The character that Gordon Ramsey puts on for Americans is so wild. Certainly he's to the point and frank whenever he appears on British TV, but he's far from this raging aggressive personality he has on American TV.

That right there tells you how to appeal to Americans: Loud, Derogatory, Belittling Insults from an Authority Figure.

American Dream right there, being an unimaginably brash asshole to subservient employees, and that makes you famous.

In his (our?) defense, isn't he usually fairly kind (if still foul-mouthed) to the staff, and relentlessly harsh only on the owners?

For Kitchen Nightmares that's true, but Hell's Kitchen is another story altogether for his persona.

Well, in Hell's Kitchen they're contestants. That's just our inherent schadenfreude towards people who volunteer for anything.

Kitchen Nightmares was fairly educational. The format was:

GR: expert advice, pragmatic offer of recommendations, expectations of compliance

Owners/Chef: "No."

Hijinks ensue
