No Dee. When is it on? I watched Hells Kitchen USA this week for the first time this series, and that was pretty good. I actually forgot this was back on as well.

I'm watching it Dee, it's very much like a cooking 'Apprentice'. I think the right people have gone each week, especially that Father and Daughter, she was good he was awful!

Did you see the final Dee. I wasn't bothered who won, I was just glad the wife and husband duo were knocked out last week. I was convinced the boys would win it as Michel has given them so many second changes. I wouldn't have been impressed with the meal they served on the Orient Express though! Pleased for the couple that won and I heard on the TV that Michel is giving the boys three months free training at his restaurant as a consolation prize.

That's because the wife who won was called Michelle - Michel, Raymond all these French men sound the same to me

Thought you'd be interested in this Dee!! Every year Craig's boss takes us to an expensive restaurant in London. We went last night and found out it was owned by David the bald headed judge. Poor guy - I had overindulged in expensive wine when he came over to the table. I gave him quite a grilling. This is what I found out ;D 1. Michelle and her partner are still training with Raymond and will be opening a Cheerful Soul restaurant. 2. The two guys who were runners up will be working where we were last night after Christmas (he wouldn't answer whether they were 'real' partners ) 3. The BBC choose the contestants, but Raymond chooses the winners, some parts of the show are set up to make better viewing. 4. The BBC are in talks for series three with him ;D I bet he wishes he had last night off - a real life reality show judge and me in full flow - poor guy (BTW the food was excellent, but very, very rich)

Oooh Kim, I am so jealous!!!! I knew Raymond had a soft spot for the two young guys, I wonder if Raymond had anything to do with them getting the job. Is it Raymonds restaurant managed by the bald guy or does the bald guy own it? I'm glad there's gonna be another series What did you have to eat???

It was the bald headed guy (David ) who owned it. I think he works with Raymond though and that's why the two boys are working for him in January. The food was very, very rich. I had fois gras to start with, it was very nice, but made me feel sick, there was a lot of garnish with stuff I didn't know what it was. It put me off the rest of the meal, I had some sort of lamb, but didn't eat it. I was violently sick before we left (how embarrasing ) which wasn't fully to blame on drink - honestly David also gave me a 'party bag' with a recipe book in, but I left it in the cab to the station - I could've put that on ebay I forgot to say, he also said the two guys who had 'sorbets and something or other' were there purely for television purposes!!!! ;D
