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?

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:

Marigold, he has taken it off the menu. I learned that from one of your recent posts, ha ha! It may have showed up on one order in episode 1 but it is gone. As they say on BRAVO, "Watch what happens." I predict that there will be a big blowup when chefs can't produce decent Beef Wellington, which causes Ramsay to decide that Beef Wellington is gone. Also learned form that same post, he considers it to be the easiest dish on the menu, so if specific chefs can't make it right that raises some serious issues about them. We will not see this week because there is no Hell's Kitchen 5 this Thursday due to the NAACP Image Awards.

:lol: It's OK, what's a message board if we don't encourage different opinions? (And it IS Hell's Kitchen we're discussing!) :hellkitchen
Thanks again for posting the insider knowledge. Now we know who's got the Beef Wellington and where it's being served!
I hope you continue to share what you can with us! Thanks again for posting. :hrt:
