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
It may have showed up on one order in episode 1 but it is gone.

:funny: Pffft you are now peddling backwards with more fluff

But, as I said "as SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN THERE"
Beef wellington is on the menu for (all of) season 5 and several were served that night!
--- End quote ---
Oh no you on the contrary have only been nothing but helpful I sincerely thank you for your time and effort

Ramsay comes with his Healthy Appetite
In town for his new book, chef serves up personality, profanities
They came to see the real Gordon Ramsay, and the British celebrity chef did not disappoint.
Wearing his signature, form-fitting black T-shirt and designer jeans, the 42-year-old chef let a few choice expletives fly, titillating his fans – a few of them definitely under the minimum age of 18 for an R-rating.
When interviewer and restaurateur Peter Oliver asked Ramsay if he allowed cellphones in his restaurants, the chef said patrons are asked to leave them at the front desk.
"Anyone who walks into my restaurant and has a telephone on the table I shove it up their a-- sideways," he said at last night's on-stage interview at the Toronto Reference Library, sponsored by The Cookbook Store.
Oliver – who with chef Michael Bonacini owns and operates seven restaurants, including the renowned Auberge du Pommier, Jump and Canoe – aimed his wide-ranging talk to probe beneath the surface of the bombastic Ramsay's TV personality.
On Hell's Kitchen, he regularly flies off the handle to berate and embarrass wannabe chefs.
Ramsay now owns somewhere in the neighbourhood of 26 restaurants, has 10 Michelin stars, six TV shows in production and 16 books published, said Alison Fryer, the manager of The Cookbook Store.
And, when prodded, he told Oliver he thought he had made more than 50,000 British pounds for a motivational speech he gave last year in Portugal.
"For these people here, this is one hell of a deal," Oliver said, referring to the $40 tickets for the sold-out event, which included a copy of the chef's newest book, Gordon Ramsay's Healthy Appetites. A portion of the proceeds are being donated to the Toronto Public Library Foundation.When Oliver asked if there was something in his childhood that could explain his drive, the chef cracked: "I feel like I'm with Dr. Phil.
"In terms of, was I never breastfed or cuddled by my mom?" he retorted. Ramsay then settled down to explain that his will to succeed was instilled in part by his early success at soccer, when he was signed at age 16 to pro team Glasgow Rangers. About two years later he was let go from the team, following an injury.
After playing in front of 90,000 fans at Wembley Stadium in London, the chef said he realized the level of training, devotion and determination necessary to be the very best.
Humber culinary management students Francesco Loberto, 20, and Damien Wilmot, 25, lined up for two hours before the doors opened to make sure they got front-row seats to hear their idol.
"His attitude inspires me because he takes pride in what he does," said Loberto, who not only owns all Ramsay's cookbooks but also plays the video game Hell's Kitchen.
Ramsay's latest book comes hard on the heels of last year's Cooking for Friends and Three-Star Chef, both published in October 2008. He was in Toronto last April to promote 2007's Fast Food.
The man is a machine, pumping out cookbooks, opening restaurants and starring in TV shows at breakneck speed. One of the ways he stays in shape to keep on top of his burgeoning empire is by running.
Ramsay started long-distance training when his father-in-law, Chris Hutcheson, signed him up for the London Marathon in 2000.

No Rest for the Wicked, Ramsay Hits Toronto
It’s going to be a fast and furious stopover in Toronto next week for foul-mouthed celeb-chef Gordon Ramsay as he does the publicity circuit in support of his latest, Healthy Appetite. First up, a sold-out Sunday night appearance hosted by The Cookbook Store where Food Network Canada will be filming the event featuring Q&As and a book signing. Then it’s over to George Stroumboulopoulos for interviewing duties as Ramsay stops by CBC’s The Hour on Tuesday.
The controversial Scottish-born Brit is known for unleashing advanced skills in the art of four-letter cuss words and hosting the popular programs, Hell’s Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, and The F-Word.
He’s also catching all kinds of heat outside of the kitchen. His impressive restaurant empire (which includes Restaurant Gordon Ramsay at Royal Hospital Road, a prestigious three-star Michelin recipient) is rumoured to be going through a serious credit crunch.
Add to this his newly mounted feud with Gwyneth Paltrow’s favourite foodie friend, Chef Mario Batali. According to Page Six, Batali’s camp allegedly called Ramsay’s food “bland and boring” in which Ramsay responded by calling Batali “fanta pants”—a swipe at the Iron Chef America star’s penchant for wearing orange soda-coloured shorts. The molto-sized Batali then retaliated by banning Ramsay from all of his restaurants.
Hey, boys, isn’t it time to end this thing, make peace and break bread already?
