| | I'm not trying to make a concrete statement about anything - I'm only hypothesizing. This thread is based entirely on a funny observation.
That being said, if you think these guys aren't stoned....you're stoned. |

But you couldn't tell from his demeanor.
He has always acted that way according to a friend.
The pain killers would just make it look like he has a reason for the Jeff Spicoli-speak.

| | You can generally figure out who will be in the top 6 after like the second episode... the way Dave was, I knew he was going to be a finalist.
He was the only one who was at least good or competent on a consistant basis.
The wiki keeps a decent update on the winners of each season |

Oh, and the only one from all seasons I saw that had the ability to command a kitchen was Rock. | If you let Robert run it or the stoned guy Dave Same Thing====== A Total Fiasco.

| | i've never watched ****'s Kitchen mostly because I haven't the patience for it but after reading this thread I am curious. I think we have been through some employees that watch a little too much of it and think that's the way to work in a kitchen... |

| | Winning Hells Kitchen, a How to.
These are the steps.
Learn how to cook risotto, as quickly as possible.
Learn how to cook rack of lamb.
Learn how to saute fish/scallops.
Learn how to cook a wellington.
Learn a handful of 'signature' dishes.
Learn how to cook pasta.
I'm most likely missing one of the 'standards' but that just about covers the services. You might lose a quickfire or two but you should never screw up a service. |

| | I don't watch the show, so I don't know if the winners are pot-heads or not. All I know is that, in the handful of times I've cooked after smoking weed or doing coke or w/e, everyone that ate the food that wasn't in the same mind-state I was in said it sucked. Drinking isn't as bad, but I'm still a much better cook when the only things in my system are caffeine and nicotine.

| | I use it for a humor outlet. Great comedy, When it gets serious like the final six or whatever I generally stop watching.
No one I know thinks it portrays what really goes on. And on some level people should be disgusted of what is being conveyed. Especially Ramsay's character on the show. |
