So excited!!!

"loves pink meat" oh gordon you bad boy

I love him!!! So glad you posted this. I didn't know the new season was starting.

Can't wait.

And so glad he opened a restaurant in LA, much closer for me because I'm dying to try out his food.

I wish I could go to the Hell's Kitchen restaurant, wouldn't it be a great story?!

yay, cant wait.

at least they've changed the prize up a little bit. i think that they may want the prize a bit more knowing that it's going to be as a chef in a restaurant that will get a lot of patrons when it opens as opposed to the vegas place. the chick that won and was at the red rock - that's a good gig - but maybe not as prestigious

I find him so attractive and scary at the same time. All excited about this show's return.

I love this show, I can't wait!!

Chef Ramsey can cook in my kitchen any day. Seriously, though, I think if he was yelling at me, half of me would be scared, and half of me would just want to make out with him. That's so wrong.

"Seriously, though, I think if he was yelling at me, half of me would be scared, and half of me would just want to make out with him. That's so wrong."

Half me would want to yell back, the other half...makeout with him.

I'm gaga over Gordon (although I am happily married)! Love Hell's Kitchen, love all the cooking shows, competion, anything to do with food equals fun for me.

I really love the Gordon we get to see on the original British Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. On those shows, more than on HK or the American Kitchen Nightmares, you get to see the side of him that truly wants to help and that has such an AMAZING passion for food, and it helps make his tirades somewhat more understandable.

Still, even though I can see where the anger comes from, I don't want to really justify his abusiveness. There's something about Gordon that I think makes many want to excuse his viciousness, but if it were someone else or if it weren't on national TV, he could easily find himself on the wrong end of harassment suits with no problem. I just have to tell myself that people coming on his show or working for one of his restaurants MUST know what they're getting into, and have made a willful decision to take what he dishes out in the hopes for furthering their careers.

Nonetheless, I can WAIT until this season starts, and I like that the prize is at his own restaurant this time. I know there have been charges that the first two seasons didn't really get the prize as offered: Michael was supposed to get "the restaurant of his dreams" and then Gordon offered to take him to England to train him personally. According to an interview with Michael I saw, I think during a special FoxRealtiy did where in addition to showing all of the episodes, they added about 15 min to the running time of the show and filled that with interviews with many of the season's participants. Michael said that he and his wife quickly found that the London gig wasn't going to work for them, so they ended up giving him all the kitchen equipment that had been used on the show - and then rented it back from him for the 2nd season! (LOL) Heather was supposed to be the Executive Chef at one casino restaurant and ended up as the Senior Chef - a lower position - at a different restaurant in the same casino. Rock, from what I understand, though, DID get the prize as it was promised, and I hope that since the new winner will be working at Gordon's own place, he'll follow through on the prize appropriately.

Brown Eyed,

I completely understand. Part of me wants to spank his tushie with a spatula in a fun sort of way, but the other part wants to rap him over his maddening head with a Lodge cast iron skillet!

i love this show!

Nice interview.
