I didn't watch Hell's Kitchen, but I would have wanted to, and I missed the first series of this really good cooking documentary show. Gordon Ramsay presents a programme of challenges, skills, recipes, celebrities and wannabe chefs. Every week Ramsay gets new non-skilled chefs to create starters, mains and desserts for 50 customers, and they have to prove themselves as worthy chefs with 150 custom more
I didn't watch Hell's Kitchen, but I would have wanted to, and I missed the first series of this really good cooking documentary show. Gordon Ramsay presents a programme of challenges, skills, recipes, celebrities and wannabe chefs. Every week Ramsay gets new non-skilled chefs to create starters, mains and desserts for 50 customers, and they have to prove themselves as worthy chefs with 150 customers paying. Also, Ramsay brings in a celebrity in the kitchen to try and beat him at making a delicious meal for some judging customers. There are many episodes with Janet Street-Porter exploring the choices of alternative (and possibly controversial) foods, other guests, in the restaurant, discovering recipes, and going against Gordon in the recipe challenge, have included Giles Coren, Martine McCutcheon, Al Murray, Joan Collins, Les Dennis, Jonathan Ross, Kim Woodburn and Aggie MacKenzie, Richard Wilson, Jimmy Carr, Davina McCall, Colin Jackson, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Sharon Osbourne, Kathy Burke, Dermot O'Leary, Jeremy Clarkson, Ronnie Corbett, Cat Deeley, Ricky Gervais, Johnny Vegas, and Gordon's wife and kids. It is remarkable how much Ramsay uses "the f word"/swears, but also how funny it can be, especially when he does it to the French guy at the restaurant. Gordon Ramsay was number 84 on The 100 Greatest Sex Symbols, and he was number 82 on The 100 Worst Britons (for his arrogance I guess). Very good!
