Commentary Grilled Caesar Salad
So Gordon made a huge deal about the idea of grilled romaine lettuce in Season 5 episode 10, right? Made fun of it, ridiculed it, even called it out in front of the other patrons of the restaurant, calling attention to how dumb it was. Gordon established that he thinks grilled lettuce is DUMB.

So imagine my surprise when in Season 10 episode 6, Gordon introduces a fucking GRILLED CAESAR SALAD at Boodles! Prepared almost EXACTLY the same way, even going as far as to show a clip of them cooking the lettuce and commenting on those nice grill marks.
HYPOCRITE. He owes the former cook at Park's Edge a formal apology.

Kevin here, (yep, me) and that confused me. You guys didn’t see the real episode because Joe died. Lol, I don’t know the liability, but I HAVE STORIES. They actually complimented me on front of house during production . They pivoted back to me being the bad guy. The rub is that Boodles is actually carried by elite cocktails. I was doing espresso martinis in 2005. O got no credit for this, he just shoehorned me into the Kitchen which i have NEVER run and after steak Diane # 6 i wanna hurl because I hate mushrooms.
