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, and please join us again for another episode of The Nightmare Method.___Please follow The Nightmare Method on Instagram and join the Feel Bad Club Server on Discord!
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 follow The Nightmare Method on Instagram and join the Feel Bad Club Server on Discord!
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! So let's get into it...___Please follow The Nightmare Method on Instagram and join the Feel Bad Club Server on Discord!
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 getting their hair cut? Is a "flushing" Queens joke evidence of a rotten brain?Let's find out...Please join Peach and Shag again for the Nightmare Method.___Please follow The Nightmare Method on Instagram and join the Feel Bad Club Server on Discord!
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 truly dehumanising.Here Peach and Shag give this event a quick TNM review (after Peach eventually sends Shag the correct link!) to make sure this is an event we can acknowledge here on TNM.
First broadcast a week after Gordon's stellar performance at Sebastian's, we have a definitively mid Gordon visiting Hamptons restaurant, Finn McCool'sGordon 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 Peach and Shag again for the Nightmare Method.___Please follow The Nightmare Method on Instagram and join the Feel Bad Club Server on Discord!
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 if you can remember all of the Sebastian's flavour combinations you win a prize!)___Please follow The Nightmare Method on Instagram and join the Feel Bad Club on Discord!
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 Gordon episode is for you.___Please follow The Nightmare Method on Instagram and join the Feel Bad Club on Discord!
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.

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!

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 episode is the 'clown show', and how weird it is that Gordon hosts an offsite meeting of the Bella Luna's owners and staff in a Court House. Please join us on our Discord Server called 'Feel Bad Club'. See you there!
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 behaviour, and asking the most difficult of questions: "do we even like Gordon...?" Please join us!
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 Nightmare Method, whether Gordon is a coward, and Gordon's absolutely terrible burger recipe, even though he's flying solo. (Peach also quickly reaches the conclusion that Gordon has no idea what Hot Ones is, which adds to our glee!) Hope you enjoy this one and promise we'll be getting back to Kitchen Nightmares next month!
