Hell's Kitchen

Raoul wrote a scorching review of the premiere, and I didn't have much too add, so I figured it was out of my life forever.  Well, I somehow I ended up leaving it on after last Tuesday's "Hell's Kitchen." I watched the whole thing, and, to be honest, I loved it. In the second week of the competition...

Gordon Ramsay stopped by Ryan Seacrest's radio show (FOX reality stars, unite!) and chatted about a couple things.   He talked about the over-the-top confrontation with former Marine Joseph in the current edition of "Hell's Kitchen," where Joe threatened to get physical with Chef. I don...

I'm not in love with the idea of Heather running the red kitchen. It's not like I have this great love for sous chef Mary Ann, but Heather annoyed me back when she was a contestant. I'd rather see, say, Rock taking over for Scott. Or maybe that trash talkin' Texan can step into Jean Phillipe's shoe...

Meanwhile, BBC America begins airing the miniseries "Torchwood: Children of Earth" at 9 p.m. It'll be good to see everyone's favorite bisexual practically unkillable alien hunter. At 8 p.m., "Hell's Kitchen" is back for another season of overdone Wellingtons, raw chicken, prolific and in...

This season's ten contestants include a Hollywood caterer, a former Disney World line cook and a black belt real estate broker. Who will be the first to cry when Bob says the Midwestern housewives who haunt his dreams can spot a fake a mile away?

Last week, Chef Ramsay promised that the "Hell's Kitchen" finale this year was the most competitive in the history of the series. And I don't think he was wrong. This was the first time that I could reasonably see either finalist having a legitimate shot at the title. In the end, Chef Ramsay cho...

On whether "Hell's Kitchen" gets old: On the possibility of a "Hell's Kitchen"/"Kitchen Nightmares" crossover: On the worst chef ever to be in "Hell's Kitchen": On the possibility of having stellar chefs try out in "Hell's Kitchen":  On seeing former contestants get a second chance:

Tonight, Stewie Griffin from "Family Guy" makes a hilarious cameo on "Bones," adding some spice to what was otherwise a pretty par-for-the-course episode. It's a crazy idea, but it works.   That got me thinking about crossovers in general. We've had the writers from "CSI" cross over with t...

So does ABC's "Brothers & Sisters." May 11 May 12 May 13 May 14 At 9, "CSI,"" Grey's Anatomy," "Hell's Kitchen," "The Office,"and "Supernatural" all are having season finales. May 15 May 17 May 18 May 19 May 20 A new "American Idol" is crowned at 8 P.M. on FOX.

Remember "The Chopping Block," the new "Hell's Kitchen" meets "Top Chef" cooking show with Britain's Marco Pierre White? It's finally starting tonight at 8:00 on NBC. I say "Hell's Kitchen" and "Top Chef" because those are big shows, but "The Chopping Block" is really an unabashed rip-o...

She doesn't teach other chefs. She teaches a culinary boot camp and figured that she would learn a lot from Ramsay's culinary boot camp. "I knew it was going to be grueling and hard," she said. "It goes without saying. It's 'Hell's Kitchen.'"

We put "24" through its paces. We thought it was pretty hilarious that "CSI" was beat out by a show about wacky nuns...in Germany. We pondered Hosea's "Top Chef" win. We talked to Charlie from "Hell's Kitchen" about making sauce, hitting the sauce, stuff like that.

Last week on "Hell's Kitchen," the chefs had to take turns as servers and cooks. Ultimately, the men lost after steakhouse chef Giovanni botched cooking steaks and Seth displayed more of his dithering incompetence, trimming about three pounds of actually good meat from a tenderloin.

It seems like it's not so uncommon for chefs on "Hell's Kitchen" to end up going to the hospital for cuts, burns, hyper-freakouts or what have you. MSN: Ji, sorry to see you get knocked off of "Hell's Kitchen" last night. MSN: What were your experiences with Chef Ramsay like prior to that?

So we're down to the final two on "Hell's Kitchen." Each of the final three got a chance to expedite, and Christina excelled, Petrozza was alright, and Corey managed to fall hardest for the old sous-chef sabotage routine. So even though Christina was putting up raw fish and burnt fish, Corey...

Bobby: You know, I don't get into why he kicked me off and kept Jen. But my thing is, Jen had a couple go-arounds with Gordon. The ratings like that, the show likes that. I can see a couple more outbursts from Jen and Gordon together. MSN: What do you think the highlight of being on "Hell's Kitchen" w...

Matt: That was the first time I got one on "Hell's Kitchen." Matt: You know what? All the chefs I have a lot of respect for. Chef Ramsay, Chef Scott, Chef Gloria were great. That doesn't bother me. The elements of the show, your fellow contestants, that's more stressful than anything.

This may sound strange, but "The Next Food Network Star" is my favorite cooking reality show. What? Not "Top Chef?" Not even "Hell's Kitchen?" Nope. What I like about "NFNS" is that it breaks the fourth wall. The show recognizes the fundamental truth that cooking reality shows are not really...

MSN: So Rosann, what led you to try out for "Hell's Kitchen" initially? MSN: What would you say was the worst thing about being on "Hell's Kitchen"? MSN: Who do you think is the chef to beat on "Hell's Kitchen" right now? MSN: Why Corey?

Remember how the grand prize of "Hell's Kitchen" has always seemed a little fishy? Well, Gordon Ramsay seems to be putting his money where his mouth is. According to a Fox press release, the winner of this season of "Hell's Kitchen" will be the executive chef of Gordon Ramsay's newest resta...
