The menu from "Hell's Kitchen" is certainly uninspired, but the menus from
some of his other restaurants look interesting, and the youtube videos I've
seen where he actually cooks indicate that he's got a strong grounding in
classic cuisine.

However, I've noted previously that he's willing to take shortcuts which
compromise quality (e.g., the two-minute risotto made from parboiled rice),
so I'd want to supervise him as he cooked. I'd also have to make sure that
the menu wasn't too ambitious, because his "restaurant" style of cooking can
only be done with at least two people working simultaneously (e.g., one
person doing the cooking while the other one prepares the garnish).
