Hell's Kitchen

This is my new favorite TV show. At first I hated it because of the main character, Chef Gordon Ramsay is EVIL!!!!! If you think American Idol's Simon Cowell is a bad-ass-potty-mouth-british dude...Chef Ramsay is 100000000 X worse than Simon!!!

In 'Hell's Kitchen,' Chef Ramsay has to select 1 out of 10 chefs to be the owner of one of his restaurants in Las Vegas. Each episode, the contestants cook in Hell's Kitchen to cater to 100 restaurant guests. So imagine trying to cook as fast as possible, trying to please Chef Ramsay's standard while getting yelled at and be called "stupid fat cow", and having a plate of pasta thrown at you...not fun. I swear everytime I watch this show, my heart beats so fast and I would get so angry and yell at the TV and cuss just for the hell of it. It's darn exciting!!!!


Now that I think about it, I finally get why Chef Ramsay is so mean. Working in a restaurant is all about pressure. Timing is the key. You just can't afford to mess up. Plus... customers, especially hungry ones, are so picky anddd demanding. I understand the whole restaurant process, especially now that I'm a server. I'd get yelled at by customers, even though it's not necessarily my fault, if the food is not right or takes a long time to come out. Imagine cooking an entree in 2 minutes. Chopping, grilling, sauteeing. Fast fast fast. Pressure pressure pressure.

Just like they say,

"If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen !!!"
