There are two sides to every story - BBC

Gordon Ramsay says he remembers it "like yesterday". Asked about the final night of a restaurant job, when he cried, he wants to revisit the experience face to face rather than leave it in the past.

The BBC documentary excerpt, titled "There are two sides to every story - BBC", moves between a separate interview with Ramsay and a conversation across a table. Ramsay challenges the suggestion that he made himself cry. He describes being grabbed and slammed against a wall or coffee machine; his account is denied during the exchange.

Taken from Rise of the Rockstar Chef, the Short had reached roughly 730,000 views in 13 hours, already far beyond the BBC channel's usual first-day audience for this format.

The series brings together restaurant memories and the pursuit of perfection in British fine dining. Here, the focus is not a dish but an unresolved experience at work. The clip ends with Ramsay getting up from the table, saying he is going to help Heston Blumenthal.
