I thought he had an understated, quiet confidence that made him seem so much more professional, and, well, <I>likeable</I> than those idiots Spike and Andrew. Richard was really competent and I loved it that he wanted to win it all to not only advance his dreams, but also for the benefit of his wife and new baby. Love me some Richard!<BR/><BR/>But Stephanie, what a sweetheart. I would have KILLED Dale for leaving that meat out all night in that sultry San Juan kitchen, but she apparently didn't say a cross word to him. She was a nice young woman and I hope she has a stellar career.<BR/><BR/>Richard and Stephanie both were so positive, with basically cheerful personalities, unflappable. Which seems to be a good way to be if you're an executive chef. In my opinion, food has to be cooked with love to taste good, and if it isn't cooked with love and the morale of the kitchen help from the sous chef to the dish washer is in the gutter, how could the restaurant patrons help but get indigestion?<BR/><BR/>I can't even watch two seconds of that dreadful man on <I>Hell's Kitchen</I> without my stomach's being tied in knots.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585609641158766024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109191265483301907.post-32495192290524254582008-06-15T08:55:00.000-05:002008-06-15T08:55:00.000-05:00JEWISH...ha ha ha ha ha...gotta love the innocence...JEWISH...ha ha ha ha ha...gotta love the innocence in that remark.<BR/><BR/>Richard...really, you wanted Richard to win? I thought Richard was a little too into "I'm Richard, I'm the Greatest" bit. I really liked Stephanie and was happy she won. <BR/><BR/>Hey, I watched every episode of this show...can you believe it? Probably has something to do with my new hobby of knitting and being able to sit still in one place for any given length of time as long as I can knit! <BR/><BR/>Now, however, the television is off for the rest of the summer...yahoo! <BR/><BR/>I could be wooed into a movie, however....Kaytehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892296035070233639noreply@blogger.com
