Time was when I was the biggest Hell’s Kitchen fan, like, EVER. Nothing filled me with giddy joy like Chef Gordon Ramsay dumping a plate of undercooked risotto on an inexperienced cook’s chest and screaming, “DO IT AGAIN, YOU FUCKING DONKEY!!”
But then? I don’t know… for some reason Chef Ramsay and I grew apart, and the repetitiveness of the show began to grow tiresome. THAT IS, UNTIL LAST NIGHT!
In the waning moments of yesterday’s two-hour season premiere episode, Long Island goombah-wannabe Joseph stepped on Chef Ramsay’s last nerve and WHOA NELLIE! Is there gonna be a kitchen slap fight, or what? (Seriously, I don’t know. Because they’re not going to show it until next week. BASTARDS!!) Anyway, insecure male posturing doesn’t get much better than this!
Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.) More by Wm. Steven Humphrey
First question, real or staged swaggerin?
Second question, who do you want to win?
what a jamook
Without the lion roaring sounds, I’d have no idea they were angry at each other. Thanks, reality TV editing!
Oh, yay, the 25 year old goodfella wannabe is going to get his throat kicked in by the 45 year old ex footballer.
Ramsay would drop him like a ton of bricks.
Hell’s Kitchen is entertaining TV, but I’d much rather watch Kitchen Nightmares (original BBC version)
