Is Gordon Ramsay just a meme?

[Anonymous No.15897573]

He can be. To be fair though, the people on this board shitting on him are absolute cooklets.

[Anonymous No.15897594]

Overrated. Mediocre or worse as a chef, but the asshole personality (which he pretends to be just a shtick, playing a nice guy in all the behind-the-scenes documents while being a fucking jerk both in "main spotlight" shows and off-camera) made him popular on 4chan.

He's a drug addict with inflated ego, PTSD from working with Marco Pierre White and compensates for looking like an old lady.

His real times of being a good chef and a cook are over.

[Anonymous No.15897788]

He was great to watch on Kitchen Nightmares UK, other than that just a master of influence/marketing who happens to know how to cook.

I'd love to see a series where he has to run a small kitchen that is busy in the summer, COMPLETELY dies during the winter, and must remain open to prop up the bar's liquor license. Would he still hate the freezer/microwave? Can he make a tomato that ISN'T in season palatable, and does he have a plan for it when it's about to go bad? What does he do when he gets an order for 4 burgers, all cooked different temps, but only has 3 burgers prepared because he hasnt sold a burger in weeks?

Mostly, I just wanna see what he would do when he gets buried in tiny problems, and how he'd work around them when he doesn't have a team of people helping or to cathartically yell at when shit hits the fan.

[Anonymous No.15897984]

At this point it's like he is just pissing on the sand castle he built all his life.
His "career" wasn't much to begin with but to just make a mockery of yourself and to become an absolute disgrace even for your shabby "empire" you built is beyond my recollection

[Anonymous No.15898323]

>>15898080
I think the point being made is that in the episode depicted first, he says the burger is huge and unwieldy and shit. Then he later makes the "perfect burger" in a youtube video (or something) and its basically "perfect" for the exact reasons he shit on the other one.

Chefs that won't use microwaves in the 21st century do not know how to cook, period. It's not rocket science, it had its place like everything else, and it improves some textures while saving time. But because the power level button is in a different spot depending on model and it's not a manual process or a """traditional""" method, they are intimidated and ignore it fearing they'll burn water in it.

[Anonymous No.15898667]

Bro look at the video. The restaurant meat is bigger than the bun. That's what he is mocking. You can't take an initial bite without just eating all the meat. You don't get the tomato/onion/sauce taste, just meat. It's a stupid burger. His burger is fine

GR does big burgers but there's a balance at some point. He's not making 4 patties heart clogger burgers. There's enough of that in Vegas. His mix and grind of beef is also high end and costs more than that cheap ass american burger he's making fun of.

There was an episode of Top Chef where they had to prepare a meal just using like a microwave and food from two different vending machines (one was junk food and the other was like those ones with sandwiches and such)
That was pretty entertaining. That show in general would be great if not for the nonstop product placement.

Here's a tip I learned on the griddle:
when you've still got the sammy open-faced and want to melt the cheese, sprinkle about a tsp of water in a circle about an inch away from the edge of the sandwich. The water will steam up and help melt the cheese, and will also temporarily cool down the grill surface near the bread. That way, the cheese will melt without the bread or butter starting to burn (this is probably why Ramsey took his GC off before it melted, as that was a very hot fire)

We kept a clear squeeze condiment bottle just for this purpose. I tried cooking cubans and ham melts without the water trick, and while it was still doable, if you wanted a perfect golden-brown bread with gooey cheese, the water/steam trick was preferred.

Most of the failing restaurants aren't failing because of bad luck or lack of experience. Most are failing because the people running them are low IQ, shitty people.

Wagyu burgers are marketing trickery. Their marbling does not have near the same effect when ground. You end up with a 50/50 patty that's greasy and dry at the same time because half of its mass renders to a grease puddle.

I know he did, I'm just wondering what a show like that would be like. In Kitchen Nightmares he does shit like making sure mold is scraped out of a fridge or trimming bloated menus, but I wanna see him work a kitchen as described in my post.

Small-medium and/or seasonal kitchens have different challenges than the ones he tends to command, and I would love to see how he prioritizes and organizes one for a year or two. It would get other people out of the way and it'd give you a clear view of his expertise on a gamut of topics he doesn't really go into with full detail i.e. waste, cost, storage, payroll, suppliers/distributors, what he does when he has time to lean and nothing left to clean, etc.
