If you have seen some of his British shows..I think 1 called "the F Word" he is actually very passionate about cooking and goes to peoples homes and shows them how to cook and stuff.
Yea he plays it up a bit on Hells Kitchen, but I guess I would get pissed too if Sous
can't make a freaking Risotto or send up burnt or raw food to the pass thinking it is edible to the public.
