/ck/ - Food & Cooking

He hammed up how bad it was but it looked pretty fucking bad honestly.

America has some decent pizza styles but that overly doughy Pizza Hut tier shit is not one of them.

>>11841019
It was still under cooked enough in the middle.

I'd eat it but I wouldn't pay the 20-30 buck sit probably cost.

>>11841019
The meatball sandwich he ordered in that episode looked delicious

That time James May made a better shepherd’s pie than him.

>>11841019
When he talked shit about Barefoot Bobs seafood basket

>>11841019
You start.

>>11841031
That pizza is one of the times he honestly wasn't exaggerating at all.
It was disgusting.

>>11841019
IT'S LIKE THE PIZZA

THAT ATE DENVER

>>11841113
The Big Boy Buoy?
He had to bypass that.....or else HE would need a by-pass!!!!

>>11841077
That time James May called him a pussy.

>>11841042
Yea it's pretty hard to fuck up a meatball sandwich it's going to be soggy in the bun regardless.

Although if I remember, there was far to much filling for that sandwich, might as well just sell a bowl of meat balls in sauce with a side of bread.

>>11841019
When he's wrong, and actually likes food he admits it. But most of the time he's pretty bang on for the quality part.

When he was bitching about grilled lettuce. Didn't have anything to say when BA did their version, though.

>>11841224
I must know more.

>>11841019
>Ramsay was legit wrong
Any time that cunt opens his mouth, he's wrong.

>>11841510
>3 star chef wrong about food.
OK there CK tough guy. Go make a stupid cast iron thread.

>>11841019
>complains it’s greasy
>doesn’t mention the flavour or texture
I’ve extra plenty of things with a shirt in of grease pools that tasted amazing. What a cunt.

I am sure a lot of the food he's served is not good but I think he exaggerates it or even bashes partially good food cause the audience expects him to trash it and swear a lot.

>>11841019
he has this popular video on youtube of him making a "perfect" burger or something, it's this huge stack on a bun and it just looks fucking impossible to eat. he seasoned the ground meat before making patties too iirc, which probably messes with the texture

>>11841077
He has it on his Youtube channel, you can make it yourself

>>11841505
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xhfJRdwHnU

>>11841542
Yeah 3/5 stars

>>11841495
Grilled... Lettuce?

Now that's sinpky uncalled for. Who the fuck cooks lettuce?

>>11841031
>>11841034
Doughy and soggy? That's just neapolitan style pizza.

>>11841576
Nah, I made it myself and it tasted great. Honestly would recommend.

>>11841019
The time he said you had to cook shrimp while they were living.

>>11842861
post it

>>11841019
>ITT: Times Ramsay was legit wrong
Aside from legit issues with kitchen health code issues, he is wrong fairly often on shit.

>it's not up to my standards!
Okay? and? sometimes greasy shitty food can be a world of it's own

>>11841561
I remember him once actually saying that some bread pudding on Kitchen Nightmares was delicious, Maybe he has a soft spot for British dishes.

>>11841019
Yeah he was wrong, I trust locals more than some douchebag foreign chef

>>11842917
The locals did a blind taste test on that episode and rated that pizza below other local pizzas, all big chain pizzas, and even frozen pizzas from the grocery store. It was trash.

>>11841239

Ramsay's fake tough guy ass EXPOSED

>>11842891
Can't find the clip, but it was from 24 Hours to Hell and Back two to three weeks ago. When Gordo looked like pic.

i tried making gordon ramsey's scrambled eggs but they turned out inedible due to using creamy ranch in it. i don't understand his popularity

I live near the restaurant he did on his 24 hour show thing. Vasi's

https://www.kitchennightmaresupdates.com/2019/01/24-hours-to-hell-and-back-vasis-taverna-restaurant.html

Should I visit?

>>11843176
Not wrong here, burgers that have retarded patty to meat ratios like this one are the epitome of retardation

>>11843265
>using creamy ranch in it

fucking frog posters man

>>11843265
>He thinks ingredients > technique
Fucking retards, you don't even need creme fresche, his eggs are good because of how he cooks them not what he cooks them
You can literally just use butter when he saids to, at the start and towards the end to cool them down and use his on off technique and they'll come out better than buying all the ingredients and using an inferior technique

>>11841542
Oh fuck everyone look Gordon lurks here!

>>11843176
>No bbq sauce
>Sliced onion instead of onion ring

>>11841019
That looks amazing.

>>11843392
yeah but i don't understand how to do techniques and he's stupid to think I would be able to so his recipe is shit.
why can't he just make a normal recipe that people can actually make oh wait he can't because he's a hack.

>>11843586

>>11841019
The one with the microwaved lasengia, that shit was made fresh and only frozen.

>>11842917
There are "locals" who would eat a shit-covered boot cooked in bubbling pitch if it meant boasting about their locale.

>>11843696
tbf tho sometimes kitchens have off days at generally pretty good casual restaurants, and I'm sure a bunch of cameras everywhere doesn't help

>>11841706

Like every nation that knows how to cook.

>>11841495
No fuck you this is disgusting and not a salad in any way. Lettuce alone =/= a salad.

The sliced onion is the single refreshing aspect to this burger.

yes why would gordon be scared of some lanky dude who's smaller than him especially when gordon is famous has bodyguards and could get him sent to prison for a long time

>>11841019
The one where he fucking tells the fish n' ships restaurant TO STOP GIVING SO MUCH LOBSTER. Jesus FUCKING christ why ruin a good thing, let them waste their money.

>>11841706
Hong Kong girl I used to know. They don't, according to her, eat -anything- raw if they can avoid it.

I thought she was fucking crazy first time I saw her, cutting up lettuce into smaller pieces and wilting them in a pan.

Here's the question: if they make it in house, why freeze it? Hell, if they can make it using bulk cooked stuff like sauce they're prepping anyways for the night why not build a single-serving of lasagna to order?

Here's a basic example of that: https://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/lasagna-for-one-505062

>>11844419
he is right. there needs to be a harmony of the ingredients so that they don't one flaver doesn't dominate the whole experience. wouldn't expect an american to understan't this.

nevermind. i missundetstood your comment.

>>11844328
Is it the futa club series?

>>11846429
Yes.

>>11846434
Then I'm in the same boat. What a blessing to be born just in time to witness such a thing.

>unironically watching ramsay's shows
I shiggy diggy, you cheeki breekis

>>11841031
>durr pizza hut is shit
which is why it's one of the largest pizza chains in the nation, right?

>>11846594
Maybe that's because it's the only fucking pizza shop open before 5pm. Pretty easy to be succesful when you have literally zero direct competition for an entire 5 hours a day.

>>11846597
It's really not the only pizza shop open before 5, the local chain here opens at 11 or 12 and there are still a ton of people who prefer pizza hut
>hur shit taste!!!!!!
who cares

>>11846594
You mean collapsing chains, right? I can't even get it where I live anymore, but I can get stuff from the way higher quality local chain in about half an hour?

>>11846613
The overwhelming majority of pizza places are not open for lunch anon and you know that's true. Also most pizza places are shit anyway. There's something about pizza that makes stupid lazy people think it's an easy food to cook and get rich off, and then they go and hire indians who can't read the instructions on the fucking yeast package and they buy the cheapest shittiest ingredients available. I mean it's fucking pizza, there are specialized ovens just for cooking this shit that do all the work, all you have to do is make the dough according to pretty simple instructions and then put toppings on it and they still fuck it up.

Pizza hut is actually near the top compared to other pizza joints, but being better than most of your competition when most of your competition is inedible garbage isn't exactly an accomplishment.

>>11843586
this is why knorr videos exist

>>11846666
out of the 6 local pizza places in my town of 50,000 5/6 of them are open for lunch and only one opens at 4. All the chains are also open for lunch.

>>11846460
>look at me! Do I fit in yet?

>>11846727
Then your town is a freaky ass place.

>>11841019
Pizza shouldn't be floppy or greasy

>>11844373
Don't forget the great clam chowder cooked by that qt chef who hated her job

>>11841576
It's called presentation you absolute rube. The burgers easily compress once grabbed but are presented tall to display the tasty ingredients, I've made them.

>>11845330
Spoken like a true neapolitan

>>11841019
no nigga. That pizza was fucking disgusting.

>>11841019
He didn't find the lamb sauce

>>11846417
We freeze our lasagne and soup, even though it is made in-house
All it is is management saving on waste, throwing away food is to be avoided where possible

>>11849762
Fuck you.
I will never knowingly eat at a restaurant that serves frozen food.
The point of going out to eat is to be served by people who cook professionally, full time.
It's literally your job to cook food for me and the best you can do is reheat some frozen crap you made two weeks ago. If I wanted that I could stay at home.
Frozen fucking pasta you have got to be kidding me.

>>11849762
>We freeze our lasagne and soup, even though it is made in-house
>All it is is management saving on waste, throwing away food is to be avoided where possible
This triggers me so much I had to make a second post.
why the fuck would you throw away food?
You work in a kitchen and you can't find someone hungry enough to take it home?
Why don't you give it to the dishwasher, I already know you crooks are ripping him off at $7.25 an hour and he can't afford to buy food anyways, the least you could do is give him the old leftover crap you'd rather feed to the trash can. Assholes.

>>11846417
Some of y'all have never worked in a non-chain restaurant and it shows.

>>11849857

>>11849879
Cutting costs is one of the only ways some restaurants can even hope to stay open. The place I work at freezes certain things because if we didn't we're just losing money. Shit can't keep forever, and even if you're giving it away to staff/servers, that's literally the same thing as throwing it out as far as your budget goes.

>>11843402

How can people be this stupid?
Self-sabotage.
You don't have to throw that much out.
The reason you throw food out is because you have a giant meme menu full of bullshit that no one orders much of and you have to prep it all in the faint chance anyone ever orders it and then you end up with a freezer full of crap.

If your idea of cutting costs to stay open is freezing food then you're already dead.

>>11841019

it's a fucking pizza. you eat it

>>11849874
Hey buddy, not who you are replying to but let me clear some of this up for you.
> Don't throw away food
Food will be thrown away in every restaurant. Management will almost always have a rule that mistakes need to be thrown away or reused for another order if possible. This is to deter staff from "accidents" that would let them get whatever food they want.
> Don't freeze your food
It's a dark secret of the industry but unless you are at an extremely elite restaurant you can never expect it all to be fresh. I work at an upscale restaurant in DC that freezes desserts and uses various pre made mixes or sauces. People pay upwards of 40 dollars per entree. This is due to a variety of issues including payroll budget, volume of business, and integrity of the cook.

>>11849936
To be clear, I'm a bartender not a cook and I agree that staff should get free food. I've certainly gone hungry more than once at work before. I just wanted to clarify the way things work for you. It's entirely the fault of greedy ownership that views the wellbeing of their employees as nothing but overhead.

>>11844384
What accent is this supposed to be? Lol

>>11849857
I kind of agree with you, I prefer fresh over frozen when eating
That being said, we don't get enough orders for things like soup and lasagne for a batch to be gone through every few days
90% of our menu is more popular, and is cooked to order(e.g. pasta), or at the start of the shift(slow cooked ribs)
If we didn't freeze the 10% of the menu that doesn't fit into these categories, those items would not be on the menu as they would not be commercially viable
Also of note is that our soup is still better then 100% of supermarket soups, and better then 95% of what home cooks could make

>>11841019
i fuckig love sbarro pizza, and that looks absolutely disgusting

How is that supposed to work? Oil floats on water. Unless the pasta can somehow cling onto the oil and hold it while submerged in water, this method can't do anything at all. Has that nerd Alton Brown commented on this???

>>11850568
The monks later on are more polite because they are taught to appreciate whatever they are given but you can tell they don't really like it. Ramsay takes it as genuine praise.

grilled romaine can be fucking delicious, use a lemon vinegrette before, lightly char it and sprinkle Bleu cheese / goat cheese on top, maybe some cranberries too

>>11846727
You're counting chains as pizza places, aren't you? Dominos and Pizza Hut et al. don't count because that's not pizza.
