Hell's Kitchen and Top Chef?

[RICHARD]

I haven't seen TC Masters lately - I seem to have been otherwise occupied whenever that's on.

HK - last night - yeah, I watched that train wreck! My goodness, they were cooking STEAKS, and it was amateur hour!! I'll go back to something I said earlier - these people think they can run a RESTAURANT?!!

There is a new episode of TC tonight.

I think it's the episode where MC gets into it with the sous chef.

I like the premise of the show. I am rooting for Rick Bayless, he's really a good guy and I love his cooking shows.

OK - I caught up with TC Masters last night, it seems I hadn't missed an episode at all, don't know why I thought I had...

Yes, I agree with you, I'd like to see Rick Bayless win. There was a little too much drama queen action with Dale in Michael's face last night; this show hasn't been about that, that's for Hell's Kitchen . The chefs on this segment are real professionals and it's so refreshing NOT to see that. That's why it's only on occasion I even watch Hell's Kitchen.

The new TC opens tonight.

Can I make a prediction? THey touted tonights premiere with 17 chefs at the start.

I think there is a pair of brothers that are on the show-Does anyone remember the NY show where they eliminated one chef right off the bat?
If you remember, the last two before the elimination were friends.

Do you think that somehow the bros will be pit against each other on the first challenge, just to see who stays?

That was the first thing that popped into my mind!

[RICHARD]

I was wrong about the brothers.

Why are the rest of the chefs a bunch of effing kooks?

What a bunch of robots. They have no personalityand are blander than plain you=gurt. ugh..

I doubt that the chefs have "no personality" just that they aren't featured enough - too many to 'show off' traits for each one at this point.

And, of course, the chefs that were bemoaning the inability of same-sex marriages, - quit complaining, you can move here where it's legal!

[Pinot's Mom]

It's early - they'll develop personalities as time goes on...it was on last night, wasn't it? I'll see it next week; I was out last night, they'll replay it (Top Chef).

The complaining was one reason that I tuned 'out' for this episode. The other thing was the insufferable challenge of matching a drink to the food being prepared. The whole episode wore me out and I didn't even see who left.

Hell's Kitchen!

I finally put this niggling question to bed.

Who are the people that eat at Hell's Kitchen.
