Watching last night’s episode was a little weird, knowing that I was going to get the boot. But I know damn well sure that Matt’s ass should have been out the door before mine. He was the cause of our downfall last night.
I think Chef Ramsay booted me because of my attitude. I really didn’t have a bad attitude, it just came off like that because you have all your team mates standing there watching you with their hands in their pockets, trying to get the rest of the meals out, which was slowed because of the raw chicken at the beginning of the service.
I had everyone screaming, “Where’s this? Where’s that?” and I couldn’t hear Chef Ramsay. When I go to answer him, it comes out like I’m giving him attitude because it was loud.
I don’t mean I was set up by Hell’s Kitchen, but I’m just saying we had raw chicken and burnt burgers. I can’t re-cook pasta; I have to make it fresh from scratch. You ever eat re-heated pasta? It’s disgusting.
Given the quality Chef Ramsay demands and deserves, I’m not going to give him reheated pasta. I had to do it again and it put me in a hole. When I’m the last person to put out entrees, it looks bad.
When I yelled, “It’s coming!” it was really directed at my fellow team mates, though I don’t really call them ‘team mates,’ since they were just people. I don’t feel we were ever a team. Everybody was out on his own, and that’s fine if it’s later in the season, but not the beginning.
I could apologize to Chef Ramsay because I’ve got the utmost respect for him.

Re: Raw Chicken And Burger Pucks Burn Craig’s Pasta
By luyen, April 23, 2008 at 16:36Everyone in Hell's kitchen treats it like me against them, or tries to make alliances a la survivor, but Chef Ramsay sees through it, he can pick out who has potential, who works hard, and who's just blowing smoke.
That's too bad, because although i'm not a cook, i can tell that even in the format of this show, everything depends on team-work, and rarely have I seen either blue or red team members willingly accept someone's leadership, even if it means their side winning, there's always a bit of that chip on their shoulder.
Whenever one side works more like a team, they invariably win, and everyone looks better too - it's unfortunate it has to be so competitive, because I'm guessing in a real life kitchen, you need a team leader, not a prima donna.
Best of luck Craig.

By aftaab, April 23, 2008 at 15:16Too bad! I really thought Mat was going to get cut for sure. It's inexcusable to be serving raw chicken and overcooked burgers to kids. Looks like Gordon Ramsay really has it in for Ben too - he's probably expecting a lot more from him.
