‘Fresh Gordon’
Posted April 26, 2009 – 3:29 pm in: food
How would Gordon Ramsay react if a team would cook using pre-packed food in Hell’s Kitchen? He would probably use the F word, many times…
I have never liked the way Gordon is bullying people in his show, shouting at them when the food is not meeting his expectations.
“Using fresh ingredients is the only way to guarantee a great taste and I can’t understand how on earth people can ignore fresh food.” said Ramsey in an interview for Channel 4.
The reality is that Foxtrot Oscar in Chelsea and 3 other pubs owned by Ramsay, serves pre-packed food from his factory in Wandsworth. The food is sold with a mark-up of 586 per cent. When you pay £11.25 for fish cakes , you expect it to be fresh so this is pretty much the same as lying to your customers. It might be a good lesson to Gordon, to feel how is it like to be bullied for not meeting your customers expectations.

Just came across your comment on an article I’d written for Triond.com. I certainly agree with your views that his bullying and bad language don’t do much for his image.
