One of our favorite reality TV shows is back for another season! Hell’s Kitchen, where if you can’t stand the heat- stay out of the kitchen!  This show separates the cooks from the chefs in an intense atmosphere where they are pitted against each other and challenged with physical, mental and emotional stability.
Usually by a few episodes in my husband and I can pick our favorites as well as the strongest ones we think will be in the final 5 or so.  And we usually have our least favorites picked by then too!

Sometimes there’s people on there that we wonder how they get along with anyone, or how they can even hold a job when they are so unprofessional and discourteous or have such an ego.

So far there has only been one season that both my husband and I were completely disappointed in the winner, and that was season 8 when Jillian Flathers was eliminated in the final 3.  She was by far the strongest all along the competition and the one that eventually won didn’t stand out that much as a leader and didn’t seem to be extraordinary like the winners usually are.   But, as with most of the ones kicked off towards the end I’m sure Jillian got some amazing job offers as a result of the show.


Hell’s Kitchen is now in it’s 11th season and with the twists and surprises Gordon Ramsay comes up with each season this show has the potential to run for many many more seasons!  So I suggest you get caught up on some past seasons on Hulu!  Plus- we were SO excited to see the return of Jean Philippe (aka JP), Hell’s Kitchen’s Maitre D’.  We missed him!

My hubby and I talk about how awesome it would be to go to the Hell’s Kitchen restaurant   We’re both really interested in trying: Risotto  Beef Wellington, and the scallops!  Those all seem to be the ones that have trouble off and on, and all 3 sound delicious! (we’ve never tried any of them before either)


That’s one thing that I REALLY enjoyed about going on a cruise a couple years ago was the ability to try all sorts of foods!  (plus the fact that they were included with your cruise cost was great too!)  


We joke about what it would be like to experience Hell’s Kitchen as a contestant, but there is no way I could compete!  I may be a great cook (at least that’s what I’m told) but so are a lot of the ones that get kicked off, and I don’t know the techniques and terms of a lot of the things they do.  Plus I don’t know if I could handle getting yelled at every time I made a mistake without crying haha.
