I don't know if, on the other side of the Pond, you know who Gordon Ramsay is. He's the owner of a couple of Michelin-stared restaurants here, and is a great media junkie - he appears on TV constantly in the UK - berating, belittling, and otherwise crushing, anyone who works for him. Mesmerizing, if awful, TV. A perfectionist who used to be a pro-footballer. Seems he brought some of the aggression of soccer (not just a girl's game here...) into the kitchen. His language is appalling, but on the other hand, he does seem to be a good teacher. Which is why my son would rather consider (with trepidation) working for him (instead of a cruise line, where the training seems to be minimal, but the angst seems to be maximal). I've even heard rumours of suicides amongst the junior minion 'chefs' on cruise liners.... which is why I won't be sorry if my boy stays on dry land.
