/ck/ - Food & Cooking

For me it's pic related

Trying to make prison food fancy drains all the soul out of it.

Gordon Ramsay is a Michelin grade chef. He certainly knows what he's doing in the kitchen, but today he's first and foremost a television personality. He can't keep making the same French dishes he's trained to on every TV appearance, so to stay relevant he has to do retarded stuff like this. It's not about food, it's about views.

First day on /ck/?

>Michelin grade
Is that why he's making slop at a racetrack in the webm?

>>18045251
No
It's fucking
Not

>>18045260
Did you forget to take your ritalin today? The post is not that long anon

>>18045236
He definitely knows his way around a kitchen and is a fantastic chef, so long as he's cooking what he's trained in. He's foremost a tv personality, so he needs to branch out to remain interesting, which results in him trying to apply his skill in something he's never done before.
The prison frito slop and grilled cheese are examples of this, and regardless of how terrible they are, they keep him relevant. These threads are proof of this.

>>18045281
Frito slop I can kinda understand but grilled cheese is so stupidly simple that a downie kid can do it no problem.

>>18045302
Yeah, he just tried to take a fancy spin with it. Honestly, anyone knows that simple food like that is good because it's simple, and trying to improve on it never works out. He was dumb for that mistake.

>>18045236
gordon is less of a chef and more a food celebrity. he used to be a chef a long time ago. now he just tours around and gets paid to be gordon ramsey. i'm sure at some point he was a good chef, now he doesn't give a fuck and nobody else does either

Gordon has and always will be marcos suck boy

>>18045322
I like MPW for this.

My kinda guy. Makes my world famous hot-dog risotto.

His restaurant is has held three Michelin stars for 21 years, the longest in London history

>>18045268
What percentage of those French dishes has he made a video for? I highly doubt he's come anywhere close to the end of his repertoire. He doesn't care. He's lost his passion for food. He's like one of the faggots he visits on Kitchen Nightmares. He needs some young buck to fuck his shit up to reinvigorate his love, or step aside. He should be down for, he loves competition.

The heat from the seethe melts the cheese

>>18045236
you think he's cooking that for himself? i don't think he's ever actually cooked anything for himself that was recorded. you can't convince he made anything he's ever recorded himself making, for himself.

>>18045246
>Slices bread too thick
>Slices cheese too thick
>Uses pretentious cheeses and kimchi instead of regular cheese (it's a fucking grilled cheese you insipid britbong)
>Gets pan way too fucking hot by throwing it in a fireplace for some fucking reason
>Burns the bread partially
>Has to take out the sandwich before the whole thing burns
>Slices into sandwich and shows the unmelted cheese that's probably still cold too

>>18045236
What did he make here again? I know it has Fritos in it but that's about it.

>>18045236
Gordon Ramsay was a chef, now he's a glorified game show host.

>>18045389
Right. He doesn't give a shit. Step aside old man. Have you blown through all your money, and your just a wage slave now?

I've been watching a few old Kitchen Nightmare clips recently as they've been popping up in my YouTube recommendations, and I'd forgotten what a massive faggot Gordon could be for the cameras.

Clearly he's not eating gourmet food in most of the restaurants he goes to, but half of the stuff he tries looks average but passable, nothing you'd ever bother complaining about. I mean you're in a small midwestern town for fucks sake at a suburban diner called Joe's Pizza or some shit like that. What did he honestly expect, fucking Michelin star dining?

Anyway, after making a few sarcastic remarks about the menu, when he finally gets his food, he spends about half a minute of scraping it with his fork and pulling a face like an overweight toddler confronted with a stem of broccoli. He then takes one tentative bite, spits it out for full effect, pulls a stupid face, and then shakes his head. Every fucking time. It's just so predictable and scripted. Most of the chefs he sees are borderline retarded, but I do genuinely feel sorry for a lot of them, they are made to look even more shit than they actually are for views.

The worst part is Ramsay is clearly a decent chef in his own right, but he cares more about TV ratings then actually helping the poor schmucks who signed up to his TV show

>>18045236
why are you eating fritos?

>cheese seethers
the bread isn't even buttered enough.
nobody wants a bready grilled cheese, they want that butter soaked bread, the cheese melt.
pan up not too high for a long time, let it get moist and soft.

this is just a warmed small lunch.
but none of his sandwich matters.
he doesn't know how to cook eggs.

>>18045268
>being this humorless
It shouldn't be too much effort to be a better person anon

>>18045236
gordon made me realise what a joke the enitre food culture is, i mean if he has 20 michelin stars or whatever... chefs are all post pretenders

>>18045251
it's "molten" esl nigger

>>18045363
Based. One Marco quote always sticks out "I realised my food was being judged by people less knowledgeable than I was, so what was it worth? Very little."
Pretentious wannabe faggots constantly swarm his Knorr video calling him a sellout, as if the man has anything at all to prove to anyone. He's still at least in touch with being working class, and actually creates recipes with a reasonable home cook environment in mind, rather than assuming the average person has trompette de la mort and other random shit just casually lying around.

>>18045388
Right.
Pan, hot.
Olive oil, in.
Egg, in bottle.

>>18045236
I'm sure he was good back before all the reality TV bullshit, he's just in his coke/alcohol binge arc right now

>>18045608
>rather than assuming the average person has trompette de la mort and other random shit just casually lying around.
I have some of those actually

>>18045608
This, ive never made fried chicken better than his. Ive always hated sifting through thousands of recipes that go
>"1/2 tsp of salt & pepper mix"
>"We're gonna use a couple drops of olive oil to cook the meat"
>"cook for 3 minutes and 69 seconds"
Honestly its a souless and dead, cooking is an art, its a therapy, enjoy it and use ingredients you enjoy. He uses terms like "pinches", "a good amount", and "up to you", i wouldnt even call the videos he has recipes, they're just lessons.

>>18045618
That's a 10/10 in Britain.
Shame about his ugly daughter.

>>18045236
Immediately, from the simple fact that he's British

Any time he cooks literally anything that isn't British or French, he fucks it up. Every. Single. Fucking. Time.
This shar-pei looking cunt needs to gtfo and stick to his French faggotry.

>>18045363
Nothing against Marco, but Chef John has been doing this for years

>>18045659
My mom never measured anything, thus I never measure anything. People would instruct me to watch youtube videos to learn how to measure things, which in turn lead me here to see how /ck/ handles its e-celeb problem. I refuse to measure out of spite.

>>18045236
fritos and chilli are delicious together, but it's slop and I don't know why the retard didn't take it out of the bag.
