This season of Hell's Kitchen, Really? These are professional chefs? From what I've seen so far they are a bunch of children with a few teenagers thrown in for supervision, poor supervision but all they seem to have. None are willing to work together; none seem to be able to cook a variety of food, only their special dishes. Maybe one or two can cook a dish or two, but to fail at so many levels by so many different chefs is just plain unprofessional.
First cook off and one of the cooks made the top chef sick from what she served him as her special dish. One of the contestants seems to be a big buffoon with no chef skills whatsoever; another is a spoiled brat who has probably never washed a spoon much less cleaned working kitchen full of dirty pots and pans. Another made the comment that she would have someone else to do the work since she was the "chef". One even medically crapped out the first "service" (hope she is ok). One even lied about who had been chosen to leave, volunteering another person because he felt slighted by him. Another told the customers not to order sides because the cook preparing them wasn't going to get them done in a reasonable time. And give me a break, even my little podunk town has a Sushi Bar, can't make sushi, what chef can't serve raw food?
Ever wonder why some chefs are so large? There's one cook on there who can't let scrapped dishes go in the can, eats them one huge mouthful at a time. Breasts? You want to see some, there is a cook on there who thinks they should be flopping out of her top at the smallest bounce and another who thinks high heels are kitchen working shoes, and then there's the backward hat worn down to the eyebrows. What's that, a gang outfit you say? You want to shave your head and be bald, fine, show it, don't hide it. Please, didn't greased hair go out of style a few decades ago? One thing I can't stand is dirty hair, and greasy hair is dirty hair, moussed hair is dirty hair, feels dirty, looks dirty, is dirty. A chef should have clean, well controlled hair, not a grease mop flopping around like a sea gull after the last oil spill.
Where did they dig this group of losers up from? Homeless shelters across the nation? I'm sure they didn't find them in fine restaurants; there's is too little maturity and teamwork throughout the entire group for any of them to have come from successful restaurants, at least ones that have a real staff and aren't fast food joints on the side of the road.
I'm not a big fan of the show, but due to no cable, and no satellite, my pickings are slim so usually end up watching at least an hour of it till another show on another broadcast channel comes on. I've seen some real pros go through the king jerk chef's kitchen, ones that could whip up just about any dish out of what ever was put in front of them, that quality is not in this group and I sure hope he can find some more chefs out there that can measure up to previous shows caliber, just don't know if I can stand waiting. Maybe there are some ringers in there just to screw it all up, sure is working.
My advice to the rest of the contestants, grow the f-$&-k up if you want to run a multimillion dollar restaurant and be famous for your food. There are people out there who would love to be where you are, just to have someone recognize that their food is edible and offer them something besides minimum wage or slightly better, and they would be willing to clean, prep, iron the fricking table cloths just to be there and learn from the chefs on the show. Cease the whining and crying and back biting and do your JOB.
And in case you haven't figured it out, you are not the chef, you are the cook and the scullery maid and the potato peeler until all the others have been kicked out, then you might be the chef, hopefully you will have learned how to cook by then and won't run that brand new restaurant into the ground in the first week.
