Hell's Kitchen

joz123 · 07-06-2007, 09:56 AM

I didn't see a thread on it. One of my fav shows just because I love watching Gordon Ramsey yell at people, especially when that fat asian cowboy was still on the show.

Hey look! another show with a british guy yelling at americans!!!

he's like simon cowel in an apron (thats not a good thing)

This is actually the only "reality"ish show that I watch.

I really have a fascination with restaurant kitchens and cooking though, is probably the only reason.

Did they get worse contestants this year? Cause I don't think a single one of them can cook a wellington. (I certainly can't, but I don't claim to be a chef, either.)

If you like cooking shows, Top Chef is far superior.

Bladefury · 07-06-2007, 10:58 AM

Definitely. Plus it's like... the only thing they ever show on the BRAVO channel, here.

Still, Hell's Kitchen is amusing.

90% of fans are there for the drama, not the cooking.

I watch all 3 of the cooking reality shows(Food Network star one, Top Chef and Hell's Kitchen), but Hell's Kitchen is by far the funniest.

Hell's Kitchen is funny, but I have to agree that overall Top Chef is the superior show.

As an amusing aside, they interviewed Chef Tom Colicchio in a recent TV guide and he said that he didn't care for Gordon Ramsey or Hell's Kitchen because he doesn't believe in yelling at chefs who are trying to learn.

Has anyone ever seen any of Gordon Ramsey's British shows? Apparently he's a very nice guy on them and only "turns it on" so to speak for the American audience, who expect Brits to be angry all the time.

Have you ever seen Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmare?

He can tear into some of those people a bit worse than he does to the people on Hell Kitchen. On the F word, he's subdued a lot. But I suppose that's because he's worked with most of the people in his kitchen save the couple hes trying out, and it's more of a lighter food show.

Original Iron Chef is still my fav cooking show of all time tho.

Hells Kitchen is awesome if only for the fact that if you've ever worked in a higher end restaurant then you know that a vast majority of chefs are fucking insane, and they all curse like sailors. So, it's great to see that happen to people that aren't you.

It has been a few years since I cooked "professionally" but I will admit Hell's Kitchen is a guilty pleasure.

Overall the funniest parts are the dishes. Pea risotto? Come on I can get a 5 year old to cook that. Wellingtons? That is filet mignon in puff pastry (again a brainless dish).

The simple fact that most of the cooks can't even cook the simplest of dishes (pasta anyone) makes it hilarious.

So, as other people have said. If you want "real" cooking watch Top Chef. If you want laughs, watch Hell's Kitchen. If you want to see Rory's impressive rack, watch Food Network.
