i think he can be a total ass... but when it comes to running a restaurant, he knows what he's doing... he can be abrasive, sure, but i wonder how much of that is for the camera (kinda like simon cowell)?
Sharkfins are to Chinese as Tea and Crumpets are to the Brits. You take away a cultures food, you take away its identity. Like what they did to the cannibals, took away cannibalism and wiped out whole villages with the common cold and the bible. Or to the native americans, took away Manhattan island for a trade of beads and smallpox infected blankets.
Im being facetious, relax its another glorious AM here in America, time to have an espresso and homemade waffles...
I think all those British celebrity chefs are horrible. I've watched Hell's Kitchen for like 2 minutes and I needed to change the channel immediately. I don't understand why other people would find that someone who verbal abuses others night and day entertaining.
And I think the ban of shark fin is a much more complicated issue than all these westerners suddenly jumping on this bandwagon and shouting "No shark fin soup for you Chinese people!" There should be more stringent law to limit the amount of harvesting of shark. Or maybe fishermen are required to use the whole shark when caught and not just cut off the fins and throw them back in water.
It seems that when someone whitie comes along and points a finger at someone of a different race it seems the whitie is vilified for pointing something out to them they don't want to know.
It's not about no shark fin soup for Chinese it's about understanding, conservation and responsible farming.

What about the Japanese and the wholesale slaughter of cetaceans? Anyone ever watch the movie called The Cove? If Gordon and the rest of the world wanted to really do something, they should do something about the Japanese.
In the past, sharks were taken for food, not just the fins and it was sustainable since the fishermen only took what was needed to sell to market, which is meat and all. Currently, the meat is not worth as much as the fins, so naturally they go for whats the highest profit.
I dont support killing an animal for just one part, an animal flesh and all if taken should be used as best as possible. You have to remember though there is no such thing as a humane kill. You're still taking a living creatures life, but its best to do it as painless as possible.
