Gordon Ramsay haunted by Arizona restaurant. 'Sticks in my mind'

In a TikTok video by Deadline, an interviewer asked Gordon Ramsay to name an episode of any of his shows that "has always stuck out to you."

"Oh, it's a tough one," he said. "I've been fortunate to work with so many contributors. But I think one that always sticks in my mind is Amy's Baking Company, a bakery that was fascinating, it was demanding, it was tough for all the wrong reasons. So, suddenly I got asked to leave, and I'll be honest with you. I couldn't wait to get the (expletive) out of there."

For those who missed it, the episode aired on Kitchen Nightmares in 2012. It involved shouting, threats with a knife, lots of expletives and meowing. Three years after the show aired, the restaurant closed and the owners moved back to Israel.

The TikTok video has garnered almost 56,000 likes and over 380 comments. Statements ranged from a version of "I knew it" to some wondering why he didn't choose "the one with a dog pooping in the restaurant."

Luke Legende wrote: "Yeah but can we talk about how ICONIC that hour of television was?! we all knew the answer before he said it. almost 20 years later."
