Cooking Shows?

[aguynamedrobert]

Hey Everybody,
Is anyone watching the Season Premier of ****'s Kitchen tonight? I'm hoping this season turns out good...A lot of times these shows just go for drama so I am hoping this season has some good chefs with good attitutes...

Anyone else watching?

 

[Katie H]

Robert, unfortunately the "system" censored the title of the show of which you speak. Is there another way you can enlighten me of its name?

 

[mudbug]

Heck's Kitchen, Katie. With Gordon Ramsay, a chef who has, to say the least, a "colorful" vocabulary.

 

[Katie H]

Thanks, muddy, for the clarification. I'm familiar with Gordon.

h*e*l*l's kitchen

 

[aguynamedrobert]

Sorry about that...I didn't know it censored that out...

Undecided

I watched of all of last seasons episodes of that show. Not sure if I'll tune in this season or not. Sometimes it seems more about verbal abuse than cooking. I guess I'll watch the first one tonight and decide from there.

I see there's another battle of for the next FoodTV show starting. Will skip that for sure.

I do look forward to the upcoming Top Chef season.

I used to semi enjoy it but now i just can't stand Gordon. all he ever gives is destructive comments, it's rare that he hands out a constructive one. not the type of personality that i like at all!

I'm completely with you on that one skilletlicker, Top Chef is da bomb!

having been a professional chef for over 30 years i find his behaviour intolerable

i worked for men like him
i also found my first stint as a head chef was a bit like him but it was a diacotomy
my nature is more nuturing and hands on
but all the chefs that were my mentors were absolute brutes

He11's Kitchen seems to get all the hot women chefs. I think Top Chef has to settle for Ramsey's rejects!

lol
just turn on rachel ray or nigella lawson or christine cushing and turn down the volume

It seems to me the contestants are very much under qualified in the first place so they dont stand much of a chance in the first place.Giving Ramsey alot to raise you know what.Didnt one of the shows have like a pizza maker and so forth?They dont stand a chance he should have more experienced people like the ones on Top Chef.Now that would be a reality show.And yet I plan to watch tonight.

abusive name-calling is unacceptable any time so i'm with you there, but i wonder if the producers of heck's kitchen want to play it up. ramsey seems to be a decent guy on ramsey's kitchen nightmares. when he gives people **** they usually at least deserve it imo & the rest of the time he seems to be pretty civil.

Absolutely, obiwan. This is appropriate no matter what business we're in.

 

[obiwan9962]

not at all
i keep the volume up with giada
her voice curls my toes
(in a good way)

I looked at the head shots of this seasons He11's Kitchen women on their web site and they look attractive enough, but I can't remember a single one from last year. Elia Aboumrad from last seasons Top Chef did make an impression however.
