snoop1130 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Gordon Ramsay humiliated: Marco Pierre White’s brutal assessment of TV chef exposed By JOEL DAY Gordon Ramsay: Marco Pierre White gave a frank assessment of Gordon's competitive nature (Image: Youtube) GORDON RAMSAY was shunned by culinary godfather Marco Pierre White during his time as apprentice in the late Nineties with a stinging criticism, unearthed documentary footage reveals. Gordon Ramsay is likely the first name that pops into the heads of millions when asked who the most famous chef they know is It is true, many would argue, that Gordon is the most famous chef as a result of intense media exposure and cult of personality Yet, the reality is that the now world-famous chef was once apprentice to a behemoth of the culinary world. Marco Pierre White is still regarded as a godfather restaurateur and cook. But his reputation has taken on a more subtle tone in recent decades.

Marco with 3 couldn’t compete so years after receiving them tried ridiculing the industry standard by handing them back. Sour grapes is all Marco serves now.

Popular Post SVC Porter Posted July 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2020 Once I saw Gordy cook an Asian stir fry with Olive oil in the wok I knew he had no notion.

He's a salesman thats all and as for Michelin stars.....really....thats not food it's a plate full of pretentious peelings! I once had a meal in a Starred restaurant and was presented with a dessert that had some sort of chocolate painted across the plate all artsy fartsy.......they were horrified when I finished my meal by licking said choccie off the plate lol.

I did once go through the drive thru because back then my young children were insistent. They never repeated the request for such disappointment.

Geordieabroad Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 People have been cooking for as long as people have been on the planet. Now all of a sudden it's a science and they try to convince you that there's only a handful of people who can do it properly, total BS. People like these need to be reminded that they're only cooks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaLa Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I’ve worked 7 jobs in 6 different industries and had 3 businesses in my life. Thank god it never appealed to me to enter a kitchen for a living. I don’t know whether it’s the testosterone levels of these guys or being locked downstairs in a basement full of gas burners and no light that makes them unbearable. I’ve been to quite a few Michelin starred restaurants in the UK and throughout my travels and the food is only a part of it. Generally you can expect professional service and attention from the waiters. That is, they are not staring into space or tapping their phones whilst you await their attention.

OneMoreFarang Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I have no idea how good Gordon Ramsay is. But looking at some of his videos I get the idea he is very good - definitely good enough to learn a lot from him. What I think is strange is that the media like to make dramas out of everything. I saw a few Kitchen Nightmare videos. It seems to me its a sensational BS series. But I am sure it sells and lots of people will watch it. And what does it have to do with cooking? Very little! That brings up the question: Why do chefs get famous? Because of their skills in the kitchen or all the media activities around them which have very little to do with their skills? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Gordon Ramsay or Jamie Oliver are good chefs. If you watch Gordon make his curry scrambled eggs with milk it's absolutely disgusting and Jamie is really a pub hand come businessman. Why do they become famous? Because they work very hard. Both Jamie and Gordon are prolific producers of cooking video output. As such they had the basics. Throw in the boy crush many women had on the lisping buffoon Jamie Oliver or the man crush they have on the typical a$$hole male Gordon, and you can see how they succeed. Plus of course they shamelessly steal the culinary know-how of Italy, Thailand, Indonesia, China, India and basically get away with it because there is no IP law protecting recipes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logosone Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) So Gordon Ramsay went to India, what did the culinary master do in the land of culinary wonder? Scrambled eggs. But not scrambled eggs as you imagine, go to 6 min 45 to see the world's most disgusting scrambled eggs. First he adds Indian spices, then he loads it with litres of milk to remove the impact of any spices, lol. Brits and cooking, lol. Pitiful. Looks like Frog diarrhoea.

Sure Olive oil has lots of flavour but it's better for salads and dressings - not frying. The food and garlic is the flavour for Wok cooking. If you add some butter---real butter---to the olive oil, there is a bonding that takes place and prevents the fats in the olive oil from breaking down under heat. Cooking....sometimes....is chemistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logosone Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 This is absolutely hilarious, you gotta watch this. So Gordon in his usual quest for the obscure and little known cooks some....Pad Thai. Not scrambled eggs? No Pad Thai. Anyway, so he thinks he did a decent Pad Thai...watch the reaction of the very honest Thai chef who tastes it....
