Tell that to the clown who tried to hang himself with a handkerchief, and when he jumped off the chair, a whole string of handkerchiefs appeared, leaving him sitting on the floor surrounded by the knotted handkerchiefs.
As I remember his Great Escape shows, it wasn’t simply trying to recreate foods after having tasted them once. Local chefs and home cooks showed him how to make various dishes and then he applied what he learned by trying to make something new. He did two series of this programme; in the first he traveled around India and in the second he traveled around Southeast Asia. But it is a good show, and it’s as much travelogue as it is cooking show. His F Word programme and the UK version of Kitchen Nightmares are also good. Basically the UK programmes are much better (with much less yelling on his part) than the ones he did for Fox in the US.
That depends on if the Health Inspector realizes there is always room for one more body, if you know what I mean. Yeah, I think you do. So, we’ll just pretend you saw nothing and everyone goes home to their wife and kids…right?
It’s not a matter of room. It depends on how much relish you’ve got on hand.
There would be, if Mother Superior hadn’t bought that Betamax machine.
…so you should immediately move them to the pool, where government inspectors will not notice them for quite a while.
There is nothing remotely funny about clowns.
Tell that to all the people who cheered when the clown committed suicide by seltzer bottle.
Huh?
Regarding Ramsay on MasterChef, he’s mostly mentoring and complimentary. The contestants are home cooks, and he doesn’t treat them as restaurant chef wannabees like on Hell’s Kitchen. He’ll occasionally insult a really bad dish, but he’s not the worst of the three hosts in that regard.
I dont think hes a dick. Ive watched his shows on the BBC channel and hes much nicer on the UK shows. So the dick thing is just a persona for the American shows. Not sure why Americans get the dick, I find it annoying.
Watch Boiling Point, a British documentary from 1998 where you see Ramsay working in his own restaurants and see what you think…
By all accounts he hasn’t been that guy in almost a decade (except on TV).
What I have learned so far:
-
Gordon Ramsay is a prick mostly for American audiences.
-
In the UK he is somewhere between Betty Crocker, an imaginary corporate trade mark, and Mrs Beeton, an accidental syphilytic, and is nicer than Mother Theresa, though that’s no great accomplishment because she was a sadistic bitch.
-
Either “Hi, Opal!” or “Profit!” I’m unclear about the rules.
-
I have a sick sense of humor, but that was really no revelation.
What I have not learned:
- Who else Gordon Ramsay’s tongue lashings has killed. Two is insufficient to make him a serial killer, but enough to make my customer inaccurate.
A couple years ago a woman drowned in a public pool in the Boston area and was not discovered for two days, despite the fact that health inspectors visited the pool on routine inspections between her drowning and the discovery.
Americans just love the dick.
I think that SDMB qualifies as the net.
Yeah, this one cannibal was eating a clown and he turned to another cannibal and said, “Does this taste funny to you?”.
Keith Greene (HK Season 2) died from drowning in The Hamptons in Aug 2012 but it doesn’t sound like there was any indication of suicide.
No, but it can be painless. And bring on many changes. And you can take or leave it if you please.
