Would you ever eat at Hell's Kitchen?

We cou have spies that do that while the rest of us act like proper customers. Man how fun would it be if a bunch of us were actually able to go. We know enough about the show to truly enjoy what goes on behind the scenes and maybe if we play it right we'd wind up shown on tv!

I doubt seriously I would eat there. I don't care for all of those Gourmet dishes with the cutesy little parsley sprigs. I also don't like to eat something I can't identify. Some of the mess they cook looks so disgusting it could have been road kill prior to hitting the table. I'll pass.

I'll leave the tasting to Ramsey... he's like Mikey, he'll eat anything... (at least he can spit it out!)

You post had me !

You DO have a point about how some of the stuff looks . . .

But as for Gordo being like Mikey and eating anything . . .

After upchucking that guy's offering (whichever one of 'em it was) straight into the trash can at the signature dish tasting, he MIGHT have second thoughts about eating anything!

I would definitely go to Hells Kitchen. I'd want a table right by the kitchen area so I can watch Gordon in action. I would get drunk on the free booze, but as for food, I'd definitely pack a bag assorted with snacks--like I do when I go to movies. that would be essential since you can't guarantee you'd actually get food.

If given the chance I'd take it. It would be interesting to see the contestants in action, and possibly try new foods. (I very rarely get to eat at anything that is this frou-frou stuff, even then it's because I'm an invited guest).

But, I'm also someone who's very patient on waiting, as I've visited very small towns (less than 1,000 population in the county) where you can wait up to an hour without any food. By this, I mean zilch, and I've seen that they do at least have bread at "Hell's Kitchen." They'd probably not want me because I wouldn't wench and complain about the service. Now food is another story, but service, nope unless it was the "who had better service" challenge.

I tend to eat out when I’m really hungry; whether it’s high end restaurants or fast food. If I go to a high end place (where we have to get reservations) I would deliberately not eat much beforehand. So, I would not want to get all gussied up, and fill up on water and bread while waiting for 2 hours, then walk out and swing by McDs because I’m starving. As a patron, I don’t think I want to see all that drama in the kitchen. Bottom line is when I’m hungry, I want to eat. A 30 minute wait is one thing, but an hr or 2 – forget it.

Pretty sure it would be fun to watch...even if it was late in the season I am pretty sure I wouldnt eat there....His resturants may get alot of Michelain stars but the HK menu is still steak surrounded by pastry....really fancy rice and mashed potatos and other really uninspired vegetables......

Bland...bland ...bland.....would love to send my steak back and ask for alot more pepper.... (just like they make it at outback...)

[Harmony2000]

Absolutely not, any sort of "interest" I had in Ramsey has long since passed and I don't even watch the show anymore. Why would I want to sit for hours and listen to that screaming and cursing and then have to suffer through inedible food on top of it all? No thanks. Pass.

Pity because I once loved this show but it crossed the line at some point for me to the unbearable.

I would in a heartbeat. Of course, I'd stop and get a bucket of original recipe for my whole table to munch on while waiting to be served ... !

I would love to go but towards the end of the season where there is a better chance that I will actually eat.
