While I'm excited for the show I can't help but think that this is just another chef cashing in on a tv deal...and staying out of the kitchen.

Oh dear, what is he thinking! I think the last time a cooking reality show was on NBC it was "The Restaurant" and we all know what that did for Rocco...

Yeah, but hasn't MPW been out of the kitchen for years? I think I read in Bill Buford's book "Heat" that MPW is more of a restauranteur than chef these days and may have some expertise in running successful restaurants.
Good lord, I'm a food nerd.....

i heart MPW soooo much. and yes, he discussed his retirement in detail in his autobiography.

First I should start by saying I have so much respect for Marco and what he has done for the industry! But for him to go on here in the states which is already saturated with the food shitwork chefs that sell out just to make money pains me to end. The only star really to have come out that mess is Alton! Ramsay is an ass I wish I had been there to see him cry, I would have thrown salt on him and kicked him in the nuts. You know at first I took to Ramsay like most. but have seen him develop into the monster he is today. Is this really what the US wants to see RAMSAY? Now we have a chance to see a real Chef. There two versions of Hells Kitchen were like night and day, Marcos version being the best, yeah he didn't scream and curse throw food at the contestants and definitely did not put his hands on them like Ramsay and you know when they were sacked or didn't win the end they still respected Marco. I have no respect for the people who watch anything Ramsay does, because they like him they don't even know him, hell England Im sure is glad he went to the US to be a colonial like the lot. Marco has been in my circles really my own little slice of perfection mentoring me and now all of America is going to know him, This SUCKS they don't deserve him!

Marco is certainly an accomplished chef and world renowned restaurateur at this point, but NBC is billing him as the BEST CHEF IN THE WORLD ... anyone else cringe at the accuracy of this statement?
