Kilted Chefs oan Telly!

Ramsey did a show over Here called 'Hell's Kitchen' - another of those reality/contest/survivor type thingies. After three episodes I got tired of hearing him berate the contestants and quit watching - he may be a great chef but strikes me as a toad of a human being. My 2p worth.

That was a good episode. I saw that a few months back. The women sure loved the frenchmen in kilts.

I work in the galley at Viking Cooking School here in Memphis. I wear chef’s pants and a t-shirt with kitchen clogs. I would think a kilt would get caught on things. You move awfully fast and there is a LOT of spinning, fast turning and jumping out of the way. But if it work for Gordon's show then GREAT! Personally I'd like to see the show.

I wore mine up there and had no problem. Although my "kitchen kilt" is some good heavy cotton.

I have cable and the cooking channel (go figure) and have been unable to locate this show - but I'll keep my eyes open for it...........

I have a part-time catering/personal cheffing business. Though I haven't done any gigs in a kilt (yet), I've been tempted to advertise myself as "The Kilted Caterer".

But in a full commercial kitchen? Na.

The kilt is adaptable to any location!!!!

Well, almost.......SCUBA?

I have to agree with Hamish. Although the language is bleeped out in America, You still know what he is saying. Tonight I watched "My Family" on BBC america. They did a takeoff on Gordon Ramsey. It was really hilarious. But I still agree with Hamish.

The show is on BBC America, and the episode was a good one.

I am a regular kilt wearer and a caterer and I wouldn't let anyone (including me) work in my kitchen in a kilt. With the lower legs bare there is no protection. The only time I wear a kilt for work is when I am running a Scottish event or doing a Scottish cooking demo.

It's a good show but the language is over the top.

I have had to start wearing aprons in the kitchen, just too many stains on the kilts.

I can put up with Gordon's language, just about, but it is the dimbos they get trying to cook, or trying to run a restaurant which put me off watching the various programs he's done.

I think some of them would have me not just swearing but throwing things, possibly things with sharp points.
