If Chef was good, a second helping is better even. At Chateau Anglais, Chef Gareth and his crew continue to outrage, outcook and outspice anything broadcast today. Are there more videos in this series?. I want more more more!

If you are expecting subtle, understated British humor in Chef!, you are in for a noisy surprise. Chef Gareth Blackstock, played by Lenny Henry, is loud, insulting, blustering, conceited, and a genius in the kitchen.

This second video contains the 4th, 5th, and 6th episodes of the first series.
(4) Chef tries to find a supplier of illegal unpasteurized cheese for his restaurant, and gets in trouble with the law and with his wife.
(5) Now that Chef and his wife have bought Le Chateau Anglais, they need publicity. Chef must endure interviews with clueless journalists and pose nicely for cameramen. It doesn't go well.
(6) Chef's peripatetic father drops in for a visit and suggests a Caribbean menu. Although Chef knows nothing of Jamaican cuisine, he enlists the bumbling Everton to help.

These episodes are among the best of the first series. This sitcom peaked early and the later series are not as good.

If you liked the irate and biting humor of Basil Fawlty in Fawlty Towers, you are going to absolutely love Chef Gareth Blackstock. Chef runs his kitchen with terror and venom, just as Basil ran his hotel... the problem is that his wife is actually running the show, and only lets Chef think he's in control.

Brilliant! The sort of television show that you invite your friends over to view. Lenny Henry's comedic genius is never more intoxicating than his narcissisic, perfectionistic chef with a penchant for memorable insults.

This is a very cool video, on the best british comedians of the nineties. Buy it, love it, watch it again and again and again.

This second video picks up where the first video 'Chef!' left off. If you've seen the first video you can't miss this one as it's even better!! Excellent work by Lenny Henry! A must have for any British comedy lover!

This show is the best . Anybody thinking of purchasing it shouldnt think ,just do.
