I have to admit, Ramsay is one of my guilty pleasures. I've watched Hell's Kitchen since the beginning.

Last week, his new show, Kitchen Nightmares had its debut on Fox. He went to Babylon, Long Island, to work with a family-run Italian restaurant. The son (who ran the place with his sister) was like something out of a bad gangster film - he had a temper that made Sonny Corleone look like Mahatma Gandhi. Of course, everything came out all right in the end.

(I've never seen the original UK version of the show - for some mysterious reason my local cable company doesn't carry the BBC America channel, while most other local cable companies do.)

Anybody else here watch his shows?

Signor V.


"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
