Who's going to win H3LL's Kitchen?

[Ma Facon]

Hollywood props = Who cares ? Unrealistic media/show

[abefroman]

Are you suggesting Rock and Bonnie are paid actors?

The execution of the meals seems pretty unscripted to me.

Well I bet Rock will win but I honestly can't see either of them winning. The only one I really wanted to win was Julia.

I can't imagine either of them doing a good job as a head chef. At least Bonnie can be trained. Rock has too much attitude and there is too much that is beneath him. I also think he's basically lazy. That isn't a winning attitude for an exec chef to have. Slipshod flows downhill.

No, But the props and cussing are inexcusable. Cooking dried pasta per order ??? If it were fresh made pasta then OK. Scripted, What do you think ? It's a joke. Just like most (reality tv).

I think rock is a better cook/chef but i dont think he will win.

[abefroman]

Good points, I'm going to have to say Rock though, I think he was being lazy to let the other guys dig a grave for themselves and get kicked off. Rock having retaurant experience would do better at running the retaurant than Bonnie

I gotta agree with one of the above posters. I was actually kinda rooting for Julia, but after she got kicked off, i was rooting for Jen. I think Jen would've made a MUCH better chef than Rock. I don't like Rock's attitude.

Rock will win this one tho.. imho, he's got it in the bag, unfortunately.

A chef I used to work for worked with Ramsay when he was at La Gavroche. He says that's pretty much what he's like in a kitchen. So, at least that much is real.

Julia? Come on, she didn't even know what Ahi Tuna was.

I always felt it was Rocks to lose. Personally I thought that Rock and Julia should be co-winners. Rock does the food and Julia runs the kitchen. The only thing Julia lacked was formal culinary training and for the morons that got tossed to denigrate her because oohhh she didn't even know what a french term was, or didn't know what Fois Gras was..... give me a break! Neither did they once upon a time. As far as "Rock being lazy", I don't know. All the others were such drama queens that the focus was on them so you never really saw much from Rock. Yet he never got called out for being short of anything so he must have been doing something right.

Besides, none of them actually get a kitchen. They will work under real Exec.s and learn and one day may truly be Exec's.

In a way Julis IS the winner.
If GR puts her through school, as he said he will, she won big.
She deserves it too.

Actually, we did cook dry pasta to order for a while... it is feasible, as long as it's not insanely busy.

Yes Julia may have had absent spots in her knowledge but her basic skills were incredible:

1. She was organized
2. She could multi-task
3. She didn't get flustered often
4. She didn't have an attitude
5. She learned quickly

When I noticed Rock being lazy is when they would lose and have a task, he would always get other people to do that work. He wasn't into doin manual labor. But then again, maybe that didn't make him lazy, maybe it just made him smarter than the average bear! lol. It just seemed like he didn't pull his weight.

Angle Hair/Feddilini ? What do yopu call insanely busy? We do 3-400 covers nightly and more on the weekends.
