Local Cook on Hell’s Kitchen
Mar 31, 2008 Television, chefs
Although it’s the one Ramsey show that actually irritates the hell out of me, Hell’s Kitchen is back upon us tomorrow night and with it a local, Christina Machammer, will be hitting the national airwaves.
Josh Galliano gave me the heads up saying that “Christina is from St. Louis and used to work with us at An American Place and she is [now] attending the CIA.”
The winner “will earn a coveted senior chef position at Ramsay’s new restaurant, Gordon Ramsay at the London West Hollywood.”
Congratulations to Christina for getting on the program and for putting up with Ramsey on his most ego-boosting program.

Top Gear
Feb 28, 2008 chefs, general food
Clearly food is my thing, so when one of my newly favorite TV shows Top Gear hinted at the fact that the star of one of my other favorite TV shows had been on, I went in search of the footage in the one place I knew it would be.
And of course I found it.
Top Gear by the way is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen in my life, and the other fav is specifically the UK Kitchen Nightmares.
