Thank you for your service. What are your observations about the generations from the 60's, 80's and late 90's? I'm 48 and like to compare notes with people of all ages. Thanks for the ama.

A lot of contestants on Hells Kitchen seem really egotistical and seem to lack many basic skills that would have been gained working at any midrange or above restaurant. Is this just tv editing or are contestants chosen for their inexperience in a commercial kitchen? Do the contestants ask for their techniques to be critiqued prior to filming? Every time you have to jump in and clear out a kitchens remaining tickets, it looks like you and the other sous chefs complete the orders with minimal drama.
