the F-word

in our discovery of the wonderful programming on justin.tv, we have been sucked into a new (for us) Gordon Ramsey show called "the F-word." This appears to be one of his early shows. The show's premise....open a restaurant that served 50 ppl a set 3 course menu and invite a brigade (3-4) amateur cooking enthusiasts to work the kitchen to serve the ppl. The ppl, depending on whether they liked the food/service can opt to pay or not pay for each course. I believe at the end, the brigade with the highest number of ppl out of 150 that paid (3 x 50 dishes) get to come back...and do what, i don't know.

What makes the show more interesting is that other things are weaved into the program. Gordon will have a recipe show down with a friend or other chef where that guest makes their favorite/signature dish and Gordon makes his version and then there is a blind taste test and those 5 ppl choose which one they like better. Then there is also Gordon's reaching out to Londoners to help them get back into cooking and eating well (and fast too). Then there is also a thread of something he is doing usually with his family involved. The ones season we just saw involved his family raising pigs...for slaughter of course. By the way, he has a beautiful family!

Gordon does have a mouth on him, as does most of his friends...but for some reason, it sounds really nice with an European accent (British, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, French). Somehow the accent makes all the words sounds proper. It's pretty funny.

Anyhow, good show, lots of interesting recipes that I hope to get to try someday. How much to i like the show... :) last night..i was dreaming and ppl were all speaking with British accents. :) haha. no cussing though. I suppose i have the subconscious censor on in my brain.

Thanks Gordon for loads of fun and entertainment!!!
