In the US version of Hell's Kitchen, Ramsay is just playing a caricature of himself from about 10 years ago.
If anyone has seen the ITV doc series called Boiling Point you can see him working in his kitchen back in 1998 or 99. He has all the tough language and gives a right bullocking to all his staff but he is nowhere near as mean and corse as he is on Hell's Kitchen.
It's almost a parody of himself, he's that over the top. But it makes for great TV.
I'd say that F Word and Kitchen Nightmares (at least the UK version) is much closer to what he's like.
Did anyone in the UK catch his cook a long? He did a one night only, live cooking show back in February as part of the Big Food Fight, a stunt programmed on Channel 4. Apparently there was a run on scallops across Britian (one of the recipes he made on the show).
