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!

It sounds like we have some characters on HK this season. Talk to my publicist?? (Makes you think, did he win??) :lol:
And this:
--- Quote ---"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."

Lordy lord, held down by corporations? :groan:
CAN. NOT. WAIT!!!

An interesting article:
Heat's on again in 'Hell's Kitchen'
Gordon Ramsay is perfectly comfortable having a friendly conversation.
He is a thorough gentleman. Just once, however, you wish he would lose his cool and scream that you're a donkey.
It was during the second season of "Hell's Kitchen" that the famously foul-mouthed chef used the D-word as an insult. Now, as the show launches its fifth season, 42-year-old Ramsay is stuck with a catchphrase.
That's the thing about Ramsay's TV fame: Viewers love to watch him scream, shout and kick things. It kind of puzzles the chef.
"I was doing a book-signing in London, and this man comes up with his children and asks me to write 'Merry Christmas and (expletive) off,' " he says, sounding perplexed. "I can't write that in a book! And he stands in line with his children to ask me this?"
On the other hand, the chefs aspiring to win "Hell's Kitchen" seem to cower in fear at the thought of Ramsay hurling an insult their way. It is part of what makes the show so dynamic: You never know when he is going to blow.
"It's highly emotional and claustrophobic," he says. "To be honest, the closer you get to them, the bigger you can kick their" rear.
And he promises to kick plenty of rear during the new season. It's not merely for the cameras. The winner gets a high-profile job as head chef at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City.
"When I start to see people crack, that's nowhere near the pressure of running your own business, managing a large staff, paying a mortgage, etc," he says. "If you want to aspire to be a great chef, there's a price to pay for that."
Ramsay knows that first-hand. He operates more than 20 restaurants. His books are regular bestsellers.
He knows how to loosen his culinary guard, though.
"I have a craving for In-N-Out burgers," he confesses.
