Would you ever eat at Hell's Kitchen? - Page 2

I think it would be great fun, but at any week before the Final Four, I'd eat before going there and just push the food around on my plate (if the plate ever made it to the table). I would, however, drink the wine!

Of course! Like dinner theatre...but without the dinner (most likely). I'd have to bring my own treats.

Being in the restaurant business for many, many years I'd love to.

I agree with Ellen. I'd go for the show and the booze! I would be a bit afraid of the food just because I've seen some of the horrors (like food out of the trash!).

Don't know whether it's true, but I read the HK diners get *paid* $50 for their time and also eat (maybe!

) for free.

Well, I think given that no one would pay HK for the service, them paying the "guests" makes a lot more sense. I think closer to the end the food wouldn't be so bad, but the beginning guests have to know they're only there for the entertainment and definitely not the food.

So when are we all signing up?

In a heartbeat. I think we need to talk to Fox about a Fort night at Hells Kitchen.

They wouldn't pick us as HK customers. They know we would all be gathered around the kitchen, watching the chefs and madly taking notes, instead of sitting at the tables looking peeved and hungry like proper HK customers!

Or we'd be waiting in line at the pass to make a stupid complaint to Gordon just to have a chance to be insulted by Gordon in person. "You *bleeping* donkey".

Count me in, I would love to see that all go down in person.

I love Gordon even more after watching "Kitchen Nightmares" on BBC America. He's really a big ol' softie under that cursing exterior.

Watching Gordon with his kids is too cute. It was on another BBC show he has.

I would eat there in a minute...but like everyone else I'd be sure not to go there hungry.
