Hell's Kitchen Update

Wow. Another 2 hour episode of non-stop blue team domination. At this point in the competition, it is hard to see anyone one of the remaining ladies making a run for the chef position at Ramsey's restaurant. Ben is now in the drivers seat of the competition I believe. At the end of the second episode when Chef Ramsey called Ben up to switch to the red team, he said that the red team needed a true leader. I previously though that Scott would be able to help lead the read team but that was a complete failure.

The red team lacks any sense of team. It was clear in the competition tonight where each member had to select ingredients and no one could use the same. The blue team was well into cooking before the Red team even figured out who was using what. Individually there are a couple decent at best chefs on the red team. There is no team at all.

It will be interesting to see who can become a consistent chef over the next few episodes. Chef Ramsey looks for consistency and no one chef stands out in this category.

At the end of the show there was a tribute to Ron Stutzman, the technical director of Hell's Kitchen. RIP

Hell's Kitchen 2-Hour episode review

For those of you who watched the 2 hour episode of Hell's Kitchen Tuesday - WOW. This is the second season I have watched of Chef Ramsey and Hell's Kitchen and last night is the best episode that I can remember. Now a lot of people can't stand this show because of how Chef Ramsey treats the contestants. One episode has not been show yet where Chef Ramsey call's one of the contestants a pig. For those of you who don't like the show or Chef Ramsey, I will make 2 arguments to support Chef Ramsey:
  
   1. The man has earned respect in the restaurant industry. He is has been in the industry for ages and a quick search on Wikipedia shows his numerous accomplishments throughout his career. Also, he owns some
of the nicest restaurants throughout the world.

2. Chef's on Hell's Kitchen are competing for a job at one of CHEF RAMSEY'S restaurant. Since Ramsey has established a very high quality for his restaurants, he wants to keep his reputation. He pushes the
competing chef's to their breaking point to see what they can handle. Ramsey wants to hire the very best chef to run his restaurants.

It is hard to pick the strongest candidate at this point because it seems like everyone has messed up in at least one dinner service. As awhole, the teams and individuals are beginning to progress significantly since episode 1.

At this point in the show, I am going to give Scott the slight edge. He has shown that he can be a leader and Tuesday night he showed that he can be a team leader. He also realized that he needs to focus on showing his own skills. It will be interesting to see what side of Scott we see in the next episode.

Stay Tuned and leave some comments on who you see as the leader.
