This week on Hell's Kitchen, the gang takes a field trip, learn some life lessons about meat and where our food comes from, and we get to enjoy the juicy squishy sounds of vomit. Hope you have those barf bags ready Gasmii!!
Time for the weekly bitch/smoke session. Hot topic tonight? Ji was a wonderful warrior. The sun shone from her ass. Discuss among yourselves. Andrea is particularly fired up about this, telling her team that Ji at 50% is better than SOME of the people here at 110%. Team building at its best.
She's jabbing her finger in Colon's direction as she's saying it, but Colon is a smart cookie. Just smile and wave, Colon, smile and wave. Still itching for some sort of fight, Andrea turns her focus away from Colon and on to PrettyGirl.
"I'll tell you what, you had a saving grace tonight, and you better fucking prove yourself." PrettyGirl doesn't like the way that was said, informing Andrea, "You just turned on your bitch switch." Andrea's basically like you're fucking right I did, and you hit it every time.
PrettyGirl doesn't think this is going to help the fucking team. Andrea asks us why PrettyGirl couldn't have twisted HER ankle. Ouch. And hahaha.
Coi joins in about "proving yourself" and "do you really think you deserve to be here". They're going on about how they lost one of the strongest people on their team, and Colon is cracking me up here. She's all dum de dum dum dum, I will not make eye contact, please don't let anyone look over here.......
PrettyGirl has had enough and wants to know if they just want her to quit right now. No? "Then shut the fuck up about it. Seriously." Well said, PrettyGirl. I don't think I'll be agreeing with you often, but this time I do.
We are told by C&A that the chefs finally go to bed at three in the morning, which, whatever. I'm sure they turned in late, but the film we are shown of them at three shows them all sleeping. I'm pretty sure it takes some time to fall asleep.
Fast forward to six. Scott and Gloria go crashing through the dorms banging on cow bells and yelling at everyone to get up. Ben tells us it's two fucking early o'clock. Ha. Cute. But also? Boo hoo hoo, shut up Ben.
Yes, I'm sure having a cow bell for an alarm is no picnic. Know what else sucks as an alarm? A three year old. Putting his face an inch away from yours and saying, "Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy" until you want to throttle him kiss and hug him. Sorry, I just had a flashback. TO FIVE FUCKING AM THIS MORNING.
Deep Breath.
There are sights in the dorms that I do not need to see....
I may be scarred for life. Really show? This is the second week in a row that we have to see these people first thing in the am. Please stop.
They run outside and get into the inconspicuous Hell's Kitchen vans. Time for a little road trip.
When they arrive at the "undisclosed location", Scott has a few questions for them. Does anyone have a heart condition? No. Is anyone afraid of heights? WTF?? No. I have a question - does anyone else have the hots for Scott? No? Good. Stay away from him all of you.
He throws some duffel bags at them and tells them to get completely dressed, and that they should each grab a barf bag.
PrettyGirl wants to know why she needs a barf bag. "What the hell am I going to see that I need a barf bag?"

why was giovanni sleeping on the couch in the living room?? doesn't he have his own bed?
maybe robert was snoring too loud

also, the white wire on robert is his mic.. looks like they hooked it on him last second cuz in the next scene it isnt visible
2 of 20 | Posted by angelbayyb | Posted on February 22, 2009 2:18 PM
Yep that was Robert's mic. Everyone has a mic on them so you can hear everything they say. In addition to 24/7 video surveliance from multiple hidden cameras and two or three camera crews they are wired up.
Yep the offal wouldn't have been seasoned or cooked to be tastefull. It's what they feed the students in some culinary schools to cause the non serious students to rethink their choice of carear and a lot of the class does barf.
Colleges have classes that like to shock you about the reality of what you are studying such as the room full of skulls or grab something from a tank full of liquid. With the something being a human body part.

“Sorry, I thought it was opposite day” In that screen cap, Seth looks like Zach Braff to me…and that isn’t a compliment. I think it’s the weak chin.
Where does Hell’s Kitchen get restaurant guests willing to eat the practice food coming out of the kitchen…and often leave without having been fed because the kitchen closes early after Ramsey gets sick of his minions screwing up? That would really be a sucky place for a date…

They either come from people who know people at Fox and the affiliated companies or they respond to craigslist ads.
Now they get lots of free wine or other compensation so people aren't that upset plus when they do work things out the food is of exceptional quality with certain dishes that are quite rare to find in US restaurants. It's food worth hundreds of dollars.
John Dory is an imported fish for example that is rarely served in the states.

PottyMouth, I'll help you out with the Wince country question. Napa is the Northern wine country while Santa Ynez is the southern wine country in Santa Barabra county. The movie Sideways was shot on location in the Santa Ynez valley.

"... looks like Texas has more cattle than Nebraska ..."
Texas has more cattle per capita than people. (Thanks, Jeopardy!)
Most, if not all, of those cows are more evolved than the frat boys that live in my apartment complex here in Austin.
Great recap!

Did anyone else see someone who at least resembled Kristy Swanson ordering food in the dining room?

Could we all pass a hat and take up a donation to have PrettyGirl sent off to exile in a hog farm?

Does it say something bad about me that even after watching the offal pukefest that I still went out and had a steak dinner this weekend? It was ribeye, it was medium rare, and it was spectacular!!!

This is just my opinion, but if we can put up with Bret Michaels saying that everything is "awesome", we can sure as @#$* put up with Gordo saying that everything is "amazing".

Great recap Potty Mouth!
The screencap of Robert with "Bessie" had me spewing tea on my computer.
And my favorite moment of the night - JP's impersonation of Pretty Girl - OMG I had to back that up and run it about 12 times.
Strikes me they are keeping Seth for comedic relief, but what the hey - between him and Pretty Girl the entertainment level is high.
I was distracted at the end by the "tin foil" in Charlie's beard (at least that was my first thought).
Yeschef, thanks for the offal info (say that 3x fast)- I did not know that about culinary school, but I can see how it would weed out the less serious.
Thanks Potty Mouth - keep 'em coming!

And why the heck was GRAM crawling up Giovanni's ass about the rare steak being cold in the center? Um, dude? It's SUPPOSED to be!!! A truly, properly cooked rare steak has a cool red center. Jeez, nobody knows what 'rare' is anymore... If GRAM thinks that's wrong, I am never, ever going to eat at one of his restaurants...
Yes, Santa Ynez is fertile and full of lovely grapes. Best kept secret until 'Sideways' ruined it and now everybody goes there... sigh!

"And why the heck was GRAM crawling up Giovanni's ass about the rare steak being cold in the center?"
Rewatch again. It was too rare. It was basically uncooked with only the surface being slightly cooked. It was red throughout not just the center.
Hence Gordon saying it was blue. Blue rare or very rare is the offical terms. Also known as Blood rare.
Rare is actually slighted warm in the middle with a red center.

You guys are both awesome AND amazing! :)
angelbayyb: I was thinking it must be a snoring issue, too.
yeschef: You always have the scoop! I had never heard of the offal challenge at culinary schools - what if someone's a vegetarian? Yikes!
cattyfan: I always thought that the people that go there to eat go less for the food and more for the chance of being on TV.
FreewayShark: Thanks! I am woefully uneducated when it comes to wine.
LisaMay: Sign me up for that! Love him!
jennaboa: hahahaha. I just got a vision of mooing fratboys!
rubinia: I didn't see her, but several people told me that they did.
Snortles: I'll put a buck into the hat.
wintersux: Sounds delish! Overcooked for me, but delish anyway!
njgasmifan: That clip never gets old!
killbondnow: I personally would have loved the cold-in-the-middle steak; I always have to tell them I want mine mooing to get it remotely the way I want it!
Thanks so much for reading and all your fabulous comments! You guys are the best!
SWAK, PottyMouth

Since culinary schools have to teach food prep such as meat and part of cooking is tasting it vegetarians either don't go to culinary school in the states or Europe or most places in the world or they are only vegetarian at home and not at work unless they work in a vegetarian restaurant.

PottyMouth, LOL, thanks for the PrettyGirl blowjobface tribute! I would have seen it sooner but I was in L.A. this past weekend and am just now catching up. You are a sweetie!
love, J-Mo :)

Yum, indeed. :)
