Ramsay is a sheer legend! I'd love to eat in one of his restaurants, but sadly can't afford it. I watch all his shows on telly, and have read his auto-biography.

I actually think he'd be a mint boss, simply because you'd know exactly where you stood with him, and he won't ask anyone to do what he can't/won't.

 

i'm sure you will do ok on the telly.

good luck.

 

Well done Maria!

Gordon Ramsey is a legend! Im going to be eating at Claridges at the end of this month...I cant wait...I even bought a new dress for it

Id love to go to Hospital Road but I cant justify the expense.

 

Well done chick! How cool!

Would love to eat in his restaurants, but fear he would throw me out with the sheer amount of food allergies/intolerances i have! Wwhat on earth would he cook me?

 

oh bless ya heart nicole!!

it would be wrth the heartburn/swollen lips/rashes/vomiting just to eat the food it is delicious!

thank you for all your well wishes guys.

Basically, to start off with you had to send an email answering a few basic questions as to why you think you would be good on the cookalong, then, if you were selected from there you had a 30 minute telephone interview, then if you got through from there you had a 20 minute webcam interview, after that i waited four weeks and got the call to say they wanted me on the show!!!

 

Stu, in your opinion... where does the above quote rank in the all time 'wow... did he really just say that' list of PF quotes???

For me.... Its there. I mean REALLY there....

 

Nicole, all you do is tell them your allergies or dislikes and they will tailor the menu around you. If you have the 'tasting menu' the Maitree dee will ask you loads of questions about what you like and can and cannot eat and then the kitchen makes you something amazing up around that and you are made to feel like an absolute princess I promise you. It would be a pleasure to take you and stu there as a treat to say thanks to Stu for all his help over the years and a wedding and combined baby present to you both... and lets face it, after the labour you went through.... you DESERVE to be treated like a princess!

 

Fucking hell, I hate Jealously!


Explain!?

 

Yeah, I suppose you're right. They just give those michelin stars away these days.

 

NO LIMITS PASSIONFORDING!!!

 

You know what, we should have a yearly topic quoting the best ten. Start copying and pasting for your end of season
ammo.

Really great offer from you for a night out Lee, we are there, but with a full wallet that will be emptying at the same rate as yours if not faster. Your too kind though, thanks for the offer, im sure Nicole wll appreciate it when she reads it tomorrow.

 

I just cooked myself some Beans On Toast. I own Gordon Ramsay.

Benni.

 

Congratulations Maria.

For anyone who thinks they can't afford to eat at one of Ramseys restaurants, they do a set lunch at Claridge's (you still have choices) for Ł30 a head! My girlfriend took me as a surprise last year for my birthday and the food was amazing, the whole experience was.

Matt.

 

They sure so mate! I think it might even be cheaper than that!!!

Weekends as well in some of them

If anyone needs a hand booking up, let me know and I will try and help.

Gordon thinks that if you have 'one person in and show them a great lunch at a good price... they will tell ten people about it that will come back in for dinner' and then the restaurant starts to make proper money every night!

But what does he know... the 'overated knob cheese'

 

you get one free with every set of Pilot sports mate. Only till end of October though!

so hurry!

 

Gordon Ramsey?

He swears his mouth off at every given opportunity and treats his staff like shit when they aren't performing...

To me, he is probably one of best chefs in the world

Would LOVE to go to one of his restaurants, what kind of price are you talking for his food? Ł15 a starter, Ł30 a main, or am I WAY off?

He is VERY arogant, but not for good reason, he hasnt got where he is by umming and arring, thats for sure!

Maria, congrats - I'm sure you will enjoy the experience, its a once in a lifetime opportunity!

As for the beef being overcooked, whack the oven up to full and leave it for 10 mins

Shove the join in, season with sat/pepper/olive oil whatever, then reduce the heat to gas mark 5 and roast the joint for half an hour per kg for rare, add another ten minutes per kg for medium rare, 20 minutes per kg for medium, and 30 minutes per kilo for well done.

99% of the time its not about the cooking, but the quality in the piece of beef. It can be Ł20+ for a piece of 'decent' beef that you seemingly might be able to get in asda for a fiver! Not so!

Anyway, enjoy ur time with Ramsey, hope he doesnt give you too much "beef"

 

Aww thanks alot Lee, would be great for us all to get together and eat at Ramsay's!! How cool would that be!!

Everytime i eat out i always end up with something rubbish and they always get the order wrong and i often end up ill as i've eaten something that i shouldn't have as i didn't know it was in the dish! We have one or two really good places to eat here where they get it right every time but other than that, eating out isn't normally very much fun for me!! So i'll look forward to it!

And your damn straight i deserve it

 

Well done!

And deffo PF T-Shirt!

 

i cant believe people are bitchy gordan LOL

wisking chance maria to cool with a true pro!

i avoided being on TV this week as blue peter was in work LOL

 

Gareth you shoulda done it!!

 

i agree with rich, when working to such tight timescales as a kitchen,,,, the stress of that means that you cant be hugging people and carrying them, you either perform or get out the kitchen, i work in a different job but is still very fast paced and it works well when everyone is working hard,,,,, but the fuckers who cant be bothered DO get it from all of us,, and thats before REAL management get involed

fuck working in a kitchen though,,, no REAL margin for error for a start

think hes a PROPER bloke, got a few of hes cook books, yet to cook fuck all from em but its something to do whilst i wait for the curry to cook in the mircowave pmsl

 

was that for a new haircut ?

 

Bloody hell, can someone not like someone without giving ten reason to Porkie why.

Regardless of all what Lee said about him, I don't like him either.

 

Excellent news......keep us informed when its going to be aired.

Now about the beef joint......

1 pack of Rizzla's
Remove a skin from the Rizzla pack
Sprinkle a thum and forefinger amount of beef into the skin
Role the skin up

1 beef joint complete.....

I know, that was poor wasn't it

 

LOL

 

What do you class as over cooked? If there's any pink in the middle I class that as raw.
Brown on the outside, brown on the inside, ooh arr.

 

Im not overly struck on him and too be honest I think hes a C**T
But thats my opinion.

 

Nobody cares if you or anyone else "likes" him. We simply asked in which way he was "over rated" or indeed a "knob cheese." Is there something wrong with trying to have a discussion on a discussion forum lately?

 

heard its on the 24th oct, is this right?

and the main dish is pork

 

i dont work in a hair dressers lol

 

i still havent heard anything

I hope they werent winding me up!

 

just see an add on e4 confirming its the 24th oct friday 9pm

 

congrats.

I dont think hes overrated but i dont like the way he treats his staff either, he seems to revel in their misery, if he did that to me i wouldnt cry or stand there shivering like they do, everyone has skeletons in the closet you cant say its ok for him to be abusive and swear every two seconds because the poor guy got abused. Whilst i feel for him theres no need to be a "knobcheese"

Im not loaded enough to taste his food yet but it looks mouthwateringly delicious sometimes!

 

just see an add on e4 confirming its the 24th oct friday 9pm

 

24th is my little ones birthday

 

is this only on tonight?

 

It will be repeated.

Quite sure I spotted Maria at the start of the program

 

was dorris on it tonight then?

 

I was only on at the start again... i should be cooking in a few weeks!

 

Tell Ramsay's team to hurry the fuck up then
