One of My Favorite Shows

As a self-confessed Anglo-phile, this show fulfills my need to check out the British culture. Chef Ramsay is one of the most compelling personalities on either side of the pond. He is so passionate about his profession, which usually leads to yelling, screaming and cursing. Not many other professions can get away with this.

My favorite part of the show is the "Recipe Challenge" where a celebrity challenges Gordon to cook the same dish. It's hilarious because--unbelievably--Gordo usually loses these, and his reactions are priceless.

This is such an entertaining show which shows 2 sides of Gordon: at home--with his adorable kids--and at work.
