Hell's Kitchen

I loved the Jen time lapse fotage. That shit cracked me up.

I almost fell out of the chair when Craig hit that woman in the head. I heard the people that go into Hells Kitchen get the dinner for free since its on TV n shit so I guess she was just happy to be there. If that was a paying place most people would go off the wall if you even spilt a drink on them, let alone hit them in the head w/ a chair.
 
I agree..them eats gotta be free for people to put up with that shit.

Id go chill for a few hrs and bitch and raise hell..Im a fatty so Id go raise hell with the chef just to here him call me big boy or donkey...gotta love when he calls the fatties that.
 
The food has got to be free. Remember that lady customer from a previous season that had her rack all over Ramsey's hot plate to complain about waiting for service and Ramsey went off on her?

I figured if Ramsey goes off on a customer for coming up to the hot plate and complaining, then it's got to be free.
 
Ya know I really like HK as a tv show ,but to be honest Im so sick of Ramesy b******* about g** d*** risotto that if I were ever served it at one of his restuarants I believe I would loose it ...jumping up on the table ,copping a squat and dropping a steaming muffin right there. but hey thats just me.

i think he bitches so much about it because it is so easy to make and only a moron would fuck it up

Remember Waffle House from last season? Wasn't she supposed to come back after Ramsey sent her to culinary school? Is that gonna be a couple seasons, did she bail or what? Anyone know?
 
I've been meaning to check this show out, but I never really have time to watch TV. "Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares" on the BBC is one of my favorite shows, and I highly recommend it to... pretty much anyone.

The premise of the show is basically this: Gordon Ramsay walks around for an hour saying "fuck me".

Also, it is because of this show that I now say "We're going down like a sack of shit" at every possible opportunity.

I agree.

I remember him offering for her to go to culinary school, but I don't remember him guaranteeing a spot on the show..I thought he told her to try to get back on..
 
[quote name='ShadowSage']I'm pretty sure all the 'patrons' to the restaurant are all paid actors with set scripts to cause trouble on cue.[/quote]

Not true. Yeah you basically need to get on the list/tickets almost like an open casting call but it's generally open to the public. Like most shows with audience participation. They film it on La Brea a couple blocks up from Pink's, at least that's what I heard.

EDIT: Oops, looks like they've since moved:

For seasons one and two, HK filmed in a former news studio on La Brea; season three was at the FOX Studios lot Century Studios. So they moved production again (this time to a location in Culver City)? Our tipster had his Eater Investigative shoes on and tried to get a closer look: "There was a guard in front of the entry facade with the big HK and flaming Hell's Kitchen logo. I walked over Sunday and tried to get a picture but they are back in a cul de sac, so no reason for someone to walk back there by accident. Safe to say they are in full production swing." So next seaon on Hell's Kitchen we'll have a new studio and at least one pizza episode.
 
After seeing these past two episodes, I'd think you're really taking your life into your own hands eating at his place. At least until the group gets pared down to the final six contestants or so.

Where's the Beef Wellingtons? Those things were the bane of past season chefs. I've never had one but after watching them being made last year, I'd be afraid to.
 
Good shit tonight! Glad Jason is gone...and Ben let me down a little. I wish they would have counted the rest of the chicken the other guys cut up cause even if Craig got all 8 pieces the other guys could have fucked it up too....i think that put too much blame on Craig.

The 2 best parts for me were when Ramsey was banging his head on the table after talking to Jason and when Bobby's dumb ass was waving to the patrons on his way out and Ramsey ran after him screaming about it.

yeah i felt bad for craig for the same reason. but it was pretty funny when they threw the peppers at him.

very glad to see jason go. now if only we could get rid of jen.
 
It is amazing how these people with over 10 years of experience can screw up everything.

Where have they been cooking for the last decade? Burger King?
 
Jason is a total tool, and he grossed me out. That one guy (Matt?) who always looks like he's crying needs to go too. He threw a major hissy fit in the room with Craig. I didn't know grown men behaved this way.
 
best things from last two weeks


when that dude hit that women in the back of the head with a chair and just kept walking LOL

when arraon or whatever that dude name is was in that resturant ... Did they ever say what his health problem was that made him drop or did they just kick him off,,,,

I dunno, man. I was ready to make the switch from Top Chef to Hell's Kitchen, but I was not impressed.

Fatty Arbuckle's inability to get a souffle to rise is far more understandable than the New York Wop's perpetual fucking up of the beef tournedos/grease fire.

Don't get me wrong, his blubbering and can't fuckin' memorize three menu items is appalling, but in terms of skill, souffle requires more delicacy than some of the other items.

Regardless, his bullshit "Macho Man Randy Savage" commentary just drizzling with asinine sexism ("I won't go out like a bitch" and "women should be making the desserts" crap) was FANTASTIC because it contrasted so well with his "I really am a bitch" concession in the kitchen during service when he tried to quit, and also his "I really am a dumbass" when he suck his giant mammaries into the hottub to unknowingly collude with the women.

Dumb. Fat. fuck.

Overall, though, the way they showed these people running through a service, I wouldn't hire any of them. Christ almighty. They didn't focus much on LouRoss (who appears to be the guys y'all favor to win), but at least he seemed communicative in the kitchen and helping keep other people on their toes.

Also, Ramsay's bitching about the fu manchu guy's medium salmon was total theater. He served him a medium salmon.
 
My money is on a final between LouRoss and Christina. They really seem to be the only two competent ones. I'm actually really disappointed with this year's group. The past few had at least 8 people that you thought had a chance to take the whole thing.

I was actually impressed with Bobby at tableside last night. His idea to split the chicken was good, and he actually got those people to cheer for him as he left. As much as Ramsey hated it, letting the customers have a pleasant and enjoyable time at dinner is as important as the food.

Also, is anyone else irritated by this year's theme song/opening? I had the whole "elves cooking" thing. Don't know why, but it drives me nuts.
 
I'm still liking the show... maybe just because it's Ramsay yelling at people. Sure, it's gotta me mostly theater, but it's entertaining.

Jason did need to go though...

I dunno if you guys watched the preview for next week's show, but it's got Craig yelling "RIGHT NOOOOWW" in like... the highest pitched voice that's ever come out of a man. It's lookin' to be legit.
 
yeah i missed the preview due to americain idol going long, and my dvr not identifying that....son of a bitch


good to see jason go and all, but imo he was a much better personality to the show. I really don't think that girl that was in the bottom is going to win, so you mind as well leave the guy that is funny as shit on the show.
 
interesting story in TV GUIDE

Winner 1 took kitchen equipment
winner 2 took a job with a lesser title
winner 3 got the job

so it seems even if you win does not mean you will get the job they said your going to get

shocked noone ever sued
 
was it a choice by the contestants by themselves. IIRC, the guy that won the first season was talking a lot about wanting his own place.
 
I just saw last nights. I'm not even really going to comment on what happened. But after the bullriding scene I gotta say this season must have the most unattractive women of all seasons. Jesus. Christina and Rosann look alright, I might even give a pass to Corey but the other 3's uglyness outweigh them. Lou Ross is prettier than the two fat chicks! :lol:
 
What, you don't like Jen and that other chick who's never been shown on the show the entire time? Like seriously, I didn't even realize the other fatty was on the show till they showed her in that scene.
 
I can understand why a lot of people are fucking up.....you are on national tv competing for your own restaurant, being yelled at by one of the best chefs from the UK all while having to cook food to a ridiculous standard....

in basic training most people i was with were in such shell shock from being yelled at, running around and having to do everything from eating to folding underwear perfectly we didnt even take a dump for the 1st 2 weeks.....if you have ever had your ass in the fire for a period of time you would understand
 
if bobby is so damned good why are we not seeing anytyhing from him. I will be the first to tell you that either bobby or that fat black chick one of the two will win and not seen crap from either one. dude with the mohawk seems to have it together to me
 
Yeah Lou Ross FTW. And the Fat chick that just popped out of fucking nowhere! We've never seen her cook. They seem to do a REALLY bad job of evening out camera time.
 
I hope the fat chick gets caught eating off one of her stations then Gordon throws a fit and fires her. Or makes her ride the bull again. Where did my no fat chicks bumper sticker go?
 
I know someone who graduated from a culinary arts school and is looking to be a professional chef and she says that most of the chefs she's worked with are a lot tougher than Gordon Ramsey. Still entertaining TV though.
 
they need jason back...the show just isn't the same with a sexist wannabe disgusting cook.

The guys team appears to lack anyone that can lead, and only a handful of them appear to have any cooking abilities. While craig did suck, it isn't like the crying face guy or ben have any skills. The girs team appears to have several people that can cook, and a couple that want to lead.
 
Lou Ross seems to be the most competent, but he's also the most in the background it seems. We've not seen him really take charge or cook. He seems to do the rallying cry thing and then we don't even see him.
And am I alone in finding Jen the most revolting thing of the series? I don't know what it is...but I can't stomach anything with her in it and I just skip away as soon as she comes on.
 
Jen is disgusting. And that guy Matt always looks like he's about to cry. He's the guy with the sad eyebrows and looks like Bert. Should have cut him and Craig together. Raw chicken would get anyone fired.
 
Whats so disgusting about her (besides possibly looks)...she is entertaining character on the show...I didn't like her personality the first couple of episodes, but she is a good bad character to have on this reality show.
 
I only watched the first episode, I have the rest on DVR and what not but I don't ever remember seeing a guy and thinking "Hey, that guy looks like me".

As far as cooking, I can cook better than most people I've met. I can't remember the last time I had a re-fire while people around me pull 5-6 a week end. I think that pretty much sums it all up. It's not about what you cook but if you can cook it perfect each time. If you cook a pork chop at home mid-well and your girl wanted it mid, it's not really a big deal, she'll eat it any how. You pull that shit on the line, you're an asshole, you get it back and have to do it again.
 
We should just have a CAG BBQ weekend and all cook food for each other, and then let Jimjack tell us how bad it all is.

I'll handle the Italian grub. You schmucks can do whatever you want. Myke I guess that means you're just doing beer runs the whole time, which I will insist you do in your roller derby skates.
 
I just finished with the 3rd episode(?) it's from 4/15.

This fat guy Jason needs to go home soon but I figure they'll keep him around because he's good for TV, but in real life, he'd be packin' meat on a truck on the docks.

Craig takes alot of shit but he keeps on workin' but he is a bit of a bitch. Big deal if they keep asking you "How Long". The answer changes. I don't care if you said "3 mins" 30 seconds ago because if you drop/burn one you're not going to tell me, you're going to try and rush it and that's not good so just fuckin answer them. "3 mins" then they ask you again in a 45 seconds, say "2 mins" and that's that. Don't be a bitch and sit there like they have to remember what you said and wonder if you're still on track.

LouRoss is still my pick for World Champ. They don't focus on him much but when they do, you can tell he knows what the fuck he's doing.
 
I still am betting on a Christina-LouRoss final.

Christina was nice at first, but she's really turning into superbitch deluxe.
 
You know, on a personal note, if I were to create a "fantasy team" line, both AM and PM shifts and only picking from all the people I've ever worked with, the whole restaurant would be mostly female. Chicks try harder, cry less and feel they have to break the stereotype that they're weak.
 
[quote name='JimmieMac']LouRoss is still my pick for World Champ. They don't focus on him much but when they do, you can tell he knows what the fuck he's doing.[/QUOTE]

My guess is that he's a savvy guy, and they picked inept psychological cases in order to make Ramsay's blathering persona seem "harsh." The kinds of folks who, like the fat fuck Jason, couldn't recall a three-item dessert menu, or couldn't butcher a chicken - and then panicked and cried when Ramsay did what damn near every chef on the face of the planet does.

That being said, LouRoss knows the game and just isn't playing it. That's why I don't think he's focused on so much.

I still think the cast on Top Chef would make the HK crew look like the third shift from McDonald's in the shitty part of town. Even the annoying bastard who was all over Wylie Dufresne's cock.

If that's all you want me to do, I won't complain. fuck, give me two month's notice and I'll make the beer.

I dunno. Sometimes I watch TC and I just don't get what the hell they are thinking. It's even harder to not scream when you hear them justify some of their ridiculous decisions.

I personally think the skillsets for TC vs HK are different - one is a show about various challenges and coming up with dishes, and the other is a highly intense environment where you're under the gun to get stuff out as quickly and perfectly as possible. Maybe there's not a lot of distinction between the two, but I wouldn't know since I'm not a chef.

So now I am very curious how these two groups might compete against each other.

On a related note, the more I watch of TC, the more I think the first two seasons were the higher caliber, with perhaps season 1 having the overall edge.

If that's all you want me to do, I won't complain. fuck, give me two month's notice and I'll make the beer.

Name your dishes as well.

Mac 'n cheese is entirely exempt.
 
Aww man Strell, you've disappointed me. You were the next post after someone says "Dufresne" in the context of restaurants and there's no Mitch Hedburg quotes? We gotta keep the memory alive! :lol:
 
I can't risk more infractions from slap happy mods throwing out points on "off topic posts," as the nonsense ones I have now won't expire until 2012, roughly 5 days after the Mayans think the world will end. I think the next punishment is serving detention on a Saturday morning in the high school library with five people I don't know or like, all dressed in way outdated clothing.

But man. Wylie Dufresne. What a cool name. I'd love to find out he was the inspiration behind the joke. And/or potentially part of the inspiration behind "Los Enchiladas," which I still need to somehow track down a copy of.

Also, I hear they are releasing a new CD with "new" material. The moment I can preorder this, I'm probably going to get about 18 copies.
