I have worked in catering for years

I have worked in outside catering, top class restaurants and private boxes and a corporate luncheon rooms and never have I heard the shouting and chaos of Hells Kitchen.

It was always, stop shouting, it is the diners experience and right to have a peaceful environment to talk to each other and having the chefs and waiters yelling at each other was a huge no no.

We only had two chefs to cook for over 100 covers with a large menu, no pass, it was just prepared as it went and there was no histrionics just hard slog and no prima donnas.

What is all this fuss about, Marco, just cook, there are hundreds of chefs out there who could knock your organisational skills into a cocked hat and have unskilled staff to support them most days.

The program always was fake. Its so obviously fake now that it has lot credibility. As you say what Kitchen would have all that shouting and running about , it just total chaos and its clear they are producing no food

I think Marco would have something to say about his diners going without.....

And what an entertaining show that would make...
everyone quietly going about there jobs

Well it could make good viewing actually seeing them preparing, cooking and serving up the food they have made instead of running about and just shouting.

We could SEE how they are progressing instead of just being told about it.

Well then stick to programs like masterchef.:yawn:

It would be pretty boring tv if they worked in total silence.

That would be taking it to the other extreme it is not either/or but a balance of good food, ambiance of the restaurant and entertainment which should be the dining experience.

Nobody said catering staff should not speak but yelling at the top of their voices throughout service is simply not necessary or condusive to diners eating their food.

There is always laughing and joking in a kitchen but not so loud it reaches the back of the restaurant and diners are subjected to whatever foul moods the head chefs are in that day.

Yes, it is a TV programme and Masterchef is a totally different scenario if you hadnt noticed, single chefs, no helpers and is nothing like the working restaurant kitchens, I described.

Hells Kitchen is all about Marco's ego, diners, staff and celebrities all trail a very long way behind.

No one is suggesting they work in total silence but the whole format of th programe was about a team of amateur cooks turing out meals for a restaurant.

Now the cooking and preparing of the meals has pretty much nothing to do with it. It just another program pandering to the egos of the contestants.

Cannot we keep that sort of garbage for Big Brother?

Marco at the helm, is calm compared to Ramsey's first show.

He swore a lot and closed the kitchen after serving a handful of people if they were lucky.
