hell's kitchen

[Hammer]

anyone see this last night?

i can't believe anyone puts up with this british a-hole's sh1t. that stuff may fly in england, but not here. i'm surprised his customer's put up with it as long as they did.

its like apprentice, but the prize is your own restaurant, and instead of trump, they have the british guy that has to be the biggest a-hole ever to be on tv.

If it was truly a Reality Show that asshole would get his butt kicked.

I caught some of it last night - nothing else was on so I watched it for a few minutes.

He hated almost all the dishes. The two he did like were the turkey meat tacos and the chicken parmesan. All the chefs looked like they were about to cry.

I thought it was freakin' hilarious. Of course, I was a fan of the brit-com "Chef" too.

well it was funny to see him throw food on people and to call those ladies that complained about the wait for food bimbos.

but at the same time, it makes me think its fake because he would have gotten his a$$ kicked within the first 10 minutes in real life. and all the customers would have left within the first hour.

It was pretty funny stuff, but you can't tell me that the customers weren't paid/warned in advance.

Who have you got over there?
We recently had the 2nd series over here, where 2 kitchens battled it out. It was great.

Is it a British chef in a US restaurant or what?

 

[Adica]

I guess rude English a$$holes are the "in" thing these days.
I thought the show sucked. Over dramatical non-reality.

 

[mzkhadir]

I caught the last part, next weeks ep is the restaurant is without air conditioning so its gonna get pretty hot in there.

that's nothing. i've worked with chefs worse than that. working in 120+ degree temperatures is nothing.... 5 each menu items? laughable.

there is also another pbs restaurant show with Cooking Under Fire.

Here is a review :

i've seen the promos a number of times (yes, i watch commercials )

the british guy in charge is awful. i'd never watch such a pathetic attempt for a reality tv show.

 

[knyghtbyte]

that guy gordon ramsey really is like that....lol....i know someone who used to work under him...he doesnt care, he will ALWAYS get people going to his restaurant to eat or work as he is a genius in the kitchen, and behaving as he does ensures he gets less idiots and pompous twats that dont know how to behave with decorum.....

 

[Nevada]

one of the people on the show went to HS with me. i missed it last night though. i need to add it to tivo and see how it is.

 

[Dr. Detroit]

Thought it was funny, definitely tries hard but the Chef was a riot and the contestants were uber morons, I think I could cook better than those idiots!

different cultures, my friend. that stuff may fly in england, but people here will just get pissed off and not go back there, no matter how good he is. americans don't take things the same way brits do. its why weakest link failed over here.

 

[shopbruin]

as much as i enjoy people being belitted on reality shows... this just seemed too much. i don't know if i can watch it again, but the bf finds it hilarious.

 

[cain]

a brother at my fraternity said it reminded him of pledging, personally i haven't seen it. but from everything i have heard about the show, i would say he's right on the money
