The timing couldn’t have been more in our favor. I was so pleased when Kent called with the invite. I couldn’t wait to share the experience with Kim!
It probably didn’t help our Dallas chef that we were making him even more nervous by chatting it up with him like two infatuated school girls… I mentioned to Kim before we got there that the added “comedy” or “drama” was exactly the kind of thing the producers looked for, that it would better our odds of making the cut and being on the show. I’ll have to admit it was funny when the first shrimp flew out of the pan. He was so embarrassed and we were laughing so hard, our table was soon surrounded by cameras. Then, as if it were scripted so they could “get the shot,” out flew another shrimp and with it, the entire pan! That’s the part you all got to see—it was Kharma at its best!
After calling Kent and telling him about the “buzz” at Southwest, he was elated and even agreed to answer a few questions, as we tried to pry what we could out of him as to the “behind-the-scenes and behind-the-glass” goings on in Hell’s Kitchen.
Thanks again Kent, for agreeing to field some questions in the coming weeks!
Okay, don’t be shy. Ask away. Kim and I got it started…you can take it from here!
