Restaurant challenge
2 Oct 2008 08:23 pm- Bah, they're getting help from the other teams. This means Chris is even more screwed because he gets Alasdair doing front of house.
- Chris really is a bumbling fool... He's always so happy and confident while in fact he doesn't grasp what's actually going on and what he's doing wrong.
- It really is a soap opera ... or a bad film
- A Chinese chef who can't cook rice. Class.
- Hm, who to fire? Tough. Pretty much all of them were rubbish in various ways but it's hard to completely adapt to a different way of cooking in a few hours. Harsh. Tim's team getting the breed/name of farmer mixed up was hilarious but not really neck breaking.
- Well, my original prediction was right. Bye, Chris and Caroline.

For me, the older couple are looking like the winners, she is very calm compared to the others...

*nods* Their concept is solid if not particularly original, they *work together*, they just get a bit flustered when they need to do things they don't understand, which, in my mind, isn't necessary. I don't need to know how to cook Thai if my concept is British home cooking. Unlike the others, they actually have the professional background knowledge they need instead of just good ideas and passion.
