Why didn't anyone tell me?? Hell's Kitchen is awesome. I decided that watching Top Chef once a week isn't nearly enought, and I'm not too enthused about moving into Food Network territory. So I DVRed Hell's Kitchen, and before the credits rolled I knew I would love it.

For one thing, it's an Apprentice-style reality show. So there's even MORE cattiness and drama than Top Chef. And, it's a relief to watch chefs who are as grossed out by innards as I am. The losing team had to eat these gnarly looking plates of tongue, kidneys, stomach lining, etc. On Top Chef, they're all soaking the kidneys in buttermilk and poaching them in white wine and serving them with a sweet onion reduction garnished with shaved fennel. Or something.

And Gordon Ramsay is such an ass. What fun this is!
