So the other night I recorded Ramsay’s The F Word from the beginning and I finally understand the concept which makes the show completely different than what I have earlier described.
The F Word centers around Ramsay bringing in various professions, Doctors, Butchers, Handlers, whatever the case is and putting them to work on a three course menu. He works the through it and then sees how many people are willing to pay for each course.
After this startling tidbit became clear to me it completely changed my opinion of the show. This particular episode had him enter into a pig contest (in which whether he actually thought so or not) he was disappointed that he didn’t win. Nonetheless the kitchen component of the show is now interesting to me. Moreover, he puts his dish up against that of some relatively unknown British star and blindly has people pick one or the other. Great concept. Don’t think it works out for him so well all the time though. I still think the part where he has a weird voice over while describing a dish is a bit self indulgent but maybe, just maybe it was some TV wonk that thought it would go over well.
At any rate, I must say that The F Word is now a guilty pleasure. I won’t go out of my way to watch but I will tape it for when I need to relax my brain a bit. Which is not much these days.
Ramsay says; “I have a very assertive way. It's wake up, move your ass, or piss off home.” I can’t say I disagree. And in fact I agree wholeheartedly.
Are you dreaming big and inspired?
A la prochaine
