The setup

On a glossy reality cooking show, a nervous contestant serves his quiche to a head chef whose every sentence sounds like an insult right up until it sounds like a compliment.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

It's that you haven't made it for me sooner.

And when I say "bad," I mean Michael Jackson bad.

Just not any world that I live in.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

On the set of Gideon's Kitchen, contestant Drew presents a chicken quiche to Chef Gideon, who opens each verdict with a stern complaint and then twists it into something that might be praise. Drew keeps thanking and apologising on cue as the chef swings between warm and savage, compares the dish to a pop legend's decline, orders him out of the competition and then insists he belongs in the finest restaurant on earth. The critique escalates into an outright death wish before dissolving into a vague shrug of a final verdict, leaving Drew (and the audience) unable to tell whether he won or lost.

    Chef Gideon

    Drew, come forward.

  2. 00:06

    Drew

    Yes, Chef. This is a chicken quiche with cremini mushrooms, baby spinach, and feta cheese.

    Chef Gideon

    Unbelievable. Well, Drew, I have a huge problem with this dish. It's that you haven't made it for me sooner.

  4. 00:34

    Drew

    Thank you, Chef.

  5. 00:36

    Chef Gideon

    Because if you had, Drew, then I would know how good you are at cooking food that's bad.

  6. 00:42

    Drew

    I'm sorry, Chef.

  7. 00:43

    Chef Gideon

    And when I say bad, I mean Michael Jackson bad.

  8. 00:48

    Drew

    Thank you, Chef.

  9. 00:49

    Chef Gideon

    You know how he looked really, really bad at the end of his life?

  10. 00:53

    Drew

    Chef, Chef, I'm sorry. I don't know if you like the dish or not.

  11. 00:58

    Chef Gideon

    You don't know if I like the dish or not? Well, let's put it this way. Pack your knives. Get out. You're off the show.

  12. 01:05

    Drew

    Sorry, Chef.

  13. 01:08

    Chef Gideon

    Because you should be working in the finest restaurant in the world.

  14. 01:14

    Drew

    Thank you, Chef.

  15. 01:15

    Chef Gideon

    Just not any world that I live in.

  16. 01:18

    Drew

    Sorry, Chef.

  17. 01:19

    Chef Gideon

    Because frankly, Drew, I'm jealous of you.

  18. 01:21

    Drew

    Thank you, chef.

  19. 01:23

    Chef Gideon

    And your ability to not give a [bleep] about what you cook. This is not fit for human consumption. No, this should be eaten by a higher life form with a more complex palate, but also an altruistic drive to save humanity from dishes like this. Joking, not! You deserve to die! Aah!

  20. 01:49

    Chef Gideon

    so you won't have to endure a life in which you will never exceed what you have achieved here today

  21. 02:07

    Drew

    Thank you, Chef.

  22. 02:11

    Chef Gideon

    In conclusion... Eh.
