Every week its always the same, a restaurant that is failing due to family turmoil. Can't it ever be a bad cook, or a owner who needs help marketing and focusing.
I wonder what game he's playing that keeps him up so late. I wish they had said. I bet its a MMO.
Why would you interrupt Ramsey eating to talk to him, when you don't even speak the language? But it was pretty funny him running through the list of all the languages that he speaks to find that the only other language she speaks, he doesn't.
If you only show up to work three to five hours a day, and then you cook everything in the microwave. You have to know that the main problem in your restaurant is you. And to think you can make a high end product when everything is just warmed in the microwave is plain delusional.
Also if you are going to cook everything in the microwave, don't you think you'd have more than one of them.
How awkward must it have been for Gordon to be standing there while the owners had a giant shouting match at each other, the whole time speaking a foreign language that he doesn't understand.
Relaunch is always the same on this show. It starts off great, only to run into some problem that completely shuts down the kitchen, before they get things back on track and rally to make a triumphant comeback.
"Michael; Melba" Air Date 1-27-12
The concept of this show is an interesting spin on the weight loss show genre. Having it be about people whose job not only contributes to, but potentially has caused their weight problem is a new take and something I have wondered about every time I've seen Gordon Ramsey cook anything on F Word.
Is 4 months enough time and 25% enough weight to really make a difference. Don't get me wrong losing 25% is a great accomplishment, but compared to similar show where people routinely lose 45-50%, it just seems like it might now visually appear satisfying.
So, Melba is a top notch chef that has all sorts of food related businesses and has beaten celebrity chefs in cooking competitions and yet when its her sons birthday all he gets is a crappily frosted cupcake?
I didn't even know you could buy a bathroom scale that goes up to 550 pounds. That kind of makes it mean on Extreme Makeover: Weight loss Edition when they weighed the people on a freight scale because they couldn't get a scale that would hold them.
Michael is noticeably smaller when ever they show him in a talking head shot. Usually show do a better job of hiding the outcome than this.
On the logo thats used for the commercial bumpers the word chef gets thinner as it airs. That's a nice touch.
I wonder if Michael is going to have a moment where he feels like he cant be a pastry chef anymore because he now knows what harm his food can do to people.
The quickest way to failure on a diet is to feel that you deserve a reward because you have been doing so good and to make that reward be some food that you shouldn't be having.
Well all in all it was an ok show. I don't know if I'll watch it again, there was nothing special about it that made me want to see another, and with the number of weight loss shows currently on the air you need something more than Fat Chef delivered.
