A few more details for Gordon Ramsay’s new US show Masterchef have now been nailed down.

Apparently the show will air on a Thursday and will be piggybacking Hell’s Kitchen for part of it’s season (I can see the headlines now – stay in for Gordon Ramsay night on Fox) July 29 is the magic date, but it seems it will only air once per week (the Australian version on which it was based aired five days a week (from memory)).

Guest judges are Mario Batali, Joe Bastianich and Graham Elliot Bowles. (click on their individual names for wikipedia links – I have no idea who they are!)

Just a reminder Hell’s Kitchen starts June 10!

We have a countdown timer in the left hand column for Masterchef and Hell’s Kitchen Season 8.

For those Hell’s Kitchen fans, just came across this article on Rock (series three winner) and what he is doing at the moment. I must admit I mis-read the story, thinking that he is actually serving nuggets on a restaurant campus! I didn’t know that Rock was so well educated. I’m glad to hear that he is doing so well, when I was in Vegas a few years ago a went to Green Valley Ranch and was told that he wasn’t in the restaurant anymore and that he’d moved into customer service or something.

Here’s what Rock says about Gordon – “He’s a hard ass and that’s an understatement.”

Here’s Gordon and Rock -

“Rock deserved to win Hell’s Kitchen,”  “He’s a very confident cook, and he has become a very good leader. He can motivate staff, he can create. All those qualities are not easy to find in one, Chef Rock has all of them”

Anyway here’s the link to the story – enjoy!

As we reported many moons ago, little Gordon Ramsay aka Felix Light appeared on the second last episode of Hell’s kitchen and gave the remaining chefs a dressing down, although it wasn’t with his usual language! (i imagine US audiences couldn’t bear to hear a child swear or even the hint of him swearing with the ‘bleeps’???

Check it out (while it lasts) at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnTLV1rFY2s and he features at the 4:40 mark.

Enjoy!
