it's absolute shit and this is the most embarassing video he's ever been in

No.

Dry looking excessively tall burger. Dry looking bun. Held together with one of those gay bamboo picks you'd expect in a sandwich at a golf course.

>>11895741
>tall ass burgers
this is the most "hello there fellow children" thing chefs always do
the point of a burger is simplicity, ramsay just looks like an autistic cunt with this shit, granted he is actually intensely autistic

>>11895741
Why does he look like he's made of playdough?

>le epic burger
Nah, he's lost the plot.

>>11895741
I think he was honestly more concerned with putting on a show for the camera than actually making a good burger. You're crazy if you think you could make a better burger than him IRL.

>>11895757
Cheese looks snotty and dry too. Like someone fucked up a steamed burger

>>11895741
Is this what that shadow thing was all about? Giant burgers made out of cat?

>>11895741
He doesn't have to be perfect at everything, I wouldn't go to his restaurant for a burger.

>>11895834
you shouldn't go to his restaurant at all

>>11895842
What if I wanted a gourmet burger?

>>11895741
>complains about tall burgers
>makes tall burgers
500 iq

Is he coked out? Why is he acting so strange?

>>11895918
Crippling ocd

>>11895918
probably

>>11895915

Gordon Ramsay is basically a porn star at this point.

What he does on camera is not what you should strive to do in the real deal.

>>11895926
I'm surprised this is the first edit like this I've ever seen.

>>11895767
>>11895757
>tall burgers
I hate this. Makes eating them so impractical.

>>11896145
Its that and also that all you'll end up tasting is a massive, dry patty. You'd barely be able to taste the cheese and vegetables

>>11895754
He looks super hungover to me. I would love to know the circumstances this video was shot under.

>>11896159
There was a schedule to shoot one more video but he was taking off for vacation in a couple of hours so they rushed out a grill video on the back 8 ft. of his residence.

Who was in the thread pointing out all the strange things in the video?
He makes 4 patties, puts 3 on the grill and drops the lid, lifts the lid and there's 5 patties and 2 buns, then he plates up 3 burgers.
The cuts and edits are all weird and he looks so vacant

>>11895741
Most renound chef with multiple Michelin Stars across many restaurants he manages all being top tier. And he has a lot of best selling cook books.

>OP: 4chan is Ramsay's burger good?
>Anons: no he's fucking shit every thing he does is shit his burger is a joke and he's not even a chef. If I wiped my ass on a plate it would be a better culinary dish.

Get all these people are retarded anon ignore them. Food is food and it's an acquired taste no matter what. The mass majority in the world would pay a lot for this simple burger.

>>11896282
Yeah, Michelin stars and fame and book sales are a definite indication of quality. Just like Oscars and fame and ticket sales are such a good indicator of acting talent.

>>11896282
>makes a shit item
>B-but he's famous and food is an acquired tasted. If he burnt Hamburger Helper you wouldn't understand.
Oh fuckoff. Celebrities aren't above criticism and can make trash. Some of them that are absolutely worshipped make nothing but trash.

>>11895741
It would have been perfectly fine.

>>11895741
>other restaurants he visits servers a burger like that
>"damn, what a shame" "raw" "too big, how can you fit your fucking mouth over it to bite it"

>gordon serving a burger like that
>"this is THE perfect burger

never understood this

>>11895926
How the fuck can he sleep at night. His whole fucking career is based off of lies.

I hate it when parties are that thick, just makes a greasy mess and they’re hard to eat

>>11895918
roids. listen to his voice

>>11896311
a random anons opinion on a shit cooking board is still worth less than the opinion of a random famous chef

>>11895741
This is an amazing burger if you’re coked up, have a strong day drinking buzz on, or a combination of both. It’s a shitty burger if you’re sober.

If I was sitting around his pool drinking rose after a few cocktails and kinda watching some euro fag soccer game on the pool tv and kinda watching a 8.5/10 milf with slightly floppy tits in the pool, and someone walked upto me with a burger half, I’d be fucking delighted. In nearly every other case I’m looking for more of a smashburger (not the chain, the style) kind of deal.

>>11896336
>>11895926
to be fair it's different when you cook for yourself.
At home you don't have to put on airs, you can stack a sandwich as high as you want and eat it like an animal.
In a restaurant you don't want that.

>>11895926
Watching him put that patty on the grill made me realize that the patty is either fake or frozen. It doesn't bend, it just sort of plops on there with a solid look.

>>11895771
Copious amounts of botox because Gordon, despite all his restaurants, michelin stars, tv shows, is still an insecure little girl. Same reason he did try to get hair implants lately.

>>11896752
What a I missing here?

>>11896282
>the mass majority likes it so it has to be good
People like you are the reason this world has gone to shit.

>>11896282
>Random internet nobody likes it so it must be good
>>11897471
>>11896297
>>11896311
>random internet nobody hates it so it must be bad

>>11895926
Damn, chef has been hitting arm day huh.

>>11895741
Any burger you can't eat straight up with your hands and biting into it is not a good burger

>>11895741
I automatically dismiss any "burger" that has to have a skewer put in it to keep it together

>>11895767
>this is the most "hello there fellow children" thing chefs always do
I’m actually impressed by how apt this characterisation is. That is exactly what he’s doing.

>>11897827
Take your own advice and never post here ever again.

>>11897178
It's common for people to freeze their patties after shaping, but it's usually to facilitate a thin patty. I don't know why you'd do it to a thick one.

>>11896282
>renound
This is a once in a lifetime kek

his restaurants have received 16 Michelin stars. I guarantee it would be one of the best burgers any one you have ever tried.

>>11895926
I think the big difference here is not the size of the burger, but the fact that, in that episode of kitchen nightmares, they didn't give him the proper bun, so it was awkward eating it because you'd get 2 parts burger with 1 part bun for every bite.

>tfw you met him yesterday because he's in your little town for some show

>>11897930
I see this bullshit reasoning every time this is brought up, and not once has it ever made a lick of sense.

>>11897178
It’s just a shitty overworked burger.

>>11897870
The skewer is there so the 16 year-old fresh off the boat minimum-wage-making waitress doesn't tip the whole thing over when she yanks it off the pass with the force of a thousand suns.

>Cooking burgers on a grill

Fucking why? You can't even smash them as god intended.

>>11897967
You know those cartoons where a character eats a comically sized burger inbetween two tiny buns, bites into it, and the burger just goes flying out the other direction? That's kind of what Gordon wanted to avoid.

>>11897924
So a car tire company gets to dictate to the world what counts as "good food" because they made of bunch of shill pamphlets in the 70s? Makes sense to me.

Anybody who makes sandwiches, burgers, subs, ect. taller than 3 inches is degenerate. The only way to eat that shit is by squeezing the hell out of the food and crushing the bread. Do you wan't to look like a soiboi with your mouth agape ready for cock?

>>11896201
I remember it. Magically appearing and disappearong onion slices, buns and burgers, bottle with oil falling off the table and so the metal plate. The whole video is made like they were all on coke.

SEASON IT
just a TOUCH of salt

>>11898551
He seasoned everything even the grill and cutting board.

>>11896201
I was the guy who noticed the pan sliding off the table with nobody touching it

>>11896282
>t. Gordon

>>11895741
THAT BURGER IS GARBAGE

>way to tall, way to hard to eat
>thick pattys take forever to cook and all the juices leak out

What you want is a thin, juicy, seared patty, maybe double. You want fresh meat, with a good sear. Special sauce is a must as well.

Here's how to make the best burger, a classic american smashed burger.

>buy some chuck at a butcher shop, at least 80% fat, have them grind it for you fresh.
>refrigerate the meat before, for a single patty use 3-4oz depending on how big ur bun is. For double pattys use 2oz
>preheat cast iron or griddle to almost as hot as it can get
>butter or oil the pan and place the ball with patchment paper on top.
>smash down with a flat sauce pan, flattening and holding down for 10 seconds, salt liberally after
>flip after the juices start pooling, maybe a minute depends how big ur patty is. add deli american cheese
>toast your fav bun in butter
>make special sauce.
>.5 cup mayo, 1tps ketchup, 1tsp mustard, 1tsp vinegar, 1tsp pickle juice, salt pepper. sometimes i put a pinch of paprika or garlic powder. but even just mayo and ketchup is good. dont underestimate the vinegar and pickle juice tho
>put ur fav toppings
>profit

>>11895741
it's probably not bad. i don't think anyone would be unhappy if someone gave that to them. but it could be improved a little bit, and i don't really understand the reason behind putting salt and pepper on everything, not everything needs to taste like pepper.

>>11899395
>80% fat

>>11896159
>Good Morning America crew shows up at his house bright and early: "HEY GOOD MORNING GORDON! READY TO MAKE SOME BURGERS?!"
>Gordon: "Oh bloody fucking hell I forgot you bastards were coming today. I really don't want to fucking do this shit"

>>11899513
OOPS SORRY I MEANT 80% LEAN 20% FAT

its not a good burger if you cant hold it in your hand and take a vertical bite of it. thats the whole point of a burger, its a sandwich like handmeal. the layers should not make it taller than your mouth, then its not a burger. just like a wet burrito is just a plato rolled up in a tortilla and doused with sauce. you cant hold it in your hand and eat it. try to understand that altering food too much takes ephemeral joys away that are not measured by flavor alone.

I feel like if your burger is so large that you have to cut into it with a knife and fork to serve it then it has ceased existing as a burger and has thus transformed instead to some sort of meat cake.

>>11896282
Drooling idiot.
>>11895741
No it isn't a good burger. It defeats the whole purpose of a burger, how the fuck are you even supposed to eat it? It's just decadent and a stupid brit's idea of what a burger is. It shouldn't be so fucking tall, it should be wider. I'll stand on gordon ramsay's coffee table with my cowboy boots and say it.

>>11899395
Actually sounds really good. Thanks.

>>11900617

>>11900740
note: poster actually means 80% meat 20% fat.

>>11900784
You need to take your seroquel.

>>11895741
heston did a really good show about burgers where he tried out different sizes and found the optimum was actually quite small as you have a steadier ratio of meat to bun to everything else in every bite. ramsay's burger only works if you can fit 3 fists in your mouth.

>>11896145
>>11896153
>>11895741
What's the point of such tall burgers anyway? You can't fit them in your mouth and the express purpose of the hamburger is to not have to use any utensils or get your hands dirty while eating it. Patties are supposed to be flat

if there are breadcrumbs used as a filler it is by definition no longer hamburger
it's a meatloaf sandwich

>>11895798
Burgers are not special. They are a decent way to use mince, historically made from scraps that can't be used for anything else. Anyone that attempts to elevate the humble burger beyond "decent, cheap, and convenient" is a memelord of the highest order. Might as well just use better ingredients to make a different dish (a proper steak sandwich or something), as you now have something that is no longer cheap and convenient, and barely reaches above your usual burger anyway.

>>11901305
That’s just like your opinion man

>>11900800
>t. mouthlet

>>11897924
And how many of those were for burgers?

>>11896282
I've been to a Ramsay restaurant in both the US and London, he's fallen very far from grace, if he was ever any good at all.

>>11896282

>>11899395
>refrigerate the heat before
>mayo in burger sauce
>salt after smashing it on the hotplate

oh look, more shitty instructions

>>11899395
Fucking garbage

What’s even the point of a thick burger patty? Generally the thin ones are better

>>11896282
>being shocked at extreme outlandish shit-flinging opinions on 4chow
this your first day here lad?

>>11897883
finally the only good post.

>>11896336
I'm pretty sure everyone knows he bigs up the American version of KN. It's like "pro" wrestling.

>>11895741
yeah the burgers in the vid looked amazing
has anyone here had a burger that wasn't in n out or five guys?

>>11895741
You lads are pissed up m8s he was takin the piss here

>>11901569
Aesthetically looks good and fills the burger nicely. I 100% agree about thinner patties being generally better though, you can always just slam on more patties with thinner patties so you can adjust your burger to be as large or small as you want.

>>11895741
How am I going to even fit that in my mouth

>>11896297
It is. That's how the world works. That's why you're not successful, because you think successful people are shit, and you think you can succeed by being shit. You can't. You'll never succeed because of it.

Pan?

>>11903269
Nice and hot.
