The Good, the Bad and the Downright Ugly of Gordan Ramsay’s Food Venture

Gordon Ramsay finally brings some good food into his “The World” program. Finally some decent food. Hopefully some decent fattening food, too. Who knows how long The Gordon Ramsay Food Team has been working on this. Searching and uncovering your own favourite Gordon Ramsay recipes can sometimes be like looking for a needle in a haystack, but trust me – once you find them, they will not come crawling back out of your keyboard or computer screen.

It’s interesting – that in all this hullabaloo about Gordon Ramsay finally being back on the menu there are very few actual stories about it in the press. Search Google and see if any news agencies have ran anything about it. I think we can expect a lot more this summer…

We can look forward to Gordon Ramsay visiting more American restaurants – because apparently he is so big on these types of meals that he wants to show them off in the States as well. I am not sure if this is just an act to appease his British fans, or if he really wants to show America how good cunts America actually is. Because at the end of the day, he’s basically just a glorified corporate shill, so his intent isn’t to teach Americans how to cook good shit, it’s to prove that Americans don’t know how to cook good shit. And since anyone who knows anything about American food understands that the best way to teach them is by making it for them, his move could be a huge leap forward in kitchen nightmares.

There are some great cooks out there – and Gordon Ramsay might be able to make their food as good as America’s greatest chefs, but I don’t think he’s got the chops to handle the job. He needs to learn to work with the raw materials that are available to him, and take some pressure off of his weaker skills. This is a bad thing, I know, but it’s like the Brits, people always say “well they can’t do that” when we try to teach them something new. It’s fine, but not if you’re trying to develop real skill in the kitchen.

The problem with Gordon Ramsay and the good food Meme – is that he won’t be able to transition into American culture, he’ll remain a British chef. Because no matter how hard he tries, he will always revert back to British cuisine. And this is all his fault, because his entire career has been built on this concept. He made it his trademark, his look, his brand, and his everything. If he wants to start working in an American restaurant, then he would have to adapt his cooking to the changing tastes of Americans, but instead he tries to stick to his old British inspirations, which aren’t very palatable to most Americans.

The good news – is that people like Gordan Ramsay are making changes, people like you and me, so we need to support them in order for them to make progress. But it’s not going to happen overnight, it will take some time for him to get his act together, but it can happen. There are plenty of talented gourmets out there, who are fighting the good fight against poor food and terrible service.

We need your help to keep them from taking over the food niche, because if they win, our nation will be a better place. Please consider all this.
