This show is unbelievable. Even though it is a show about cooking it is not boring at all. Basically it is your one in a dozen beat the competition to become <country name> next top <profession>. In this case it is America’s next top Chef. The only thing which set this show apart from other shows is the foul mouthed, pissed of, angry Gordon Ramsey. The recipe for Hell Kitchen is simple:

1. Dice up 16 B-Rated Chef Cooks
2. Sprinkle with Useless challenges
3. Roast with Busy and hectic opening nights
4. To finish it off add One pissed off Gordon Ramsey

Believe it or not, I don’t watch to many TV shows these days. I have better things to do like being bored online and playing video games. However the sheer rage in this series is just awesome. Gordon will get in peoples faces and yell at them, often for no good reason at all. When things go wrong, often because of Gordon pressuring the life out of people, you see his face get red and he just start dishing out insults.

Chef Ramsay: It’s like I need a detective in here. Where’s the chicken?
Sabrina: Where’s the chicken? I don’t know. Maybe….

One of my favorite moments is when Gordon gets pissed of at a Cook who has a cooking school. He just yells the best insults at her. So far she has remained calm, though I can imagine her getting out a steak knife. Also lots of the other Cooks have superiority complexes. When a team loses a contest they have to vote someone away. Laughs will be had when you see all these narcissist acting shocked when some team mate tells them they suck.

Because I am a brilliant if have created a even better formula for Hell’s Kitchen II. It will be quite similar except you add some of the “thugs” from MTV’s Gs to Gents. Everyone will lose because they laugh. Imagine some crazy gangster being all drunk and possibly high on crack getting yelled at by Gordon. Pain is guaranteed.

Would I suggest you see Hell’s Kitchen? Yes I would, its just great to see how much abuse people take voluntarily. I cant imagine getting yelled at for a couple of minutes and replying “Yes Chef!” or “Sorry Chef”. I am not sure what they can win, though I am sure it is not just a plain monetary prize. Would u recommend downloading the whole series? No, it is probally just funny for a couple of episodes and then it will get sad. I mean throwing plates against the wall and making remarks about someone’s weight does get repetitive.

If I had one chance to help Gordon out I would take it. Even though I have no cooking experience (not on any sort of professional level anyway) I would just dish out the hurt by throwing shit on the floor, yelling at people, making them do pointless stuff, and generally being mini-Gordon. I would love for Gordon to add the following competition:

• Dance like monkeys on glas or something hot and see how many bananas they can peel.
