In that case...you should pay him for it...Fair is fair :)

I would be a terrible teacher, but no, a student. They were trying to get me to fight this other kid, and he kept shouting "Fight him!" then he pushed me into the kid they wanted me to fight. I guess he was trying to do that thing where you put a wasp and a spider into a jar then shake it up and watch them fight, but i turned and popped him in the mouth.

so... You want a knuckle sammich? it's got lots of chipotle flavored whup-ass, mixed with some smack-down relish.


:D

I haven't had a fight since early on in high school.

Listen to Mother, Zero.

I don´t do that kinda stuff for free, u know.:o

And then what? You got your ass kicked, right? The whole crowd turned against you, right? Right?;)

LOL

That is so sexy............me next.

"I'd buy that for a dollar!!"

(who can name the source of this quotation??)

Robocop?

I second that.

"Can I have you both?!"
"Sure! We've had our shots!"
"I'll buy that for a dollar!"


the criterion collection version of that movie has a commentary with paul verhoven and the screenwriter. The screenwriter said he was on an elevator a while before they did the dvd, and the door was closing. a guy held it for another guy who was running up to it, and when the runner got in he said thanks! I'll buy that for a dollar.

He said he was shocked that people were actually still using that line, it was written in as a nonsense filler, just stupid background noise, basically.

nah, its french/soul food infusion. we have a really weak thai dish, that I'm hoping will be taken off the menu (we change every season) but all our meats are really nice/ smoked daily. We get better fish here than I did working in a resort beach side town. Changed managment so this now guy thinks I'm a veteran and only know saute' (I've only been there a month) so I have to show that I can indeed work all the stations and again suddely show that Im as strong a baker as I am on hot side. Its a little harder (to show off the baking/ making desert specials) now b'cause it seems I'll never get off the sauce station. (Im really bad ass ;) ) It was really hard when I first moved here because no one knows me, so I'm thinking with Saffire under my belt I can move on to a kitchen down town. There is this rum bar in Nashville that has based its whole menu on rum. That would be really fun for me to learn seeing how its my fav and all. But I'm still learning the wine list @ saffire and I haven't learned everything yet, no matter how amazing I am. In the spring I want to head out west, see the desert and northern cali/ washington oregon. Then move on to B.C./ Victoria and after that possibly Hawiee then sell all my assests and move to europe and do the final tuning of my skills. I'll probably be close to 40 at that time, mid thirties if I can get it all done in ten years by which time I'll take over the world via the best sense.... taste! mwa ha ha ha. Im really stoned/ranting/procrastinating oh yeah and chef TOTALLY took credit for my special, freakin' lame! Ive made recipies for places before, but I ran the first hot entre special in 4 years @ that joint and mike takes credit.. man! it feels good to let that out.

my spelling is a travisty, I apologize profusly

where ya working cheebs?

BAck to your station!

Sorry. watched hell's kitchen last night:)

yeah I've been watching it too and its got me thinking.... I've worked under mean/intimidating people before, but not like that. Gordon was like training them to be pit bulls at the helm. The just need to learn to comunicate and he/gordon isn't a communicator. anyways uh what I was thinking was are all western big time, top chefs like that?

he communicates.

Just very loudly, and doesnt wait for an answer. :)

Shoving a pen up your ass was that good?

:confused:

Cheeba is a loser. Needs to grow-up. I haven't been here for what ? almost six months ?

And you are still talking shit to people and making more enemies. Wow, what a life you must have. haha :D

For the record. Cheeba has deserved to be banned Numerous times. The mods have no control. Mean while all the good posters have left because of all the immature flame wars.

And we all know, Cheeba is the biggest flamer at HDC ;)

The Northwest is great. I haven't been to Washington yet, but Oregon is beautiful, and NorCal is a great place to stay. Even if you don't settle here permanently....which I did.:)

Amen

You're not worth responding to, disposable.

I think Gordon's a communicator...I mean, he's pretty blunt, but he seems to get the point across, but then you never REALLY know someone in that sense until you've worked with them.

Where I'm working now? Not the last place, dumped that...wasn't really going anywhere. Good menu, but no creative outlet.
Right now I'm sticking to study fulltime, doing two days a week at the restaurant we front for the college...it's funny, its better hands-on experience than my last occupation was, and we actually get input in the menu.
I'm liking the sauce thing myself too, can't say I'm designated to any given position as such, we tend to rotate, but I do a lot of cooking at home to (gotta stay in practice), and yeah...always trying new things, and no sauce comes near what you make yourself, as you'd know.
Lately I've been considering the path of private catering as an actual occupation...seems that there's an equal calling for that, as many oppertunities, and I'd be able to get started with something to call my own much quicker. Of course, the studies will be complete, and I'll still be a qualified chef, just work in a slightly different role, and for myself.

An Order of the British Empire was awarded to foul-mouthed, drink driving TV celebrity chef Gordon "Fuck Off" Ramsay earlier this year.

Each one of these creatures has their distinguising 'thing' that sets them apart from the other salad-tossers - Jamie with his mockney phrases and slobbery lips, Keith and his alcoholism, Ainsley's black skin - but Officer Ramsay has received this honour essentially because he aggressively swears like a sailor on TV, and the public love it.

:confused:

but i remember an earlier show of Ramsay's - where he went around the UK finding little pubs and cafes and helping people make them better - he was gentle and encouraging and nice and patient. . . what the hell happened to him when he got to hell's kitchen (or was that all an act???)

He realised high-profile swearing was lucrative from a mind-fried public of couch potatoes.

And indeed, it has done well for him.

Of course now it is impossible for Ramsay to stop cursing or his appeal will drain away like so much vegetable water. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a "fuck" quota for each show.

Uh, he DID blow up numerous times on that show...I remember him blasting a guy for accepting mouldy tomatoes/strawberries from a supplier, and the guy was working as a head chef...that's a big issue, and the dude had it coming...but then again, so did the brainless owners, completely innept in every way as I recall, at least in the particular episode I am referring to.

Tv chefs, there's a few different classes when you look at them...there's the ones that are a little more sensationalist or hyped, and tend to take the "tv spotlight" (oliver, ramsey, ainsley), then there's those that have the shows that more or less work as cooking lessons (eg - rick stein, neil perry, nigella lawson).
I personally prefer the latter, they seem more into cooking, and less into "tv"...although I appreciate them all for shifting attention back towards a largely lost art.

I find ramsay entertaining The American Hell's Kitchen is jam packed with arrogant jerk-offs who think they are god's gift to the culinary world, and Gordon destroys them. He is very good about rewarding them for doing well, but vicious when the screw up.

I love seing big egos crushed like ants.

And like Simon Cowell on American Idol, it usually takes a 'no-nonsense' Englishman to do the job.

:)

Simon... Gordon...
200 years ago, we kicked you out of the country (technically, you kicked you out of the country...), now we are importing as many of you over here as we can to yell at us on tv.

i love irony :)

Indeed - we can't leave you alone for five minutes.

From our good buddy ShankS:
http://horror.com/forum/showthread.p...hlight=america

OMG, I forgot about that! That was so funny!

I miss Shanksie

It's the kind of thing that, as an American, you want to hate, but it is SO dead on....

then there is this:

Yes, I think America was crafted by the rest of the world as an idyllic promised land... and things just got out of hand as it became (allegedly) self-aware.

No wonder Australia is shitting itself.

:cool:

the self aware line got me thinking
"on july 4th, 1776, America became self aware. In their panic, the English tried to pull the plug. America retaliated by launching it's nuclear missles against russia."

"The Americator"

if Americans were self-aware i don't think there would be all these problems!

What happend to Shanks anyway?...fun poster

....he deleted his avatar and just disappeard :confused:

He was eaten by cannibals for real.

lol





i knew that wasn't fake

Then he got flipped--flipped for real.

Vod- I thought that all those kids were misfits, but top chef had some real talent. As for Gordon, if he did that kind of yelling in his kitchen and a daily to his line cooks and chefs, they wouldn't be able to preform. You have to have 'the flow' which as I stated before is very simular to the force. you have to stay organized and communicate with those working around you in order to insure proper and even ticket times. I wouldnt want my grill guys rare tuna to hit the window even a minute before one of my pastas. So we talk "hey man you selling 35? or, what temp is your fish at?' Then you have to know to brase the salmon before you start the hand sauce because of the cook times, always have back ups, and those kids on hell's kitchen have never worked the line and wouldn't know about that. except that chick from new york, but with gordon yelling at her she seems to 'get in the weeds' or get behind. But now hes got himself in a predicament, you have that one chick with the great pallete but she would have no idea how to place an order or jump on the line if there was a problem. she could make a special but would have no feel of the flow in order to make it functional for a station. Then you have that other chick who is a superb line cook but wouldn't be as creative as other girlie.

-ms olivia, are you talking about north carolina? its lovely but wouldn't be much different (culinary wise) from what Im doing here.

cheebs- catering is a good gig. adter walk the line came out and did so well it made some people hungry for more mullah and the powers that be have decided to make a hank willams movie. My friend happens to know the director of photography and hes is super cool and asked me to do the catering! Amanda and I have been discussing a business, relaxation parties. She is a massage therapist and me being a chef and all, well. we figure even with the partys, there is also side business, people wanting a massage, or a cooking lesson, party catered or even a evening/morning chef (lots of very rich and famous people here not much private chef, massuse market) we could make a bit of money on the side. Working in a kitchen (commercial kitchen) can be pretty thankless and then the public thinks its all foh and sometimes forgets about the kitchen, but with catering, you really have a chance to make a name for your self. People know its you and the word will spred pretty fast. Keep you options open, give a private class or two. Do something special that people don't see very often like the menu for your catering service and once you get a few people excited about you call the local paper and have them do a human intrest piece about you. Thats my big plan anyways, or the advice Ive chosen for me. Since you are no where near me feel free to give it a try. no harm in sharing ;)

ms olivia, are you talking about north carolina? its lovely but wouldn't be much different (culinary wise) from what Im doing here.


LOL no, I was talking about Northern California, sorry.
Lake Tahoe is a must see too.:p
