Hell's kitchen

Talked to my head chef in work today and he told me that Marcos book white something or other is worth a fortune now. Looked on ebay and my god it is going for way over £100:eek:

I'm sorry, but Marco's on a pisstake here, this is a real take the money and run job. To me he looks like he doesn't give a monkeys - making a big deal about using stock cubes, sitting on a workbench (!) idly gazing around, casually informing his celebrity crew how to disguise burnt or bad food. Bah, this isn't the MPW every chef I know used to idolise.
The first Hells Kitchen was great because Ramsey cared way too much, and simply would not allow standards to slip. The friction made great tv. Watch his non-celeb US Hells Kitchen with people who are desperate to succeed- that's how you do this show.
On the plus side the customer being told to get lost was good, and I enjoyed his "who's the beast?" aside about Carole Thatcher.
Lee Ryan's walked btw. I might do an *oddsflash!* in a minute. :D

I wondered about the sitting on the worktop bit too tbh, and the stock cube :D I could hear Ramsey in my head laughing :D
 
He ain't taking it as serious as GR and thats for certain. Stock cube.

Next week he teaches them which tinned baked beans are best.
 
The fuck?

He's another arrogant wanker chef. Why people don't stand up to these pretentious tossers I will never know.

Kudos to that Lee guy for calling Jim Davidson a twat and for walking out. Fucking whole thing is a joke. All the punters kissing Marcos arse. Cunts.

And as for Fearne Cotton and Holly Willoughby; about as entertaining as watching chutney decay.

Er because they don't want to be thrown off the show. Its hardly rocket science.

The longer you are on the show the more the public see of you and the more popular you become thereby reviving your sad flagging career.

Leave early and hardly anyone remembers you. They only remember those in the last weeks. Even if you storm off in dramatic fashion.
If you have to storm off do it in the final weeks. But then you might as well hang around and find out if you've won or not if you've gone that far.

These poor hasbeens are prepared to put up with a lot for the buzz of being famous again and everyone treating them like royalty.
 
Angus is getting worse. Was him saying extend the life of brain an attempt at wit? Time to retire dude.

The more I watch it the more I actually agree with these poste. The guy is seeming more and more like a wanker. Hiding crap food and being generally and ego maniac. He's a rude twat that can't acnowledge with grace when he is wrong.

When he was saying "what's wrong with being a pikey?" I was just hoping that the conversation would go a bit like:

"I'ts a derogotary term for a traveller."
"so what wrong with being a pikey?"
"I dunno marco, what's wrong with being a nigger?".

His point would have been made clerer and that twat marco would have probably skulked off with his tail between his legs.... or more likely thrown a hissy fit.

What an absoloule grab the money and run tosser. He's lucky he doens't have a reputation to uphold. With the Ego he has now, he can act like a tosser and people would stop going to his restaurants. he has no restaurants so what is this point in tryin to uphold any "reputation" he has.

Utter wanker.... but we shall see.

When I first started watching it I thouht he was trying to bring down the celebrities a peg or two so they realise that they are not as important in the kitchen... however now I think he just has an ego problem.

When Marco asked him to define the term he should have asked Marco to define it first seeing as he was using the term he should at least know what it means
 
I thought Lee came out of that exchange pretty well, he put his point across and I think Marco was a bit taken aback and didn't really know what to do so resorted to threats about how lee should 'be careful' - ooooooh scary:rolleyes:

Where as i think Gordon Ramsey would have said "Fair enough, I won't say it again, now fuck off sensitive girly boy".
 
"As likely as Argentina beating France in the rugby" nicely, Angus :D

The 'fucking off now' door is that ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> way :)

Take Jim Davidson with you, there's a chap :)
 
So Marco's first recipe of the day included:

Heinz Tomato Sauce
Lee n Perrins Worstershire Sauce
Tabasco red pepper sauce

Is he going to make something tommorrow using a tin of alphabet spagetti for the base?

Top chefs watching must be clasping their heads in dispair.
 
Is Jim is scared of doing a Jude Goodie or is he just on the wind up to draw attention to himself?

When are Jim and Marco going to snog? Its sickening how much they suck each other off. We couldn't have done it without Jim etc. etc. We need you jim. Do they hell! They'd manage. The show must go on etc.
 
jesus I'm going off MPW pretty rapidly, esp with his chummying up with Jim :(

bring back Ramsey
 
anyone got any tips on where to download the episodes? I'm in OZ so not on telly............personallly give me Ramsey any day - has anybody seen MPW in boiling point - he comes across as the biggest wierdo cock ever.....if he's from a council estate how come he sounds like Prince Charles on a bad day? obvious from the 3 michelin stars he has cooking ability but as a person he strikes me as dog turd.

Right or wrong he'll lead you by the hand because fingers are for burning.

Which leads me to my next point... why can't they afford pans with plastic or wooden handles? Why buy pans that they have to use cloths to carry them with all the time?

Is this a deliberate move to engineer some celebrity burns or is there something about resturant kitchens I don't know that excludes the use of safe handles?

It's because alot of the time in kitchens the pan which you are cooking in also goes into the oven after meat has been "sealed".

Therefore if there were wooden or plastic handles they would burn to a crisp or melt in the oven.

And it's cheaper to buy pots and pans like this in bulk.

Ah thank you for enlightening me. That makes sense.
 
i was a bit drunk watching it yesterday and the sound was down low cos my mates were on the decks - what happpened?
 
If you want to find a man who you thought was a bit sexy and it's inconvenient (like a t work or something) just imagine him laughing at Jim Davidon's jokes and thinking Maggie Thatcher was an "amazing women".

Instant turn off guaranteed.
