Gordon quotes from Hell's Kitchen

Van may have been a poissonier, but his performance on fish was anything but Vantastic.

Suzanne had a red jacket, she had a blue jacket, she had a black jacket. Now she has no jacket.

It's a good thing Stacey's a private chef. Her food wasn't good enough for the public.

Mikey was all about appearances. Unfortunately for him, it didn't appear he could cook.

[tonight is family night] Now, there's going to be a lot of children. Don't make me fucking swear tonight!

If Scott could cook as well as he talks, he'd be the winner of Hell's Kitchen. Unfortunately for him, he can't.

When it's brown, it's cooked; when it's black, it's fucked!

Tonight was the best service we've had in Hell's Kitchen, and that's why I rewarded the final six. Now, only the best chefs remain. Nilka was clearly out of her depth.

Men, you lost. Vinny decided that it was a bright idea to tell the customers, "Don't order sides, because the kitchen can't deliver." How dare you? That's my decision, and not yours. None of you are here to kiss my ass, but I expect some FUCKING RESPECT!

When the going gets tough in the kitchen, a chef puts his head down and cooks. All Raj wanted to do was put his head in the freezer and that's why his stay in Hell's Kitchen was a short one.

Rob, give me your jacket, big boy... (Rob takes off his jacket) ...because it's filthy and dirty. This is a clean one, get it on and get back in line!

Sabrina was quite dramatic in her final plea, but I'm not looking for a drama queen. I'm looking for a head chef.

This is like a joke. It's like you've been Punk'd, like you've been set up to look stupid.

I realized early on that Steven has as much chance of being the head chef at BLT Steak as I do of winning a gold medal in figure skating.

The only thing bigger than Brendan's ego are the lies that he tells and I can't have that in Hell's Kitchen.
