anybody know why tv.youtube is not posting the most recent episode of Hell's Kitchen? i assumed it was delayed due to the world series but thats been many days ago. it is frustrating!

let's all just get along and see where it goes. i am quite sure we will move on from first impressions to ragging on the dishes soon enough. the first epi is always first impressions, so you have to forgive visual impressions first as thats all we have to go on mostly. (believe me my looks would frighten everyone here, so i know of what i speak. many interviews i have had, i can tell in 30 seconds what people are thinking of off the bat.) mods if i am out of bounds, feel free to delete.

i am totally wondering what duck with chocolate tastes like. i have had chocolate, but not duck. i cant imagine chocolate with any fowl. maybe on beef, if it had a spicy element, like a mole. i wonder how many offbeat things we will get - firefighters, army, farm challenges!!! catch the pigs etc. some of the antics are quite funny if not really valid for picking out best chefs. still entertaining. echo raiderduck: yeah me too on the piercings. i am sure they have nothing to do with hygeine just like earrings dont, but it adds (for me just my opinion) a nasty unclean kind of perception. this is likely just my age showing. i have zero probs with people with tats, myself included. piercings for some reason seem more "open". feel free to flame me :)

bit early in the season for that, that's more like towards the end. ya not a lot of eye candy in this selection imo. that's ok tho to me, a good character/person of drahma more than makes up for a pretty face. shame on uri not helping on the truck, i would have called him out right up front to establish hey there's no faves here. i love tackling people who out of the box wanna be the team boss. i dont mind brittany and her weird hat, she might be the comic relief for this season.

i know right?? common sense, you know someone is gonna bang a shin on that thing. maybe she was trying to sabotage her team?

rewatching season 14 (Welcome back Winners). Lime Truck is charging $26 for a bread bowl special. Aloha Plate is charging $75 for their bread bowl special. No sides on those specials. ZERO outrage from Tyler for those prices. This show is so dang hypocritical at times.

I wondered about this as well- rice seems like one of the more forgiving ingredients one could adapt to another dish pretty easily. I would think burnt rice would be the only thing worthy of tossing, like any other burnt ingredient. Happydance, are you a cook? You sound like one.

the phony drama is the worst. i will gladly watch teams shop at the groc store for half an hour trying to find ingredients, but spare me scripted tv drama and bickering.

i laughed so hard at the outrage for someone else making mac and cheese. watch out, someone might steal your taco recipe....or even the pizza!!

i so hear you. icontinue for the train wreck bu yes so god awful now

lol love the Leave it to Beaver reference. Tyler is Lumpy?

Agreed, it is a shame it has gone down this road. I am guessing ratings must be down so they are desperate? I think the only show that hasn't gone down this road is Kitchen Nightmares, and I don't even know if that is still on. I don't watch the British Baking Show but I am doubting it has gone down this road either, they seem too classy for shenanigans (minus adding Noel Fielding, whom I love. His comedy kills me.)

and really not fair to that team if it was known. they should have allowed him to substitute something at the very least. rewatching Season 1 of TGFTR. What a completely different tone - no drama between or on teams, good sportsmanship, decent challenges. It is very refreshing.

spot on paigow. aemond nutty as a fruitcake but still cunning in what he does, much like robert deniro.

Agreed, comeback sauce is not rocket science (neither is fry sauce, he says proudly from Utah.) It doesn't have to be spellbinding, just whip up a quick easy sauce and drizzle on the tacos like GiandujaPie said previously.

tiktok way too advanced for moi. me finding recipes online. allrecipes.com. w2ait tiktok advanced, i mean i have more than a 8 second attention span. no diss luv tink!!

mebbe just me...i'd love to see a drop in from a famous chef, i am not picky, and it doesn't need to be a chicago area chef. who would u like to see? not a glam chef a la ramsay, more a like rupert or Rocco, and not called out as famous, just as someone who came and got a sammich and gave insight in a quickie cameo. like they did in the last episode. more of that stuff.

what what what? no way! after all we only get younger judges in here to judge cough ahem...lydia, mirimoto, pepin...and their peers, jeez far too long a list....bourdain, puck, ming tsai, ripert...

one gets the feeling that the boomer age group is not the show's demographic, therefore they become easy targets for show trolling. that is nice b*tch-mean tv right there. and yet gordy is wholesome as hell to older cooks on Kitchen Nightmares, they often get tons of praise for their cooking, esp if its a mother/grandmother. again, slanting towards demogs i am sure. agree on anna, it may be the metric thing. i sure as hell can't remember the metric conversions from the american measurements in my head, beyond miles to kilometers.

can someone email/msg me who went home? our local affiliate cut away to 'breaking news' right as gordon was speaking at the end, so i have no clue other than its someone on the blue team. the cutaway to the news wasnt even breakaway worthy which is 10x more annoying.

lol paigow i love your humor but i have NO idea what this means, right over my head. eta: ah makes sense now. i havent seen that movie but i hear it has a somewhat cult following. thank you for clarifying.

exactly. i would not venture out into those snowy places for any food truck regardless of how great the food is. give me a nice warm cozy restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and just mediocre food and I'd be happy as a snoozing pup.

I am watching season 11, the weird one that had all the snow locations. Also only 4 episodes for the entire season!! Seemed like a one-off idea to do it in the snowy climes. Musta been a dud in the ratings.

i think they said they only tossed the pork, unless i misheard. so they still had whatever else they foraged. and their usual truck stuff that hadnt been swiped. :)

lol agreed. one cant examine the details too closely. much less the volume of fluid/body remains being drained out, wouldn't this require pretty much an industrial sized sewer? i dont believe your average toidy could handle it. love huffman being in this episode, she is quality in 99% of what she does. paget eh just hitting the lines, nothing spectacular here. and is it me, or did we not expand out the gold star/north star story line? was the dad somehow tied to that? if so, I completely missed it - he just seemed more like a messed up dad than a victim of this north star programming. mind you i do like that concept, that the BAU has subversive ties to MKUltra type stuff.
