When my wife and I first started dating, one of our favorite in-jokes were the tapes by The Jerky Boys. One memorable one has them calling a local bakery and asking for the “Big Fat Muffin Man”.
And now I've seen him, and his name is Dewberry. But then, what else could it have been?
Dewberry, a pastry chef from Stockbridge, GA is one of the contestants on Fox's new reality show, Hell's Kitchen, which kicked off tonight. Anchored around celebrity British chef, Gordon Ramsay, the contestants are competing for the prize of their own restaurant. Whether it's a swanky joint like Aureole, or a McDonalds on Rte 46 is not clear at the moment. But the competition itself is secondary to the main point of the show - watching Ramsay live up to his reputation as one of Britain's worst bosses, and I suspect that Dewberry has been selected to provide nothing more than a dart board for Gordon to throw his insults.
I'll say again what I said a couple of weeks ago - this is required viewing. Ramsey makes Kevin Spacey in Swimming with Sharks seem like an anger management counsellor. Believe me, this is one you'll be glad you TiVoed.
And Dewberry, good luck mate. You're about to be humiliated in front of the entire country. Hopefully the profits from your restaurant returns will offset the cost of the lifelong therapy you'll need.

Oh that was a great first episode. Dewberry got his fat ass chewed out!
The best part was the lady who had to select two people to get fired told Dewberry not to worry that he was safe and than immediately called him out as one of the two to be fired. The look he gave of absolute horror and surprise was classic.
Next weeks previews had him crying, a lot! Should be good.
The only negative is it seems a bit staged and Gordon Ramsey tries too hard to be an ass.
