I watched that show once. I couldn’t believe nobody kicked his ass, or at least left in disgust. It must be totall fake.
the show is highly scripted. Heck, they always make the same dishes...Beef Wellington, John Dory (which I have never had nor seen on a menu) with scallops, etc. You’d think they would mix it up from season to season.
When you are an aspiring chef, you nod your head and take the heat. And I am surprised no one has attempted to kick his ass.
