I ate at a Ramsay joint once. I did not want or need any added hot sauce.
However, I have wanted/needed added hot sauce on occasion at all other examples you listed.
Which Ramsay joint?
The London in NYC. I think it's now closed. We did the chef's table for a friend's birthday several years back.
Was it as good as Ramsay would have you believe?
The experience was amazing. A real once in a lifetime type thing for me. Outside of having freshly shaved black truffle for the firs time, I don't really remember anything about the food. It was good but not life changing. But it pales in comparison to just about every other high end place I've been in NYC (Eleven Madison Park, Le Bernardin, The Modern, WD-50, Prune, etc).
But the chef's table experience was out of this world.
Which was the best, and why? Genuine question.
Prune is my all time favorite restaurant. So, it's #1. But it's also not as fancy or high end as the others I listed. It's really more of an in demand, excellent "neighborhood" spot, really. But it's just amazing. The atmosphere is exactly my style. The food is perfection. Great cocktails.
Eleven Madison Park is by far the single greatest dining experience I've ever had. So I think that would be the best of the super fancy high end places. The staff is expert. The service is unmatched. The food was unique and memorable. Everything about the place just works. We dropped more on that meal than any other meal I've ever had and I still feel like we didn't pay enough for the experience.
I've never had service like that before. They brought out the wrong appetizers to our table and the head waiter, just going off our faces stepped up and said, "by now you're wondering why you have these dishes in front of you, we wanted you to experience them while we prepare the dishes you did order. Please enjoy." There were always servers around, taking care of everything we needed before we even knew we needed anything. But I never felt them, if that makes sense. They were like ninjas! Always there but sort of hidden too. It was wild.
1. Eleven Madison Park 2. Le Bernardin 3. Daniel
all 3 are amazing places..funny thing is that i can't tell you what i had to eat while there..daniel is the only one I've been to on multiple occasions (3)

I've been trying to get my dad to take Diet Coke to restaurants because my mom is a diabetic with Alzheimer's so if they fuck up and give her a regular Coke, he won't know until her blood sugar shoots through the roof.
The message there is worse than the hot sauce, "I'm bringing in my own drink because I don't trust you to do your job correctly," but fuck it. We're talking about her health.

Why not just order water? Certainly healthier than DC and you avoid the whole issue.

My mom isn't aware enough to know she's drinking a Coke, but she is aware enough to make a scene if she doesn't get her Diet Coke with dinner.

Taster her Diet Coke before she does to ensure it's not regular?

Also I never made it to Prune
But her cook book is one of the best that I own. I love all her little notes and asides, stuff she would tell her kitchen staff

My mom used to know in a sip if she got regular. I (and I assume the same for my dad) have never been able to tell easily or know for certain.
Honestly, I don't think restaurants give a fuck if a diabetic brings a bottle of Caffeine-Free Diet Coke and pours it into a glass of ice. I just can't get my dad to do it.

i dunno, they can charge a lot for soda and profit margins in the restaurant biz are already razor thin.
