REALITY BYTES

The show is called “Hell’s Kitchen” and it certainly is, the show from hell. This reality show is into it’s fourth season right now and has everything to do with a boot camp for chefs and aspiring chefs, that want to reach the pinnacle of success. The drill instructor has been awarded 12 Michelin stars, for knowing his way around successful kitchens, with culinary ease. He is the drill sergeant from hell, Gordon J. Ramsay.

Ramsay is a Scottish chef, who has a real hit show on his hands, with Hell’s Kitchen. You can’t really call it a cooking show, because we never really learn any recipes for the gourmet dishes that the chefs on the show prepare; and maybe this is a good idea! If Ramsay thinks most of the chefs dishes suck, then there might be something to this. What we do walk away with though, is a real bitter taste for what it takes to be a great chef; Gordon Ramsay style.

What draws our attention to tune into Hell’s Kitchen is, watching Chef Ramsay lose his temper. This happens a lot. Ramsay will throw food at the chefs, swear at them, call them names that get bleeped out of the audio portion, etc. Ramsay’s favorite disparaging term to call a contestant is, “donkey”. Is there a method to this madness? Does it matter? After all, what are TV viewers really tuning into Hell’s Kitchen to watch?

This season on Hell’s Kitchen, we have seen 15 contestants enter this Kitchen from hell. At the present time, there are only 6 left in the kitchen. Every week, another contestant gets eliminated from this competition.

The grand prize this season, is being the head chef at one of Chef Ramsay’s restaurants. There is only a few more short weeks in Hell’s Kitchen left to see. Hell’s Kitchen airs at 9 pm, Tuesdays on the Fox network.
