Hell's Kitchen Season 4 (1 Viewer)

Since it was me that derailed this topic, I guess I should chime in.

When I talked about "real" food, I was thinking about food that is filling, satisfying and at a reasonable price. I wasn't really taking about "real" as in not fake. Although the food in the picture I posted is fake in my eyes. That food in the picture was more about art and show, than about consumption.

I guess I am just not into the fancy stuff. Plus, I simply can't see spending more than $20 for a meal. I bet there is nothing under $20 at any of Ramsay's restaurants.

Having said all this, I will admit that Gordan Ramsay is probably one of the few big time chefs that I think understands that food is more than show. I watch him on Kitchen Nightmares (English version) and he does seem to actually like foods closer to what I would actually like.

Also, from the plates we've seen on the show, it seems to me that the portion sizes of the dishes are actually pretty hefty. The risotto in particular looks quite filling, as does the beef wellington (if you can manage to get one that isn't burnt

).

LOL--you'd probably have a better chance of getting one that isn't burnt than you would a crab cake cooked by a particular Season Three chef who happens to share the same first name as yours.

Sorry--couldn't help myself...
