[Sca-cooks] After five minutes of "Hell's Kitchen"...

[Phil Troy / G. Tacitus Adamantius]

...I can't understand what all the fuss is about. Obviously the best  
way to ruin anything is to create a reality TV series based on it,  
but this is pretty ridiculous.

Words fail me... the student cooks are whining, one team is being  
"punished" by having no air conditioning in their kitchen (like it's  
not going to be 130 degrees F. no matter what, anyway), and the  
executive chef is getting his spit in every conceivable item of mise  
en place.

Oy!!!

Ooh. That felt good. I'll say it again. OY!!!
