I hate the professional kitchen round, they aren’t trained chefs, it’s a little bit like asking a first aider to stand in as a scrub nurse in an operating theatre though without the possibility of killing anyone or leaving a swab inside a sauce. :)
[I would also be blumming peeved if I was paying restaurant prices for a meal cooked by an amateur , I know the punters aren’t paying but it’s the same difference.]
I so agree.
I hate these professional kitchen rounds, they are so artificial and unfair.
It’s also impossible to work out how they’ve been marked or how these segments add up to the decisions made by John and shouty Gregg.
To echo other posters, John has gone past lockdown scruffy and now looks unhygienic. Wash your greasy hair you slob, you’re on television!
PS. Why bother inviting Marcus Wareing? He hated Alexina’s dish, ode to the chilli, but of course no way John was letting her go. His palate is so buggered he can only taste chilli!
