Considering that most DC area reality TV contestants seem to be better known for a. being bitches, b. being naked or c. being naked AND architecture students at Catholic it is certainly refreshing to see one of our local boys do good.
Tonight at 9, on Fox’s “Hell’s Kitchen” (for the unititiated, Gordon Ramsey’s answer to Top Chef but with more yelling and without Salman Rushdie’s ex wife) local chef Rahman “Rock” Harper, Executive Chef at B. Smith’s in Union Station, will be duking it out for the top prize.
Now, I don’t really watch food competition shows because:
a. you cannot taste what they made
and
b. they make me tremendeously hungry AND you cannot taste what they made
but
with one look at Rock’s competition (a blonde, wispy nanny/personal chef from LA-the land of no eating) it is very obvious that our man Rahman (it even rhymes!) is the front runner. I mean, it even has a ready-made pun catchphrase attached to its name already.
watch tonight at 9.
or attend the viewing B.Smith’s where ACTUALLY you can taste what “they” are making.
on that note,
is it lunch time yet?
if by “watch a local guy do good”, you mean: watch a local guy who works at a subpar local restaurant walk around browbeating others and calling them “bitches”, then i am definitely not down with that. especially when this person served frozen gnocchi as his “signature dish”. what a clown. watch top chef instead.
August 13, 2007 at 3:13 pmI stopped off at a friend’s house between bars tonight and saw this dude won. If he calls people “bitches” then all the better.
Overall the show is stupid but any program where people get yelled at without regards to their feelings is ok with me. More people need to be browbeaten. Times a million even.

also check out Gordon Ramsay’s “F Word”, which ran in the UK. lots more yelling. lots of it.
