Hell's Kitchen and Top Chef?

[RICHARD]

I like them both, though on Hell's Kitchen, they seem to be given the same things to cook a lot of the time. Why does he love scallops so much?

Oh, that's funny, I never noticed that.!
HE does seem to explode when the scallops go bad!

----------

One thing that grodies me out is when they refer to some food as protein.
I dunno why!

I can't WAIT for Hell's Kitchen tonight. I love gordon ramsey. I am reading his autobiography right now.

I'm very much looking forward to Hell's Kitchen starting tonight.
I've always watched it and can't imagine working for him. He is very articulate how he wants things done...I know he'd make me cry

Never watched Top Chef though.

[RICHARD]

Top Chef is pretty good. It's just like HK, but they go to different places to cook and serve.

This last episode made me wonder about the winners of the immunity challenges on TC.

Before the winners would get a nifty prize from the guest judges. Now the judges steal the winning recipes for their restaurants!

Karen.

Why were scallops such a huge part of the show tonight?

Karen.

Why were scallops such a huge part of the show tonight?

Because Gordon Ramsey is obsessed with them, apparently! Even in his Restaurant Nightmares show in Britain, it seems like every other "signature dish" he "develops" for a restaurant is scallops! And they are not hard to cook right, which always amazes me that people on the show manage to ruin them time after time! Duh - take 'em out of the pan when they're done?

And why is anyone who ever dines at Hell's Kitchen during production surprised when their food doesn't get there on time? Why? I mean, you've gotta know half the people go there for the chance to be seen on TV, not for the food anyway!

[RICHARD]

I don't know if they announced it at the beginning of the show......
They mentioned that you have to "know" someone to get a table.

I bet half of the patrons are the 'starving' SAG card holders that are hoping they are discovered acting like jerks.

I have noticed that they are getting more hostile towards the poor maitre' d.
People here in Lost Angeles are impatient and really get mouthy when they don't get what they want.

It's pretty embarassing.
