I've been watching old Hell's kitchen episodes.

Where do they get these idiots?

Usually 6-8 or so are too dumb or too mental to function in a kitchen or anywhere else for that matter. How can anyone mess up scallops as often as they do?

Why should you stay in Hell's kitchen? Well I have the passion, the drive, and the determination. I'm a great leader. I'm an asset to my team. And I want this more than the other guy. Everyone always says the same thing.
Dude your signature initial dish got a 1. You gave Gordon Ramsay canned pineapple. You couldn't even cook a dang scallop to save your life. And you're going to blow smoke up Ramsay's rump about drive, determination, and how you want it more than the people that didn't mess up? Just turn in your apron before he asks for it, say I know I totally messed up big time.

My favorite excuse. Well Tim didn't come over to help me. Uh hello? You need help cooking a scallop? That's all you had to do. You couldn't do it and got yourself kicked out of the kitchen. And you think you crashed and burned because Tim didn't hold your hand?

I also like when they nominate someone out of spite or try to keep someone around by not nominating them because they like em and Gordon sniffs em out and takes out someone not nominated. HAHAHA!!! Well so much for that plan Slick!!!

This is what I'd say if I were one of the first two up for elimination.
I can blow smoke up your rear end about drive, determination and leadership. But the proof is in tasting the pudding. And I've given you a signature dish and a service where my Vanilla pudding tasted like dog pee. I've given you nothing to keep me to be honest. My only hope is you'll think the guy standing next to me committed worse errors and I get another chance. The only difference between he and I is he thinks he's done well and doesn't deserve to be standing next to me and I know we both sucked. So pick me to stay for not being delusional about my performance.

They intentionally cast people that have no idea what they are doing.

That's why the "Prize" is really just the $250K - not a serious position in one of his restaurants.

Everybody knows before you go on Hells Kitchen you need to know how to make perfect scallops, beef Wellington, and risotto! Otherwise you'll just be a giant donkey!

Also the people who screw up garnish. GARNISH!?! It's vegetables come on.

You would be amazed at how some people think they can cook anything. When I was in Head Chef position at a pretty nice restaurant I had to hire line cooks. 98% of the time what they had to cook to prove they could cook was inedible. And then of course the excuses start .

I figured the position was in name only. I remember one of em failed a drug test and couldn't assume the position. They wrote her a check. I've only seen one champ so far that I thought genuinely ready for anything other than an in name only position. The reality is the show is mostly line cooking. Just one episode has them working the counter though. But a lot of the winning chefs that win do say that they get something out of it. And some have gone on to fairly big things.

Give your son a detailed spread sheet of chores. . .that should stop him from criticizing your 'Ramsay' fun!!

Make him do losing team punishments. Get out to the dumpster and separate the garbage from the recycling. I'd be like Gordon why don't we have separate bins to begin with?

 

[King Schultz]

"Ahhhhhh. . . . (bleep) me!!!" is one of the best expressions, ever.


I've incorporated into my daily life, and saying it makes me so happy.

You've got that exactly right. If you're even not sure just read their job description when they do their testimonials. It will say something like "Executive Chef - taqueria ". Um...ok then....lol. Or "culinary student"

Yes, I think most if not all reality shows are scripted. I used to watch this show but quickly got tired of Ramsey screaming profanities and demeaning all the contestants. For someone who's a world class chef, he's doesn't act very professional.

In real life, I can't imagine anyone tolerating the verbal abuse on a daily basis; I'd consider it a hostile work environment. I once worked in a restaurant and even though it could be stressful at times, it was nothing like that. Of course it's all an act on Ramsey's part; if you watch the kid's version of Master Chef, you see his softer side.

Marco Pierre White trained Gordon Ramsay. Look him up and you'll see where the attitude comes from. Actually there are a number of world-class chefs who have attitudes like that and worse, though some, like Eric Ripert, are mellowing as they age .
