    My friend lived in France and her son spent three years at college training to be a waiter.

    Whereas here in the UK, generally, people just fall into waiting and bar work and learn "on the job". It's not really considered to be a good job either :(

    Exactly. I knew nothing about it and remember being shocked that he had to buy the very best quality chef's knives. It was a really difficult course for him, especially as he was and still is rebellious by nature.

    Serious guy, a serious show and not a winker in sight.

    I agree, it's fascinating!

    I worked in a restaurant in France for a while, many years ago. I was rubbish at it, but I could carry five plates and wave them about like the guy just did then. I haven't done it in years, I wonder if I still can!

    I know it's mean, having experienced it myself, but I can't wait for this lot to completely f*** the kitchen, which will inevitably happen.

    Oooohh that was a bit unfair Michel, I've opened many bottles of wine but I've never mastered those posh corkscrews:D

    I wouldn't want wine advice off people that don't even know how to open a bottle. but maybe that's just me!

    oh stop whinging about your benefits love :rolleyes:

    Oh god, the wine opening thing is giving me flashbacks! I was terrible when I was a waitress! I have a memory of a wine bottle where the cork just wouldn't come out, and I ended up squeezing the bottle between my thighs while I pulled the cork out. And another time, I was trying to lever the cork out, and the whole neck of the bottle snapped right off and tipped red wine all down me. That was fun.

    Do they serve chips in that restaurant? As there is a ginormous one on that whinging cow's shoulder there.

    Oh dear, too much "reality" for me - not enjoying this and not the best show for Michel.

    Really enjoying this. Michel Roux seems like such a lovely bloke. Very considerate and very encouraging.
