ramsay gives mama cherie a roasting #2

[desprateseagull]

so what happened at the end of the revisit, on tely tonight? my recording missed the last 15 mins or so..

 

[ali jenkins]

Oh shit, I wanted to watch this!

 

[desprateseagull]

it was a recap of first time, and all went well, but the newer bigger place nearby seemed too much to handle..

(do any of these places pay for Gordo's time and input?)

Im sure the TV companies would foot his wage bill, the resturants would probably have to grant access all areas in return for his 'expertiees' and advertising.

Basically he ripped into her for turning into a fast food outlet and losing the 'soul' from her food. Gave them all a kickup the arse and they promised to revert back to the old style cooking they had before. Can't believe they are still booked up three months in advance.

went there back in march just before it moved to bigger place. Was ok, didnt deserve all the hype it was getting though

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

the 2nd visit was frankly a disgrace, pre cooked food , chicken legs , chops etc hanging around in tins all over the kitchen, 7 lots, expected him to find some in the toilet, food looked shit, reverted back to the old ways again of cooking fresh but they have become a get them in get them out outlet it would seem

I thought it was a little odd that we saw 45 minutes of a repeat and then 15 minutes of the new place? Was Gordon too busy this week to film? Bit of a shame as I've enjoyed pretty much every other show...

Her 1st restaurant looked like it was in the Bronx of New york. What a shit hole Brighton is.

Last week was also a repeat.

Last week was also a repeat.

Was it? I must have missed it the first time then - as i don't remember it...oh well...

 

[CHAPPERS]

The French guys in Scotland? Definitely a repeat.

 

[Man of Harveys]

What was a repeat? Last night's show was definitely a bit of a rip-off if you'd seen the previous show and I smell a rat. I suspect...he meant to go in there and spend longer sorting out the new site etc. but actually really likes her and what she does, so he decided to gloss over the place's shortcomings, rather than finish her off in the big new site etc. I can't imagine Choys sold her that cheaply.

I know - with the overly fussy million flavours on a plate thingy...who opened another restaurant next door?

Hadn't seen it before...

It was. I enjoyed last nights though having missed the original when I was abroad and having been to the shack a few years ago, pre Ramsay, and having a very average meal since when I had never returned.

Ramsay in general is one of my favourite TV personality. In fact there are only 2 TV chefs I like, him and Anthony Bourdain. His sheer frustration at a badly cooked chicken leg and ability to pepper almost any conversation with the word 'f***ing' I find never endingly entertaining. It's also great to see someone with a passion for real food cooked properly instead of the 'how to boil a spud' rubbish you get on ready steady twat.

I just thought that the 45 minutes was a recap of last years (or whenever it was) show? I was hoping to see more of the new place than just the last 15 minutes of the show....

I'd never seen it before...I think that programme has had a succession of places serving very posh food to local old people who regard baked beans as exotic.

Actually, foody heaven last night was Rick Stoyn's amazing show about cooking for the Japanese ambassador - I was CRAVING sashimi after that.

Completely agree!! His passion for good food done well is endless and I really enjoy watching him!!

Bourdain is a bad boy. I do like Rick Stein though, even if he is a bit of an arse. His things where he designed a menu for the Japanese Ambassador was good and his love of all things local is admirable.
