Big Chef Takes On Little Chef | Heston's Fish Test | Channel 4

[logical23legend]

why waste that fucking food, teach them before they fucking start cooking , fucking english trash

[Jamesborisbye]

This isnt Kitchen Nightmares, these people arent chef's. What good would a Ramsey tirade do? Its the wrong situation. It would be like Alan Sugar going into someone's business and calling all the office cleaners idiots and morons because that business is failing.

[gablison]

how the fuck did they even get the cooking job at the restaurant... i bet they have had frozen food all their lives! i would have loved to have seen ramsey verbally pummel them to shame!

[ricebag]

45 minutes and everything is raw?! wat the hell are they doing for 45 min

[brianyplanb]

nvr gonna stop @ little chef again...

[randomjoe333333]

guess they've never had something simple like a fillet of fish pan fried with some vegetables on the bottom mixed with a sauce

[uberathlete]

Goodness how can people who can't cook run a freakin restaurant?!?!?

[shgjlsfg]

"THAT IS RAAAAAAAAWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!" - Gordon Ramsay

[H0tkebab]

Heston is Mr nice guy compared to Ramsay.

[PirateKing1256]

Gordon Ramsay is just over the top unreasonably rude. I wont be able to work with someone like that.

[DaIcyDreamers]

@PirateKing1256 hes rude in the kitchen because he expects perfection not just lazy cooking

but out of the kitchen hes really nice

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

@DaIcyDreamers

Lots of people expect perfection, but they're not dicks about it.

E.g. Heston. 10/10 in the GFG, against Ramsay's 9/10

[DaIcyDreamers]

@p3rs0nan0ngrata That toke you very long time to reply to my comment. But it's his attitude that made him famous, For example. In hell's kitchen he yells and starts being a dick to everyone. Obviously he's going to make it a hard hell to everyone to get that $250,000. Everyone mostly knows him because of his swearing but it's very entertaining even though it sounds harsh.

[leifey]

Haha at the woman who tried to filet a fish with a chef's knife.

[MWGrossmann]

@leifey Not the ideal knife for the job, but if you CAN'T filet a fish with a chef's knife then you have no place criticising others.

[leifey]

@MWGrossmann It's like watching someone try to hammer nails with a monkey wrench. It's doable, but, as you said, it's not the ideal tool.

And I can filet a fish with a chef's knife, but I know there are better tools for the job. That is exactly why I found it funny.

[phixxwutwut]

this is an embarassment.

[TSsun]

They should be glad that it's not Gordon Ramsay there.

[laksa72]

@TSsun I missed Gordon's colour mouth !

[AragostaBoida]

throw the food? Italian cooking teaches us not to throw anything sry

[kingdomofdalriada]

The people on this program are fucking idiots. especially that old pot holed face women with the short hair and argos earings.

[DvlSnt82]

that's bollocks, he doesn't pay the lower end staff because they are all there on what is called a 'starge'. basically it's like work experience. if someone offered me a place to work in his kitchen i'd do it for free. around the corner at the waterside in they charge over 2 grand for a cooking course with Michel Roux. imagine playing for your high school foot ball team and being offered to play for man utd, but you wouldn't get paid....

[mickyredmire]

Heston Barfinthal? Is he the bloke that gave his Bray customers the sh1ts?

[mattfox06]

Have they never heard of a frying pan? Anyone can fry food.

[younmurda]

wow rofle copter

[snowblazer12]

aha for fuck's sake.

im 16 and i can cook a fish within 45 mins.

its not that hard...

[Spartan54232]

tell me about it

[snowblazer12]

how do you want it?

steam?baked?fried?pan fried?

[mishaloka]

@snowblazer12 poached, cured, braised, confit, deep fried?

[khinsau]

Heston is the one of the best at what he does, he's a scientist/3 michlin star chef, however for this role he was the wrong man for the job, all his dishes went over budget as confirmed by the financial director. People who stop at motorway restaurant/cafes want quick, nice, cheap food and a menu they can read and understand (no offence to lorry drivers). Businesses like this and Harry Ramsdens are slowing dying, systemise all processes and move with the times!!

[SCOTTISHPATRIOT85]

sorry but when was the last time you ate at little chef? Their menu is way overpriced frozen guff, they must make a massive profit on the shite they serve because they dont have to pay the monkeys who operate the microwaves a big wage because its unskilled, its little chefs own fault that they are going bust beause they are ripping people off

[gyrobotZ]

This, I cringed in disappointment when my dad considered imitation seafood products tasty. And when there is a well known supermarket that sells fresh seafood nearby. People should aim for fresh delicous cooking, good thing the best British Chefs are trying to fight back the decay that is that frozen phenomenon

[khinsau]

He says he ain't looking for chefs in the Little Chef, although in his new menu, all the dishes require them to cook, make up your mind Heston. Also, the Little Chef CEO kept saying he wanted something more revolutionary and exciting than oyster in Lanc hotpot, and liquid nitrogen seasoning, instead he got fried eggs in the breakfast with droplets of vinegarette sauce, and he was happy with that, what the f***!! LOL

[markantonyw]

still dicks!

[ck360]

With s Adria, his dishes are like appetizers that are to be sampled. With Heston, it's about making the best made meal you could ever imagine. Is one better then the other? No, but I would say they were both on equal levels.

[SCOTTISHPATRIOT85]

agreed, i wouldnt turn down a job with either of them, but if i could work for either it would be heston because i cant speak spanish and adria doesnt pay his staff,

[ric1989]

he doesn't pay his staff!? really?? why is that? what a cunt..

[thebardtenone]

look up 'stage.'

keep in mind they get thousands of applications each season.

[SCOTTISHPATRIOT85]

i would work for him if i could speak spanish and if i was lucky enough to be accepted, he doesnt pay his staff because it is considered a privaledge to work for such a great chef, imagine what you could do in your career after working at el bulli - your going to end up getting paid more in the long run dont you think?

[benawl]

Nor does Heston pay his lower ranked staff.

[paran0id89]

nor do you have to speak spanish to work for adria

[Leekyman2007]

Does anyone know the name of the tune that was used in the trailer for this?

I think it was on at the beginning of the programme too.

[hardgayramen4ever]

this is heston we're dealing with. A totally unconventional, mad scientist of a chef. I'm surprised he didn't get all of the little chef staff to shit over the dishes then pour over liquid nitrogen and charge £100 for it.

This is like a very bad kitchen nightmares type show. Heston should just stick to pouring liquid nitrogen over everything and charging a fortune for it. Chef my arse, as gordon would say.

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

When you have every chef in the world calling you the world's greatest chef, and you can charge 260 quid a head, and you're prepared to spend half of each year refining dishes, then come back and try to show off by referencing Ramsay.

[hardgayramen4ever]

£260 for head? thats expensive, I can get it for £20 where I live.

How does pouring liquid nitrogen over everything make him a chef. What a load of arse.

If one person says he the best another will, people are like sheep, it doesn't mean jack shit.

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

He puts liquid nitrogen onto ice creams because the extremely cold temperature results in an ice cream that has frozen before ice crystals can form, meaning that what you get is something smoother than anyone could make (unless someone invents a non-toxic substance colder than liquid nitrogen that can be used to freeze food).

Heston understands this.

And that is why he is the best chef: he has a greater understanding of food than any other chef in the world, except (perhaps) Ferren Adria.

[markantonyw]

You lot are dicks have you even watched the program!!!!! itsheston trying to make it the best of british! its the shithead owner who wants fancy food........get you facts right first pal!

[godspeed18]

where can i watch full episodes of this?

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

channel 4 online catch up

[greaserleo]

Heston can serve £100 dishes in his fat fuck Restaurant with his trade mark bullshit dried ice (etc). But he does not understand the simplicity or the budgets required by a roadside cafe.

"Ox Cheeks & wine must be £18.95, i must get little chef to puch the envelope"....nonce.

[Jayd2020]

fair comment...I too think he still wants a roadside cafe into a michelin star restaurant...not gonna happen..roadside cafes need to produce fastfood that isn't always fried to fuck...All day brekkies, salads, pie n mash..TRADITIONAL BRITISH FOOD HESTON!!! I for one don't want to pull into little chef after 3hrs on the road to eat ox cheeks or snails in porridge....

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

If you look at the menu, he got all of the dishes under a tenner without compromising.
