Hell's Kitchen 2009 (Tuesdees Fox):

[Mother Shucker]

Anyone still on board with me? I was mad they got rid of the little homo. I think he could have made some funny moments.

[flyerfan116]

I'm gonna try to stay on board, but it will be tough since I DVR CSI and my wife DVR's Grey's Anatomy, but it think it'll be on on demand. Looks like they actually got some good chefs this year with only a couple thrown in for entertainment value , as opposed to last year where it was the exact opposite.

I think the little homo would have added a few good moments, but the dude screwed up garnish, I plan to go to the Borgata when the restaurant opens so i don't want some little fairy who can't cook a gnocchi wasting my money

[fandango86]

I watched it for the first time ever last night and thought it was great, although I've never wanted to murder more people in my life. They really have found the most unlikeable people on earth, although I guess that's the reality of reality TV now - only the dregs are going to turn out now that they're fully aware of what they're going to be put through.

The chef that they made be the waitress for the night made my funny parts feel warm.

[Hoagie]

I watched it for the first time too. It really is a set up for failure at the start. They have people who have never worked on a line in a restaurant before in there. And that delusional fat bitch who said who said she wanted to show she was "not just a pretty face"? A fucking "corporate buffet chef"? She's a fucking lunch lady.

[grail]

It's infuriating the incompetence these "professionals" show on this show. If you happened to catch the 3rd season of Ramsay's F word over the last week or two on BBCA, would see what I mean. He took 4 amatuers from Lancashire and kicked ass.

I will still definetly watch it this program. I also hate the delusional cunt from Nebraska. No one can cook in NE that I've ever seen. What makes her think she could run a restuarant.

I am thinking that the chinese girl will be the one that wins this.

[Bill Lehecka]

I watched it for the first time... Is it just me, or is Ramsay being a dick just to be a dick? I understand his allure is to be this big, egomanaical, alpha male demanding perfection, but seriously, he just comes off like an immature baby to me. Yeah, the cooks are incompetent, but Jesus, Ramsay must make great food for people to put up with his shitty attitude.

It actually made me appreciate Opie more for not giving a shit about sitting at Ramsay's Chef's Table last year or two years ago...

I agree with the Chinese girl winning. She looks like she has her shit together and is there to win and not deal with petty attention whore shit.

[distortion9]

I'm in......again.

I believe last year I said I won't be watching this season unless they increased the talent level. Looks like they may have, so...

The chef that they made be the waitress for the night made my funny parts feel warm

YES....her and another girl (Paula?) are pretty cute. I also have a feeling they know how to cook.

They have people who have never worked on a line in a restaurant before in there.

As soon as I heard that I was like, "Oh boy.....this moron is in deep shit."

Work in a restaurant, develop your skills talent, then, maybe, take a corporate gig because you're burnt and need cool as fuck hours. But to have NEVER worked on a line.....wow.

It's infuriating the incompetence these "professionals" show on this show. If you happened to catch the 3rd season of Ramsay's F word over the last week or two on BBCA, would see what I mean. He took 4 amatuers from Lancashire and kicked ass.


Anyplace I can catch that online?

I also hate the delusional cunt from Nebraska. No one can cook in NE that I've ever seen. What makes her think she could run a restuarant.

Is this the same dope that is an "Instructor" but never went to culinary school or was a chef?

Is it just me, or is Ramsay being a dick just to be a dick?

It's really the only reason to watch the show...

It actually made me appreciate Opie more for not giving a shit about sitting at Ramsay's Chef's Table last year or two years ago...

I would kill a person if I could sit at a Ramsey Chef's Table....KILL.

I agree with the Chinese girl winning. She looks like she has her shit together and is there to win and not deal with petty attention whore shit.

Yeah....pretty sure she'll be in the final three. The two that waited tables didn't get to cook so I'll wait to see how they do before making any predictions.

A good way to narrow it down is to see who flew under the radar and didn't choke on day one. That would totally be my strategy....keep my head down and just don't be the worst. Especially the first few episodes.

I mean, how hard is it to not be the worst out of 16?

[Myhairygrundle]

I love this show. My favorite Ramsey saying...."It's..RAWWWWW!!!!!"

[Vyce]

I don't think he does it JUST to be a dick, but holy shit was he brutal in that first episode. When he introduces the woman who cooked chicken enchiladas by asking "Alright, who cooked the diapers?", you know it's going to be a looooooong season for these folks.

[Reaper G]

Totally forgot that it was back. Not sure yet if I should watch this season or not.

Looks like NBC is getting into the act (a.k.a. hoo hoo!): "Chopping Block", starring Ramsay's even more psychotic mentor, Marco Pierre White.

[cosmic cow]

when this show first came out i never watched it and thought it had to be awful. Then I watched Kitchen Nightmares on BBC and loved the show "Touch the wall you filthy PIG!!!"
Love Chef Ramsey and caught this show for the first time. Seems like a good show although I like Kitchen Nightmares better "You lazy french bastard!!"

[grail]

Anyplace I can catch that online?

I haven't found anything online. The BBCA website shows repeats of season 1 through most of the month. Youtube has a bunch of clips, I don't know how far that will get you. It's a great show though.



Is this the same dope that is an "Instructor" but never went to culinary school or was a chef?

Yes

Reaper any more info on chopping block?

[JMCC]

I'm in. Can't get enough or Ramsey :icon_mrgr

I love this show. My favorite Ramsey saying...."It's..RAWWWWW!!!!!"

Mine is "YOU'RE A DONKEY"

I don't think he does it JUST to be a dick, but holy shit was he brutal in that first episode. When he introduces the woman who cooked chicken enchiladas by asking "Alright, who cooked the diapers?", you know it's going to be a looooooong season for these folks.

Same here, I think he is just amazed that some of these guys called themselves chefs and can't cooked a risotto properly and the only way to get his point across is to bring them down from whatever magical land they live in and tell they suck.

[dolphin cunt]

Hells kitchen is a fuckin great show I love it when he starts throwing and kicking things like a little kid. It's funny as hell.

[maxeypad]

Hells Kitchen...fuck yeah....another year, another thread......gotta love this show, even though its so fake now...chef ramsey is the shit

[TeenPinkSock]

I'm in again. I cant wait to see that stupid fat bitch crash and burn.

[angrybeerguy]

Food network has a show called Chopped also. Love the new season. Anyone still watching Top Chef?

Definitely in for Hell's Kitchen, same for Top Chef.

"I don't want customers complaining about 12" orange pubic hairs in their risotto", or something like that.

[Mother Shucker]

I liked that slope Ji. Oh well, sucks to be you.

[thelord68]

I'm surprised Ramsey didn't toss that lunch lady Lacey anyway. She bailed during prep for the first service. She hid in bed during raw bar prep. Actually, I'm surprised he didn't toss her BEFORE service.

[DeltaPin]

I can't stand that fat cow Lacey



Big man wins a boat ride. I chuckled.

[fandango86]

Ok, two episodes in and this is my favorite tv show of all time. Here's the magic - they have these annoying, incompetent people just like every other reality show, but you actually root for them to stick around for a while so Ramsey can scream at them and make them cry. I could watch him yell at the cooking school woman all day. 'You're ROBBING people!'

[grail]

Damn I did want the chink to win.

I hope he takes Lacey to the abattoir, the fat lazy pig.

[Sevenyars]

I'm in for all of it.
Top chef
Hell's kitchen
Chopped
Ultimate recipe

For some reason people trying to make a four star meal out of 6 things that shouldn't go together in 30 minutes fasinates me.
My favorite part of these shows is when the judges really go after the chef about how his food has failed.

" we gave you coffee beans, peanut butter, tofu, Green onions, duck breast and frosted flakes. You had one half hour no prep time and this is the crap you give us back."

I just love it all.

[highfive]

The wheel chair was a bit much. However, I love this show. The way he rides that bitch that has the cooking school is priceless.

lmao....that's "Chopped" to a t.

FWIW, "Top Chef" thread is in the Food Forum.

[Motor Head]

That woman that hasn't been to culinary school and "teaches" people how to cook is from my hometown. My wife has gone to a few of her demonstrations. She can cook, but there is a huge difference between cooking for your family and cooking in a restaurant.

I'm shocked she made it this far. I was a line cook when I was in high school for a restaurant called "Grandmothers" that was about the equivalent of something a little more up scale then Applebee's. I remember screaming at wait staff, them screaming back, the sous chef screaming at me. That doesn't happen at home cooking for your husband and two kids. She is out of her league.

[DocSavage]

Heard Hells Kitchen is coming to the Borgata in AC!

[wes mantooth]

I'm glad to see they upped the talent level this year. I almost wrote off the show after last season. Fat pig Lacey is a baby momma in waiting...you just know she'll be popping out a mongrel at some point. The cooking school milf is a moron for even mentioning that she charges people for cooking lessons. It's like in boot camp, just fly under the radar and don't make yourself standout too much. Hell, I've never even been to boot camp and I know this. Also, as cute as the first server chick was, none can compare to Bonnie from the 07 season. I'd go stalker for her.

Maybe not in your home. :action-sm

[Floyd1977]

I got around to watching the last episode last night. I know reality shows are manipulated and cleverly edited, but the last episode seemed like it was going right off a full blown script. The way the challenge came down to the very last scallop and the dinner service being right down to the wire and the chick with the sprained ankle interjects and quits right as Gordon was about to oust someone.

Still enjoy it though.

[Mother Shucker]

Heard Hells Kitchen is coming to the Borgata in AC!

Yeah, the winner of this show will run the one at the Borg.

I would drink her bathwater, and use her dirty panties to make tea. She was SMOKING hott!!!!!

[deathtrip]

This show is awesome. I never miss an episode.

[maxeypad]

the wheel chair was fucking hilarious last week

[Mother Shucker]

Tonight is the night. Who goes?

[grail]

bumped... haven't watched the episode from last night but I'll probably watch it tonight.

[Mother Shucker]

Glad the kid with the hardware on his face got the boot.

[distortion9]

This show stinks on ice.

[Biff Hardslab]

I'm now convinced this show is a work. No way in real life would that jugheaded 'tard or that fat whiny cow remain. They are kept on purely for entertainment purposes, not skill. The "executive chef" of a steak house can't cook a steak. None of these "professional chefs" can make speghetti or risotto. You would think after 4 seasons, one of these fucksticks would have bought one of Ramsey's cookbooks and learned how to make risotto before auditioning for the show.

All reality shows that have been on for more than 3 seasons are a work on the part of the producers. When they 'cast' the show, they are looking for two groups of people: Those that can actually win, and those that have no talent, but are deluded/unstable to the point that they think they can win. Those that don't fall into either group are the first to be eliminated.

American Idol is trying a new twist this year, with a contestant named Norman, who is fully aware that he has no talent and no chance at winning, and has treated the whole audition process as a joke. Only thing is the judges called him on it, and will now let him humiliate himself live on national tv. Of course, it could backfire on them if he gets voted through, but that's a discussion for the AI thread...

[Floyd1977]

Probably many of them do. There are probably some who know exactly how to make Ramsay's dishes, but they are not the ones who are going to to get chosen for the show. As for not learing how to do it inside and out once they find out they were chosen, that's another question. But the "pressure" of being on the show and environment probably throws people off as well.

[maxeypad]

"move you stupid donkey!!"

[MACHINE1376]

I felt robbed last week. I wanted the women to lose damn it!

[Mother Shucker]

She needs her tomato butter sau......

[TravisRB69]

Holy hell EVERYONE was dropping the ball tonight. Ramsay is a traitor to males everywhere saddling the men with Lacey Lardass.

[Floyd1977]

Ramsay is a traitor to males everywhere saddling the men with Lacey Lardass.

It seems to me like she's the one being set up like a train wreck, but is ultimately going to last awhile through possibly just dumb luck ending up on winning teams or being just good enough to not be the worst on any given week. They just set it up so obviously for her to be the one everyone wants to see get kicked off. She kind of reminds me of, I think, Matt last season.

[grail]

I am waiting for the "accident" where a pot of fry oil is dumped someone. The show is horrendous. I will keep watching, however I do wish Ramsay would have picked better. This is worse than the last group. Another twist that I would like is to drop 4 chefs and replace them with one that didn't quite make it on Top chef. That would rock.

[Myhairygrundle]

I'm really disappointed with this season. That sloth Lacy makes me want to shit on a steam table.

None of these fuckers can really cook.

Heck, most of the cooking in fine dining places is done by South American immigrants anyway....

I get really annoyed watching all the "contestants" sitting around smoking. Way to fuck up your pallet. Gordon Ramsey is a fitness nut and some kind of kung fu master...

I like Kitchen Nightmares better than this season of Hell's Kitchen.


Oh, and I really hate the fake customers.

[Bill Lehecka]

Speaking of the smoking, I don't think I've ever seen a show where there are so many people smoking at one time. Is that typical in the culinary field, IE line cooks and the like? Every show I've seen of Hell's Kitchen, even going back to past seasons, the damn cooks were smoking.... It seems kinda blatant.

[Floyd1977]

I don't think I've ever seen a show where there are so many people smoking at one time

Try watching "Mad Men"

[distortion9]

Every show I've seen of Hell's Kitchen, even going back to past seasons, the damn cooks were smoking.... It seems kinda blatant.

I think it is.

When I went to culinary school EVERYONE smoked (I smoke too). There's a certain "type" person that gets into this field, a lot of creative, misfit types...artists, musicians, etc. Awful hours and low pay....who else would want this job?

Generally, I think (just my opinion) a lot of people that appreciate/cook good food also appreciate good life. Meaning, for lack of a better description, living a sex, drugs, rock and roll type life style. Smoking is not good for you, neither is rendered bacon fat but, fuck it, it's fun and tastes good. If you notice, they are usually all pounding beers while they're smoking too. Just like on Top Chef, when they're all in the stew room, they're drinking their asses off.

Also consider this. Working on a line in a restaurant is HIGHLY stressful. To keep that pace up and stay focused for that long is very hard. It really is like an adrenaline rush. You're not just working your station, you need to time that shit with everyone else. There's fire behind you, boiling oil, a guy running by with a knife...EVERYTHING is either sharp or hot...it's crazy on a line...it's great. When that last ticket goes out, a drink and a smoke is almost mandated.

[chumpy]

I do hear what you're saying but don't fully agree. The vast majority in the kitchen are as you described some kind of misfit, rebel artist types. My experience has shown me that we are all a group of loners brought together as a team.

What I don't understand is the smoking part. Obviously, I don't and never have. It slowly destroys your sense of smell which in turn effects your sense of taste. Smell accounts for about 80+ percent of your tasting ability. That's why you can't taste shit when you are congested.

I don't get why anyone in this buisness would risk numbing their palate and not put out the best possible food.

That said, I've worked with guys who smoke like mad but make great shit. It still makes no sense to me

[DC Chick]

Lacey gets booted to the mens team, and says the women are bitches who loves drama. Strong words from the c**t who slept through 6 hours of a challange two weeks ago.

Ramone, this Lacey belongs with Lil Connor also.

[Mother Shucker]

And don't forget, she is a fat pig too.

[DeltaPin]

Pretty good night:

Survivor - Old Hag Stacy gone

Hell's Kitchen - Old Hag Colleen gone.

and there was much rejoicing

[maxeypad]

can I get a hail chef ramsay?! haha sorry...(i'm wasted)

[Biff Hardslab]

Pretty good night:

Survivor - Old Hag Stacy gone

Hell's Kitchen - Old Hag Colleen gone.

and there was much rejoicing

Not quite, my sweet Tatiana Del Toro got the boot from Idol last night. Great sadness as I'll never see those thick lucious thighs on the show again. I'm going to miss that hot, sexy psycopath.

[Mother Shucker]

It was a great night last night.

[JMCC]

Collen had to go, good call by Ramsey.

[cosmic cow]

since idol went long my dvr missed the last 2 or 5 minutes......NNNNOOOO!!!

it would have been great if he called fatso Bobby after their talk

[Floyd1977]

I guess Lacey managed to step up last night. I told you that she was being made to look like the initial train wreck who manages to stick around. However as a person, just everything about her is completely intolerable.

[Floyd1977]

And by the way. Holy rack on that chick who came to judge the challege. She was pretty hot too.

[Motor Head]

since idol went long my dvr missed the last 2 or 5 minutes......NNNNOOOO!!!

Same thing happened to me. COCKSUCKING American Idol, that show blows fucking goats.:mad4:

[TeenPinkSock]

Yeeeeesssssss. She did have a great set of tits on her.

[Floyd1977]

Anyone watch this last episode?

The service was for a bunch of bar owners who were there thowing some douchey kid with braces a Bar Mitzvah (and there's no lost irony that they probably got the gig thrown for them for free). The challenge was to make a menu for that kid, his mother and his ancient Jewish Grandmother. They also had some super gay event planner there. The girls team lost both the challenge and the service and the got rid of the black girl (Coi?) Even though few in the team thought she should have been the one kicked off.

I started watching this show somewhat recently, can anyone tell me if there has ever been ANY challenge that was a decisive victory for one team. Every one I have ever seen has come down to the very end, so they could get a commercial in. I know a lot of it is in the editing, but if one team was decisively victorious, even editing could not have hid it. Has that ever happened?

Yeah that happened a few times last yr. He had the womens team finish the mens teams service last yr. Since the men were bombing. id say that was pretty decisive.

[Motor Head]

What the fuck was up with the staged gay party planner and the what's his French name guy? Cmon, just cook the fucking food and don't attempt to inject staged bullshit into the show. When they dropped the cake it was so badly staged and acted I wanted to fly to LA just to shit in the rosatto.

**EDIT** The womens team always seem to win a challenge when it comes to a photo shoot being apart of the reward. I'm sure it will happen again.

The staged bullshit really made me angry. It was so put on. Why the hell was that added? There's enough staged dramatics within the kitchen. Why involve the event planner?

[grail]

Last night's episode is starting to take me out of the show. Ramsay needs to sack everyone and start over. I am now wanting to see the UK version more because of the ineptitude of the writing of this one.

[English Gent]

The US version is over-edited, over-dramatised bullshit, but the UK version suffers because the teams are made up of Z-list celebrities, and not real chefs. Ramsay only did the first season of the UK version, and refused to do it again because he couldn't stomach doing it with celebrities. The only reason he agreed to do the US version was because they agreed to do it with actual chefs.

Sorry, but I haven't seen an actual chef yet from that show except maybe the guy who won season 1

[Biff Hardslab]

After seeing the dreck they have tried to pass off as chefs this season, I'm all for putting Crazy Jen in the cast for the next.

Lacy's meltdown last night has been the best part so far this season. "I DON"T KNOWWWWW!!!!!"

Hold on to your hats folks, next week a "customer" has the audacity to argue with Chef Ramsey. I bet he tells her a thing or two.

[thelord68]

Thank god Lacy is gone. "I don't know how to cook meat". But she sure looked like she knew how to eat it.

LA got screwed last night. Not that I thought she wouldn't be gone sooner than later, but Carol's screw ups meant the stuff LA prepped sat too long.

[Bill Lehecka]

OK, I know the show isn't over yet, but did I honestly see a chef in their jacket THAT THEY USE TO PREPARE FOOD IN... cleaning A TOILET?!?!?

They better have changed jackets. Holy fuck did that make me sick.

[Floyd1977]

The chick who complained to Ramsay about her food seemed to be an obvious plant to me

Also, it seemed like the blue team was picked as the losers so they could go with the shock of kicking Carol off. Too bad too without the rag over her head she was kind of cute

That makes it better?

I like fat boy.

[Govt_Property]

Is Geov the favorite right now? They preyy much all suck, he just seems to suck the least.

[BullsLawDan]

This is my least favorite Ramsay show but I'm still in.

Most favorite being BBC Kitchen Nightmares, followed by The F-Word.

[maxeypad]

fat boy is going all the way! w00

I watched that a few times up until they showed a mass pig castration. That image is still burned in my mind and gives me douche chills every time I think of it.

[Bill Lehecka]

Riiiight... He's shutting down Hell's Kitchen...

Yeah, whatever. This show is more contrived than my lower intestine. I still watch, though.

Paula's the darkhorse... But I don't think she's got a shot because they haven't fleshed out her character.

[Capt.Quint]

RADIO PSYCHIC! RADIO PSYCHIC!

Yeah... But I'll miss him being singled out because of his weight. The Big wheel bike was hilarious...

I was sorry to see Robert go. He could cook. Ben is all talk. Danny for the win.

[Mother Shucker]

Yeah, I guess I have to root for Danny now too.

[wes mantooth]

I was sorry to see Robert go. He could cook. Ben is all talk. Danny for the win.


Yep. Danny should take it. I think Andrea's just being kept around for torturing at this point.

[grail]

Ben's gone finally. Now to get rid of Andrea.

[chumpy]

Yay, that dumb cunt is finally gone!! This should be a good finale

[Cybouncer]

I was thinking that it was going to be Danny for a while now but after the last few weeks, I think it's going to be Paula.

Wouldn't mind seeing her bent over a sink spreading her ass either.

Just saying...

[fandango86]

I love this show. After all the stupidity, they still got the right two people.

Still think Carol was the hottest, but Paula showed a little promise last night.

[JMCC]

Paula's sister looked good, at least for the 5 secs she was on tv...

I think its pretty even, with the slight edge to Paula...

[maxeypad]

i so haven't watched this season....ever since fatty left...i have no one to root for....i'm sure i'll just download this season once it's over

HAIL RAMSAY!

[Mother Shucker]

I have no idea who I want to lose the most. I guess the long haired douche.

[DC Chick]

The two finalists (one of whom is "the long haired douche") have checked into a suite at the Borgota. The camera showed a lot of it, it's huge and very fancy. It's probably a suite that they give to high rollers. I wonder if Anthony has stayed there before....

I think Paula's going to win. She seems a bit wiser and less delusional than Danny. And Ramsay like's to pick the women, look how long he kept Andrea around this season.

[Biff Hardslab]

I've finally figured it out. Lacy is the live action Meg Griffin.

[Mother Shucker]

Danny, you can act like a man, what's the matter with you?

New name, crying long haired douche.

[Vyce]

Fucking bitter I am that Paula didn't win.

At least this is a show where the people who make it to the finals actually have talent, so I'm sure she'll find / have found work out of this.

[JMCC]

I thought Paula would win, but Danny did very good throughout the season.

[DocSavage]

Ok I admit...I only saw the first show and the last. But, as this is Wackbag, I'm entitled to a completed uneducated opinion!

It struck me that Danny was a hugely immature douche bag with an overblown cocky attitude. The exact kind of personality that will be welcomed into the Borgata culture.

Paula would not have fit in there.

[luckie1710]

Season 6 is starting next month. It's moving to tuesday nights - july 21st.

[peas hode]

wow...already? thats awesome

[maxeypad]

yeah i remember when Hells Kitchen was a summer time show....wow another season so quickly.....i might actually watch season 6!

[luckie1710]

wow...already? thats awesome

Yeah. Just saw the commercial on line in the cafeteria.

[Mother Shucker]

That is a fucking quick turnaround.

[The Sarge]

bump!

[Biff Hardslab]

I think I can speak for myself and some others when I say this thread would be better without the stupid "tuesdees" Norton stroke victim baby talk schtick in the thread title.

[Mother Shucker]

Uh, that guy could be the biggest dink in reality TV history.

[johnnyrust]

so they're just hiring actors now?
although i must say the script is pretty damn good!

[Biff Hardslab]

Uh, that guy could be the biggest dink in reality TV history.

I'd agree with you if this was a reality show. This farce is so scripted you can see them reading the cue cards

[Motor Head]

Nice to see some unemployed actors get some work.

[FellowTraveler]

Ok...it is now officially a work. Stop calling it a reality show and call it a cooking entertainment show.

[luckie1710]

U guys are so right. None of these so called chefs are actually cooks. They are all actors trying to get work.

I must have missed the cue cards. Thanks for pointing that one out to me.

[Vyce]

For you wrestling fans, "Van" - the wigger douche who threatened to beat up Jean-Philippe in episode 2 - is the real-life son of former female pro wrestler Luna Vachon.

[Reaper G]

I missed last week. How/why did fat Robert get a second chance like this? And did anyone notice Heather (Season 2 winner) as the red team's sous chef?

I won't say these are actors -- maybe some have done both cooking and acting -- but the whole thing is so obviously staged.

Lovely = false advertising.

[BullsLawDan]

Lovely = false advertising.

Ugh, tell me about it.

Did anyone else notice that for two weeks in a row the women have put up the two black chicks for elimination?

All that would make that funnier is if someone on the team said it was because they were "lazy and shiftless."

[wes mantooth]

I really want Lovely gone so of course she'll be on the show until the last three or four are left. She's a fatter, blacker version of Lacey from last season.

[homelessjim]

If I was a producer on this show I would definitely fuck with the ovens so none of the temperatures are right. One oven would be 150 degrees higher than the dial, and the other 150 degrees lower than the dial. That would make for some fun! Someone should also grease the floors with some PAM. I loooovvvvee accidents.

[ginaf20697]

They don't need Pam. With that fat pig Robert there I'm sure his greasy flop sweat is all over the place.

[Myhairygrundle]

Line cooking is not done by white people. It is done by Mexicans or Ecuadorians. White people suck on the line.

If you can't cook scallops, you need to put your head in the oven.

[chumpy]

That's bullshit! Although it's true that they are all over the kitchen. I did just fine on the line. So shut up before you hurt my feelings.:action-sm

Holy fucking shit, I didn't know Anthony Bourdain was a member of Wackbag....nice.


That's bullshit! Although it's true that they are all over the kitchen. I did just fine on the line. So shut up before you hurt my feelings.:action-sm

X2

After a couple of weeks, during my internship, I was thrown to the wolves....held my own with no problem. In fact, I was consistently asked to pull doubles when the coke heads would no show for Friday night dinner service.

Working the line is most definitely a sink or swim deal.

[Myhairygrundle]

That's bullshit! Although it's true that they are all over the kitchen. I did just fine on the line. So shut up before you hurt my feelings.:action-sm

I'm sure you are just fine on the line :icon_mrgr

But you know what I'm talking about....


The majority of BOH employees are not white and do not speak much English.

A kitchen staffed with all non-spanish folks is not exactly an accurate portrayal of real life.

[Mother Shucker]

On a whole, yes, it is amigo's on a kitchen line. But this is high end shit, more white then night.

[DeltaPin]

From the previews it looks like Robert should have spent the time between seasons cutting a few pounds.

[The Sarge]

Fat Robert was dizzy and was sent to the hospital before dinner service.

It was after a challenge that they lost. They had to bike it up a hill to get onions and potatoes.

The manly black chick was kicked out of the kitchen by Gordon.

Good episode.

[Floyd1977]

Fat Robert was dizzy and was sent to the hospital before dinner service.

What were they thinking making Robert do that bike knowing of his condition. They almost literally killed him. Wonder if they paid him off in any way.

[Capt.Quint]

What were they thinking making Robert do that bike knowing of his condition. They almost literally killed him. Wonder if they paid him off in any way.

Ya, I kinda thought that was bullshit that they made him do that knowing what happened to him last season. They should of just gave him something else to do in the kitchen while the others went on the bike thing. Or maybe he should've just lost some lbs :icon_wink

[The Sarge]

Should be good.

[The Sarge]

Ramsey is a fuckin' clown. A cool one, at that.

[The Sarge]

BUMP, bitches.

[Reaper G]

Thank GOD she's gone. Most obnoxious contestant on any reality show EVER!

As for Dave, Ramsay should send him home, but give him a job once his arm is healed.

[chumpy]

Why are you watching this when Top Chef is on with people who can really cook? Mostly at least

[luckie1710]

Why are you watching this when Top Chef is on with people who can really cook? Mostly at least

Can't you watch both? It's not like they are both on at the same time. Plus HK is more entertaining then Top Chef. WHich is pretty much because of Ramsey.

By the way. Why not watch the next Iron Chef instead of either of them then. lol

[Mother Shucker]

Why are you watching this when Top Chef is on with people who can really cook? Mostly at least
Because Top Chef is a snooze fest and Hell's Kitchen is entertaining. Any other questions?

[BullsLawDan]

Why are you watching this when Top Chef is on with people who can really cook? Mostly at least

If i want to watch people who can really cook I'll go to a decent restaurant.

I want to be entertained.

[Reaper G]

Why are you watching this when Top Chef is on with people who can really cook? Mostly at least

HK is more of a guilty pleasure. There's certainly entertainment value in watching a short-fused perfectionist yelling at a bunch of morons. TC really is a better show, though. It's more about cooking skill than scheming, the drama is real and natural instead of forced and over the top, and the cooks get to show their own talent than doing what somebody else tells them. There's a certain embarassment factor to "Hell's Kitchen" that "Top Chef" doesn't have.

[grail]

Season finale tonight. Guilty pleasure indeed. I watch Ramsey to see him berate. I watch Top Chef, ICA, and NIC for the skills. Still wish they would put Ramsey's F-word on regular TV, just to show it's not always about him screaming and people really can do something awesome if they just listen to him.

[Mother Shucker]

The two best made it to the finals.

[Farside]

Thank fucking God they didn't waste time decorating each finalist's half of the restaurant.... what a fucking snooze that always was.
I'm glad Dave won. That other guy annoyed me.

[F'in Ponderous]

Tough week for Boston. Red Sox eliminated. Patriots lose to Denver. Kevin loses to Dave in the H.K. finale.

[UCJOE]

I never saw an episode until tonight but the damn show drew me in and I liked it
Seemed like it had less fake BS then other reality shows

[Biff Hardslab]

Anyone else notice that loudmouthed negress Tenille wasn't brought back to cook for the finale? She was 4th place, she should have been there.

[Falldog]

She an't nobody's bitch.

Found this. I guess if they mean "Busboy" when they say "winner is the head chef at Araxi" then they're not really exaggerating.

'Hell's Kitchen' Claims about Araxi a Tad Overdone

Cooking show says winner gets to be 'head chef' at a top Whistler restaurant. Actually, no.

By Steve Burgess, 13 Oct 2009, TheTyee.ca .

A famous restaurant might throw a party to announce the arrival of a new top chef. There's no party for the hiring of a new busboy. Tuesday night in Whistler, Araxi is throwing a big party to celebrate an event that falls somewhere in the middle. Araxi will be crowded with folks eager to see who comes out on top after the two-hour finale of Hell's Kitchen, the Fox-TV reality series (airing locally on City TV). Three contestants are left. The winner, we have been told, gets the position of Head Chef at Araxi. That sounds exciting. But would big audiences watch a 13-week audition for a line cook supervisor?

Hell's Kitchen is hosted by Gordon Ramsey, the celebrity chef and human aneurysm who has been entertaining Fox TV audiences for years with his particular brand of staff abuse. Every year he scythes through stands of culinary hopefuls to find one chef who can take the heat. This is the sixth season for the American version of the show, based on an earlier U.K. version. Past prizes have included top positions in Ramsey's restaurants, or places such as Green Valley Ranch Resort's Terra Verde restaurant in Las Vegas. This year it's head chef at Araxi. Quite an honour, considering the many awards Araxi has been winning under executive chef James Walt.

Ah yes, James Walt -- who still works at Araxi. And will continue to do so. So won't it be rather awkward for poor James to toil under the direction of some youngster whose recent work experience mostly involves trying not to flinch when struck by Chef Ramsey's spittle?

"The Hell's Kitchen winner won't be running the kitchen," Walt said while signing copies of his new Araxi cookbook at a recent launch. "I run the kitchen."

So then -- will the winner be second in command? Third?

Walt pondered a moment. "Maybe fourth," he said.

'Top Chef', this isn't

Fourth? It doesn't exactly give good promo. In this case, "head chef" may be the semantic equivalent of being a Starbucks "partner," a.k.a. employee.

A job at Araxi is a great gig. Depending on the structure of the kitchen staff, fourth in line could certainly be a position of some responsibility. It probably gives the winner seniority over the line cooks. And Araxi's own press releases have made it clear that the Hell's Kitchen winner would be working under the direction of Walt. Which makes sense. But sensible scenarios don't make good TV. No one ever said Fox was in the documentary business.

Among reality TV chef contests, Hell's Kitchen is probably not the gourmet's choice. That would be Top Chef, airing in Canada on Slice and featuring some contestants who actually boast Michelin stars. By contrast, Hell's Kitchen contestants often seem to have been selected for their suitability as cannon fodder. While Top Chef is more about food, Hell's Kitchen is about watching people suffer. (A call for contestants recently appeared on the Manhattan Craigslist).

But Walt met the contestants and observed them under pressure during filming. He came away impressed. "It was very tough," he said. "These were talented and skilled people. I couldn't have survived it -- I would have been eliminated right away."

The story of Araxi's involvement with Hell’s Kitchen suggests that reality TV may be a rather incestuous little world. Apparently it started when a producer for perennial Emmy winner The Amazing Race had dinner at Araxi and then raved about it to the Hell's Kitchen team back in L.A.

Those two shows occupy different galaxies in the reality TV universe. Shows like Amazing Race promise straight cash prizes, while your Hell's Kitchens and Apprentices promise real-world success. The latter are far more problematic. Cash is cash -- let the competition begin and the winner/winners receive the cheque. But no reality TV show can truly promise career success as a prize.

Where are the winners now?

A July 3, 2007 New York Post story reported that winners of the first two seasons of Hell's Kitchen failed to occupy the promised positions, for reasons that may have been professional or personal. On the other hand, Danny Veltri, last season's winner, is indeed working as advertised at Fornelletto in Atlantic City, a sous chef under Stephen Kalt.

Big promises notwithstanding, the last chef standing after the Tuesday night finale will get a good job in a fine kitchen. But will the winner be surprised at the true nature of the prize? A spokesperson for the Top Table restaurant group says not. The winning candidate (already known to Araxi management) is reported to be well-aware of the true nature of the job and "very excited about the opportunity to work under James Walt."

Whether Hell's Kitchen viewers would be equally excited by that outcome is another question. But after 13 episodes of dealing with Gordon Ramsey, even washing glasses for James Walt would probably be blis
