Title: Kitchen Confidential?
Post by: Mupepe on August 12, 2008, 07:45:43 AM
On the third episode on Hulu right now.  It kinda rocks so far.  I'll really like this if it keeps up like this the whole season.  I'm guessing it was canceled.

It was on after Heroes I think and it was always terrible.

Kitchen Confidential was canceled by Fox after like two or three episodes.

You watch No Reservations on Travel Channel, right? Bourdain is awesome.

What is Kitchen Confidential? I know it is a book by Bourdain, but I thought he only had A Cook's Tour (awesome) and No Reservations.

Yup.  Loved it.  Watched the entire season on Hulu.

oh.  Hulu has the entire first season.  I've watched 4 episodes so far.  I love it.

And I don't have cable so I can't see that :(

It seems to be a show about his book which I guess is his autobiography.  It's a sitcom set in a restaurant with him as the Executive Chef.  It's fucking hilarious.

I read Kitchen Confidential flying home from Japan. The Tokyo chapter was interesting after being there for two weeks previous.

Only problem I have with Hulu is that they show the same commercial over and over.  One more Bertolli commercial and I'm gonna flip out.

The F Word is pretty good even with it's overuse of celebrities (though Jeremy Clarkson was a laugh).

I finished off this series and in all thought it was pretty good.  I don't get why it was canned.

:bow

I finished it off yesterday.  It had some ups and downs.  But it was mostly funny and they had definitely had good material in there.  And Becky was so hot.  And Tanya too.

Tanya was hot.  That actress was really good at playing a dumb blond.

My biggest problem with the show was that John Cho wasn't featured as much as he should have been.  The bits that featured him were hilarious.

hell yes he was.  I was surprised when I saw him on there and he was great.  There were a lot of really great performances all around actually.  I'm going to buy it on dvd I think.

Also, I really liked that the food didn't take a huge backseat to everything else.  They talked about food A LOT.  I was expecting it to turn into a generic sitcom just set in a restaurant.

I really wish there had been a second season :(
