"Hell's Kitchen" ???....more like Hell's #1 idiot.

[RICHinNC]

I have always loved to cook and often thought what it would have been like if I had become a chef.....and never too old to give it a try.

But, all the "reality" shows I see on TV about cooking just take the joy right out of the process and turn it into something nasty.

I was watching "Hell's Kitchen" last night...double episode....and this supposedly fantastic, famous British chef was on ranting and raving and just being absolutely an idiot. He kept saying he couldnt understand how his kitchen and his hand picked staff were so bad. Go look in the mirror.

Here is another show that takes some idiot that acts like a major idiot and thinks it is entertaining. Plus, you can tell they dang carefully picked the participants.

I guess I will just stay in my little kitchen....no where near Hell....and enjoy cooking ... my way.

Gordon Ramsey may be an amazing chef, but I agree that the show is worthless.

Bravo's Top Chef is the only good reality show about cooking. They actually have qualified and talented people participating in good events.

I wonder if they screen the contestants to make sure no one has any backbone at all. I can't believe no one has gone after that jerk with a carving knife. First time he threw something at me, game on! Now that's must see TV! :mooner:

:lol:

watched it, not very entertaining for me, rather annoying, should have put in a DVD and watched a movie instead.

Show is more about drama than cooking. I could not handle more than 10 minutes. I got hungry and went out for a banana split!!!

Many kitchens can do that; somebody just decided to film one.

Cooking professionally is a very difficult. The stresses are very high when you are in the "weeds". In high end kitchens, you have to perform flawlessly time and time again and do so quickly. If you enjoy cooking for your family and friends continue to do so and don't do it as a profession... Been there and done that. Glad to cook just for people I care about now.
