So I've made several posts about how much I love BBC America since discovering it on my Cable package, really you Brits my love for you is rivaled only by Canada.
So one of the shows I really never expected to like was Chef Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmare, but I have. And it's ironic, really, because I hate reality TV and I hate the way the show is shown on Fox but I've seen enough of the british version that even the bastardized American version is enjoyable to watch... Plus it helps I saw a candid Youtube vid of Anthony Bourdain saying that the British version of Kitchen Nightmare is more or less accurate to how Ramsey is in real life.
Anyway, watching the show has really changed the way I've thought about the food that I eat as of late. Now, I'm lazy and I've always been a big proponent of the microwave and frozen food until I watched this show. It says DO NOT MICROWAVE? Well I microwave it because I'm hungry and I don't want to wait. Many a ellios pizza has been cooked this way. But now I'm actually stopping to think if I should change my dietary habits and actually start cooking meal instead of just eating processed.
So, Escapist, are any of you picky about the food you eat? Do any of you cook your own meals? And on a side note, how much of Kitchen Nightmare USA do you think is bullshit? Because I can't, or rather I don't want to believe, tbat these people that ask Ramsey for his help are this dense.
EVERY EPISODE OF KITCHEN NIGHTMARE EVER-
Restaurant Owner: I'm going broke, please Chef Ramsey, tell me WTF I am doing wrong!
Ramsey: Your selling frozen/shit food, your cooking area isn't clean, and you got a bad attitude.
Restaurant Owner: FUCK YOU! THATS NOT TRUE!
Ramsey: THEN FUCK AM I HERE FOR?!
