/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I've never tried his food so I don't know.

But I think his assholish behaviour is a persona used to draw in viewers

he's a donkey

>>5710751
He is a lot more asshole-ish in the American versions of his shows. If you watch the British versions, he actually comes off as a rather nice guy, but rather intense and still swears a lot.

awful caricature of the industry that makes daily life harder for anyone actually in a chef position.

a big part of the foodie cancer that is slowly destroying my passion and career

I'd fuck him.

>>5710740

he's a big guy

never seen the american version but in the uk version he comes off as very likeable and nice with maybe a bit of a temper

>>5710771
>destroying my passion
that's what you get for being passionate about something stupid

>>5710776
I'd fuck him SO HARD

>>5710783

For you.

Read both of his autobiographies. Ate at his 2m star joint and his other places in NYC and London. Seen about all of his TV shows:
Boiling point
Beyond boiling
Trouble at the top (watch him totally not flip out when his second best chef sends him a raw pork dish to taste. It is on YouTube.)
All seasons and episodes of:
UK and us hells kitchen
UK and us kitchen nightmares
Cookery course
UK's best restaurant
F word

I also have about six of his cookbooks. I know about twenty of his recipe by heart.

A few to years ago, I emailed his uk office asking for a publicity photo. They sent me one - autographed - and it now hangs under glass in my kitchen.

I guess he's alright.

>>5711118
Oh also hotel hell.

And he's the reason I bought classic ikon knives (they feel best in my hands anyway, no regrets) and a brietling watch.

Anyway, if you read his auto biography, humble pie, you will very clearly understand why he is the way he is and why it's not really an act. He had a hellish childhood.

>>5711132
Abusive alcoholic father and such.

>>5711118
Link to the vid? I am unable to find it.

As much as I know his shows are fake, I still love watching them. I heard he was a shitty person outside of it though which is a bummer because I want to like him

>>5710740
His American shows are disgusting and I hate that people think it's authentic.

His UK shows are good.

>>5711166
One of the GRKK US episodes had me debating whether it was fake or not due to Gordon finding a dead rat right next to the entrance door that Gordon happens to suddenly see when he walks in.

He's a pretty cool dude

>>5710740
He is a bad actor and a mean person.

>>5711153
I've been reading about him. Apparently he's not as perfect as he wants you to see, of course, those Scots. He has chin surgery annually because his chin is a pig snout. He cried when he lost a Michelin star at one of his restaurants. Hired a guy to steal a places booking book thing and tried to blame it on the guy who taught him how to cook and said the motivation was jealousy.

He's still cool and I'll keep watching his shows, but crying? Really?

>>5711174
Blackberry or whatever? Saw one where this black mama and her mother ran a business and he walks in to find a dead mouse behind the door. The owners fiancee/husband says he thinks Gordon planted it there.

>He has chin surgery annually because his chin is a pig snout.

So, what? He probably has his teeth whitened. Being on TV and all.

>He cried when he lost a Michelin star at one of his restaurants.

So he's... human? Other chefs have committed suicide because of the threat of losing a star.

>Hired a guy to steal a places booking book

No, actually he stole it himself. And each day he faxed them the bookings for that day. The restaurant in question, Harvey's, was screwing him over and was well deserved.

>>5710771
If you think a TV personality can destroy your passion in something you truly love, it's not your passion.

>>5711166
Had a friend who talked to him during his promo-appearance and dinner event when he was in Auckland. Apparently, Fox TV execs wanted him to ham it up as much as possible and then gave it a double dose of shouty-McSwearsalot during the cutting and editing of the footage.

>>5711230
Think it was Blackberry. It could be planted but then again, you can hear the staff discuss the other dead mouse they found before Ramsay and the film crew showed up.

I dont watch Hells Kitchen anymore but when I did I think I completed at least season 1

what I remember was he told the people who won the competition his aspiration in life was to be apart of the UK futbol team and he's surprisingly really good at futbol.

The other thing I remember from Kitchen Nightmares was when Gordon went to Australia and the fucking senile 98 year old bitch pulled a shotgun out of her car and told Ramsey to fuck right off he wasn't touching her restaurant

despite the fact they were $150,000 in debt

<--- Lets not forget this bitch now. She will forever be in infamy

>>5710740
He's a power tool.

>>5710740
I hope he dies.

>>5711873
>Reddits shit
kek
can't argue with that

>>5711166
Meh.

Masterchef he seems authentic and so does he in Hotel Nightmares. It's just Hell's Kitchen that he puts on that persona

I only ever started watching any of his shows a couple months ago but they've been entertaining. Whether him acting is an act or not doesn't really matter to me, if you paid enough money I'd out-douche guy fieri.

>>5711537
>that many women in a kitchen
no dude

>>5710740

Had a short chat with him at a meet and greet, he's pretty nice actually.

>>5710751
>But I think his assholish behaviour
Welcome to the high stakes quality control intensive food industry.

If this wasn't a show where you have to eliminate people one at a time or just have to put up with somebody to save their food business they would've just been told to leave on the spot.

Decent, but pales in comparison to God.

pretty entertaining and tasty recipes

>>5711132
>you will very clearly understand why he is the way he is and why it's not really an act. He had a hellish childhood.

Isn't it more because of his tutelage under Marco Pierre that his chef style is the way he is?

>>5712173
I like him and hate him for the same reason - his incredibly scientific and technical approach

he's an extremely annoying man but a very competent chef without being a terribly modern one.

>>5711221

"The heat of the celebrity kitchen has long provided fuel for some fiery professional rivalries.
None more so than the simmering tension between Gordon Ramsay and his one-time mentor Marco Pierre White.
So when a scooter-riding raider made off with his precious restaurant reservations book and Ramsay pointed the finger at London rival White it was to ignite one of the most intriguing mysteries of the culinary world.
Was it just another spat between the equally hot-headed duo, or was there a genuine case of criminal rivalry?
The answer, so it seems, is neither.
For some nine years later it has emerged that it was all an elaborate trick dreamed up by Ramsay, fearing he was about to be deposed at his Michelin starred Chelsea restaurant Aubergine by White.
Ramsay admitted to organising the raid in an interview with the New Yorker magazine, describing his ruse as a "stroke of genius"."

Fucking this.

If you look up the winners of Hells Kitchen USA, I think only 1 winner was actually ever given the job that was advertised as the prize. The rest were given a worse job, or nothing at all. Also if you watch episodes back-to-back, its so obvious that every episode is almost identical. The way each challenge goes, the way it is laid out, all too similar to appear in any way genuine. In episode 1 of season 8 and season 9, someone collapses and has to be rushed to hospital and cant continue in the competition, a bit too much of a coincidence in my eyes, and clearly scripted.

Restaurant Gordon Ramsay on Royal Hospital Road however, is impeccable. By far the most memorable dining experience I've ever had. Well deserving of its 3 stars. And I enjoy a lot of his UK tv programs, which seem a little less scripted

>>5710740
In his US shows he's really acting for viewers. The fact he's great at it really makes me respect him more (the guy can act, too!). In his UK shows he's great. He really does care and knows his shit when it comes to making food biz succeed. When I was a shitty angsty teen that had no interest in cooking his "viewer-catching" persona hooked me in and gave me the love of cooking and appreciation of good food that I have today. He's not my number 1 idol, but I am very grateful for his presence.

I recently read that he's going bankrupt.

So what you're saying is you'd suck his dick and let him fuck you in the ass?

>>5710740

He just wants to give good food to people so he pushes the contestants on Hell's Kitchen to make really good food.

>>5710740
I thought the pencil was kept in place with his forehead ridges

>a load of neckbeards whose biggest accomplishement is putting sriracha on a hot dog
>having opinion on one of the most decorated chefs in the world

toppest of keks

>>5712827
Sometimes I go to open the Sriarhachi and when I twist the tip it spits up into my eye.

>>5712019
yea because he didn't see how shitty your cooking was

>>5711221
>implying you wouldn't cry if you lost one of your life's passions biggest achievest that was incredibly hard to earn

>>5711873
What episode was the Australian one?

>>5712412
Yes

>>5711623
yes, they do discuss the appearance of mice- over a year before that moment. i'm almost certain it was planted by the crew to create tension and drama, really shitty of them ,but whatever.

>>5712412
Why not.

>>5711537
>No, actually he stole it himself. And each day he faxed them the bookings for that day. The restaurant in question, Harvey's, was screwing him over and was well deserved.
based

I want him to pound my (non-michelin) star.

Ramsey a shit.

Actually he pretended to steal his own reservation book so his benefactor wouldn't get his job at Aubergine, wtf is Harvey's, though the one who taught him his craft never was looking to take it from him. Then the douche bag showed up at White's wedding with a television crew for one of his cooking programs. What a cunt.

>>5710740
Show is almost completely unrelated to cooking.

>>5712268
No, it's because he never got approval of his father when growing up. He has a hole in himself that he tries to fill with cooking perfection.

>>5712412
Yes, no condom.

>>5710787
in the american version they do everything they can to make him look like a real asshole.
god, even though I hate watching it i'm watching the usa version of kitchen nightmares. in the uk version it feels like he's actually solving a restaurants problems, not giving them a bunch of new equipment and fixing their family life

>>5710740

How a cook with 3 Michelin stars can write a cookbook that repeatedly calls for fucking cherry tomatoes is beyond me. And I wouldn't like his scrambled eggs either.

>>5712173
He's a nice guy but I don't like how his shows are always about childhood nostalgia.

>>5715505
A big reason on why it's about childhood nostalgia is because it's because his recreating dishes from his childhood with his own methods, which gives the dish a entirely new level of identity and complexity.

>>5715514
Go away GRDF

>>5715514
>ZOMG guys he put fruit loops in chocolate milk guyz. Best cookery eva! He just bloo dat shit up.

I think if he got in my face and yelled at me I'd tell him to fuck off and walk out. And if he laid a hand on me I'd knock him out.
