Hello, dear viewers!
We have a treat for you today.
We have collected a list of the nastiest Gordon Ramsay chicken moments.
From gross to downright disgusting, whether it’s
the food of the behaviour - we have got it all.
Are you ready for this?
Probably not, but let’s get started.
But wait - before you get to the stomach curling nasty moments, won’t you subscribe?
And don’t be a CHICKEN, click the little bell
icon too!
Chicken and Banana Smoothie Who doesn't love a good smoothie?
It is good food, whizzed together to make a super healthy
meal.
Personally, we love smoothies.
We love all the combinations that we can come up with,
and it is one of our favourite ways to stay healthy.
So, agreed, smoothies are awesome.
Some combinations aren’t as awesome as others, however.
There are combinations were never meant to be mixed together.
For example, during one Kitchen Nightmares episode, Ramsay was
overhauling one nightmare-ish restaurant, and
teaching the ambitious chef a lesson at the same time.
He decided to take some of the chef’s flavor combinations straight off
the menu, whizz them up and make the chef taste
it.
Sounds nasty, right?
It gets worse.
If the chef had been a true genius, the flavors would
have made up for the smoothie consistency.
Spoiler alert, this chef was not a genius.
His flavour combinations were bad.
For one dish, he served chicken and banana.
Bad chef!
How dare you make paying customers eat something like that?
Terrible.
Anyway, so Ramsay blended some chicken and banana, and he served it to the
chef.
Who said it had a stringy consistency.
Now, that’s just… how would banana and chicken
even work together?!
We’re upset now.
We hope that this episode all chefs to taste their
own food before coming up with terrible
combinations.
Also, don’t turn chicken and banana into a smoothie.
Chef Refuses To Cook Fried Chicken Is it any surprise that our next chicken moment
is featured from Hell’s Kitchen?
Seriously, what is it with these restaurant owners?
In this episode, Ramsay is helping a restaurant
on its last legs (what else is new?).
So, he sets about doing what he does best - fixing things.
He puts together a brand new menu - including fried chicken wings.
All seemed to be going well, until one random chef decided that he
did not want to serve such ordinary food at a
“fine dining establishment”.
Hold up for just one second, this restaurant was busy going under
but suddenly it’s a fine dining restaurant?
Oookay.
All the other people begged him to stop making a fool of himself, but then Ramsay
stepped in.
What followed was a glorious take down.
The insubordinate chef, Matt, told Ramsay that the menu was bad and that if they were
going to serve fried chicken, they may as well
send the female servers out in bright orange shorts.
Pause for a moment while we ponder that enlightened statement.
Ramsay listened patiently, and looked the defiant chef in
the eye.
He then asked, and soak in this brilliant line, if the chef knew so much, why didn’t
he have his own restaurant?
Cue the applause, because that was brutal.
Of course, this wouldn’t be Kitchen Nightmares without a
few hissy fits, and we really enjoyed Matt melting
down during the dinner service.
It is not as if we enjoy people melting down, but why does
one person have such a personal hatred for fried
chicken?
Weird.
Fried Chicken Fossil Who loves fried chicken?
All of us?
Yeah, who doesn’t?
Anyway, during one episode of Masterchef, the contestants had to make their
own fried chicken.
Let us just pause for a moment.
When a contestant says that they hope the judge is impressed by their creativity,
that person is serving a bad dish.
Diana, the contestant, brings her offering up to Ramsay.
And we have to say, it is one of the few times we would say no to the fried chicken.
She then goes on to explain how she double coated it
with cornmeal and buttermilk.
Which sounds, odd to say the least.
Who looks at cornmeal and decided to use it as a double coating for
chicken?
Anyway, Ramsay does not look very impressed either.
He taps the chicken with a butterknife, and it sounds like a stone.
Bad sign, Diana.
Ramsay then likens her fried chicken to a jurassic fossil that he had to
excavate.
For those of you at the back, this is a BAD SIGN.
Ramsay takes a giant bite, and then spits it out.
He tells her that he needs a new set of teeth after that.
What makes this a truly nasty moment is the fact that he says
it feels like there was sand in his mouth.
It was bland, hard and it had the same consistency
as sand.
Which is incredibly nasty.
Don’t agree with us?
Why not try a piece of sand crusted fried chicken for yourself?
Chicken wrapped shrimp Remember what we said earlier about bad
combinations?
Well, this list is full of them.
One such combination is chicken wrapped shrimp.
But let’s take it back quickly and give you
some context.
Gordon Ramsay is visiting a failing restaurant on Kitchen Nightmares.
He meets the two owners, an arrogant young chef
and his soon-to-be-father-in-law.
You quickly pick up why the wedding has been postponed.
The young chef is full of himself, and he does
not have the skill to backup this arrogance.
But he is very excited to show off his skills, so
a reluctant Ramsay orders from the menu.
He is served a few odd combinations, but rolls with
it.
Until he gets to the chicken dish.
Chicken wrapped shrimp.
The chef confidently proclaims that Ramsay will find no fault with his food.
Ramsay cuts into the chicken wrapped shrimp, tastes it and looks up at the camera with
his verdict.
“Looks like chicken, tastes like shrimp” he then proceeds to say a bad word.
Which we will not repeat due to the young viewers at home.
Basically, he likens it to the poop emoji.
Yeah, we would not like to eat chicken wrapped poop emoji either.
Let’s just say that this quickly turned out to be one
of the more entertaining episodes of Kitchen
Nightmares.
But we cannot get the image of the chicken wrapped shrimp out of our minds.
Who would do that and why?!
Chicken Problems, Mango Tree Our next nasty moment happens on Ramsay's
search for the best restaurant in the UK.
The Mango Tree, a popular restaurant is filled
to the brim with customers, but then there is
a problem.
One of the customers calls his waiter, and informs him that his chicken starter is
raw.
The waiter is horrified, and a little embarrassed, so he takes it back to the
kitchen.
A little bit of chaos ensues, and the replacement starter is sent back.
This is a serious moment, because raw chicken is very
dangerous.
It carries all sorts of bacteria and could lead to a customer falling seriously
ill.
Everyone breathes a sigh of relief when the replacement is sent out and the chefs feel
like they can go on with their business.
But the first plate was just the tip of the iceberg.
Suddenly, people start calling their waiters.
Utensils are put down in disgust and the harassed staff are called from one table to
the next.
Every person who ordered the chicken starter, received a raw chicken.
For a fine-dining restaurant, this is a big deal
and a serious matter.
Their reputation is on the line.
But as the camera pans in to the raw chicken, you can’t help but feel a little
sick, especially when Ramsay investigates it by
cutting it open further and showing the raw interior.
This moment deserved its spot on the list.
Eventually everyone got their happy ending and replacement starter, but we won’t
forget the sight of people digging into partially raw chicken.
Floor Seasoned Chicken In one of the more shocking episodes of
Kitchen Nightmares, Ramsay went to a restaurant named La Galleria.
This restaurant was failing, and it was no wonder why.
The owners, two sisters, drank and smoked on the
job, they fought with everyone including their staff and customers.
The staff was rude and unresponsive, so Ramsay really had his
hands full this time.
We watch in breathless anticipation as Ramsay arrives to watch how
they cook on the first night.
But everytime he asks the chef a question, he is ignored.
For a chef of this magnitude, especially one who is trying to save the restaurant, this
is a terrible display of disrespect.
The worst is yet to come, however.
The head chef starts cutting into some chicken.
He drops it on the floor, then bends down, picks it up and
tosses it into the pan.
Ramsay tries to tell him to stop, but the chef ignores him.
Ramsay calls the owner, who stands by and says that
it’s terrible, but does nothing to stop him.
While the other sister glares at Ramsay with hate in her eyes.
If we were chef Ramsay we would have walked out right then.
While warning the customers about the
floor-seasoned chicken.
Luckily for La Galleria, we were not in charge, and Ramsay
sorted the situation out.
Watching a chef just cook chicken that fell on the floor was
enough to make us suspicious of all restaurants.
Raw Chicken Served By Nervous Amateur Chicken In this episode, Ramsay shares his softer
side.
An amateur chef on his ultimate cookery guide, named Kenneth, was a nervous ball of
energy.
He bounced up and down, wrung his hands and was just very fidgety.
But he was sweet, and endearing, you couldn't help but
love Kenneth.
Unfortunately, he was so nervous about cooking for his idol, that he
did not manage to cook his chicken long enough.
As the time was running out, he realized that, but was urged to serve his
food.
He nervously brought it up to chef Ramsay, explaining that the chicken was
partially raw, and could Ramsay please eat the end that was not raw.
Ramsay was very nice about it, a lot less shouty than normal.
He explained that he could not eat the chicken because it was raw.
We felt very bad for Kenneth, because he was a nice guy, but
pink chicken is not on our list of appetizing meals.
This is especially nasty because the rest of the chicken looks so good, but then
you see the pink middle, and you sort of cringe.
Perfectly good chicken gone to waste…
Chicken is a wonderful food, but raw chicken is very dangerous.
It’s very sad when you see something that is made with care, but spoiled
because of the health dangers - and the fact that no one would want to eat raw chicken.
Chicken I’m afraido to eat One of chef Ramsay’s better ideas was to
answer the tweets sent to him by amateur chefs.
If you are unaware of this trend, you need to be caught up immediately.
Tons of epic one liners await you.
Basically, fans share their cooking attempts with the
hilarious Mr Ramsay, who then answers with a
hilarious quip.
Usually these dishes don’t look all that bad, and you feel a little
guilty for laughing that hard.
Other times, the dishes are downright strange.
Why would you send your evil creation to be judged by
the guy who roasts people for a living?
We don’t know why you would do this, but please
keep doing it, it is hilarious.
In this one particular tweet, a fan sent a picture of
their mother’s Chicken Alfredo.
Don’t get us wrong, we love mum’s cooking.
No one can cook like her, and if anyone ever disagreed, we
would probably get into a pretty nasty fight.
But this dish looked a little weird.
It looks colorless, and a little grainy.
Ramsay summed up our sentiments perfectly when he asked
if this person’s mother was angry with them.
He then quipped “Chicken I’m afraido to eat!”
Get it?
Because it’s chicken Alfredo?
Okay fine, we laughed way too hard at that.
Also this is a nasty moment, because we like
chicken alfredo, just not like that.
Also, Ramsay insulted someone’s mom.
Little fridge of horrors We put a lot of trust in restaurants.
We go to them with our hard earned cash, and we
expect to get good food in return.
Although we do not enter the kitchen, we trust that
they follow certain standards to keep our food safe.
In one episode of Kitchen Nightmares, Ramsay stands by and watches the
kitchen operate, but he is horrified to discover that the food is not being treated
with care.
The restaurant serves rotten “pre-washed” lettuce, and serves week
old desserts.
They also keep raw, rotten shrimp in the same place as normal food.
He begins to get suspicious, so he takes a trip down
to their refrigerator, where he finds a
smorgasbord of health code violations.
But the worst is when he finds that the cooked
chicken is tossed into the same pan as the raw chicken.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is bad.
This could cause people to become violently ill.
The very thought of us eating cooked chicken that had been stored alongside
raw chicken makes us sick to our stomachs.
Ramsay was thinking the same thing, because he launches into a tirade against the owners
and chefs who look a little sheepish.
Unsatisfied by the response, and horrified by
the quality of food being served, Ramsay orders that the kitchen be shut down and that
the customers be sent home.
This is a catastrophe for the restaurant, but we admit
to not feeling very sorry for them.
Advancing from bad to worse If you thought that the contaminated chicken
from our last entry was bad, just wait until you see what happens now.
This time, we join Ramsay in a nightmare-ish hotel.
The hotel is loud, and rough and a little below the
standard.
That’s putting it mildly.
Well, we could continue put it mildly, but then Ramsay
took a look in the fridge.
The owners swore that the fridge is cleaned out twice a week,
but they are left speechless when he carries out mouldy tortillas and sauces left by a
chef who had been gone for a few years.
But our favourite moment is when he pulls out
a tray containing cooked chicken, and another
containing raw pork.
Next to each other.
No properly covered.
Now, one of the first things they teach you at culinary school is
the fact that if you contaminate food, you make people sick.
There are deadly viruses contained in our food if it is not handled
properly.
Gordon makes it clear just how unacceptable this is by berating the owners
harshly.
We feel that he should have said more, considering the fact that they were
putting lives in danger, but hey, we aren’t the experts here.
Let that be a lesson to all future restaurant/hotel owners.
Try not to poison your client base.
And there you have it!
