Well if anyone can keep me in-tune to an hour long cooking show, it's ambitious foul-mouthed UK celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey.. He definately takes the culinary whip to both the newbies and the veteran's chefs alike! "Ouch, no mercy here...! 😉 and a scorpion to boot.! so good all-around entertainment.

btw, he's been awarded a total of ten Michelin stars. So he knows his stuff..

Yeah! no holes barred with this guy..LOL! i LUV it too! i've been watching more this season with the Veteran chefs. The last episode, he not only made the poor chef cry himself to sleep like a baby at night; (also due to his non-existant clientele, i might add) he locked Ramsey straight out of his restaurant the next morning, and he basically had to beg and weasel his way back in..LOL* "why? why? why?" Ramsey looked completely lost that time..lol In the end, thankfully it all worked out, hugs and handshakes all around, or was it just handshakes..! 🙂

lol @ D it's basically a team of ordinary people from the public one each week (i.e. one week it will be a team of firefighters the next it could be nurses or whatever) and they have to cook a three course meal. The diners (some celebs some not) have to vote on whether or not they would pay for each dish.

The team then get points for how many dishes they've served that the diners say they would pay for. At the end of the series the team with the most points wins.

In between though he does a "challenge Ramsey" with a different celeb each week, similar sort of thing they both cook their own version of the same dish and it gets voted on. He also does various informative bits throughout the show and chats to various celebs.

It's really good!

I like how Ramsay will even update the dining area and signage in addition to the culinary, if needed. He will even buy brand new appliances and cookers if needed. Atmosphere is half the enjoyment, as he says too. ha ha ..last time i watched, one restaurant had 72 items on the menu! Yeah, Ramsay got rid of the *# $ @##!!! telephone directory in no time..LOL

There's one thing i would include for all chefs and preps though. Wear latex gloves while handling food. Human hands naturally have oils on them, and who knows the last time the cook has washed his hands..lol* That would be one of my golden rules. I think Ramsay would agree ..he's pretty keen on the hygenics too ..lol Many times, he has had to shut down and clean a place first. "NO food poisoning for him again!"

"What sign Is Chef Gordon? He seems like a Leo to me."

Actually, Chef Gordon Ramsay is a passionate Scorpion! I had this strong feeling he was water, from the MEGA-like emotions! lol =) ..again, i admire his high energy, and his serious, professional dedication to what he loves. There's a right, a wrong way and a better way, helping weed out the lazy and careless, that only bring down a restaurant. He's a demanding guy with the highest standards, yet with the biggest heart.

And was just going to say, there's another talented, prof chef to watch for; Scorpion Curtis Stone - *Take Home Chef* yes, yet another scorp, born only 4 days apart..! LOL, he could actually be Ramsay's younger brother; they even look alike, sharing the same love and dedication for what they do.. sharing back with others. Completely qualified as a chef, by 18!! Except this Aussie chef doesn't swear, notta once!! LOL Anyway, he selects a complete stranger off the street, buys all the food stuff, goes back home with them, cooks up this delicious gourmet 5-star meal, to then surprise an unsuspecting b/f, g/f, spouse,, etc etc! ...

Hey, that's fantastic Thetis! yeah, i agree totally, he is legend! And just when you think he can't possibley get any angrier,,well..LOL!

Honestly a couple nights ago, in Hell's Kitchen, it was mayham and sweat once again for the student chefs. Near the end, he told them all to just "GET OUT!!!" and had them all running down the hallway to their rooms, like lil 4 yr olds..lol Man, he cracks me up too.
