My favorite part of Kitchen Nightmares is when the server has to relay Chef Ramsey's pithy critiques to the cook or owner of the restaurant. He'll say something that sounds witty coming out of his mouth but sounds so awkward when said by anyone else.
Ramsey [to server]: "This tastes like the cook cut out a giraffe's tongue and deep fried it!"
Server [to cook] "He, uh, says that tastes like, um, a deep-fried giraffe tongue?"
