MASTER CHEF: Casting in Los Angeles!

The producers of “The Biggest Loser”, and Chef Gordon Ramsay (“Hell’s Kitchen”, and “Kitchen Nightmares”) are casting for a new “inspirational” cooking show called MASTER CHEF. The show is co-produced by Ramsay who will also have an on-air role.

New cooking show produced by Chef Gordon Ramsay is now casting!

The show is looking for “amateur chefs” who will have the opportunity to put their skills to the test. The show is NOT looking for professional chefs, rather people who can be mentored and judged by a panel of top chefs in the country.

“Master Chef” is an American version based on a very popular Australian one. Fox is expected to air 12-15 one hour-long episodes. For Ramsay, this new cooking show will be in place of “Kitchen Nightmares”, a previous show of his that also aired on Fox.

The casting call for Los Angeles is tomorrow, Sunday, January 31 at the Farmer’s Market at The Grove in “Sur la Table” from 10am to 4pm.

HELL’S KITCHEN: Fine Dining Ramsay Style!

H.J. meets H.K.!

HOLLYWOOD JUNKET attended a recent fine dining experience under the superb cooking of Chef Gordon Ramsay as FOX’S “Hell’s Kitchen” enters it’s seventh season (only four have been aired) of filming. Season five starts January 29th. The contestants will be competing for a “head chef” position at Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa in Atlantic City.

If you’ve ever watched the show, you’ll understand when I say, our dinner party was very lucky to have gotten through our entrees. No desert though. After about two hours of dinner service, Chef Ramsay was fed-up enough to shut the kitchen down.

Cant’ reveal too much about this experience due to confidentially agreements, but our meals included a rack of lamb, halibut, scallops, and sea bass. All, except two of us were completely happy with the dishes.

Our total time spent there on the premises (including wait time before we entered the restaurant) was four hours. Not bad for a television production that included free fine dining. Best of all, we had a very handsome, very blond, and very stout Chef spouting angry obscenities in the near distance. Ahh, until we meet again Chef Gordon Ramsay!! Can’t wait!
