Ramsay, Rock, and Ridiculous [Claims by FOX]

On a preview for FOX's new fall culinary series they describe Gordon Ramsay as "...the most successful restaurateur on the planet" Now I like GR, I'm definitely a Ramsay supporter. In fact he's a great model of a tv chef- a rare breed in fact who is both A) a household name in food for his name calling and in your face sarcasm and B) his success of actual fine dining restaurants. He has a plethora of restaurants in the UK as well as all over the world including Tokyo, Dubai, and right here in NY with his recent Gordon Ramsay at The London.

But I didn't know his glory and success was a hard fact that FOX could proclaim. Come on now, it is FOX though. But really if FOX can say that, than why can't I proclaim other non facts that are truth to me?? Well, here goes: " I am the perfect specimen of a chefwife" Haha. I had to.

I am looking forward to his US version of Kitchen Nightmares. I guess the network got one thing right: Americans love their heartwarming stories and it seems this show will be filled with them. Many hugs and kisses and thank-yous for Ramsay, I'm sure I'll be crying by the second episode.

In other GR news, the conclusion of Hell's Kitchen was Monday night and I am happy to say that Rock is your season 3 winner. I have been rooting the strong and no nonsense executive chef since the beginning. I expect he'll be adding much more to his repertoire than the Green Valley Ranch Resort in Las Vegas. Gordon Ramsay Impressive website. Very thorough. Great bio.

The Power of Rock

With only one more episode of Hell's Kitchen left I am delighted to say that Rock made it to the final 2. Furthermore, there is no doubt in my mind that the executive chef will take it all over the nanny/personal chef from Agoura 'like whatever' Hills, CA.

I also couldn't have been more elated when Rock gave a shout out to his beautiful chefwive.

After having words with Jen in the previous service, Rock takes the time to pull her aside. "...Whatever happened I didn't like the way you talked to me but I apologize for what I said, what I did" After a forgiving hug with Jen, Rock follows with, "I am a firm believer in trying to clear the air. I learned that through messing up with my wife" That's right, Rock! He must have also heard the phrase, once given to my chef just before our wedding, "Happy Wive, Happy Life". Oh how true that is.

I was just glad to see that a professional chef recognizes the power of a peaceful workplace and swallowing pride for the greater good. Not to mention the fact that he gave some credit-however small-to his chefwife.

But the best part? After learning that he and Bonnie have become the final 2 he turns around to see his stunning wife. Hugging his wife he wonders if they will have the opportunity for a conjugal. I hope they did.
