I know it's TV but it looks incredibly intense in a restaurant kitchen.

Lots of shouting, people dashing around, serious confrontation, chefs sweating, they literally look like they are having a breakdown.

Now I've worked at a high level in unrelated businesses, aiming to hit challenging targets and deadlines but I've never resorted to the sort of behaviour I'm describing.

Is it just for TV? Is it just the Ramseys and Marco Pierre White types?

Whats it like in say a really good gastro pub where they cook everything in house?

Do they get all shouty?
