    While I like kilts (obviously), I do not think I could wear one in a working kitchen. By "working kitchen" I mean a restaurant kitchen as apposed to a home kitchen.

    I work in the galley at Viking Cooking School here in Memphis. I wear chef’s pants and a t-shirt with kitchen clogs. I would think a kilt would get caught on things. You move awfully fast and there is a LOT of spinning, fast turning and jumping out of the way. But if it work for Gordon's show then GREAT! Personally I'd like to see the show.

    Gordon Ramsey is brilliant - I've seen a few episodes of KN on BBC America but not that one. Sounds like a must see - thanks for the heads-up!

    Phil, I agree he is brilliant at his job, but his language is absolutely appalling and, as a result I refuse to watch his TV programmes. There are those who watch because of his language, but not me!!

    Agreed. I worked my summer holiday one year as a galley slave on the Paddle Steamer Waverley and wore trousers every day. Kilts just wouldn't have been practical. I've worn a kilt to go as a passenger on the Waverley but it wouldn't have been suitable for working in the kitchen. Kitchen work is largely backstage anyway where the kilts are unseen by the public. IMHO kilts are better suited to front of house staff than a chef. PIM may contradict me though as he cooks brekky in a kilt at Ferintosh.

    Funny thing, in the states - most of his rough language is beeped over or edited out which, I'm suspect you'll agree is no small task!

    Cheers!

    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    That is one word for it Rex!! I am no prude, far from it, but I do not swear and never have, and I do not want it brought into my home courtesy of the TV.
