his schtick over here is embellishing the 'yelling' angle.
His show on the BBC "The F Word" was a great show; way more entertaining. He would do apisodes where they would raise, say, chickens etc, then butcher then and create a nice meal; or lamb etc. He was big on 'honoring' the animal that is giving it's life for our food ; not sure if 'honor' was the right word,..but you get the idea. There was a lot of cool stuff like that involved with that show. Not sure if it's even on now, but we used to watch it all the time.
my experience is 'most' recipes on line, or particularly the peronsality chefs...the food/ recipe is bland. and is simply a starting point that will require lots of adjustments to make it taste as good as they claim on their shows.
the few celebrity type
/ food people where I like their recipes pretty much right out of the gate are Ramsay, Alton Brown, and Ree Drummon (Pioneer Woman).
We made a chicken tortilla soup from PW 2 weekends ago, and it was legit. only made a few tiny adjustmets to up the heat a little, but otherwise a great recipe. Her mac and cheese is great too among others.
My wife ate at Ramsay's place in Vegas; she said it was some of the best food she's ever had.
I suspect his food here will be really good, however, I'm not sure what the prices will be. Likely so high that I'll probably never go unfortunately.
Speaking of high end pricey restaruants in KC....Pierponts...I thought that place was average at best (and I'm being generous). Steak was 'good', but not $65 good; then had to buy sides. I got mac and cheese (some fancy version) and it was awful. bland, no taste; literally looked like plain noodles with cheese sprinkled on it. not even kidding. Maybe they had a bad night; but for that kind of money, I'm not going back to give them another shot. I think we dropped like $200+ that night for a special dinner.
