- Quotes
Gordon Ramsay: Look at that thing. So, it's pretty big, right? So, how are you supposed to get it into your mouth?
Lindsey Wright - Server & Assistant Manager: I've never eaten it before.
Gordon Ramsay: Let's try. Come on.
Lindsey Wright - Server & Assistant Manager: Me?
Gordon Ramsay: We're in this together.
Lindsey Wright - Server & Assistant Manager: Oh, no, you ordered this one all on your own.
Gordon Ramsay: That's yours. That's yours there, right? Open wide, please.
Lindsey Wright - Server & Assistant Manager: Wait - there is no way this is going to fit into my mouth.
Gordon Ramsay: Ready? One... two... three.
Lindsey Wright - Server & Assistant Manager: Um-ummm - I can't do it.
After a year, I left to pursue other opportunities, as one does as a chef, and went to Alaska. But Starkville was my home town, and always will be. I was born and raised there and will always love it. I grew up in the shadow of this hotel, and was thrilled to work there. After a few years, and a few chefs coming and going, again as happens in this industry, I was sad to see what happened to the quality of the food and the state of the hotel.
David is just as much a character as he appears on the show. The first time I met him, he was laying in front of the restaurant's stove (they have to be lit from the bottom) with a lit cigarette and a blow torch trying to figure out how to turn on the gas! I will never forget that! I found out about his accident several years after it had happened and was very sad to hear that he and his family were struggling. I'm truly thrilled to see them doing so well. I hope they continue to ride a successful wave. All my love to the Hotel Chester.
