Hell's Kitchen Season 4
TexasLady:
Apskip, I believe you have more experience with restaurants and running a kitchen than most of us, who would you give the nod to?
apskip:
My experience is half-owner briefly of a restaurant and frequent fine dining all over Europe and parts of the U.S. I like Petrozza. He is stable and steady and has managerial experience and lots of kitchen experience. Also, he has the respect of Gordon Ramsay, which none of the other contestants ever developed, based on his truthful and accurate assessments whenever Ramsay asked for them. The prize is his to lose.
Christina shows great potential but she has no present experience in managing a kitchen. She has loads of culinary talent, which is why she made it to the Final 2. however, there is no substitute for the experience and I doubt Ramsay would take a risk on her.
To some extent it is a little like last year with Rock(more kitchen experience) vs. Bonnie(little kitchen experience). More kitchen experience won; there wasn't any significant difference in their actual running of the kitchens in the Finale that I could discern.

Thanks for your insight. The prize is his to lose. That says it all Apskip.

Last night's episode had Petrozza beating Christina 3-2 in a challenge to prepare their signature dishes. Petrozza's win gave him the first pick of helpers. He chose Bobby. Christina chose Corey. He chose Ben. She chose Louross. that leaves Matt and Jen. This presents a Hobson's choice(essentially the lesser of the two evils). The epsiode ended before that decision was presented. I think Petrozza is coming from behind and has to pick Jen in spite of the major risks she poses.
