Not a fan of much "reality" TV, but I love Gordon Ramsay. I'm three for three picking the winner at the by the end of the second episode, I'm hoping to continue my streak.
My only problem is the way Faux edits Gordon to seem like even more of a douchebag than he really is.
The American version was better than I expected but seemed to be based on conflict (Imagine that coming from the U.S. and FOX)
The BBC version is a lot nicer.
I've worked in kitchens like that but not as harsh.......On the flip side and not totally related. The wife and I just got back from a weekend at The Inn At Little Washington..( http://www.theinnatlittlewashington.com/ ).All I can say is WOW. Any of you foodies and almost foodies this is a BUCKET LIST ITEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get my point. You will be spending some of your kids collage tuition.
THE FOOD WAS AMAZING, THE SERVICE WAS IMPECCABLE.My word's cannot full convey the greatness that emanates from this place. Patrick O'Connell is truly the most amazing Chef I have met, and I have met them all.

JPhillip said it, therefor it is, Chef= C=Caring, H=Helpful, E=Excellent, F=Fubar.
I love Ramsay. After watching alot of the BBC stuff he does, my opinion of him (per the american version of the show) really changed. He is actually pretty brilliant business wise. He knows his stuff, and refuses to put up with crap. Personally, I respect him but could never work with him. I would end up popping him in the mouth and throwing some chicken stock on him. BUT, I can't WAIT for the show to start.

I hoped I had working in kitchens. He gets you going and you put out excellent food, and the time flies by when you have 10 tickets in your face. That is my wife and my favorite show. Kitchen Nightmares rocks as well.
Did anyone see Bourdain fail when he went back to his old stomping ground? I like him but he's not a cook, just a a cool beer drinking, food slopping, cigarette smoking crazy american traveling the globe.
