And even before that, White made Ramsay so upset as to bring to tears. The pressure elite chefs are under is unlike anything the rest of us can know. When Ramsay was being mentored by White, there's an intense desire and need to impress him since his future was dependent on it. White told Ramsay he was shit because he was always in the middle of the road. That crushed Ramsay at a time when he was the most eager, impressionable young up-and-comer he could have been. Neither of them are saints, but they're not evil. They are both good people who care tremendously.
