Step 5 made me laugh out loud.

I would have kicked the plate across the room and screamed "NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!" then told them all "There are no winners tonight - ALL of you can fuck off. "

Yes, Lindsay, we thought by careful examination of the menu we could figure out the Hell's Kitchen winner. But that person is not there yet and the menu is so similar to the other Gordon Ramsays, I doubt that the new chef had anything to do with it. Remember last week when Jena was told her rolled steak would be on this restaurant's menu? It is not. Maybe the menu will change with the seasons and it will show up later.

There was a excellent article in the New Yorker about Ramsay, and the great perfectionist has had several big flops. On his show he seems to have both an innate feeling for what will make a restaurant successful and a rough edged knack for getting owners and managers to face their problems and correct them. So what's up with the London? Is he trying to fail? Also, who knew ducks had tongues? Not me.

Sounds dreadful. Surprising he would let his own, brand-new, restaurant go to hell so early.

This is an awesome write-up, Elise. I'm dismayed to find out, though, that my ploy of simply figuring out who is credited as Executive Chef for the London WeHo will solve my current "WHO will win Hell's Kitchen???" dilemma. Actually, a bigger dilemma would be: Are they SERIOUSLY going to put one of the four remaining utterly inept, immature, and imbecilic contestants in charge of a fine dining establishment, and not the fry station at a Carl's Jr where they belong?"
