I watched the first 2 episodes. Pretty entertaining stuff! I was a line chef for 4 years and during that time I had one sous chef who made Gordon Ramsey look like a fucking teddy bear. This guy, (he made us call him 'Duke' :rolleyes: What a fag.) was not only verbally and mentally abusive, but physically too. On eof the dishwashers had to pull a knife on him once because he felt so threatened. Another time Duke rolled a full kitchen cart off food at me as hard as he could and I had both hands full of two trays of potatoes. Another time he threw a pumpkin across the kitchen at me and hit me in the back of the shoulder (I wasnt even looking at him.). He was the sort of guy that would be just fine one minute and then something insignificant could happen and it would just absolutely set him off. We believe he was bi-polar and seldom took his medicine.

Anyways, Gordon Ramsey's an excellent chef. He's treating his chefs with much more respect than Duke would and my guess is that he wont even try to physically hurt them at all. If Duke was stuck in the kitchen with people as incompetent as the ones they have on the show, I'm almost positive he would commit the act of murder... Probably on Dewberry.
