Since there are a lot of nervous chefs competing for Chef Ramsay’s approval there is bound
to be some clashing of palates.
He handles it well, with the usual verbal abuse, and for the most part he chokes the
bad food down.
But every now and then, a chef presents him with such bad food that he literally spits
it out.
Here are 10 of those times…

Andrew’s Absolute Penne It is time to take a trip down memory lane
to season 1 of Hell’s Kitchen.
Do you remember how bright-eyed and hopeful the contestants looked?
Do you remember the light fading into despair as they faced off against Ramsay?
Good times… good times.
Anyway, our first terrible dish was made by a man named, Andrew.
The camera pans over the crowd of contestants who are eagerly watching as Ramsay chooses
a signature dish to try.
Keep in mind that this is the first signature dish of the first season of Hell’s Kitchen.
They are about to get their first taste of true fear, they just don’t know it yet.
Ramsay lifts the lid, and asks whose dish he is tasting.
Poor unsuspecting Andrew raises his hand and is called forward.
The music gets tense as Ramsay takes a bite…
He chews for literally a second, before turning around and spitting it out.
Everyone looks shocked, except for Andrew who decided to play tough.
Bad move, Andrew, bad move.
Ramsay then compares it to absolute dog…
feces… and tells Andrew to take a bite.
Andrew then says that it could use some salt.
We all started cringing collectively.
You could practically hear the thousands of people telling him to “SHUT UP!”.
He didn’t… he made it worse…
But it was a way to start the show with a bang, as well as this list!
So, sit back, and enjoy the show!
Louie’s Gunky Gravy Louie was a contestant who was ridiculously
proud of his diner.
Louie also did not last long, so do not be like Louie.
He kept bragging about how much gravy he sold, and so Ramsay asked if he sold all his gravy
to pigs.
We all felt bad for Louie, he seemed like such a nice guy.
But that does not change the fact that his gravy looked like pig slop.
Also, who in their right mind thought that sausage gravy would be a good idea?
Ramsay bravely put a spoonful in his mouth and you could practically see him trying to
stop himself from heaving.
Then he gave up and spat it out.
Poor Louie innocently asked what was wrong with it, and Ramsay replied that it tasted
like gunk.
Ugh.
We do feel bad for Louie, since that cannot be an easy thing to endure.
He looked calm in front of Ramsay, but ranted about it to the camera.
Apparently hundreds of people eat that gravy every week.
Like, how busy is your diner?
The poor guy was very insulted, but at least he had the good sense not to talk back to
Ramsay.
Can you imagine if he had?
I bet it would have been fun.
Let us all imagine that for a second.
Louie covered in gunky gravy.
Poor Louie.
But to be fair, do not go onto Hell’s Kitchen unless you are strong enough to watch Ramsay
spit out your food.
Colleen’s Chicken Diapers You know, if Ramsay takes one look at your
signature dish and compares it to diapers, maybe you should not step forward.
Maybe you should tuck tail and run.
Maybe change your name and move to Venezuela, we hear it is lovely around this time of year.
But alas, some poor soul decided to step forward.
Her name was Colleen, and kept trying to correct Ramsay’s pronunciation of her name.
Which is an all-round bad move.
You could tell from the other contestants’ cringing that she probably should have quit
while she was ahead and moved to Venezuela.
She did not.
Instead, she told Ramsay that she is a recreational cooking chef, and that no, she was not a trained
chef.
She also mentioned that she made about $300 for a few hours’ work.
Ramsay was not impressed.
Have you ever noticed that he is very touchy about culinary ethics?
Chefs’ rights and all that.
He then commented on how big the portion was, and Colleen offered to help him.
Sigh.
Anyway, long story short, Ramsay did not like her food and proceeded to spit it out and
begin ranting about it.
Colleen looked upset - who wouldn’t be?
She looked like she was struggling to keep her mouth shut.
At this point we were all screaming “VENEZUELA!”
at our television screens.
Do you think that she listened?
No, of course not.
Instead, she informed Ramsay that she also taught manners.
Our heads exploded, and so did Ramsay’s.
Seriously, we do not even think you would be allowed in any country after that.
Chrissa’s Ginger Cookie Crusted Chicken Breast
Chefs love to play around with flavours.
They are great at coming up with new dishes and it can be amazing to see the level of
creativity that sometimes comes from their minds.
Every now and again, they come up with something spectacular, but more often than not, it turns
out a complete disaster.
For example, sometimes strange combinations work, like fried ice-cream.
Other times, those combinations should never have been thought of, like orange juice and
toothpaste.
Ask Chrissa, who was in the cookie aisle one day when inspiration struck.
Why not crumb ginger cookies and turn the into a crust for chicken breasts?
Spoiler alert- NO!
We could have saved her a lot of trouble right there.
Just no.
That was the look on Ramsay’s face when he asked her what he was about to eat.
He looked skeptical, but still took a bite.
Then proceeded to spit it out.
Of course he did, because who in their right mind looks at a packet of ginger cookies and
decides to coat a chicken breast with it?
Bad chef!
Bad!
She did not look all that surprised - she looked a little embarrassed.
Excuse us?
You are about to cook in front of the bad boy chef, and decide to experiment?!
Who on earth?
That is a desecration of cookies!
And we love cookies, which is why we are reacting so strongly to this dish.
But can you blame us?
Is nothing sacred?
Do not do this.
Ever.
Petrozza’s Hen-in-a-pumpkin Do you ever get a brilliant idea?
You decide to tell your friend, who then smacks you on the head and tells you that you are
a moron?
As soon as they do that, you realize that they were right and that they saved you a
lot of embarrassment?
It has happened to us at least once in our lives.
What happens when your friends aren’t around to stop you?
Ask Petrozza, who decided to stuff a Cornish hen in a pumpkin and serve it to Gordon Ramsay.
We kid you not.
He should have quit when Ramsay held up a fist full of his potatoes and watched the
oil run from his hands.
That really happened.
Look at it.
Look at the oozing oil.
Now look at Ramsay’s face.
That is not the look of an impressed Gordon Ramsay.
He then had to ask Petrozza to cut it out and serve it to him.
It looked like a lot of effort to take it out.
Maybe he should have just left the chicken alone.
Ramsay then told the chef that he wanted to stuff the chef’s head in the pumpkin.
Bad news - after all that effort, the food was bad.
Ramsay spat out the chicken and complained that the pumpkin was not even seasoned.
Petrozza then defended his dish by saying that at least it was memorable.
Look, Hitler was memorable, that does not make it a good thing.
Of course, there is no comparison between the two, but if you are going to defend something,
at least do it right.
Memorable is not always a good thing.
Seth’s Honey Ratatouille You can almost put money on the fact that
whenever a chef claims that Ramsay will love their signature dish, he will not.
But Seth decided to take it further and claim that Ramsay would not only love his dish,
but that he would find a kindred spirit in him and that they would become best buds.
We might be paraphrasing, but Seth was gushing about how alike he and Ramsay were.
Seth was basically worshipping Ramsay, and himself.
Who compares themselves to a world-class chef and then serving a dish that they probably
have not tasted yet?
And it was a warning sign in itself, because Ramsay is one of a kind.
For someone who claims to know everything about Ramsay and that they have similar tastes,
he should have known better.
He decided to put honey in his ratatouille.
Not only did Ramsay call him out about his bad cooking, he also berated Seth for laughing
and threatened to kick Seth off the show, right there.
That must have been brutal for Seth, but then again, he probably should not have put honey
in his ratatouille.
After all, he had been cooking for 15 years and he read all of Ramsay’s books.
There really is no excuse.
A little dose of humble pie was tossed in Seth’s face, you know, if the humble pie
was covering a baseball bat with a bunch of nails hammered in.
Steve Harrington approves.
Matt’s WTF Tartar You better hope that you are not the next
chef to present his meal after Ramsay begs God to let there be one good dish.
But Chef Matt had that honor, and he messed it up.
Royally.
It is especially bad because Matt was bragging about his dish.
He claimed that Ramsay would understand him because he was a true culinary and that his
dish represented the best of him.
Oops.
He called it exotic tartar, and it featured caviar and white chocolate.
A true culinary, you say?
Yeah, no.
Poor Ramsay asked if he was being “punked”, or if the chef smoked drugs.
And then listed all the ingredients in a desperate voice.
When the chef nodded, Ramsay had no choice but to taste the meal.
And got a mouthful of capers as a result which are not the best and most tastiest food.
Poor Ramsay.
He retched into that bucket like his life depended on it.
But wouldn’t you after eating caviar and white chocolate?
If you are mad at Ramsay, keep in mind that he really tried his best to keep it down.
But he could not, and then he called it the worst combination he had tasted in all his
years of cooking.
We think that must be some kind of record breaker.
We know that Ramsay is always painted as the bad guy, and yeah sure, he swears and screams
a lot, but come on.
He has had to put up with a lot.
These so-called professionals keep making him eat junk.
Can you imagine having to swallow down capers, caviar and white chocolate?!
Guy’s Bad Sauce When Guy introduces himself, he mentions that
he was born in Israel and that he spent 3 years as an infantry officer, and that it
would take a lot to break him.
We aren’t saying that the army isn’t as bad as Ramsay’s kitchen, but Guy did look
close to tears after leaving the chef’s table.
Then again, being in chef Ramsay’s kitchen comes freakishly close to actual combat.
The high stakes, the stress.
True - no one is shooting at you, but words hurt too, you know.
When Ramsay asked the chefs to give him something stunning, he did not mean stunningly bad.
Before Ramsay can even taste the dish, Guy warns him that the sauce is bad.
Then why plate it?
Why would you send something out knowing that it was bad?
Especially if Ramsay is the one who is going to be tasting it?
What is up with these people?
AT this point We are beginning to wonder if these people like being at the receiving end
of Ramsay’s rage.
Anyway, Ramsay looks just about done with tasting these dishes and decides to taste
the bad sauce.
Surprise, surprise - he spits it out and Guy is sent away in disgrace.
Honestly, we just can’t with these people anymore.
No wonder Gordon spends most of his time screaming - we would too!
Although, if we were on the show, we would probably serve up something a lot worse than
just bad sauce.
We nearly felt bad for Guy, but then he rants off-screen about how he told Ramsay not to
eat the sauce.
Dude, seriously?
Jim’s Stuffed Pan Seared Chicken Breast We will now be going back to season 1 of Hell’s
Kitchen.
That season was just so full of bad food, we could not help ourselves.
Jimmy, a purchasing supervisor, stepped forward and proudly explained what he had cooked.
Poor guy, he should have just left.
Or cooked something better.
It is never a good sign when Ramsay procrastinates eating your food, and even less so when he
says that it looks like a “dehydrated camel turd”.
Ouch and ew in equal measure.
He then started flicking carrot tops at the wannabe chef.
Fair enough, the chef should never have expected Ramsay to eat them, but we digress.
He then asked to be excused, turned around and began spitting up Jimmy’s pan seared
chicken breast.
One of the contestants had to stifle a giggle (not for long though, because their turns
were coming).
The look on Jimmy’s face was priceless, he looked sort of shocked and kind of like
he did not know what to do.
On the bright side, he didn’t try to hit Ramsay, which is always a good thing, we suppose.
But he could have done better if he hadn’t served something that looked like a dried
out camel turd.
Hashtag just saying.
Man, season 1 was a mess, no wonder Ramsay was yelling all the time.
We think that was the point when he started refusing to work with amateur chefs.
ALthough, it is not as if the professional chefs did any better, as our next entry proves.
Antonia’s Mardi Gras Gumbo And now for our final dish.
We are actually quite excited about this one, because it is particularly bad.
Forget everything you have ever seen Ramsay do.
We are pretty sure this is the most savage thing he has ever done.
While tasting the contestants’ signature dishes, he comes across Antonia’s.
She proudly announces that she created a Mardi Gras Gumbo, and from Ramsay’s reaction,
you can see that he is not impressed.
He take a bite, and everyone leans forward.
He does not react well, among the coughing and spluttering, he starts yelling at Antonia.
As it turns out, she did not taste her dish before serving it.
Ramsay then refused to throw the food away, instead he made every other contestant taste
her failure.
To be fair, Antonia did stir the pot by saying that he should just throw it away if it was
that bad.
Don’t tell Ramsay what to do, otherwise he might just take a bunch of spoons and make
your competitors taste your mud soup so that they can hate you too.
The contestants looked a bit freaked out until they tasted it, after which some of them wished
they could pull a Ramsay and spit out the food.
Seriously, we know Ramsay is savage, but this was beyond that.
He taught her a valuable lesson.
Always taste your food before sending it for others to taste.
Also, don’t provoke Gordon Ramsay.
We have shown when Ramsay could be nice, we have shown you his softer side.
But never, ever make this mistake of thinking Ramsay will not tear you to shreds.
Hope you enjoyed the video of Ramsay in his natural form.
