That was a good episode. I saw that a few months back. The women sure loved the frenchmen in kilts.

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.

I wore mine up there and had no problem. Although my "kitchen kilt" is some good heavy cotton.

Over here BBC America 'bleeps' out all his profanities. Otherwise, his show is enjoyable, but makes you wonder what really happens behind the scenes at a restaurant. Probably wouldn't want to eat there if we knew.

I have cable and the cooking channel (go figure) and have been unable to locate this show - but I'll keep my eyes open for it...........

I have a part-time catering/personal cheffing business. Though I haven't done any gigs in a kilt (yet), I've been tempted to advertise myself as "The Kilted Caterer".

But in a full commercial kitchen? Na.

The kilt is adaptable to any location!!!!

Well, almost.......SCUBA?

I have to agree with Hamish. Although the language is bleeped out in America, You still know what he is saying. Tonight I watched "My Family" on BBC america. They did a takeoff on Gordon Ramsey. It was really hilarious. But I still agree with Hamish.

The show is on BBC America, and the episode was a good one.

I am a regular kilt wearer and a caterer and I wouldn't let anyone (including me) work in my kitchen in a kilt. With the lower legs bare there is no protection. The only time I wear a kilt for work is when I am running a Scottish event or doing a Scottish cooking demo.

It's a good show but the language is over the top.

I have had to start wearing aprons in the kitchen, just too many stains on the kilts.

I can put up with Gordon's language, just about, but it is the dimbos they get trying to cook, or trying to run a restaurant which put me off watching the various programs he's done.

I think some of them would have me not just swearing but throwing things, possibly things with sharp points.
