finally! love this on my day off aswel, Perfect!
Sounds to me like the owners want to do the cooking not the chiefs they employe..one of them impossible jobs
Allen may not be fine dinning but I would of smashed that first dish he made. Love that style of food
young guy has a great future ahead of him. He just needs abit more charisma but hes gonna be big!
Alex is such a class act. She's so vibrant yet sophisticated at the same time.
I really feel for Alan, he was so nervous and had some unexpected Black Swans.
Great bunch of men and some fabulously innovative dishes. Wonderful.
This series is fantastic.
Scoff scoff presentation, scoff scoff fine dining, michelin, some french, shortlist. Capitalism will eat your soul.
So glad they selected Ben!
Thank you for uploading loving this tv show😊
Those owners mommy’s boy especially how annoying
Ben is just 24 years old. The other one is Simon is another very experienced chef. Ben have a huge future
Alex is so stylish too. Love her floral skirt and sunshine top.
Great series. Great chefs, owners are open to ideas and suggestions. And unlike many cooking shows, especially the US ones, a real focus on the food rather than drama.
🎉can’t wait for the finalè❣️
I need the next episode nooooow
Thank you " darling" you don't say that In a professional interview.
I've been in a few of these types of hotels called " fine dining," last time I was in Guildford and was very disappointed they didn't deliver what usually was in the menu.
What you understood about this position: To be a Slave & forget my family ! 😂
I'm just having a bowl of parsnip soup. It dissolves on my palate too. I'm obsessed. . So there!!!!!
I’d steer clear of Simon on all levels. “You don’t Gell” son, you don’t Gell with many owners. This guy will be here 3/4 months, and gone. One argument with the cranky old guy, and it’s over.
Look your either going to get a 35 year old with baggage or a 24 year old you can mold.
Mold him, and make him family.. Ben is a once in a lifetime hiring.
hardly fair on tthe others when allowed to spend a third more
Could Alex get any hotter!!!? 😍
Well straight away I wouldn't go to Sat Bains in my Porche. Those portions
are very small. What's with the dotted stains on the plate. He's pretending to
be something he's not. 2 Stars ?? who did he confuse. ??
The young lad at 24 has no life experience, so why would you employ him ?
The current staff look up to an older man. It's a human thing.
$10 pounds for the pigeon???? You can shoot all you want of them here and get them for free. I wouldn't eat one if you paid me. The egg yolk might cost around 5c and the rest??? Ever see what birds eat and drink? You wouldn't eat one if you knew.
Is that Ben Murphy from the Launceston Place? Must be. He is about 32 or 33 now. So that series must be bare old. Funny to see him that young
This is a very underrated series when you see the absolute tosh that for eg great British menu has become
Does anyone know the name of the piano piece in the intro?
make food rthat no body can afford to eat.xcepting hunters and country folk that do it themselves.
Am really excited for the final episode!!!
😂gastro hotspot
team ben
Ben received national chef of the year 2023 presented by Gordon Ramsey
How do I watch the next episode?
Incredible talents in the kitchen, Alex polizzi has always been a favourite of mine her presenting simply can't be matched.
My money is on Ben. Alex is right about his talents and the buzz it will create for them
Can’t wait to see the next episode. Love this programme
4:15 said to me that these people are in Lala land.
There are so many pigeons where I live that you could had it for free.
Wot a load of twaddle.
Ben is so cute
I’ve worked with chefs like Ben before and they are truly incredible. Such an understanding of food, that young man will go far
Ben is really talented. He is just what the owners want.
I find it very unfair how the never asked Ben the cost of his meal which was way over what it should have been make you wonder why the didn't
Chef ben is now one of the best young chefs in Europe and has won numerous awards 👏
Alex is so so hot
Gareth Bale a man of many talents.
This channel is superb, you have this and Marco Pierre Whites Great British Feast. Thank you!
At this rate Kristy shouldn't be looking for chef's, She complains alot.
I could not eat that food
The young chef was beaten in the end by a chef that he already knew, a judge of a cooking competition. Management of a kitchen, costing, people skills, portion control, waste management… It's all equally important.
