minded as he is sleep-deprived. And we get a Gordon stunt to trump all Gordon stunts as he plays a priest and takes confession in a Catholic church (?) Luckily, though, all the things that go wrong are 100% John's fault... ___ Please follow The Nightmare Method on Instagram and join the Feel Bad Club Server on Discord!

How is Kitchen Nightmares like the Simpsons? Is Cece actually the misunderstood hero of this episode? Is Michael the most disappointing spouse we have seen since Sebastian? Can Peach and Shag recover from not recording the first 30 minutes of the episode? (YES!) ___ Please follow The Nightmare Method on Instagram and join the Feel Bad Club Server on Discord!

Some new Gordon content! It's the new Netflix series 'Being Gordon Ramsay'. The Gordon business Leviathan turns its eye towards 22 Bishopsgate - a soon to be iconic London location with a few Gordon Ramsay branded restaurants chucked on top. Gordon urges us to believe he is laying it all on the line for this one. But, of course, there are no stakes at all - only opportunities to wonder...

How the *Spuddy Hell* are ya? This month, Peach and Shag negotiate their way around Philadelphia accents, once and for all draw a line between the UK and USA episodes, and reflect on the most bizarre Gordon Final Line ever. So please come and have a listen to the Podcast of Brotherly Love! ___ Please follow The Nightmare Method on Instagram and join the Feel Bad Club Server on Discord!

It's a solo Peach episode! (But it's not Shag's fault! Peach is overseas and recorded this one before his departure.) This episode we go back to the very start - Gordon's first starring role in a reality TV series. It's a chance to reflect on how far (or how not far?) our host has come in his approach to (i) people of marginalised genders, (ii) fat-shaming, (iii) racism against...

This one was so not a Peach's Pick, but Shag's insights revealed its majesty as we worked through it. One of the drearier American episodes is saved by Gordon's incredible confrontations with Gordon. Gordon is all hostility. Nino is all non sequitur. And we love it. (And spoiler: Michael was the bad guy all along.) Now say it with us: "IIIIIIIII'm NINO!" ___ Please follow...

And so we return for the second have of another of Peach's Picks! We return to Hampshire, a county filled with swimming pools and (as we come to learn thrillingly!) Fat Idiots. This episode is so dense it required a two parter, and we are so proud to share this conclusion with you. ___ Please follow The Nightmare Method on Instagram and join the Feel Bad Club Server on Discord! 

And so we return to England and return to another one of Peach's Picks! We enter the world of Hampshire, a county so rich that (as Gordon observes) they are awash with swimming pools, to visit The Granary. This episode is so dense it required a two parter, and it contains two of Peach and Shag's Gordon insults. Just don't forget to invite Gordon to the launch of your next dining club,...

The second part of a two parter on 'Kitchen Nightmares' final boss: Amy's Baking Company. It's an iconic episode of the TV show. It's the episode that Shag shows anyone who's never seen the show before. It's the episode with Peach's favourite Gordon performance. It's the episode so nice Peach and Shag had to cover it twice! So let's get into it... ___ Please...

The first part of a two parter on 'Kitchen Nightmares' final boss: Amy's Baking Company. It's an iconic episode of the TV show. Indeed, it's one of the most iconic episodes of reality TV of any kind, ever. This week Peach and Shag take the slow boil approach, spending over an hour working through just the first 20 minutes of the episode. As we learn: there's a lot going on!...

We think we might hate Gordon? Aaaand we are pretty certain we hate Manny? It's the month TNM's evolution into a Gordon Ramsay disillusionment podcast gathered a little more momentum, as Shag and Peach (for reasons best known to Peach!) explored what is broadly thought of as one of the worst episodes of the show's history. Can Gordon save the marriage? Do people buy restaurants while g...

Maybe Gordon is really not a good guy? As Peach's (and maybe Shag's?) disillusionment with Gordon becomes one of the undercurrents of 'The Nightmare Method' we thought we would have a quick check in with Sofia Vergara's interview on Jay Leno's show on 2010. Gordon is a fellow guest, and Ms Vegara is visibly and audibly uncomfortable in Gordon's presence. Gordon is undeniably gross. His conduct is...

First broadcast a week after Gordon's stellar performance at Sebastian's, we have a definitively mid Gordon visiting Hamptons restaurant, Finn McCool's Gordon goes to war with a Leprechaun looking chef, a cop (who is, in all likelihood according to Peach's expert analysis, corrupt), and our attention spans. There's very little Guinness, but there's great craic! Please join...

So, Gawdon, where the fuck are ya? This week we have a toxic masculinity tussle, and arguably the defining episode of the whole show. When we imagine Gordon in our minds it is the 2007-era Gordon of Sebastian's that we see. There's a degree of delusion in this episode, as Sebastian strains to imagine himself inside an 'Entourage' episode kicking off an international franchise. (And...

So *did* Gordon really bring a dead rat with him to a restaurant? This month Peach and Shag chat with Good Food Guide editor and all 'round legend Callan Boys to pick apart one of the episodes that really allows us to wonder why we love this show so much? If you love surrealism, great desserts, and the tense atmosphere of a rich white guy yelling at a bunch of underpaid people of colour, this...

Is this episode *really* Peach's favourite? This week Peach and Shag travel to Inverness to see Luig and Barry's restaurant La Riviera, and we query whether you can buy a Michelin star. It's a great exploration of Gordon's method, his frustration with his surprising inability to have an impact, some EXTREMELY troubling sexual innuendo, and the Scottish real estate market. Please jo...

The episode that aired a week after the Fenwick Arms was saved by the power of gravy! This week we visit the episode that Peach promises is *really* his favourite, and we get perhaps the horniest Gordon ever? We're having such fun producing this podcast. Thanks for being a part of it! Please join us on our Discord Server called 'Feel Bad Club'. See you there! Here's a link... https://discord.gg/hE...

So does 'Inside Baseball' even exist and how does it relate to a Gordon Ramsay recap podcast? This week Peach and Shag have a look at an episode that was the most recently made before Gordon took a 9 year sabbatical. And so what can we learn from using our Sopranos-style accents *over here*...? Our hosts Peach and Shag spend this week discussing how the first 20 minutes of this Kitchen Nightmares...

So what *is* a classic English pub? This week we have a look at an episode that Peach thought might have been his favourite, until he had the chance to discuss it with Shag for this episode... Our hosts Peach and Shag spend this week comparing Gordon to his contemporaries Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Rick Stein, considering what the most appropriate way is to help a person engaging in hoarding...

This week we have not an episode reviewing 'Kitchen Nightmares' or 'Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares' but (because it is just a Peach solo joint) we have an *Amuse Bouche*! This amuse bouche is Peach's review of Gordon Ramsay's first iconic appearance on Hot Ones, Sean Evan's interview show and YouTube phenomenon, in early 2019. Peach dives DEEP this week and does his best to get into what makes up The...

Welcome to The Nightmare Method! This episode starts with an interview with "Jamie" - a staff member at the Burger Kitchen! Following that, please join us for a discussion of Burger Kitchen, Part Two, the restaurant at the centre of Episode 5 of Season 7 of 'Kitchen Nightmares', the American based incarnation of the show. We have left behind low intensity Gordon and chef David Bl...

Welcome to The Nightmare Method! Please join us for Part Two of our discussion Burger Kitchen, Part One, the restaurant at the centre of Episode 6 of Season 5 of 'Kitchen Nightmares', the American based incarnation of the show. We're still dealing with a surprisingly low intensity Gordon, Peach's desire to share every titbit he can remember from Gordon's biography 'Humble P...

Welcome to The Nightmare Method! Please join us for Part One of our discussion Burger Kitchen, Part One, the restaurant at the centre of Episode 6 of Season 5 of 'Kitchen Nightmares', the American based incarnation of the show. We're off to have some arguments about adding salt to mushrooms, egregious breaches of a trustee's fiduciary duties, and some bizarre views about frozen mea...
