Gordon Ramsay - kitchen nightmares

[Cheffie]

The last in the series... time to go out and buy the book LOL

Well it was another goodie - this time it was focusing on a Golf Club restaurant, Moor something-or-other in Esher.

The Executive Chef :cue double duh: wasn't able to run a bath - let alone a kitchen! I guess he must have left after he saw the preview screening

I think the essence of the story was 'getting it right' and getting the Owners (from a 'drinks background') to see it as a restaurant with HUGE potential.

As ever Chef Ramsay camped it up in true fashion.. I'm intrigued as to whether the general public could actually see past all the 'french language ' in the kitchen and actually see it more from an insider's taste as to what happens behind the closed doors of a sacrosanct place for making food.

Thoroughly enjoyable series IMO..

Your thoughts and viewpoints?

So that they could open their eyes and see further than the bottle.. or change their glasses

A lot of Chefs I've been chatting with have commented on his apparent ease in front of the camera, giving advice etc. One can't help but be cynical and think - great, his new recipe book will fly off the shelves

I just wonder how many of his 'guests' on the programme will rush out to buy a copy...

True.

One normally learns how to crawl and walk before one learns how to run as well

I think its been educational for a lot of people as most people see a restaurant as a 'cash business' and easy to run/ operate.

As mentioned on the show.. at least 75% fail within the first 6months to 1year - a frightening statistic!

i missed the one on tuesday - so it was the last?

it would be interesting to see how well the rest'rants are doing some 6 months later

fair enuf - he knows his stuff and what it takes to make a good and successful rest'rant
he is arrogant and he knows best !
his language is harsh but i think necesary sometimes in that situation
it is a wonder how many rest'rants we go to with poor kitchens like some of those
and how many rest'rants lose money

i have only done a fair share of waiting tables when i was a student but i hated it and the owners/ managers had no life
i dont know how the chefs did it tho - so many orders coming thru
i suppsoe that is what they do
it seems a stressful environment
