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!

Normally most of the stories that pop-up on my Gordon Ramsay Google Alert is just useless gossip. This story may well be the same, bolstered by interested in Gordon Ramsay’s wife Tana now that she is competing on ITv’s Dancing on Ice in the UK, but we thought this one was at least worth passing on.

It seems with the lower than expected ratings for the F Word, unnamed insiders are suggesting that Tana would be an appropriate co-host for Gordon. No word yet whther it will be a revamp of an existing show (F Word being the most obvious) or a brand new concept, but three different sites are running the sam estory word for word. Click here to follow the link first one I came across.
