I can't stand Gordon Ramsey

[Jilly]

OK, I know some of you love him, he's unpredictably rude and makes you laugh but I just can't see the attraction. He's kind of ugly and his private life is dodgy.

He's a celebrity for all the wrong reasons. He's a hysterical bully with a dirty mouth and a bolshie attitude. His culinary skills are no better than others in the ever growing line of TV chefs. They all just buy expensive ingredients, throw them into a pan of spice and booze and pile them on a plate with a load of sauce and strange leaves.

Anyway what annoyed me today is that he has produced a range of bottled sauces (emulating the Paul Newman model) but they are going into store with a price tag of £1. 89p (3 times what some are) and a pathetic 10 pence goes to the "Children in need" charity. On the strength of this he is getting prime air space and publicity like he's Mother Theresa. Twat!!!!

Would you hate me if I was fugly and you read about my private life in papers?

[Jilly]

Yeah I would if you were trying to make your name on the back of Children in Need. I would find any excuse to hate you.

But actually if you were "fugly" I'd probably laugh

Thats alright then as I only screw Comic Relief

This could have been comic relief now I think about it. There was a photo opportunity with him eating one end of a spaghetti strand with Lenny Henry on the other end.

I used to be a big fan when he was doing Kitchen Nightmares in the UK (the US version is horrendously scripted and, well, American). He really did sort out a lot of places even if he did waste half the time swearing and acting like a nob.

But now I've gone off him. In fact it seems like the tide has turned for Gordon. His restaurants are struggling and the love affair seems to be over. Now he just looks and acts like a bit of a twat. And Marco Pierre White made him cry.

[Jilly]

But come on that guy's face looks like he's spent too many hours slaving over a hot frying pan. It has the contours of a suet dumpling. They model pizza on him.

He's a chef.

Agree, think if he spoke to me in the way you see him speaking to some people i'd want to smash his teeth in.

[Jon the Hat]

He is actually a very good chef, but has discovered that you cannot expect other chefs to run your restaurants forever, and if you build a reputation based on your cooking and then don't cook, you are going to have a problem. Branding fine dining restaurants with your name and not being there is never going to work in the long run. And much to his irritation, the best restaurant in London is not his, but Marcus Waring at the Berkeley, which was previously Ramsey's under the Petrus name. So your successful Chef's want their name over the door, and the rest are not as good as you. FAIL.

Had to read that a few times

Chef's in general are ****s.

I know better than others because i work in a hotel with about 10......... and my dad's a chef.

[Koke]

I usually don't like when acts like a twat, but this is probably one of my favourite Ramsay moments. Totally owned her.

[Jilly]

Thanks folks, you made it a good thread. That vid just sums the guy up for me - I'd love to have thrown that plate in his face, hotter the better.

PS I'll be sure to add commas next time AS

Make your own sauces. They taste much nicer than anything out of a jar.

You make bold assumptions about our cooking ability!! How sweet

Not really; I think stuff like Ragu or Dolmio taste revolting!

True and its so easy to make your own.... Im shit at cooking and can still knock up my own Bolognese sauce etc.

[Orkneyfox]

He is rude, obnoxious and right up himself and he has been caught with his pants down a couple of time already. On the other hand he does have a knack of sorting out those failing businesses, identifying and resolving the people problems that are at the root of so many of the difficulties. Just wish he could cut the swearing by about 50%.

As for home made sauces try this one.

Barbeque sauce

1/2 cup of butter

1 small onion finely diced

1 clove garlic, also diced

1.5 tsp of dry mustard powder

2Tbsp chili powder

1 cup (dollop it in to taste) of tomato ketchup

1/2 cup of vinegar

1/2 cup of water

1 tbsp sugar ( brown is good)

1tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Saute (gently fry) the onion and garlic in the butter. Add the other ingredients and boil it all for 5 minutes or till it thickens. Pour over burgers, etc at a barbeque. experiment with the amount of chili and see how far you can go.

Apparently he doesnt.... 90% of them have gone bust now. It was on the news the other day somewhere. Thanks for the sauce though
