Master Chef, A Sell Out if I ever saw one

Give me a break ! Joe the absolute "King of Cuisine" has torn contestants apart about their cooking attempts, not meeting his standards, Gordon with his comments about quality and "Standards". The only guy that's genuine on this show is the Fat guy!
Let's go back to the show where they first mentioned Wal-Mart quality beef. I asked are you kidding me, forgive me I get caught up in the show, I thought if this is a trend, this show and the guys in it can go to hot place!
Last episode for me was "Cooking on the Trail" with Wal-Mart steaks. You know it would be different, yet still  unforgivable, if they needed ratings, but they don't. I didn't know these guys were for sale, but as far as I'm concerned, Kitchen Nightmares, Hells Kitchen and anything else Mr. Ramsey and his buddies put their blessing on, can Kiss my butt!
Their credibility is out the window with me, the spirit and hearts of  people have been ruined by these clowns.
 I was about ready to shut down Hells Kitchen anyway. Too many F bombs, so little time. The whole concept is beginning to looked staged to me. Are those  people real? Do they really cook in restaurants? Now, the only time we "eat out" is on the patio! The restaurant business is dead, I have a good friend that has to close his place at 3 pm, breakfast is his busy time. Time for new hope and change, the sooner the  better!!


What a crock of poop! Where's Gordon?
What happened to the aging process, the quality purveyors, USDA Prime, everybody and their brother sells USDA Choice. Is Wal-Mart now the "Peoples Choice"? Far from it, Wal-Mart beef sales pretty much suck, and they lured these guys into giving Wal-Mart credibility, the only thing achieved here, was them losing theirs!  Look at Joe's expression at the end, it's like. thank God I didn't say it!

I just got back from a trip to Wal-Mart, Strip Steak and Rib Eye @ $11.49 a Lb. Filet Mignon $14.49 a Lb. Presentation, pre-packaged, looks terrible. Looks nothing like steak presented on video. 1/2 inch steaks on a grill will never cook right. 3/4 or 1 inch steaks will finish properly and at the right doneness. Remember "standards" according to Chef Ramsey. Do they think all home cooks are morons? Picked up these Strip steaks at a local Super market (Harris Teeter) $7.99 a Lb.(on sale) and I hand picked them from the meat case, from a butcher. They were fabulous!  Photo enclosed. Look, I'm not picking on Wal-Mart, but the meat business is way out of their league. Stick to what you do best, screwing over the little guys.
Newsflash! Wal-Mart is the exclusive vendor to Master Chef, produce, meat, everything! Adios, Mu chachos!

  1. I love Chef Ramsey's shows so much. His shows may not show viewers how to make tough dishes in detail but you have a real good idea what to add. I've watched “Hell's Kitchen” since 2005, and I just started watching “Masterchef” since I got the Hopper. I’ts easy for me to try out one of the dishes on either of these shows because I can start a show from any room pause it, and I can finish watching it in another room. I work for Dish and I can tell you that the Hoppers PrimeTime Anytime feature automatically records all prime time shows everyday on CBS, NBC, FOX and ABC in HD.

    1. Hey,
      I grew up in Boston and I understand what a "Hoppa" is. A hoppa in Boston talk is a toilet. By the way, I don't think you read my post correctly. Please read it again and re-comment if you want. No, I don't want to get a "hoppa"
