The Brits can be scary folks with their superior verbal skills and sophisticated disdain: Americans hear the accent and expect decorum, tact, painfully perfect manners. And then you get called an "ignorant fucking cunt" and are left wondering what the hell just happened - but the funny thing is, you liked it!
This would seem to be the reasoning behind the FOX series Hell's Kitchen starring foulmouthed Brit Gordon Ramsay.
If you have never seen it - well, first of all we don't believe you. Second, it works like many of the build-em-up, smash-em-down, crown a winner reality competitions shows. Think Project Runway, America's Next Top Model, or Duck Hunt.
Still, they get to be on TV and lets face it, that's the
real American dream.
If all of this sounds like it's too good to be true, you're
in luck. Casting is now open for the next season of Hell's Kitchen and an open
call is coming to South Florida.
If you are an aspiring chef and would enjoy some
fame-by-public-pilloring then get yourself down to Miami for the open call
Monday, November 15 at the Hard Rock Café at Bayside from 10 a.m. to
4 p.m. and Tuesday, November 16 at the
FIU School of Hospitality and Tourism Management from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
