Re: (...)
Man oh man do I love having BBC America. I not only like the news and the Friday night of British comedies but they run Chef Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares (both European and American versions) followed by Chef Ramsay's F Word every afternoon!!! Holy cow it is like two hours of pure culinary bliss for me.
*Keep in mind I have a framed 8x10 glossy autographed photo of the Chef on my desk at work.

I enjoy him more on the British versions than the American versions. He seems to play up the crass harshness on the US versions a bit too much. I know that is what the US audience supposedly likes but I am not a big fan of it. Now if they would air the British version of Hell's Kitchen with Chef Marco Pierre White or even the repeats with Chef Ramsay I would be thrilled!

I absolutely love him. Bob and I are going to have to fight over his cookbook if we ever manage to get a copy. I love his shows on BBC America and you're right; they don't portray him as a crass, nasty, egomaniac.
