Gordon Ramsay’s new show is something

Jesus Christ, I'm sorry but have you guys crying about this seen a traveling cooking show before? He's done this before even.
The point of it was to learn from the best in different parts of the world and ending it in a friendly cook off. How you interpret this as "cooking imperialism" is beyond me.
So you are worried that if Gordon wins a cook off with some chef it will declare the British superiority over that cousine? You do know he is a world class chef and doesn't officially represent the UK as if it was the world cup or something.

That's what it sounds like. I think I'm fine with the premise though, just have locals be the judge and not flown in guest chefs. Or a mix of.
As long as it doesn't come across as shitting on or belittling.
You need to stop watching his American shit. It's an act because Americans can't watch reality shows without forced faux drama. If you watch his Youtube channel vids or any of his British shows he's not really like that
However he does lose it sometimes if the person is incredibly shitty, but is suppose to be a professional
"This Pani Puri is RAWWWWWWW. Good lord, the taste is so bland and drowned in spices! And you're using tap water!? You're killing your customers!"
The pilot would be Ramsay's Great Escape. People who are unsure about the concept should really check it out. He's in no way disrespectful toward other cultures nor is he trying to show anyone up. I think too many people know him for being super angry due to how the US shows he's on are handled. Outside of Boiling Point, his UK shows are the complete opposite. He's much more subdue and jokes around a lot. And in the case of GE, he's never even angry. He's actually happy the entire time.
Im gonna watch it no matter what. Just love Ramsay.
He can call me a fucking donkey and throw food in my face any day.

Thats a weird conclusion. More like british saviour if so.
I don't really watch him a lot, just have seen a few of these "clips" on Youtube and know of about it from conversations. Therefore my first assumption was that he would do the same there and that didn't paint a pretty picture in my mind.
I mean, there's only two other chefs with more Michelin Stars than him, which is the highest honor in the culinary profession, so he is indeed a world class chef and his food is some of the best on the planet.
Lol I watched that episode last night and the whole thing was such a mess. It felt like Tim and Eric could pop up anytime and start doing one of their dodgy infomercials it was that bad an idea.
Yeah that article seems really petty and as if they have some vendetta against Ramsay.
Maybe they're just a really cool (!) blog though - haven't seen them pop up elsewhere tbh.
Love Gordon Ramsay and his shows in the past. Just hate how Fox has pretty much stripped all the actual cooking from his shows.
This sounds like it will atleast have more of a focus on the food, but still not sure about the cook off aspect. Will watch either way!

So if I got this straight, it's more like he tries to adapt their dishes to western kitchens so that his viewers can also experience them for themselves. The locals get to try his adaptations and compare them to their original dishes. This, to me, sounds more like a respectful sort of homage, a way of showing what he learned from their culture, not a way of denigrating them.
It would be kind of pointless, after all, to just try to one-up non-professional chefs. Of course he could just take a local dish and make it with foie gras or kobe keef or caviar or something like that instead, but I really doubt that's what he's doing.

I feel like the tone of the OP is more aggressive than it needs to be and falsely paints the spirit of the show as far more disrespectful than it is.
Shocking. I've never seen someone exaggerate or mischaracterize anything on here before.

Gordon Ramsay is literally committing genocide and ethnic cleansing right now. Why don't we hear more about it?
I don't know how 'Americanised' it's going to be, but I also think people are reading too much into the competition aspect.
It's probably going to be a food stall and them getting a casual poll.
And then Gordon says fuck a lot as he loses.

Sadly it's not just Fox, but Food Network itself has also gone down this route a lot with less focus on actual cooking (Alton Brown's Good Eats) and more on "competitions" and such. It's a shame.
Fox has completely run out of ideas for Ramsay shows except they refuse to just make the one that people want.
This site is embarrassing to read, sometimes.
Sounds like it could be an interesting show. Hopefully it isn't as overproduced and ridiculous as hell's kitchen.

I hope you know that afterwards they served the food to monks and the one that had his food ate it all whereas the rest didn't finish their's.
It goes to show that culture and technical skill are two separate things. He made a British version of Pad Thai like they would sell in a London restaurant.
they're a vox property focused on food, so they're big in that way. there are some names who work/have worked there that i enjoy. this is just snark-spinning a press release somebody else already posted.
I don't really like the way this is being pitched. Ainsley Harriott's street food show was similar, but they didn't make it sound adversarial, it was just him trying new dishes and making his own spin on them to share with the locals and original chefs in a friendly way.
I'd hope that this is exactly how it's going to play out though.
It's being done through Nat Geo, aren't they fairly decent when it comes to content in general?
I also don't think (hope) that Ramsay would sign up to something where he's screaming at local chefs lol
How sure are you that you've read anything behind the snide and shitty 'write up' posted by a clickbait 'blog'?
Who is the arrogant white man here cuz it's not Gordon ramsay
How dare a chef learn about other cuisines!
Your hot take is shit.gif
Those thinking Gordon is just gonna shit on the culture and show off how much better he is dont really know who Gordon Ramsay is
some of the folks here are trying to portray this as sinister or Impearilistic when as a person Gordon is a very sensible and multiculture embracing guy. The guy is also a genius so expect this to be good and funny. You can tell who hasn't watched much Gordon before because he is very respective and appreciative of other cultures and their foods
He made a living portraying himself as an asshole on Fox, so it's not that hard.
Don't see the problem here if he is respectful. Learning about other cultures and attempting to put said knowledge to use for bettering yourself in your chosen profession is just... SAD! Right?
I doubt he is going to run around screaming obscenities at the local chefs, telling them how they should be doing things or letting them know they aren't as good as he is at what they've spent their life doing. I'd guarantee most of the local chefs on the show will be his friends and peers. 99% sure you guys can move on to whatever else is the next outrage of the week for the forum without having to be worried you missed a chance to get really angry and let everyone on the internet know about it.
He made a living teaching people his profession with a short tempered, "I'll tell you how it really is" while yelling obscenities schtick. And people clearly think it's entertaining. Asshole though? Do you know the guy? I've watched lots of television so I know that person is a dbag!

I've heard that his British shows are different tone.
But, I was mostly making a pun on the two meanings of pilot in this context :)
I don't see the issue.
He is a chef superstar on the world stage, of course he can rival or exceed the local output. Any experienced chef from any country could as well...
And its not like he is going to be "haha You guys suck, Britain/Scotland #1 lmao wankers!"
