UPDATE: NAILED IT! Went in for my 30 minutes video interview, and they wound up shooting an hour and 15 minutes of tape, partly because I got the asst. casting director in a couple of giggling fits so they had to retake a few of the "standard questions". Ultimately the final decision will come down to the producer and I guess Gordon Ramsey, but it seems like I probably have at least a 50/50 shot of getting on, if not a little better. I have to make a short video of "a day in my life" and submit it, they were interested in the fact that I play and build custom guitars and wanted that included. Gregg - If I get on I'll be taking at least a couple of Warmoth axes with me, want to talk about product placement?
"Will that be a mayonnaise or Aioli?"
Technically, an aioli is a type of mayonnaise, but most aioli recipes do not include egg.
"I hope there will be a lot of swearing back and forth between you and Ramsay!"
Told them that having spent 5 years as an Army Infantry Sgt., I could no doubt out curse Ramsay any day of the week and more creatively as well.
"I am not familiar with that show. I am not sure if we get it around here, but I will certainly be looking for it now.."
It's to be televised in North America on the Fox network. As noted above, "MasterChef" has been televised already in Australia/Britain; I don't know if the American version will be reshown in the UK/Australia, but most of Ramsay's shows get rebroadcast in other English speaking countries, like the original British version of Kitchen Nightmares and vice-versa.
