I liked it but like with the real masterchef, it feels more and more like 90% of the contestants are child actor/model plants that were taught to cook for a couple weeks before the show started. The kind of spergy goon guy won in season 1 but since then their picks seem more based on whose face can sell the most cookbooks.

Also this isn't exclusive to Masterchef / Masterchef Jr. but Gordon is really stretching things with "for the first time EVER on _____" stuff sometimes.

We Got Us A Bread

In his semi-autobiographies (There are two, one for him as a person, and one for him as a chef, etc.), he makes it a point to say that he tells all the culinary students he talks to not to ever do anything they see him do on t.v., and that 'opening a restaurant is a great way to turn millions of dollars into thousands of dollars and give yourself a 18-hour a day job for far less than minimum wage.'

White was a raging rear end in a top hat of a maniac. Mario Batali studied under him, and said that although he was brilliant, he was a total oval office. On his last day with White, White was up Batali's rear end, as was White's style, and it culminated in White throwing a plate at Batali, so Batali (I believe it was in the middle of service), took handfuls of salt and threw them into all of the sauces on the steam table on his way out the door.

It's in the book "Heat," by Bill Buford, which I highly recommend.

I worked for a guy who was a legit maniac who was blackout drunk at most of his shifts. Then one day he came over screaming about me using the newer croutons we made first when I actually did use the older ones first. He didn't back off and started going on about who could blame him when I was such a gently caress-up. I tried to go back to working on the line because I had orders to do and he pushed me when I wasn't looking. After three years of this kind of crap I'd had it and punched him as hard as I could. Since he was drunk as usual, he couldn't keep his balance and just hit everything he could on the way down. He got pissed off and stormed out the back door to apparently go get even drunker. The sous chef started screaming at me and I defended myself because this loving rear end in a top hat had made everyone's life miserable for decades at the place. He showed up a few days later with a broken arm and a burst vessel in his eye. Apparently the broken arm was because he went on a bender and fell down, but people who saw him before the fall said he had the burst vessel before that, so it was most likely my hit that did it. He didn't speak to me once for the year after that before i quit and he died recently.

It kind of turned me around where I've grown to really hate the kind of people who take advantage of a workplace situation to make everyone miserable.

what confuses me (maybe this is just me being poor) is that he seems to often be doing a show in american restaurants but he mentions them eating bass 15 times

i've never seen bass in a restaurant here and fisherman only eat it if they somehow can't catch a sunfish, americans are obsessed with sport fishing for bass to the point where most bass fisherman don't know how to fillet a fish and get mad if you take one even during season when there's too loving many of them anyway

Nicer restaurants serve "chilean seabass" all the time and is probably what he is referring to even if it's not really a bass. I think he mentions striped bass occasionally which I haven't seen in restaurants that I can remember but it doesn't sound too "out there".

Alton Brown is super religious and goes to one of those creepy megachurches off 285. He also is banned from that Kroger in the show which was the one I'd go to during my mercifully short time in Roswell because he stole some donuts irl.

He's a drinker par excellence, and as far as Italian cooking goes, he is the real deal.

Still with the long hair, beard and orange Crocs, yeah...

If you read any of Bourdain's books, he talks about the nights he, Batali, and others would hang out (before they were famous), and he said Batali would crush it when it came to booze consumption.

Funny snippet about Batali, from the New Yorker:

The life at Stuff Yer Face was fast, sexy (“The most booooootiful waitresses in town”), and happily recreational. (“I don’t want to come off as a big druggie, but a guy would bring a pizza pan turned upside down with lines of crank on it.”) And when, in his junior year, he went to a career conference, attended by representatives from major corporations, Batali realized that he would never be a banker. He was going to be a chef.

“I had a natural affinity for the kitchen, and my mother and grandmother had always told me that I should be a cook. In fact, when I was preparing my college applications my mother suggested cooking school, but I said, ‘Ma, that’s too gay. I don’t want to go to cooking school—that’s for fags.’ “ But five years later Batali showed up for his first day at the Cordon Bleu in London.

That was the most bizarre episode. He didn't even yell or anything. He just looked dumbfounded and depressed the whole time. Then at the end he's like :shrug: Welp, I can't help you guys. Good luck.

As far as I know that was the only place he just walked out on. Please watch it.
