:confused:

I was in a episode few years ago, I was one of the farmers who was setup at the mock farmers market.

 

The one they filmed in Cranbury at Hanna and Masons, which now is closed.

 

Gordon Ramsey and I chatted  for a bit, dudes cool. He actually gave me a hug.

 

He made a dish with my eggs and said they were the best he ever had

that link goes to one of the restaurants featured on the show, and they are geting slammed for their appearance... lol I havent seen this episode yet

As is the case with "reality television" KN is largely staged and the predominant type of restaurants that agree to be featured is the one's that have little choice or alternitive and is willing to agree to the outrageous demands and altered reality of the show.

Ramsey has become the Donald Trump of the food world.....once respected but now merely a cartoon character.I would not put much stock on what appears on that program.

I saw that episode.  Amy was Batshit Crazy!

the restaurants are real.. some go on to stay open.. others close.. that is the premise of the show.. so I am not sure what more beyond that really matters?

I thought this was going to be a thread about my wife trying to cook..............        

I don't know if you've ever watched the BBC version but I like it way more.  

Wife and I DVR it. That facebook page is exactly what I expected to see following the season finale. Hilarious!

 

Also, I know it's all staged, doesn't make it any less entertaining.

I think the BBC version is too laid back.  It can get boring quickly.

 

I applied to be a diner on the last go-round of filming in NJ last year or two but never heard back.

 

Speaking of Gordon, I'd love to know the long-term outcomes of the Hell's kitchen winners.  Most of the contestants are obviously idiots, so how do they work out as head chefs of established restaurants at a high salary.  I'm guessing either not too long or just kept in the kitchen until a contract is over.

I'm also curiious how the diners manage to get reservations.  Do they advertise a filming and people just show up?  Do they have to pay as with a normal dinner?

From what i've read,   The promised head chef jobs are rarely that - usually an internship of some sort at the big name restaurant.

GR's record is about 40% still open as of late last year....The diners in most cases after the reno is gathered from the owners friends and family, before the reno, the customers come from culinary schools, college cooking classes and some locals after answering a questionnaire. Most if not all are coached for continuity.

I meant the Hells's Kitchen diners.  The ones that show up all dressed up in LA so they can wait 2 hours to get their rizzotto.

...That I don't know but if it's close to the NY area anyone on the ex student email list of ICE,French Culinary,Art Institute and CIA gets a notice asking if they would be interested in filling the seats and no, they don't pay, they only have to show up at the allotted time.

I think its more true to life instead of how they just prop everything up for american tv.
