Everyone should choose places where they feel comfortable and eat what they want and like. But places that serve food one does not care for, or that is served in a style that one does not like, does not mean that the food is not real. Real (at least for me) does not refer to portion size...
The chefs I know wash their hands—and are far, far more concerned about hygiene and food than non-professionals. Touching food (such as a steak) in order to determine if it is cooked to the degree the customer requested (e.g. medium-rare) is commen—and expected. Just a question Scott—as your...
:Good point Jay, although it actually would make sense, as chef means boss or chief in English. So chef cook would mean head cook. This is why the line cooks respond “Yes Chef!” to orders. Same as Yes, Boss.
One never knows all that went on, but according to the editing, Petrozza’s (single) mistake was that he did not catch the lack of peas in the risotto. And on the plus side he did bring order back to the kitchen after the fish station disaster. And no screw-ups while cooking. Corey appeared to...
Jen is now zero for three on her nominations intended to get rid of her competition. Ramsey gave her a pretty skeptical look as she continued to claim that her nomination was the weakest cook on the team.
Of course in this episode, Ben was guilty of premature celebration. Otherwise in a previous episode he did a poor job of cooking salmon (he got it wrong even after he had been corrected by Gordon).
Probably the Louross’s low profile was an editing choice. True enough he only had a small amount of camera time, but he was outspoken when they chose to show him. With three guys up for exiting on the men’s side, plus the Corey/Jen stuff on the women’s, there is not a lot of time left for those...
He has done that before—I think in the very first US Hell’s Kitchen a very weak performance was not nominated and Gordon picked him out anyway. On this show, the nominations are only a device to sow discord among the contestants. And when someone nominates two who Gordon does not think are the...
I don’t think that I’d presume to give anyone north of Hadrian’s Wall an history lesson, but Scotland has been a part of Great Britain since the 1707 Act of Union (Wales joined with England a couple of hundred years earlier—I think that the exact date that everything was formalized spans another...
