Gordon Ramsay [1]'s Los Angeles restaurant, the London [2], opened last night with a star-studded dinner service. However, the cheftestants from Hell's Kitchen [3] 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 [4]:

• 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?
