Why do I like Gordon Ramsey?

Question

I hate people being bullied etc but still love him and his programmes. I heard he has size 14 feet too!

Answer 1

I think you have the answer in your question...the size of his feet!!! :) I do like him too...can't quite put my finger on it (like to though!)

Answer 2

I cannot stand Gordon Ramsay.

This being said, Ramsay is a damn good cook, but browbeating your staff, with the addition of foul language, is not the hallmark of a good chef. A kitchen should rely upon teamwork, and, yes, there should be authority and discipline, but there is no need to be abusive.

I understand Ramsay has a Michelin Star, but this qualification relates to French 'Haute Cuisine', which is going out of fashion, not least among the French. The award is rapidly becoming an anachronism. It does not translate one into a deity.

Anthony Worral-Thompson, Brian Turner and Ainsley Harriott are the chefs to look at today. They espouse a cooking style that is fresh, original and relaxed, and is available to the domestic cook as well as those who are restaurant-employed. I've eaten at Worral-thompson's Notting Grill, an excellent restaurant, and I have also eaten at The Queens Head and Artichoke, a gastropub near Gt Portland St Tube station in London, whose chef admits to being influenced by the cooking of Harriott. The food in this pub, and , for that matter, the wine, is beyond excellence. My local Silver Service restaurant in Harwich UK boasts a chef who admits the influence of Brian Turner - once again, the food is superb.

Worral-Thompson, in particular, has attempted to fuse elements of mediterranean cooking on to the classic French cuisine, and the nouvelle cuisine as espoused by Paul Bocuse, and he has produced a refreshing cuisine that is void of pretension and bullshit. As a chef myself, I am attempting to combine the vegetarian cooking of the Punjab and Gujerat with Eastern Mediterranean cuisine, with some success. Ramsay plods along the Careme/Escoffier track and attempts to make something new in the realms of the exquisite by resorting to the vulgar.

Answer 3

I like him cos he is fantastic chef also he is very successful in his TV programmes.
I know some people don't like him cos he use bad words (F words)
but I believe him as a good chef and good father and husband.
He is very famous on the world with hell's kitchen programme.
I wish one day I work in his restaurant.

Answer 4

Despite being rude and foul-mouthed, he is quite a sincere and insightful person. He knows what he's doing and is rude to the people he works with for a reason. Maybe that's why he earns your respect.

Answer 5

I also hate people being bullied but watching him on Hells Kitchen makes brilliant viewing! I think he gets away with it because he can! He is so entertaining!

Answer 6

Although I already loved him - I rate him even more since I found out that he founded the GORGEOUS chef that is MARCUS WAREING! The bloke heads Petrus - and is a drop-dead-gorgeous genious!

Answer 7

Is it a type of hero worship ? Would it put you off, if you saw him close up, he's pug ugly and has terrible skin and just to round it all off he's a big bully. Still like him ?

Answer 8

An exceptionally good question, because, after all, he is a complete knob.
Just my opinion of course, i think I am still allowed to have one.

Answer 9

maybe the fact that he has size 14 feet and the old wives tale about this and his penis size might have something to do with it..

but to be honest i cant stand the man.. he is just soooooooo..........*?+%

Answer 10

Is it because he really does care about people and food!
