This is probably the catalyst for the show.
Side note: Why the knee jerk hate for this. Not you particularly, but others.
He's got a new show now that he never loses, but on the old show where he actually travelled I think he did.
A white man travelling the World showing they dont cook their food as a white cheff, and How he's better, in some countries he will travell this Will be racist and colonialist...
And even in white people countries arrogant.
I mean he kinda did this already and it wasn't disrespectful at all. Watch Gordon's Great Escape.
You literally made every part of that up except for the fact that he's a white chef traveling the world.
Its not like hes made his fame on his haggis neeps and tatties
Several people don't want to see their cultures food 'improved' upon by some white dude that has nothing to do with the culture. People are assuming the worst. I'm guilty of this too. Maybe he will remain true to the culture, but if I saw him fly in and 'improve' on arepas con carne I'd almost certainly be upset if it wasn't very true to the culture despite how good it might taste.
The Eater article really puts this forward on the absolute wrong foot. Here's the press release in case folks want to hear what the folks making the show have to say about it, minus the 'neo-colonial' spin Eater's headline and lede spilling all over the discussion. Nowhere is it mentioned that Gordon intends to teach the locals anything, or that he plans on proving local culture wrong when it comes to their own home cooking traditions.
He did, and that show was dumb. "I'm going to spend a few days having my team research and create a recipe to rival this person's and then show up unannounced to cook it on my terms somewhere other than their kitchen so they may have had to compromise on their usual recipe and methods."
I get that it was to show off people making good versions of interesting foods, but there's gotta be a way to do it without some dick's ego taking up the bulk of it.
Right now in the US he has
24 hours to hell and back(a condensed Kitchen Nightmares)
Master Chef
with Hell's Kitchen on its off season.
That episode was quite possibly the most disgusting remodel Ramsay has EVER done.
Fucking weirdo's letting their dogs eat at the table right next to them.
He's already done this and it is literally the opposite of what you're going on about - take a second to do some research and have a more informed opinion
it sounds a bit (a lot!) like Chef Rubio, the international version.

Yeah, lots of knee jerking with absolutely zero thought or even a cursory glance at reality. Hopefully there is no upper bound on the ignore list here..
What is the Problem here? Because he's white he can't go learn about a cultures food and try cooking it himself?
Food is a universal thing and Gordon Ramsay is extremely respectful of the cultures he visits. He went to India and ate ant chutney and never insulted the people.
I'm Indian and I wouldn't do that shit.

There's a competition, the only way what i Said will not happen Its if he loses every time, otherwise even if they try to be respectfull It will have this take i talked.
I have faith in Ramsay to do this properly. He's in an incredible chef and overall pretty sensible. I don't see this as "chefsplaining" at all at the moment.
Gonna start instituting a personal rule of not replying to a post until page 3 as the non-misleading truth slowly comes out over the course of the thread.
I think the point is to contrast the cultires a bit not declare a "winner". It's not like he's some random dude saying hold my beer and wrapping everything in bacon. He's a professional chef with a lot of working knowledge on food. Based off the Pad Thai video I think it will be good.
So, Gordon is trying to make certain cuisines more accessible. Click bait strikes again.
"world star chef" is a show I'd like to see, except it would probably be filmed in portrait
Yes please like this. Gordon is respectful, willing to learn and open to other cultures. He likes to teach and get taught.
