Just checking

After a conversation I had this weekend, I was curious.

[Poll #1436086]

Gordon Ramsey is a complete horse's putoot. Gas bag. Jackass. His biggest talent appears to be swearing at people. I seriously doubt he can actually cook.

I wouldn't know. The entire reason this poll exists is somebody mentioned "Hell's Kitchen" and I thought they meant "New York". (:

I caught one of his shows a couple of years ago, and was suitably disgusted. If I wanted to hear that much cussing, I'd join the Navy.

I think my TiVo has caught the ending of the show on occasion, but my immediate response to the question was (and will probably always be), in New York, where Daredevil hangs out. (:

[satyrlovesong.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

[kirbyk.livejournal.com]

Yes, Daredevil was my first thought too!

I'm aware it's also an awful reality show where Gordon Ramsey, named after a Sports Night character, yells at hard working people from a twisted sense of motivation.

In a perfect world...

I had no idea on the Daredevil angle.
I'm a bad geek.

Well, I dunno about Ramsey, but I've been to Maze, run by one of his students, and it was freakin' amazing. Sorry. Bad pun. But seriously, all joking aside, he may be potty mouth but he attracts talent and runs some awesome restaurants.

Until I read the comments and figured out from context and semi-remembered commercials, I was thinking "British Politician."

But then again, I watch a very limited amount of TV and emphatically don't watch shows where the main draw is someone shouting, and and doubly so if its a "reality" show.

(Of course, all this will go out the window once Project Runway kicks back up. Heh.)

I was trying to find the option 'cook', but I guess TV star encompasses it.

The thing is that, independent of all the TV stuff, he's apparently a genuinely excellent chef. It's almost unfair to let that get buried (except of course that he chose to go on TV and act like an utter bastard, etc.).

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

From what I've heard, he sounds like Chef from the television show. So maybe it was destiny that he end up on television himself.

Now you remind me of another reason to think Mr. Ramsey is a total git: He stole his entire schtick from a fictional character.

[P.S. We should put on Geek Probation for not knowing Daredevil. Even I, who have never touched a Daredevil comic knew about his preferred haunts.]

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

It's a fair cop.

I'll happily admit to adoring Ramsay, save for his unnatural anti-vegetarian bigotry. Also he has a crazy lady on his "F-Word" series who researches, cooks and eats the most disgusting stuff on the planet.
