Gordon Ramsay Cookalong Live USA Application Deadline Extended

Author: Gordon Ramsay Unofficial Fansite  //  Category: Cookalong Live, gordon ramsay television, Main Content



As we predicted, the deadline to apply to be a part of Gordon Ramsay’s Cookalong Live in the USA has been extended (again) to November 30. I, like many others, thought that the few days notice to fill out the application form, get a respectable mug-shot, sign the waiver (and get your guests to do the same) as well as make and submit a video was a little ambitious! Now it seems the powers that be, agree.

At least now you have a weekend to work on your Cannes award-winning application and your glamour photography session. Check out our initial Cookalong Live USA post for all of the details, they are still all current (except for the date!).

Another Award for Gordon Ramsay – not for cooking or swearing

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



With all of the bad press Gordon Ramsay has been copping lately, one would be forgiven for thinking that his latest award could be something negative. Recently Gordon Ramsay has won or made the top ten in best looking as well as ugliest man surveys – not to mention his no regulation Michelin stars and other culinary prizes.

This prize however, is another on his mantle for television. Only a few weeks ago Gordon rRmsay won a broadcast award for Gordon Ramsay: Cookalong Live. The award was for Best New Programme at this and according to the Optomen website (producers of many Gordon rRmsay shows) ““Brave” was the word that cropped up most frequently in comments from the judges on one of the year’s biggest live TV events. I don’t think this was chosen necessarily because one of the episodes aired only days after the Sarah Symonds allegations of infidelity. At the start of that episode Gordon Ramsay even says “well, it’s been a tough week but…” and then just got on with the show!

other comments from the article (which can be seen in full at http://www.optomen.com/newsitem.aspx?content=898) include – Gordon Ramsay: Cookalong Live was a refreshing change from the studio-dominated cookery format and it was this, plus the level of interactivity, that pushed it ahead of the competition.

The ambitious, interactive set-up had the potential to be a logistical nightmare for the show’s producers, prompting one judge to comment that Cookalong Live was ”an innovative and risky way of involving the viewer.” Another went further, describing the show as “inclusive of the whole nation”.”

Optomen Television was also shortlisted for Best Popular Factual Programme for Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares and for Best Independent Production Company.

Gordon Ramsay and his TWO new Television Shows

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



Months ago, the Plonker Club reported that Gordon ramsay would be hosting his own Cookalong Live show in the US, Gordon Ramsay has now confirmed this in a recent interview and also talked about another new cooking special he will be shooting in May.

Here is a direct quote from Gordon Ramsay when asked about the new show

Gordon Ramsay “Yes, of course. First of all, I have to say, cooking in Hell’s Kitchen is like a live scenario anyway. The producers are constantly chasing my butt saying, “We would like to see this.” I’m saying, “What would you like to see?”

I’m not interested. All I want to see is food on a plate. I can’t script a service. I don’t know how early or late the customer’s going to turn up, so everything is very natural. So in that sense we cook live.

The live cook along, yes, it has been picked up and it’s going to be a huge excitement. I can’t wait to go live. I suppose the frustration is the sort of cooking shows on air currently that don’t cook.

It’s one that was prepped earlier by some home economist behind the scenes and that’s not cooking. Cooking is a passion and it’s live and it’s really nice to show that journey from a raw ingredient to an hour later something finished. And for me the confidence levels go up tenfold, a 1000%, because you’re following it and it’s changing its texture and the flavor’s getting better and you get more and more confident as you start with a raw ingredient. So, I’m really excited that Fox is excited about the live show and it’s something I can’t wait for.

No cursing, that’s the deal. So I’m fucked.”

Gordon Ramsay’s other show, was also brought up in a later question – again here is a quote

Gordon Ramsay: “So I have a huge excitement this May on visiting India for the first time in my career and I’m going on a journey, because I’m going to the region, I’m backpacking and I suppose I want to come down two or three divisions and sort of get to the heart of the food of the people.

And it’s called Gordon Ramsay’s Great Escape and I’m really excited about it because it’s being left in a situation along with sort of …, but going a little bit deeper into the sort of cult social following and where it started, and looking at the beginning, the heartbeat of how that dish was formulated. And to what’s happened, to how many people have abused it along the way to where we are now. So yes, always learning; constantly.”

These comments were part of a much larger interview which can be flouond at http://www.monstersandcritics.com/smallscreen/features/article_1456611.php/Hells_Kitchens_Gordon_Ramsay_the_full_interview
