History Characters / KitchenNightmares

* NeverASelfMadeWoman: Completely averted, she didn't have a mother growing up and even despite the failing restaurant draining both her reputation and financials she is rather accomplished as an individual person and even a mention of a husband isn't made.

The owner of the restaurant, which he opened in 1981 with help of his father.

!!Grace

* NotHelpingYourCase: When Tony explains to Gordon about how her temper turns off customers, her response is to immediately start screaming at him.

!!Vic

!!Yolanda

!!Patti

The owner and manager of The Old Neighborhood.

'''Gordon:''' ''(quietly)'' You use... that shit? ''(Randy's face quickly assumes the OhCrap expression as Gordon orders to shut down the kitchen.)''

The Old Neighborhood's co-owner and executive chef.

Paul's sous chef.

[[folder:Blackberrys]]

Owner of the restaurant.

* DissonantLaughter: Had a very bad habit of this, showing virtually no concern for the very legitimate observations Gordon and her staff bring forward in the kitchen.
* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Was a highly successful caterer before founding Blackberry's.

Shelly's mother, and the one responsible for Blackberry's dessert stand.

* SupremeChef: Cooked most of the desserts at Blackberry's; Her red velvet cake was by far Gordon's favorite dish.

* {{Kayfabe}}: He and Shelly accuse Gordon of this when a dead mouse is found at the restaurant's doorstep, claiming he and his crew planted it there to generate more conflict for the show. Gordon nearly stops the episode then and there, as he'll not help someone who calls him a liar for the sake of viewership.
* YesMan: Is this to Shelly when she accuses Gordon of planting a dead mouse in the front door. He eventually comes to his senses though.

The owner of Mill Street Bistro and a ranch near it. He's to this day considered one of the angriest, most stubborn owners in the show's run.

* DumbassHasAPoint: For all his flaws and inaccuracies he had a certain distrust of Gordon that was visible in the show. Later it was revealed he was noticing equipment and food items suddenly going missing when Gordon's staff was working on his restaurant. He also claimed he wasn't compensated in any way for the forced shutdowns and other requirements for the show. He sued Gordon and got a settlement from Ramsay out of court.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Not as bad as Randy, but she once maintained a ''store mannequin'' named Fiona in the front entrance to greet the customers. It freaked out Chef Ramsay the second he walked in.

* SkewedPriorities: Is more concerned about whether a menu is "unique" than whether if its actually good or doable. He also flat-out admitted to Gordon that he considered promoting the restaurant's brand and making a name for himself to be more important than actually serving quality food.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: At the end of the episode, we even get to see the crew tearing down. Amy herself makes it clear she knows she's being televised.

* NeverMyFault: Perhaps the absolute ''worst'' case of this in the series; she had the nerve to suggest Ramsay left because "he knew they did not need his help" even after he condemned their inexcusable behavior towards their staff and customers.

* TranquilFury: Let's face it, she's got a lot of anger constantly but keeps it low key to a certain extent. Of course, until someone presses her buttons or even so much as talks to her, then she erupts.

[[folder:The Seascape]]

The owner and general manager of the restaurant.

The executive chef of the restaurant.

The sous chef of the restaurant.

** She tells Gordon that her staff don't deserve tips because she doesn't believe that they work just as hard as Samy does... all while giving said staff minimal work, prohibiting the more qualified workers from even using the till as part of their job and leaving Samy to mainly work on his own outside the kitchen.

** She tells Gordon that her staff don't deserve tips because she doesn't believe that they work just as hard as her husband does... all while giving her staff minimal work, prohibiting the more qualified workers from even using the till as part of their job and leaving Samy to work on his own outside the kitchen.

** She tells Gordon Ramsay that her staff don't deserve tips because she doesn't believe that they work just as hard as her husband does...all while giving her staff minimal work, prohibiting the more qualified staff workers from even using the till as part of their job, and leaving Samy to work on his own outside the kitchen.
** There's also how Amy insists on cooking food for one customer at a time, which becomes the main reason why so many of her customers are left waiting for more than an hour of service. When they complain that they've been waiting for so long without food? Amy assumes that "they're full of shit" and are really just there to stir up trouble.
** She tells Katy that "she can go, for sure" upon deciding that she's fired at the end of service ([[DisproportionateRetribution for simply asking Amy "are you sure?"]]), prompting Katy to do as she says and leave. Amy somehow interprets this as Katy deliberately ignoring her, causing her to demand Katy to come back so she can [[KickTheDog admonish her for "walking away from her", while also reminding her that she's still fired]]. Katy bursts into tears as a result, which makes Amy ''even more angry'' at her for getting upset.

* InsaneTrollLogic: Amy frequently indugles herself with mindset during her episode:

!!Richard

* VerbalTic: Not to the extend of Dr. Una Morris but when confronted and question Mary herself had her own healthy helping of "Let Me Finish"

Luigi's younger brother, who stepped in to help run the restaurant following their father's retirement.

!!Luigi

The owner of the restaurant. Opened in 1981 with help of his father.

Luigi's younger brother. He steps in to help run the restaurant after their father retires.

Luigi's wife and the restaurant's hostess. Constantly gets into arguments with Tony.

LethalChef: Was royally ripped a new one when Ramsay discovered he was sticking raw onions in his French onion soup, something Joe's own chef confirmed was inappropriate practice at Gordon's urging.

* TheMillstone: It's outright stated that he's the biggest reason why the restaurant is in the state that it is in. Gordon even tell him that him being in the kitchen will hinder any hope of the restaurant improving. During the epilogue of the episode, which revealed that he was once again a chef, even the narration states that the future of Mills Street Bistro was uncertain.

* TheDeterminator: The fact that she stuck with the restaurant so long and worked twice as hard to make up for Peter's shortcomings shows she was this in spades.
