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.

Well, if nothing else, I'm sure Dave was zoned-out on pain pills.

True.
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 really? I'll have to check that out. I've been curious to see how they've come along.

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...

I know...and pretty stupid TV at that, which is why I started the thread with a funny observation and not a serious criticism. As heated as this discussion might get, I doubt that anyone on this forum has any serious emotion invested in the show.

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.

Hahahaha, you got that right. In any given episode the word RISOTTO is shouted at least 17 times.
