YES: MARCO

Marco Pierre White, who took the reins of the UK’s Hell’s Kitchen (formerly hosted by Gordon Ramsay) is now getting his own show in The Colonies, “The Chopping Block.”  The title is adequately severe without being as in-your-face mass appeal as “Hell’s Kitchen,” much like White as opposed to Ramsay.  While MPW is definitely insane, he does seem to be a little less egotistical than Ramsay - I mean he looks like shit, but didn’t always.  The fact that MPW looks 20 years beyond his real age while Ramsay was recently voted Britain’s Sexiest Chef illustrates the difference between the two and the purpose of each’s dedication.  As for this show, NBC will assuredly edit it such that White looks like a hard-ass psycho but it’ll be interesting to look at the business of opening restaurants as a whole as opposed to just cooking in the kitchen.
