On Channel 4.
Reminds me of one of the original "Faking It" episodes where they took a van food chef and trained him to fake being a chef able to work in a top kitchen. I think they pulled it off too.

Have I seen this chef before on Great British menu or somewhere?

I think the Chef bloke from Faking It was Ed, I think he went off to be a writer or something away from cooking at the end of the show.
I'd be interested to know what sort of money their on for their 17 hour shifts and 80 hours a week.
Nothing but mega money would make me give a flying, I'm afraid.
Not sure. I think I recall someone saying chef'ing isn't that well paid. It's more of a ladder you work your way up in the hope of one day becoming a head chef which is where the money is.
Sounds like the Masterchef narrator - She is rather annoying. We don't need to be talked through every scene!
I get your drift.
To become a chef, forget friends, family, social life. It's an all consuming career. You have to love it and forget about everything else. The hours and pay are ridiculous.
Some industries or workplaces, I think
F knows what all that nonsense was about with the rest of the team.
He saw the boss about his knee, WTF did he 'need' to go and see the second in command and say 'goodbye' to the rest of the team he was back a few days later.
They wouldn't like me, I'm nobodies friend at work, I don't have friends away from work so I don't need them at work, tell people that straight.
Don't know why they've sent him all the way to Italy.
He knew he was a trainee but I'm not sure he knew he was only three weeks trained.
You'd think your man Daniel would have had a few words with one of his chef friends and landed him a job somewhere.
I know. I was expecting him to start an apprenticeship somewhere. This is just another reality show that gives free advertising to the participating restaurants.
It doesn't have to be in Italy or anything. I'm sure the chef must know a few people he could have got in contact with close by.
Series 1 Summary
Some of Britain's best chefs train up some of the country's worst. The newbies then pose as seasoned professionals in world class kitchens. Will they get away with it?
That ^^ deserves a long 'Hmmm' and some chin stroking.
I don't think we got job offers in the original Faking |t either, wasn't the point of it.
I wasn't really watching this properly, did he actually want to work in a Restaurant at the end?
Give up his own business works from 8 til 2 to work 12+ hours for someone else?
Not sure why he spent all that money shusshing (sp) up his old Burger van, it's in a layby and it looked clean before, it's nice to see once the punters have stopped, but they've got to stop first.
Better quality food is probably a good thing though, there's not a lot of choice if you are driving an Artic you can't nip off the motorway and park it anywhere you like.
Just start watching this, chefs tend to be mad despotic posh burger flippers with homocidal tendancies.
