The place where it all started for Gordon Ramsay.Filmed in mid-late 1998 and aired at the start of 1999, Ramsay's Boiling Point was a five-part TV series depicting Gordon Ramsay setting up his first restaurant — called "Gordon Ramsay" — in London after walking out on his previous employers. Many Cluster F-Bombs and quite a few sackings take place as Gordon attempts to establish himself as a restaurateur, has a friendly rivalry with former mentor Marco Pierre White, and attempts to earn a coveted third Michelin Star.A follow-up series, Beyond Boiling Point aired in 2000, depicting Gordon's continued attempts to get a third Michelin star, along with coping with a lawsuit (and assisting Marco Pierre White with his own legal troubles), cooking for Tony Blair and Vladimir Putin, sparking a war of words with just about every food journalist in Australia, and ensuring that both "Gordon Ramsay" and his new restaurant "Petrus" continue to operate well. | |

| Ramsay's Boiling Point / int_1dfbbf31 | comment |
Heterosexual Life-Partners: Ramsay is depicted as being this with Marco Pierre White and Marcus Wareing. Unfortunately, by about 2007 none of the three were on speaking terms with each other. | |

Arch-Enemy | |
| Ramsay's Boiling Point / int_32da548d | comment |
Arch-Enemy: A.A. Gill, the then food critic for the Daily Mail, sees himself as this to Ramsay, as does Australian critic Cherry Ripe. Ramsay himself only vaguely acknowledges his rivalry with the former, and doesn't care at all about the latter once he leaves Australia. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Ramsay's Boiling Point / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Averted, for the most part. Ramsay is a touch more vitriolic in Boiling Point than usual, but the series still provides just about everything you'd expect. The only big difference between the 1998—2000 Ramsay and the modern-day one is that he doesn't own quite as many restaurants. | |

Reassigned to Antarctica | |
| Ramsay's Boiling Point / int_5798bfbf | comment |
Reassigned to Antarctica: Ramsay's original maître d' in Boiling Point has been moved to Marcus Wareing's restaurant by the time of Beyond Boiling Point. Considering how often he's the target of Ramsay's ire in the first series, it's not too hard to imagine why. | |

| Ramsay's Boiling Point / int_7204fa60 | comment |
George Jetson Job Security: Not quite the extent that you might expect, mind. One of Ramsay's waiters gets himself fired during the restaurant's first service for drinking straight from a bottle in front of customers. Another one gets fired later in the series for serving two tables the wrong appetizers, but otherwise most firings are only inferred to have taken place between episodes. | |

Angry Chef | |
| Ramsay's Boiling Point / int_7ac848c2 | comment |
Angry Chef: Gordon Ramsay shows himself at perhaps his angriest in this series, throwing insults, menacing to sack and going on long angry tirades whenever someone screws up. Somewhat justified in that he's poured tens of thousands of pounds on his new restaurant and his livelihood is on the line. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
| Ramsay's Boiling Point / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Given out pretty frequently in Boiling Point. By the time of Beyond Boiling Point Gordon mostly restrains himself to just calling people idiots whenever they make mistakes. | |

Money, Dear Boy | |
| Ramsay's Boiling Point / int_98a19d7f | comment |
Money, Dear Boy: The reason why Ramsay agrees to endorse Bramley Apples despite personally preferring the Granny Smith variety. He goes on to discreetly substitute Granny Smiths for Bramleys in a recipe at a press event for the latter apple, and not-so-discreetly makes insulting remarks about the brand's spokesman, both of which end in a pretty massive case of Insult Backfire.invoked | |

Caustic Critic | |
| Ramsay's Boiling Point / int_ae4b1ce1 | comment |
Caustic Critic: A.A. Gill is one, panning Ramsay's cooking and after Ramsay throws him out of his restaurant, stoops down to personal attacks in his reviews. He notably mentions Ramsay's failed football career and calls him a bully, while the shows prove that while Ramsay is extremely angry, he's also fair and they mostly support him. | |

The Perfectionist: Ramsay is gunning for a three stars rating in the Michelin guide, causing him to get angry at everything that doesn't live up to this standard, from a sous-chef who forgets to bring in enough salad, to a waiter who makes one ordering mistake. | |

Jerkass | |
| Ramsay's Boiling Point / int_eb8e4fa8 | comment |
Jerkass: It might come as a shock to find that Ramsay somehow manages to turn his Jerkassery up to eleven in Boiling Point. Rather than just yelling at the chefs and staff members at his restaurant he goes on lengthy tirades against them, using just about every insult imaginable. By Beyond Boiling Point he had toned his act down just a little. | |
