Gordon Ramsay’s LA Restaurant Won’t Be A Kitchen Nightmare

According to Serious Eats, the New York Post has reported that neither Hell’s Kitchen contestant will really be the Executive Chef at Gordon Ramsay’s new LA “The London” restaurant.

Do you honestly think, my sweet pea, that I’m going to be that stupid and that vulnerable? That I would stick my ass to the window and give one of them a chance to run that restaurant, which is a multi-million [dollar] investment? One of them will be part of an amazing team, put in the deep end. But they will definitely not be running the room.” For the record, the winner will be called an executive chef, but in fact will be one of 65 chefs responsible for all hotel meals, including breakfast, lunch, high tea and dinner…

I’ve got to say I was a bit concerned with all of this season’s contestants as most of them didn’t seem skilled enough to run one of Ramsay’s restaurants, let alone cook the line at a TGI Fridays.

Even though I’ve been rooting for Christina Machamer, and feel she was the most qualified out of this season’s losers, she’s hardly experienced enough and still has much to learn.

All in all, this season didn’t stand up to past season’s and Top Chef made it look like kindergarden. But it still remained my weekly guilty pleasure.
