I love it when Gordon says, "I need that John Dory! WHERE IS THAT JOHN DORY?!!! GET OUT! GET OUT OF MY KITCHEN!"
I need him and Jack Bauer in my office. :lol:
The above article totally destroys the notion that Hell's Kitchen 4 winner Christina has any important role in the London Hollywood West restaurant. When that season finished it looked like she was going to work under the supervision of Executive Chef Josh Emett, the top culinary person at London New York restaurant. However, it makes more sense to have a top culinary person on-site and that is chef de Cuisine Andy Cook(what a name!). That leaves Christina in a basically apprentice role, which is appropriate for someone of her maturity. She is getting paid big bucks for a relatively minor role.
Thanks for posting that, marigold! I'm really looking forward to talking Hell's Kitchen in January. :tup: :tup:
I do not visit Atlantic City, but I do read the newspaper which covers virtually all of New Jersey including Atlantic City. There are occasional articles about the casinos, as gaming is an important revenue source for the state of New Jersey. The Borgata is I believe the newest and most posh/swank casino in Atlantic City. A senior position there, even if it is not the top one and we know from Hell's Kitchen 4 that it won't be, is an important job in the culinary world(just as it was for the Green Valley Ranch Resort where I remember that Roc went).
I love the open to the show.
Let's rock, marigold. :xmas110 :xmas110
Great find, marigold! I'm looking forward to this season.

was first employed by Food Network star Bobby Flay at Mesa Grille.
BTW, I see that Chef Virginia Dalbeck-Armenta has located her new grill in San Angelo, which is not that bad a drive from Austin. Perhaps I'll have the opportunity to visit her new restaurant one of these days. If I do, I'll take lots of photos!
I will!!! I wonder if she would answer a few questions for us. :tup:
"J fries chicken in a food court and is furious about it. Claiming to be held down by corporations, he dreams of opening his own restaurant where his talent will be appreciated. His dream restaurant would be modeled after Japanese culture because he believes they are appreciative and humble, something J may need to learn. He believes that he is never wrong in the kitchen. For him, being a chef is more than just cooking, it is everything. This anal retentive clean freak anticipates his passion and talent will pay dividends in Hell's Kitchen."
RAMSAY'S GOOSE GETTING COOKED
By RICHARD PRICE and CYNTHIA R. FAGEN
January 25, 2009 --
He's hellfire in the kitchen, but salty celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay may not be able to stand the heat himself as he faces a crumbling restaurant empire, the tax man and saucy allegations of infidelity.
The pugnacious TV star of "Kitchen Nightmares," "Hell's Kitchen" and "The F Word" is in a pinch.
His flagship London restaurant, Foxtrot Oscar, has shuttered for two days a week. Reports have also surfaced that two other London restaurants, Ramsay's Sloane Street and The Devonshire Pub, are for sale - a claim he denies - and documents show he allegedly owes back taxes.
Last year, the charismatic cook was stripped of two coveted Michelin stars when protégé Chef Marcus Wareing split from him, effectively taking the renowned Petrus restaurant with him.
And he was replaced at London's prestigious Connaught Hotel restaurant by French chef Helene Darroze.
His kitchen nightmares extend to the bedroom, too, with recent embarrassing headline-grabbing accounts that the married Scotsman had a seven-year affair.
To make matters worse, Ramsay, 42, just fired his p.r. guru, Garry Farrow, the man heralded with helping him become the top celebrity chef in the world, not to mention the richest, with a personal fortune of $83 million.
Farrow also managed to suppress the roar of the British media, which skewered Ramsay after his alleged mistress, Sarah Symonds, unleashed bombshell allegations complete with titillating details about his penchant for the sex drug amyl nitrate.
Farrow's company went into overdrive as more women came forward claiming to have had flings with the foul-mouthed food icon.
With 25 restaurants around the world and a business that has expanded so fast - its $52 million take in 2006 has since topped $138 million per year - there is growing disquiet about the health of Ramsay's hastily constructed empire.
"This is an operation which started off with the talents of a great chef, but has become an empire where food is less important than the brand," said culinary writer James Steen.
And for a man who regularly uses his family to promote books and TV programs, the allegations about his personal life are potentially extremely costly.
Even though he's slated to open a restaurant at the Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia, next year, documents show that eight months ago, his company was extended $14 million by the Royal Bank of Scotland. He also allegedly owes two years' back taxes.
New York-based Blackstone Group, a private equity firm that helped bankroll the international expansion of Gordon Ramsay Holdings, is also wrapped up in the mess.
The culinary world is abuzz with rumors that Ramsay's restaurants are asking for extended time to pay suppliers - in some cases, as long as six to eight months, though the chef's reps strongly deny this.
As Ramsay gears up for the season premiere of "Hell's Kitchen" Thursday on Fox, the unpleasant task of restructuring has been left in the hands of Chris Hutcheson, his father-in-law and the chief executive of Gordon Ramsay Holdings.
Establishing the precise impact of the credit crunch on Ramsay's business empire is no easy task. Figures for 2007 should have been filed months ago, but the company often sends in late returns, which has prompted legal warnings that prosecution is imminent.
Well-placed figures concede that the company is "finding life pretty tough at the moment," as evidenced by the fact that there is a newspaper promotion offering dinner at Gordon Ramsay restaurants for just $21 a head. With The Daily Mail

Can't wait for Thursday, here's a video I found on Ben Walanka's facebook page.

And then we learn Hell's Kitchen Lesson One: if you're on the receiving end of Gordon Ramsay's fury, don't laugh. For goodness's sake—no, for your own sake—DON'T LAUGH! One chef who claims to know Ramsay's life story somehow never learned this lesson, and almost makes history as the quickest exit on Hell's Kitchen. Now I'm the one laughing.

more on Ji
"Huh. And you still went up for it. Masochistic much?
(Laughs) Hell, yeah! But it wasn’t that I wanted to be subjected to pain or humiliation. I just wanted to kick ass and get the prize! And on top of that, my drive is still to become successful in the culinary world, and to prove to myself and my father that I’m hot s— in the kitchen."
Lacey whines and plods along. Not good. :nono2:
I would like to see her out tonight. Please.
Ji rocks! :yess: :yess: :yess:
Go Ben!!! I'm from Chi town, we lost one tonite since Wil is from the area, so that leaves Ben.
Lacey and Seth seem to be there for Comedy relief and someone for Gordan to pick on. I don't see Colleen making it very far, not if she can't tell the difference between salt and sugar :duno:
http://www.whud.com/morning_show/
WHUD radio interview with Chef Ji :jumpy:
The gist of Wil's self-defense is that Ramsey is looking for a specific type of attitude (gung-ho) and that Seth had it and he didn't. For all his mistakes, Seth pretty much matched them. So it was a question of which of those two fit Ramsey's mold better. Clearly, Seth did. Why Giovanni got a pass from the Blue Team is beyond me since he was the actual cause of their having to nominate 2 to be considered for elimination. I guess the reason is that he was put into a situation completely foreign to him while WIl and Seth were doing things that are routine in a fine dining kitchen.
Yeah, sounds like Seth is the black sheep! He has his work cut out for him.
on another note, Ji's party was great! She was in this smoking hot red dress, and she is really tall!!! :-[
NY1 covered the party, and I think I saw Zherdev from the NY rangers show up too! Not sure if that was him. I met Ji's boyfriend, he kinda looks like Bruce Willis.
Great party, and Ji FTW!!!
Here is the link for the rest of the story.

The premier was great, couldn't really hear...party was loud! I saw it again. That Lacey girl is annoying the hell out of me, get her out of there!!!
So sorry to see Wil go, of all the people... I would have liked to see Giovanni, Carol or Lacey leave. Come on Giovanni...what is polenta? Did you catch the DUH pill that night?
Carol doesn't seem to have the experience. And we all know what Lacey is...whine, whine, whine. Boo hoo, get a clue!!!
Holy crap I just googled seth levine from hell's kitchen and came up with his red carpet premiere party for the show...sophia bush contetine maroulis from american idol some olympic guys and other celebrities. this guy has to be the winner to have a party like that. I also saw him on Good Day NY. some one please explain
:knuckles: :kuss: :umn: :yess: :yess: :yess: :yess:
I hope Chef brings her back. There's precedence.
:(And she got to keep her jacket. Chef really liked her.
And she got to keep her jacket. Chef really liked her.
I’m also working on a new concept for a cook book.
...Yeah well he yelled at me for running out of tuna. Yeah I think he called me a donkey, I don’t remember. Yeah he told me that I had to go into the dining room and tell John Pierre that I ran out of tuna. And John Pierre was telling me how could you do this? I was trying to help you guys out. I buy you cushioned appetizers and now you’re telling me you run out of tuna? It was like yeah can you tell them that we don’t have tuna? So that was my moment of glory with chef Gordon Ramsay and John Pierre.
As someone who has been there (behind the scenes) Reality tv is not exactly what you see!
In a 48 hour time period, you see it edited down to 45 min.
Is what you see actually happening at that time??? Look at hair styles, bandanas and such! Things are spliced an edited to an undescribable degree.
Ji had a perfect service both nights...She disclosed in an interview how she ran out of tuna and was pushed out into the dinning room in the middle of service with Ramsay yelling in her face! We didn't see that!!! Why?
Coleen apeared so skrew up everything, if thats true then how did they finish service, she had to make good food as well in order for it to go out...Editing!
Carol put the team behind with the last risotto at the end of service, don't they serve all the apps first before moving on to entrees? Is it possible they threw in a last second risotto to purposley put the blue team ahead?
We saw no lobster spaghetti or Beef Wellington???? Were they all good????
The few second you see is taken so far from what's actually going on, it's crazy.
Imagine if you were filmed for 48 hours and you absolutly worts 5 min were on national Television!
Imagine if you made 50 excellent dishes but the 1 bad one was on tv. Imagine if you were hard working an focus for 47 and a holf hours and youe few min of being unfocused were all that was shown! It's Reality TV not Reality!!
You think the people on the show are harsh to each other. Thats nothing compaered to some of you and your harsh critisism! Go after your dreams and praise those going after thiers.

this is on the FOX network. It is not what you would see on CBS

this is on the FOX network. It is not what you would see on CBS
I don’t find this to be true as I cannot compare culinary skills and working at the Borgata to that of the sex on live feeds and anything goes ( the actual lowest ) from contestants at CBS’s Big Brother.
I was sick most of my stay in Hell’s Kitchen, and during the finale, I kept repeating to myself, “This is one more day for the rest of my life. I can make it through this. Just one more day.” So to future contestants, when you injure yourself, and you will injure yourself, fight back. Take it one day at a time. It is an easy penance to change your life.
I liked Christina from the get-go last season and this article makes me like her more. Good post, marigold! :tup: :tup: ;)
cheffan,
Let me first be critical of you, as a true fan of HK5 would know that Beef Wellington has been taken off the menu by Gordon Ramsay. You will not see it until he decides that the chefs are copmetent to handle it.Apart from that, I find most of your comments apropos. Editing is the key to Reality TV. They have 10 to 15 hours(time mutiple cameras) of footage over 2 days that go to the Edit room. Only a small percentage of what goes in can be in the final 42 minute (plus commercials) version. They edit for drama and pathos, not to reflect the reality of what happened in the kitchen and break areas. From my persective as a viewer, the editors do a very good job although remember that this is on the FOX network. It is not what you would see on CBS, NBC or ABC.
I would probably be one of the commentators you consider to be harsh. I'm from the Howard Cosell School of Journalism. I tell it like it is. Isn't this reality TV we are talking about?
Chef Gordon Ramsay has given up on Beef Wellington.
As any fan of "Hell's Kitchen" knows that savory hunk of beef topped with pate and duxelles and wrapped in puff pastry has been the Waterloo for countless otherwise capable chefs.
"I’ve thrown the towel in," Ramsay told reporters on a Wednesday (Jan. 28) conference call. "I’m so frustrated. That dish cooks itself. The battle of that dish, 90% of the organization is done sort of for you. So it’s a dish that is down to pure timing. You don’t even tough it in a way that it’s cooked in a convection oven and then you slice the end, trim it and serve it. It’s a joy and something that I’m going to admit the seat on that front and take off the Beef Wellington. And I suppose that’s the one dish that helps to make me feel less homesick when I’m spending as much time as I am over here. I know how to do it perfectly. And even my children know how to do it perfectly. So when I see these muppets messing around, and all they have to do is prep it perfectly and it cooks itself. You don’t touch it, you don’t sear it, you don’t season it, it’s just done. Put it in the oven, let it go. So yes, hands down, no more Wellington."
Not to start an argument... It's not totally clear whether Chef Ramsay is or isn't serving Beef Wellington. I read this the other day:
I guess we'll have to see what happens this week. :duno:
:lol: I guess we'll find out in the upcoming shows. Beef Wellington or no Beef Wellington.
We have to take into account the long delay between the filming and this season being aired. Anything could have happened one way or another eh? Maybe the next season won't have Beef Wellington. Now I'm hungry!
I guess we'll have to see what happens this week. :duno:
No, don't you remember TL I posted it was going to be preempted?
I just found seth's website from his facebook account www.chefseth.com :jumpy: :jumpy: :jumpy: :jumpy:

Apskip I believe you are not well informed and owe our newest member Chef Fan an apology as I myself know very well that Ramsay has not taken the Wellington off the menu and whatever else reason you have made up.
I spent a few minutes following up on your post AGAIN and if you listen closely on the 1st video posted below ( taken from Episode 1 ) you hear Gordon Ramsay call out an Entree order of ( 3 ) Wellington at the 6:15 mark.
Next I took a screencap of Wellington prepared and dished in Episode 1 along with the video where I had taken the screencap and you can see that at the 6:50 mark.
Finally I will extend my thanks once again to Chef Fan for the post :tup: :hugs:

Beef wellington is on the menu for (all of) season 5 and several were served that night!

How did Seth stay? And why? And after that long-winded plea? I thought he was definitely gone.
Do you think Gordon keeps Seth around to amuse and abuse :duno:?How did Seth stay? And why? And after that long-winded plea? I thought he was definitely gone.
I do not know! He literally butchered the meat, made a mess of everything he touched. It's beyond me.

I certainly hope not. He's not entertaining to me. He's more creepy over the fact he knows every aspect of Chef's life.

How could anyone NOT see the butt end of the lettuce? :groan: However the blame for this should rest on the person who prepped in the first place and we don't know who did that do we?
I wish Ji had been able to stay in the competition and I'm feeling bad for my fellow Austinite Coi, who was on the receiving end of some of Ramsay's wrath last night.
BTW, I've never heard of tomato butter. :hides How is it made?
Now that was a very amateur move with the butt of lettuce. (:;)
Ben was on the chopping block with Lacey, Colleen, and Seth...wow never thought would happen. Ben seemed to be a strong contestant, what happened??? :duno:
Me too wish Chef Ji was back, maybe we'll get a surprize visit??? Let's just hope. :hearts:
Basic Tomato Butter recipe is...
1 large tomato (about 1/2 lb)
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon salt
Got to blanch the tomato first. And you can add any seasoning you want. Then I like to roll it into a log and keep it in the freezer and I can use it whenever I need it.
YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! :yess: :yess: :yess: :yess:I was thinking to myself, theres no way that either of those 2 would go >> Jay & Andrea were saved!
The right person got kicked out!!! Chef Ramsey did the right thing by putting the two nominees back in line then pulling out the person who was eventually kicked out.

Chef Carol is an amazing chef. On Steak night, there was not one of the steaks Carol grilled sent back, and last week on the fish station, again, she was flawless. She has only been in trouble once, and that was when she made risotto and then the others didn't have their stuff done and hers had to sit and get cold.
I know this show brings out the worst in everyone, but the yelling needs to stop, it is not productive (and the ones who yell are never the winners anyway)... Carol does not need to yell in the kitchen to run her kitchen every night successfully... and her work is consistently good. I'm from Vegas, so I ask you ....who would you bet on? :duno: Carol of course!!! :yess:
Hell's Kitchen 5 Episode 6 Recap
We start with the usual review of last week's episode. The tension between Carol and Andrea is highlighted, just in case you missed it last week. Ramsay calls J lazy. Andrea screwed up several beef Wellingtons. Colleen had multiple problems culminating in a dessert that had frozen pear on it.
Ramsay announces that Hell's Kitchen will do a bar mitzvah celebration for the first time. The menu will be hamburger, beef brisket, and chicken soup. In walk the mother and grandmother of the celebrant. They say a little about what he likes. Ramsay says he wants a gourmet approach to hamburger, beef brisket and chicken soup and each team has 45 minutes to develop a menu containing them with new twists and cook it. The challenge will be judged by the bar mitzvah boy Max himself. There is some controversy on the Red team Burger because Carol was not listening to her colleagues' feedback on the choice of cheese and on cooking it medium-well vs. medium. The dishes are:
Blue traditional Chicken Noodle Soup with vegetables, fresh pasta and rice balls vs. Red Spring Chicken Soup with vegetables, pasta and pea shoots the simpler men's soup wins
Blue (Ben) Beef Brisket fairly plain vs. Red (LA) Beef Brisket braised with Cherry Barbecue sauce the higher flavor women's brisket wins due to the BBQ sauce
Blue Kobe Beef burger homemade sundried tomato mayonnaise again fairly straight up Red Hamburger Kobe beef, veal, and lamb with fries plus blue cheese and sauteed onions and Portobello mushrooms. apple aioli the men win because he didn't like the Women's cheese.
The Men win the Challenge and get an afternoon of pampering at a salon, which they all enjoy. The women get one of the easier tasks, to set up the dining room for the bar mitzvah. Someone decided that boys that age like to shoot baskets and play that game with the flippers, so a mini basketball halfcourt is set up. Jean-Pierre is frustrated when the mother tells him that she has hired a party planner, the inescapable Francisco from past seasons. He always is in conflict with Jean-Pierre. The actor playing Francisco goes way over the top and it's a hoot to see him in action.
The guests are as many family and friends who can fit around the perimeter of the basketball court, maybe about 40. Ramsay announces that this service will include each of the winning dishes from the Challenge. So it's time for the Carol vs. Andrea show to start. Andrea is on the Appetizers station and for the second week in a row she appears brain-dead. J is on the Appetizers station for Blue and he is having a problem that quickly resolves. Francisco is having a great time shooting baskets, but Jean-Pierre comes over and tells him that the basket are reserved for the young guests and that he is to stay away from it. Coi is on the Meat station, frequently the one that sinks the careers of Hell's Kitchen chef. She forgot to put burgers on and says that this happens a lot to her and it's no big deal. Ramsay thinks it's a big deal and he rants and raves. She then undercooks the hamburgers so they have to be done over. Throughout the evening there is sniping between Carol and Andrea. The Red team is ordered by Ramsay to take time out to carry the Horah with chair Lifts. Ben is sad that he is not asked to be part of the Horah festivities since he is Jewish.
Ramsay has a surprise for the mitzvah boy and is it ever something. 7 of the Harlem Globetrooters come out on the court and do one of their brief routines. They give Max a Globetrotters uniform. That set somebody back a good $10,000. That is probably less than Francisco got for his acting fees. Francisco brings out a huge decorated cake and manages to deliberately obliterate it as he bumps into Jean-Pierre. The chefs are forced to do desserts on no notice but it all worked out.
Dinner service is over and Ramsay says both teams did well in completing it. He decides to award the win to the team which tried harder consistently throughout the night. That is the Blue team. Then we come to the dilemma of the night. Andrea was clearly the worst and deserved to go home in my opinion. The next worst was undoubtedly Coi. Ramsay tells Andrea she made a significant turnaround by the end of the evening and she gets to select the nominees (which we know make absolutely no difference to him; they're just another opportunity for Ramsay's sadism to have chefs twisting in the wind on the gallows). Andrea comes back and says she can't decide. Ramsay tells her she has to, so she picks Coi (no surprise) and LA (huh?). LA had no part in anything negative tonight so this was a poor choice. Her other choices were herself, Carol and Paula and Carol and Paula both performed well so it would have been laughable to nominate them. Basically, Andrea was avoiding nominating herself by nominating LA. Ramsay of course saw right through that. He polled the women's team for who should be eliminated. coi, Carol and LA all said Andrea. Paula says Coi. Andrea can be assumed to have said Ramsay picks Coi to leave, stating that anyone who can't cook burgers does not belong in Hell's Kitchen.
Now, here's what I think really happened. Ramsay knew that Andrea was the proper person for elimination, but I suspect that the producers intervened. They have this big conflict going on between Carol and Andrea and it makes excellent television. They will milk this for several more episodes, probably until Carol and Andrea are the last two from the Red team remaining. Although Coi did not deserve elimination she was the only available sacrificial lamb.

Thank you for the welcomes Marigold :waves: and Texas Lady. Apskip, I agree with parts of your post. I know Carol very well, she has cooked for my kids. That burger was Her dish to make, and she made a decision to make and she took a chance with something that is a best seller in her restaurant, that her own kids like, and she has made it at parties where I have been and everyone liked it, even my kids. She may have made a bad call, but he said make it a high end burger, it was her turn to make something, and that was her choice, and she has to live with it. She is an Executive Chef, and has to be tough to be a female in that role, and has had to stand up for her own point of view more often than not in her career, just like any female exec has to do, and that was what she did. Usually she doesn't make mistakes, it was one bad call, it is a very good possibility that she may not have realized other team mates Besides the one she was trying to TUNE OUT was telling her to change the cheese. It must have been pretty good since the mom and grandma couldn't stop eating it LOL
I saw they showed the battle to go on next week too, but I hope they get past it and the red team wins. I think that Carol, LA, and Paula are all very good, but I have no idea who will be the last 2 standing, believe me I have tried to find out! All of the chefs were the best of the best in order to get there, they have to go through hell to get to Hell... and they are all portrayed at their worst and with creative editing made to look even worse.
A good article about Ben.

A good article about Ben.

BW: Gordon Ramsey is constantly searching for that green apple that fell from the tree and is looking to become ripe. That’s what he wants. He’s not really interested in the seasoned veteran for the most part. There are always exceptions, but he has made it clear in many interviews that he prefers to mold raw talent.
sticking this here before I forget .. from tvguide
You don't think the producers would try to stage something in a reality show? ;)
The fighting continued but after they(Carol and Andrea) had to share a plate that they screwed up together , maybe that will start the healing process so they can stop fighting and let their cooking show more.

I think that there is no chance of reconciliation of Carol and Andrea until one is eliminated due to the intense rivalry they have. I hope Carol stays longer. It will be interesting to see how both of them react to Giovanni on the Red team. I predict he will eventually (after his honeymoon period) be attacked by both of them in on-screen remarks.
.... more on next weekSo next week is episode 9? I get mixed up because of The Amazing Race and Survivor episodes.
Episode: 9
Chef Ramsay stresses the value of an accurate palate and introduces the Blind Taste Test.
One team is furious when their team member fails to correctly identify romaine lettuce.
In the end due to poor performance, Ramsay switches the rules in the final round and the contestants struggle to come out on top.
http://site.citytv.com/hellskitchen/recaps.aspx (http://site.citytv.com/hellskitchen/recaps.aspx)
So next week is episode 9? I get mixed up because of The Amazing Race and Survivor episodes.
Someone commented on my youtube so I was really confused :funny: "wheres hells kitchen episode 7! if they r showing the priview of episode 8! im getting so mad!"

No not me! lol! That was the comment written under my youtube clip that I put up for next week. They confused me on the episodes :lol:

Who is pissing you off how dare they make you mad (:;) :flowers: :kuss:
That’s up to Gordon. It’s his kitchen. I understand. Like I said, I have no regrets, no animosity. I was glad to leave. It took a couple seconds to realize what happened, of course, but by the time there was thirty seconds to a minute, it’s like, “You know what, that’s good. I’m packing my stuff and it’s time to leave. I’m going home to my son, to my wife. We’ve got a lot to do, a lot to plan. So you know, like I said, I believe Gordon Ramsay, he knew I couldn’t deliver my best. He didn’t know why, he didn’t understand what was going on. He had no idea about the autism. So he just knew something was bothering me and I wasn’t going to be able to perform to my best, so why be there? He really wasn’t that rude about it. It might look that way, but it’s his kitchen, and I understand. I was ready to leave. He could have kicked out Lacey or Ben just as much, because they were making more mistakes than me, but mentally I just wasn’t there. And you sense that.
TARAsia Fan feels J. talks too much in the third person. TARAsia Fan is sympathetic to J over his son's autism. TARAsia Fan is now done talking in the third person.
I know TARAsia Fan/Ken very well and it was tongue in cheek, he was not making fun of J's child! If anything he was having fun with J's interview @ J not his child!
That leaves Giovanni, Carol and Andrea. I haven't seen much from Giovanni. I think many overrated his performance last episode. He might make it, but I don't think so.
We had a double eviction from the kitchen tonight. Lacey could not get her act together on the meat station. She was totally lost. Ramsay told her to leave, talked to her in the store room, gave her another chance but she was hopelessly lost. The second time he told her to leave for good. The 3 guys regrouped and were blazing the entrees leaving the girls in the dust. In the end LA was also told to give Chef Ramsay her jacket and pack it in.
I'm so glad Lacey is gone but I wish he had given Carol another chance.
I hope apskip will give us another one of his great recaps! :tup:
Unless I am mistaken, TexasLady, Ramsay did give Carol and Andrea another chance. The way things went last night my predictions are right on course. We now have a Final 7 of Ben, Robert, and Danny for Blue and Carol, Andrea, Paula and Giovanni for the Red team. My prediction for next week was that Ben would be eliminated, later Robert and Giovanni to get to a Final 4 of Danny, Paula, Carol and Andrea. Chef Ramsay must like the culinary skills of Carol and Andrea because they are such poor communicators they could have been jettisoned on or before last night's episode and they have occasional bouts of brain-freeze.
I think Ben is weaker than the rest but his performance as part of the new Blue Machine may allow him to stay longer than I originally thought. It was really interesting that Ramsay set up the pairings so that Danny and Paula competed in the last round, which as always decides who wins the challenge. That is a good indicator that my prediction of Paula vs. danny in the final 2 will happen.
I think she learned a lot, but at the same time, she still wanted the guys to help her and I think they were willing to do so, but Lacey spent her time complaining. It was a bit much for me, but seeing that she's now decorating cakes, it's probably what she should be doing. I wish her nothing but the best.
Chef got rid of the right person tonight. I will say I'm fed up of Danny's "I'm the best here" attitude because he's not. I hope Chef yells at him next week because I haven't seen him get it as of yet.
I'm thinking he shuts down the kitchen and has them cook at a restaurant somewhere else?
What do we make of the tease for next week? Shutting down Hell's Kitchen? Why? ???
I am more interested in a few other aspects of next week's preview. I see a hint that they could be a double elimination next week. Why would Ramsay want that? So he can create a space for Chef Ji, who should be mostly healed and able to function in the kitchen. You heard this prediction first here.

You heard this prediction first here.I have been thinking that Chef Ji is going to come back since she left. I certainly hope so because this crop has been quite mediocre. No one really stands out.
I can see Chef Ramsey calling Ji every day, "Can you come back? No can cook a bloody berrrr-gerrrr here. No can do anything. I'll even carry you if I have to."
Did you notice that the teams merged? Gio was wearing the black stripes.buffomatic like survivor :lol: ..good catch Ken!
HELL'S KITCHEN SEASON 5
Episode: 10
Air Date: April 9, 2009
IT'S EVERY CHEF FOR THEMSELVES ON "HELL'S KITCHEN" THURSDAY, APRIL 9, ON FOX
Tensions run high as the remaining chefs join forces to form one team. During the individual challenge, each chef must use fourteen simple ingredients to create a phenomenal dish to impress Chef Ramsay. The winner receives the "best reward" seen in HELL'S KITCHEN thus far, while the losers endure a painful physical punishment. In order to personally outshine the other competitors, chefs must work well as teammates during the heated dinner service that sends one chef to the medic. Tune-in to see who Chef Ramsay sends packing on HELL'S KITCHEN airing Thursday, April 9 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
The one from each would be Carol and probably Robert.Carol is already gone, ap.
^^ I couldn't recognize the 2 in the background behind Gio then realized it was a mirror :lol:
If anybody ever goes on a reality show, don’t read the blogs! I’m not really a bitch, I just play one on TV!
Don't forget most reality shows do have writers and they set stuff up for the host. In this situation, I'm sure they set it up so Gordon would pick Danny and Paula's stuff.
Writers on reality shows are hidden away, but they're there. I don't think they're on The Amazing Race, but America's Top Model and Survivor have them.
Paula rocked tonight. Danny escaped yelling.
Gio, you don't put a 500 degree pan in a cooler!!! What are you thinking?? Seeing Robert's hand was evidence of that. I felt bad for the guy seeing his hand blister up.
Andrea is so bad. She looked like she quit tonight.
Danny is arrogant. Ben doesn't shut up. Either one of those could go and I would not be sad.
The only one who really has been consistent is Paula. I wouldn't mind seeing her win.
This crop of chefs has not been stellar at all. We'll never know how Chef Ji would have done. I think she would blown away this field. But Paula to me is the best of them. Danny is second, but he has to be knocked down a peg or two. His ego can fill two rooms and he's too young to be thinking like he does. I like Robert, but he did not perform well and his burn kind of saved him.
He manages to break two cases with bottles of alcohol when he was trying to be a hero carrying the 2 boxes. In addition, the losers get to prep the evening's service!
i like danny so far he is my fav to win. it might b because he has stayed out of a lot of the drama or he is just a like abl guy..i love the name of the restrunt he works at, and new smerna fl is a realy great place.You and I will disagree on this, tory. I really don't like his attitude and I want to engage him in a fistfight. Other than that, I'm sure he's a nice guy. :lol:
Sorry about the person leaving, but you'll know when you watch the episode.
Andrea, Andrea, Andrea. What the hell were you doing? It pains me to say, but Danny did well. Paula did also.
I have some additional observations. If the HK5 finale were on Top Chef, then any chefs that made it to the final have a chance to win, based on the top Chef philosophy that only performance in the current episode can be used to judge the outcome. I like Gordon Ramsay's philosophy much better. He maneuvers to make sure that the best two chefs are competing in the finale. Either one can win, but the one with a better cumulative performance through the season can get there. Paula and Danny are running neck-and-neck on this, so it's too close to call.
Exclusive Interview: Robert Hesse of 'Hell's Kitchen'
Friday, April 17, 2009
Robert Hesse - Hell's KitchenRobert Hesse was one of the most hilarious contestants this season of Hell's Kitchen, with a very sarcastic humor. He was a strong contender, and Christina Machamer's pick to win. He made it to the final five, but when Ramsay sent them all to Atlantic City to check out the Borgata Hotel where the winner's restaurant will be located, he suddenly felt chest pains, and ended up in the hospital with pericarditis. He came back to Hell's Kitchen to announce that he would not be continuing with the competition, and Ramsay told him he should be proud of his work and know that he was a formidable competitor for the prize.
BuddyTV got a chance to talk to Robert about his time on Hell's Kitchen.
Robert cites his family for the reason why he entered the competition, as well as the reason why he left. Everything he does is for his family, and he's no good to them if he's six feet under.
He says that Gordon Ramsay is a cross between Martha Stewart and Attila the Hun.
I noted to him that he has been one of the most entertaining contestants on the show this year, and I asked him what it was has been like to watch himself on TV. He enjoys the attention that he has been getting from people on the street. He sometimes walks down the street and people stick their heads out of manholes and yell, "We love you, Rob!"
Since leaving the show, his heart condition has improved, and he has begun working hard to get his weight under control. Working with a personal trainer, he has lost 55 pounds so far, and is getting ready to undergo gastric bypass surgery. He has also gotten married (he postponed his wedding to appear on the show) and went on a honeymoon to the Caribbean, where he enjoyed a lot more recognition as well.
Things are looking up for Robert. He and fellow Hell's Kitchen contestant Seth are starting a restaurant together, which will open on June 1.

Thanks for the video puddin! :hearts:
Tory, I'd be a quivering mass of jello if I got yelled at by someone like Ramsay. I'd be beyond the weeds, I'd be in the jungle. :lol:
I felt bad for Robert. I think there are a number of reasons for developing pericarditis, could have been his weight. I believe it's an inflammation around the outside of the heart. I loved his humor. All through the competition I kept thinking he would be so much better off if he lost some weight.
I found an exit interview that I thought was interesting. He says he's lost 55 lbs and is waiting to get a bypass! I'm sure he will be much better off. He also got married, he had to postpone his wedding because of the competition.QuoteExclusive Interview: Robert Hesse of 'Hell's Kitchen'

LOL at his comment about Ramsay, a cross between Martha Stewart and Attilla the Hun. :funny:
I really hope the gastric bypass works for him. He has a lot of talent in the kitchen, his weight hampers him and apparently now is harming his health. He got a wake-up call. I wish him the best, I think he has a great future. Good luck with the restaurant Robert! :tup:
My hubby and I also know the effects of the heart bypass apskip, it isn't easy, it takes awhile to recover and you have to work at it.
Sorry about the person leaving, but you'll know when you watch the episode.
Andrea, Andrea, Andrea. What the hell were you doing? It pains me to say, but Danny did well. Paula did also.
Yes, I'm very, very sorry! :'( I'm so sorry Robert had to leave this way.
I agree with you about Danny and Paula, it's clear they are the better two left now. Ben gets too upset. (Who wouldn't with Ramsay screaming in your face.)
LOL about the preview!!! Why are you banging that pan Andrea?? :funny: You can see Paula laughing to herself.
One other thing struck me last night with Robert leaving, once again a cheftestant leaves for personal or health reasons but only once has Ramsay given the chef their jacket to keep and that chef was Ji.
Oh my gosh, how can I miss that Texaslady??? That's right Robert didn't get the jacket like Chef Ji. So does that mean she's coming back???
Thanks TL!
Yeah, not sure if that was a sign of Ji coming back on a future season.
We'll have to wait and see.
Either of the choices tonight would have been the right choice to go. And I know this is mean, but I want to punch Danny in the mouth. He's so arrogant.You meanie! LOL ! Really he is young and needs to grow up is all.

I know Andrea is done next show. Has anyone really heard Chef Ramsay yell at Danny?
Next week's preview shows Ramsay making a comment about the "Best of the Rest" and the chefs make a reference to having some top U.S. chefs in to cook for. We'll see who they feel is in that category. Will they rival the ones who show up on Top Chef? I also think that they will see the remaining chefs' families as the show opens next episode. Since my "Ji will return" prediction has not come true, I could be off on this one too.
yea next week should b intersting!!! ps i like danny lol :hides
I know nothing about cooking.
I probably would never order any entree like Beef Wellington, John Dory, or Risotto.
But everyweek, I always get a few laughs, chuckles, and grins from this program.
I even miss Lacey. She represented all of those people in my work world who I would think, "How did that $^&&%# get his or her job?"
Good times.

There's a video clip of Robert and Seth some where but I just can't find it.
I wish him well and hope the gastric bypass surgery is successful.
Let hear it for the return of Lacey next week!! :wohoo: :sucks :jumpy: :hearts: :yess: :tup:
Please, I can't stand Lacey. She has as much personality as a screen door.
Pedaler, thanks for the tip. I had given up on that when it appeared to duplciate the ending of the latest show. It does indeed look like Lacey will be placed on someone's team, although I doubt that either Paula or Danny want her. Ramsay has taken the last 8, not the best 8. Lacey will be the forced last pick. I am not giving up hope for seeing Ji, but the probability is now remote. That means that it is likely to be Danny/Ben/Robert against Paula/Andrea/Carol. The only question is which team gets Giovanni and which gets Lacey. That is a no brainer for whoever gets first pick. I wonder whether it will be earned by the Atlantic City challenge (my personal hope) or just a random draw.Robert isn't there though? It's Ben/Gio/Lacey/Andrea/LA/Carol
Hi! Yes, I agree loyalties will prevail. I think I saw Lazy Lacey in the mix of helpers, where does she fall under??? Yikes, who will end up with her, blue team nor red got along with her.
:faint:That pretty much sums it up. And the new season is coming up pretty soon.
Honestly I could have lived without this season ......... bring on HK6!!:faint:That pretty much sums it up. And the new season is coming up pretty soon.
Wow I was surprised at ramseys choice for winner! Lacey was horrible. Wish Danny had gotten her. Paula's restaurant was beautiful. Danny's seemed more like a fish camp type theme. Anyway congrats to the winner!I almost forgot about that part. Paula's was gorgeous and Danny's was a bit fishey.
For anyone who is interested, Carol Scott (from Hell's Kitchen season 5) was a Las Vegas Stripper at The Crazy Horse as "Christine" I know this because I used to party with her back in the day! She is so Hot!
:duno: I'm not sure if anyone out there has seen his other show "the F word" but it's a great show! he's NOTHING like what he is on hells kitchen.. he's actually seems like a fun guy!! (BTW F stands for FOOD).I don't get the BBC channel so no ugot, I have not seen the F word.
the person that got chewed out must know that if they are doing the interviewing there is a slight chance of him showing that pathetic "donkey" side of him!! even if he was outa line! :meow:
anyway.. if you get a chance the show is on the BBC he's on his 3rd season of it so he can't be doing too bad finacially. :2cents:
