Gordon Ramsay's Los Angeles restaurant, the London, opened last night with a star-studded dinner service. However, the cheftestants from Hell's Kitchen were nowhere in to be found. This makes me wonder if the HK prize — to be chef of the London — is a little exaggerated. Perhaps they merely get to be a line cook there? Items from the menu are far more sophisticated than the dishes made on the reality show. The menu includes:
- Baked foie-gras custard, crispy duck tongue, micro greens
- Monkfish with crispy chicken skin, lemon-thyme consommé
- Smoked pork belly with roasted Scottish langoustine, celeriac, and apple
For some reason I can't imagine Bobby, Jen, or Corey making any of these dishes. What do you think? Does one of the HK contestants really work at the London?

Well, in the interest of continued viewing, I'm sure they're not going to show who "won" until the show is over.
And no, I can't see any of the contestants cooking those dishes unless someone else is watching over them.
Did that say "Monkfish with crispy chicken skin"!?!?
