Genius idea for a show, the execution is cute but not a long laster IMO. Too formulaic.

I watched the Irish pub one w/ the most dirty ass kitchen in the world when the old "sous chef" picked a wing up off the floor and put it right the fuck back into they fryer.

The part where I think its week is of course any restaurant will be instantly good if that famous chef redoes the entire menu!

The exposing of the horrid food prep and quality hooked me in, but the fast forward to the end stuff leaves me wanting. One minute you have wings off the floor, the next minute you have gourmet sheps pie... well how the fuck did he make it? Why was the other sheps pie so bad , besides being greasy and vomit inducing, was the meat actually past the sell date etc...

I want to see more bad kitchens exposed and less hugging and kissing

I think it's interesting to see an old cuss like Gordon Ramsey geezer about and make hell for people, but it's even more interesting to see how he motivates people. Gordon Ramsey is a rather charismatic leader despite having a foul streak, yes?

Wait until you see the episode shown here a few days ago:

Gordon has his work cut out as he takes on the Priory in Sussex, a carvery located in a beautiful former convent but whose head chef is content to preside over food-encrusted ovens and a disaffected staff. The aging clientele lap up the bargain roast dinners but the establishment is losing £5,000 a week, while the menu consists of recycled meat, soup in a bucket and synthetic sauces.

The part where he had the head chef in the confession booth atoning for his 'sins against cooking' to Gordon was priceless.

Seriously, Ramsay would be great on the PRF. He'd fit right in here. We should start a campaign to get him to sign-up.

Email sent. For real. Let's see if I get an answer.

I saw last nights show, yeah. Just wanted to say I love this fucking show, yes? I hope it comes back for another season, yeah?

Just a quick non-spoiler topic. Holy shit that kitchen was a mess.

"I'd like the garlic shrimp and strawberry salad please..."

Also by a "The Secret Garden"...



"This Norwegian/Celtic duo of Fionnula Sherry and Rolf Lovland reside in the gray area between Enya and Yanni"

Let's make it a rule that nothing ever be named "The Secret Garden" again.

go ahead and spoil the finale for me pls, i didnt watch any tv last night aside from 10 minutes of a bad smallville ep

Both the UK and US versions are really entertaining, but I've noticed that this show has really made me hate the 'bleep' noise every time Ramsey or anyone else says fuck or whatever. It's fingernails on a chalkboard every time that fucking 'bleep' goes off. Also on the Fox version, whenver he swears they also blur out his mouth so you can't see what he's saying. Good god. Couldn't they just mute the profanity? This belongs in the pet peeves thread - sorry.

I love this show. It makes me nervous about eating out, though. I bet the situations Ramsay encounters are pretty typical.

I have absoluety fallen into a deep obsession with the UK version.
