gordon ramsay has standards you know

I was watching hell's kitchen last night. it is a great television program, I suggest you all watch it. things are really heating up as they go into the final five. I smell individual challenges! we got to see the first sparks of creative control last night as the budding chefs ("former deli manager!" "prison cafeteria worker!" gordon how can you give them a restaurant?) got to devise a three course lunch for gordo (chicken roulade stuffed with salami? how did that win it is disgusting and very 90s calital. then again the competing main involved a tomatillo and smoked ancho demiglace which makes it sound like bobby flay was involved. that is never good.) and then later when they got to contribute a few items to the dinner menu.

my highlight, however, was when one of the aspiring restauranteurs flipped g.r. the bird. now, those familiar with the show or with chef ramsay in general are also familiar with his smoking mouth. he is crass. half the show is bleeped out. but gordon was outraged that this fellow should tarnish the hell's kitchen environment with such crude sign language. OUTRAGED! HE SWEARS THE WHOLE SHOW! BIG SWEARS! AND THEN YELLS AT THIS GUY FOR A FINGER! I LOVE IT!

i'm pretty sure the chicken roulade (stuffed with celery, not salami. were you watching the same show?!?!? it was green inside, not meat-coloured!) won because "gordo" wanted to spend a night on the town with 3 girls rather than the aforementioned ex-con, k-grease and heather, who i maintain had a special relationship with rachel.
foul language, lesbianism, prisoners...it's no wonder i love hell's kitchen. it is my primetime springer fix!

okay there was no celery. who would stuff chicken with celery? the website says salami, tomatoes and garlic. I will conceed that it looked green. maybe green tomatoes, though I remember some spinach. maybe I should call gordon and ask.

regarding your second comment, are you a toddler? just asking
