The Gordon Ramsay show. I have seen quite a few.
So to outline it, first he goes in and eats the food, he always says it is disgusting with very few exceptions.
Another thing is that he knows when he is seved something out of a microwave, and also has found things served that are hot on the outside yet cold on the inside.
That brings us to my first question - Has ANYONE ever gone to a restaurant and found the food cold on the inside ? Not never have but usually I don't order baked things except for pizza.
I would not order say - lasagna at a restaurant because quite frankly mine is better. Same with the pasta dishes like spaghetti etc. Now if I had to make it for a restaurant I would get small pans that make enough for two servings, put it all together and NOT bake them right away. Those go in the microsecond an order is placed. All the other stuff comes next. If too much accumulates then offer it for one day at half price as long as it holds out.
I disagree with Ramsay on a few things, like spaghetti sauce, you can freeze it. In fact at the house when we made a big vat we separated the meat out. it freezes fine and thaws fine.
That is not to say everything does.
Anyway, then he goes in the kitchen and watches a bunch of people who never figured out how to organise the place. Working haphazardly and not paying attention.
Then he goes into the reefer units and freezers and finds rats, roaches and birds, whatever. He says shuit it down. Then some lameo tells them to go home. Anyone with an ounce of brains would put some thought into it; Sorry folks, stop eating. We have a serious problem in the kitchen and must close now. We do not want sick customers, so pick up a [whatever] on the way out and it is a discount coupon for when we solve the probem".
Then he plays shrink, marriage counselor and drill instructor. He throws the menu straight out and instead of 100 items they got like 20. Much easier to keep stock for I guess, eh ?
Any thoughts ? Do you want to just go to a random place now knowing how bad it can be ?
Just some random Friday night thoughts. RSVP if you feel like it.
And by the way I am a total slob, except for when cooking. When cooking I do not like food sitttng out uncovered for more than few seconds. When cooking I wash my hands all the time. I observe the rules about meat and what goes on the chopping block.

What a truly despicable person (I refuse to call him a man. Real men don't act like that).
