The Gordon Ramsay News Feb 9

Author: Gordon Ramsay Unofficial Fansite // Category: Main Content

Welcome to the Gordon Ramsay News Channel for this Day February 9 2009

There were a bunch of articles that linked to Gordon Ramsay and compared the Great British Nightmare and most of his shwos generally, such as Hell’s Kitchen, the F-word and Kitchen Nightmares, to Christian Bale’s Outburst at a Terminator 4 Lighting guy – but I’ve ignored most of these as they don’t really tell us anything about the great Chef Gordon Ramsay.

I’ve sorted out the formatting issues and click on the story title to be taken to that page.

More About swearing and Official Investigations - one story even managed to link it to infidelity allegations!!

Top quotes
For example, in Ramsay’s cooking-with-regular-Joes segment, he says to one amateur chef, “Susan, yes? When you lift the fish, make love to it. Don’t fuck it.” See? Purely instructional.
Or later, Ramsay is watching “Top Gear” host James May cover a fish pie with mashed potatoes and says, “It’s like a fucking plasterer. Holy shit. Would you like a trowel?” and “Can we get in the fucking oven now?” and, when their plates of fish pie are next to each other, “I’ve had that there, next to yours, for the last 10 minutes, I hope to fuck it don’t infect it, yes, with shitness.”
Ahh, it’s so nice how these screeners don’t bleep out all of the really informative culinary terms.

Top Quotes
Ramsay’s so-bad-it’s-good “Un-shucking believable!” (for such a cantankerous crank the man sure loves his puns), and LA’s puzzled declaration that she didn’t even know that scallops came in shells. I mean, as a, you know…chef, isn’t information like that somewhat necessary? Even I, despite a fear of all things aquatic, knew that much. And Seth lived up to his nickname “Forest” when Ramsay asked why one scallop was reduced to half its size and he responded by matter-of-factly saying “I’ve got the other half right here chef,” prompting a perfectly timed and (I thought) hilarious “yeah f— yourself”
What did you think of last night’s episode? Did Ji do the honorable thing, or will the team suffer more without her? Who do you think will be the next to go home? Next week’s preview shows the chefs tussling with a big, juicy slab of meat. Who else is pumped?!

Top Quotes
“I don’t blame people who are cutting back on their discretionary income and purchases. We didn’t have deep pockets to begin with,” he says. “Gordon gave me a gift and right now it doesn’t make sense to do business in this environment.”
In other words, Ittenbach refused to cut back on quality and lower his standards. It’s not something he could do because Ramsay wouldn’t have it any other way. But there was nothing on the horizon that indicated when the recession might end.
“I put my heart and soul in it. Everything I own is in it, and there’s nothing left. But having the recipes and my name on the sauce, I’m not convinced I couldn’t turn up somewhere else if we ever get the economy turned around. An international chef gave me a gift. Going on a national program had a profound effect on me. I’m a better person because of it.”

“Anyone who walks into my restaurant and has a telephone on the table I shove it up their a– sideways,” he said at last night’s on-stage interview at the Toronto Reference Library, sponsored by The Cookbook Store.
And, when prodded, he told Oliver he thought he had made more than 50,000 British pounds for a motivational speech he gave last year in Portugal.
“For these people here, this is one hell of a deal,” Oliver said, referring to the $40 tickets for the sold-out event, which included a copy of the chef’s newest book, Gordon Ramsay’s Healthy Appetites. A portion of the proceeds are being donated to the Toronto Public Library Foundation.When Oliver asked if there was something in his childhood that could explain his drive, the chef cracked: “I feel like I’m with Dr. Phil.
“In terms of, was I never breastfed or cuddled by my mom?” he retorted.
