So he did die! I knew it.

Bloody Sunday School teachers...

611728 2007-11-15 08:39:00 Sad perspective. He's got the most (equal) number of Michelin stars in history for restaurant excellence.

I'm thinking you never worked in a kitchen - it's one of the toughest work environments, mentally, to survive, and if you do well then you become a king. Which he is in his proffession. A lot of his staff have moved forward to become international successes in their own rights, but as a result of his training.

I think his 150 million NZ$'s worth tells us that he's a success.

The only problem I have with him is his scorn of other celeb chefs, eg Jamie Oliver and Antony Warrall who're both brilliant cooks.

Yes but what you actually see of him on TV is a drama. There's a director. It's not reality. Nobody would watch it otherwise.

611729 2007-11-15 08:40:00 Haven't seen it yet, but since Duchovny has a history of grubby stuff ("Pink? Slippers", from memory), might be worth a watch if you're into that sort of thing.

It's not what I would call 'smutty' if that is what is meant by 'grubby stuff' and 'if you're into that sort of thing' - IMO it has comedic value.

611731 2007-11-15 09:11:00 Metz... it just goes to show how similar your and Ramsay's personalities are aligned. You're both so the same that it's almost unbelievable. Yet true.

He's a bastard. You're the same, metaphorically speaking.

I agree. Any cook (there's only one "chef" in a kitchen - the boss) will tell you that cooking well isn't the difficult bit - it's cooking consistently well. And the simplest food is often the most difficult to get right - just try ordering a 3 egg omelette naturel - and ask for it to be served baverse - and see how a kitchen copes.

The front of the house is critically important to the success of a restaurant. In NZ, waiting tables is seen as a part time or low-end job - and it shows in the service that we've learned to be happy with.

i've never been a fan of Duchovny.
always been a fan of boobs (and there is certainly a lot of them in this show).
could care less about the do gooders being offended, if you can't laugh at yourself or your religion, why bother??
but this show made me laugh out loud (this week and last weeks show), and to me thats just great!

611736 2007-11-16 05:29:00 Thanks tingle - my sentiment exactly. What got the biggest laugh from me was when Duchovny was punched by the 16yo girl......very unexpected! :lol: And the "it's all good" at the end of last nights show. andrew93 (249)
