Hell's Kitchen and Top Chef?

**KYS** · 01-30-2009, 06:05 PM

I wasn't planing on watching the show, but I agree once I got
started it became quite entertaining.
I felt a little bad for the woman who teaches other chefs, yet has
never been a chef herself. Than their was that one woman during
the dinner time who walked out and than came back in.
Talk about an attitude!
Chef Ramsey is scary.

I wanted to slap the gal that was throwing up last night on HK.

That was so over the top that I could not believe it. I have eaten some stuff that most people would never have tried-the best?

Turtle-oh my, that taste has haunted me for years, it was sooo good!

The Mexicans use pretty much everything for tacos or a good burrito.
Brains, cheeks, tongue, the animal head, -I won't do eyes though....that is where I draw the line! We also use the innards that get bypassed by most 'cultures'.

I have been wanting a good head cheese sandwich for a while too!

This gal was not what I would call an "adventerous chef" - sometimes you have to get out of your comfort zone and get iinto it.

The part that made me really angry with that twit was she didn't have the courtesy to go out of the room and wretch with any class-she had to do it in front of the rest of the group - what a moron.

Sadly, sometimes I have that kind of reaction as the result of a food allergy. And, Richard, sometimes you cannot control it long enough to get to another room - who knows how far away the dining room was from the restroom. At least she got away from the table several times. And grabbed a trash can. I know when my stomach is spasming to expel everything, those teensy little barf bags are not gonna be adequate.

You know Richard i used to be a big fan of Gordon,however they have over done it down here, with Gordons kitchen nightmares in USA, which i like best, Hells Kitchen and another i cannot remember the name of, you can only take so much of Gordon.

Although he is tough and needs to be most of the time, i am finding his trashy mouth and insults just a bit too much to watch now, he frankly bores me, pity as i really used to enjoy watching him so much.

**Pinot's Mom** · 02-20-2009, 01:28 PM

Bingo! The mouth really does it as far as I'm concerned. I can't watch him with every other word bleeped. It's insulting to the viewer. Otherwise, I might enjoy him!

Top Chef - GO CARLA!

**carole** · 02-20-2009, 01:36 PM

They don't bleep out his swearing here, you hear it all,lol, the Fword was the other show he did, we had like all the shows on together, and it just gets too much.

Gotcha!

I have friends that work for the studios and they told me that the contestants ffor some are asked about their health and some shows do a med screening fon the contestants.

There has been a real critical eye put on that area ever since a guy on the TV show, Dog Eat Dog, died. He drowned on the set doing a stunt and the program was cancelled soon afterwards. There are tons of waivers and other stuff you HAVE to sign before you can participate.

I can't imagine hearing him any worse than we do here.

I'm with you, Carole. I'm certainly no prude but his constant berating is more than I can take. It's like being in an abusive relationship.

I've wondered for a long time why he doesn't have a heart attack.

I saw an advertisement yesterday for a new show. "The Chopping Block". It looks good. I think it starts March 11th.

**carole** · 02-20-2009, 07:26 PM

Yep i am no prude either, but after a while it just becomes boring listening to him rant and rave,honestly the thing i notice about him, is how lined his face is, i cannot believe he is younger than me,by quite a bit too, and with all his money i am surprised he has not opted out for a face lift, i have to wonder what on earth could make someone so lined, maybe it is the stress in his life, but with all his swearing you would think he gets it out of his system.

I don't hate the guy, and i still tune in for Ramsays kitchen nightmares,so i am not off him completely, but i reckon he should tone it down just a tad,would make better viewing IMO.

**Daisy and Delilah** · 02-20-2009, 08:27 PM

I have noticed his face too. He is really looking pretty rough. The stress he has and anger problems are no doubt killing him. I hope he realizes this.

Even if it's only for the show, it's too hard on him.

**RICHARD** · 03-23-2009, 03:25 PM

Did anyone notice last week's show when Lacey "plucked the wedgie" in the kitchen?

That made me scream and groan.

That is the fastest way to get people sick. When I worked for the operating room there was a rash of infected wound cases in the suites.

THey tracked it back to an doctor who wore no undies and would do the same thing, work a wedgie out, then touch the patient.

I still cannot believe they showed her do that!

I'm speechless.

HC, New Season starts tonight 7/21!!!!!!!

**RICHARD** · 07-22-2009, 12:03 AM

Dude,

I said that some one is going to get hurt on one these programs-I know that they go thru a psych eval before they go on the show....but, can the shrinks really predict what these people are going to do when GR confronts them?

I like the program, but the people that are picked as contestants are really way too competitive.

**Pinot's Mom** · 07-22-2009, 09:07 AM

HK last night? I don't think these people have seen the inside of a kitchen before! I didn't watch till the very end, but you've got one that can't section a grapefruit, one that can't tell a scallop is still swimming, and one that talks like he took too many quaaludes (I think that's how you spell that, it's been a while since I've used it as a reference). I don't know everyone's name yet. Then there was the one who evidently picked a fight with Gordon (smart boy, that one)-I didn't see the fight. I shut it off before then.

Aren't they supposed to cook?
