So I do wonder, in Kitchen Nightmares, he mostly yells at the restaurant owners for bad management. Do they just remove the footage of him yelling at the employees for the final cut to make him look like less of an asshole?
There’s been accounts of him being shitty to his own kitchen staff for a while.
However I will echo what you said, in KN the focus of his ire always seemed to be on shitty owners, often he advocates for the staff and calls out shit like tip docking as unethical BS. I think maybe over time he kinda got into his own schtick too much and just became a massive asshole all around.
Point of view is important too. When it's his own employees he is probably able to justify abusing them as being part of his job as the boss, but when he sees it from the outside his empathy kicks in without that self-justification blocking it and ends up advocating for them.
