Hell's Kitchen on FOX - Week One, Part Two of Two

Lesson on Waste

The next morning, after their first dinner service, Chef Ramsay sent a wake-up call to the aspiring chefs. He sent Mary Ann and Scott into the aspiring chefs' dorm at 5:24 a.m., and Mary Ann and Scott woke the aspiring chefs up by banging on pots and pans; talking about a rude awakening. While they were not happy with their wake-up call, the aspiring chefs scurried from their beds and got dressed to see what Chef Ramsay had in store for them.

Once dressed, the aspiring chefs met with Chef Ramsay by the dumpsters.

"Good morning," Chef Ramsay began.
"Good morning," the aspiring chefs replied in unison.
"Last night was embarrassing," Chef Ramsay voiced.
"Virginia."
"Yes, Chef."
"You're lucky to be here this morning."

"Larry, what I'm seeing is just a man with no passion. Do you really have it inside?"
"Yes, I do Chef."

"Have any of you, have any idea, how much food you wasted last night? A restaurant will never ever survive with that amount of waste," Chef Ramsay continued and pointed toward the dumpsters.
"Yes, Chef," they all answered in unity.
"Do you really?"
"Yes, Chef," they answered again in unity.
"Get into the dumpsters, and get the waste out, now.

The teams obeyed what Chef Ramsay ordered them to carry out, but not a one of them was happy. The whole time they gagged and complained, but they done as they were told.

The punishment may have been a bit harsh, but I wonder if any of the aspiring chefs will learn from the lesson Chef Ramsay tried to show them.

"Since I woke up, I really don't feel well, but I have to prove myself," Larry said.

Once tons of waste had been gone through, Chef Ramsay stopped the teams and added, "This kind of waste, can never, ever happen again, in Hell's Kitchen. Have you got it?"
"Yes, Chef," they answered.
"Now, go get cleaned. You stink!"
