This is one of the funniest, yet most dramatic shows around, an exemple of expert edition. I like good trash, and this definitely is.
But, come on, in terms of high cuisine this doesn't fly too high. Since the show's very first episode, the menu at HK's didn't change: Scallops, risotto, Wellington meat etc. One wants to succeed here, he just have to learn to cook these limited dishes to perfection - et voila!
Depending of course what 'perfection' means for an english audience, used to boiled sausages à la menthe. I've got this idea that Mr Ramsey like his meat more done than art would command - but whatever, he gives a heck of a show, and that's why he's still here 19 seasons later.
