Gordon Ramsay is a well-known star chef around the world not only for his cooking but also
for his sharp tongue and hilarious comebacks.
While most of those are directed at his apprentices and the business owners he’s helping, there
were several occasions in which the customers weren’t spared either.
During the heat of the tense service night, many have failed to frazzle the always-sharp
Gordon and following are some of the best situations...
You look exactly like a Quail
As usual, Gordon was pissed off because one of the competitors messed up the scallops.
An angry customer decided to complain about his food, not to Jean Philippe as he should’ve,
but to Gordon Ramsay himself.
Gordon ignored the customer, but the guy didn’t understand the silent message and kept standing
there for a while.
After which the customer angrily pointed out... and left the job of communicating complaints
to Jean Philippe.
This caused Gordon to go over the top.
Sorry about the old bag
On one episode of Kitchen Nightmares, Gordon went to a struggling Italian restaurant called,
Campania, where he met the owner, Joe.
As most of the episodes on the show, the food that was served to Gordon was worse than dog
food and dinner service was just as bad, to say the least.
Noticing the struggles this restaurant was going through, he made a complete remodeling
of the interior as well as the menu as well and a relaunch of the restaurant.
During the reopening dinner service, the restaurant was crowded with customers eager to try the
new food selected personally by Gordon.
As expected, everyone loved the food and enjoyed the different flavors he put together.
One table of customers seem to hat the food they got.
Because Gordon is an experienced chef, he recognized that these were just people who
wanted to cause trouble and personally went to their table.
The older woman got up and complained once more to him directly.
But the old lady pushed onwards and he just left her standing at the door while he was
apologizing to the entering customers.
You look more like a dog than I do!
You would think that five seasons of a show would be enough for someone to learn Gordon
Ramsay’s manners, but there were still people who wanted to act smart in front of him and
critique the food he was letting out of the kitchen.
On one of Hell’s Kitchen’s episodes, the already pissed-off Gordon had to chase away
a lady who whistled at him like a dog.
Gordon politely thanked her and tried to turn back to the contestants and continue with
the dinner service.
The woman called after the chef one more time and after being ignored...
A rather rude comment, but perhaps one that
was deserved?
And if that wasn’t enough, when he sent her food out...
Take the giraffe back to the table, please
There is never enough drama in Hell’s Kitchen and there is always someone that won’t be
satisfied.
Whether it’s Gordon being disappointed in his contestants and the way dinner service
went or the customers for the food they got or didn’t
get, the end result is never good.
And for some customers that tried to voice their opinion, the end result was even worse.
Besides being left with no food, they got chased off in the traditional Hell’s Kitchen
way.
We saw that in season 3 when a seemingly tall lady came up to the hotplate.
Gordon asked Jean Philippe for the lady’s table number so he could see where the food
was.
Although she was shocked at first and seemed like she was waiting for an apology, she realized
soon enough that it’s of no use to argue with Gordon after he cursed at her once more
and quietly went back to her table to wait for her food.
Thank you and f*ck off
As a newly opened restaurant, Hell’s Kitchen wasn’t as famous 17 years ago as it is now.
But some things have never changed and one of those are the struggles during the first
few dinner services when many of the contestants weren’t still used to working in a fast-paced
and tense environment.
And as if the pressure of creating a first good impression in front of the clients wasn’t
enough, Gordon had to deal with some tough customers and additional pressure coming from
the dining room.
On one of those occasions, a couple approached him telling him they’d been waiting…
Gordon disappointingly told her... and that she could realize what was going on behind
him without him having to explain it.
After they kept going on about how the time had passed, he completely brushed them off
and continued talking to the contestants.
It seemed like even though it was a newly opened business, Gordon had no fear of negative
feedback.
You do nothing for me Season 1 of Hell’s Kitchen was packed with
Gordon’s explosive moments not only with his chef apprentices but also with the diners.
Many decided to skip Jean Philippe and file their complaints directly at the head chef
himself – not realizing this is a huge mistake.
And even though Gordon apologized (something he rarely does) and explained the situation
politely, the young man just said...
After a brief confrontation in which the male customer told Gordon that he didn’t understand
why it was so hard to get food out of the kitchen.
After this comment, he proceeded to chase away the customer with his an explosion of
curses and proved once more that...
His confrontation with Vic Reeves
Having a celebrity come to your restaurant is something many chefs dream of experiencing.
But not Gordon.
He treats every customer the same and honestly is not hesitant to flip someone off if they’re
acting rude, no matter who the customer is.
Even Jean Philippe was hesitant and didn’t deny his mundane order.
He wasn’t even bothered when he found out who the customer was and had no problem with
telling him to his face ... Reeves continued to argue with Ramsay and during this confrontation.
Vic Reeves tells him that he doesn’t like anything on the menu to which Gordon repeats
his answer that he won’t make him any eggs.
He then turned back to the kitchen and his cooks and ignored Reeves’ further requests.
Would you mind taking your breasts off my hotplate?
There isn’t a kitchen where the working environment is tenser than Hell’s Kitchen.
The contestants fight their way to the top in front of millions of viewers under difficult
circumstances that not many are able to work in.
The dinner service started horribly with chefs cooking scallops in a pan that wasn’t a
non-stick one, followed by a few raw chicken steaks, Gordon’s all-time arch enemy.
Food was running late, and there were some mad customers in the dining room and an even
madder Gordon on the other side of the aisle.
So, when a disgruntled diner approached the hotplate asking how long she will have to
wait for her beef, Gordon immediately turned and told her...
After the woman started flipping trays of food that were ready for serving, security
was called and escorted the lady and her friends out of the restaurant.
People don’t seem to know how to choose the right moment to complain to Gordon.
Diced or whole?
This one is one of the Gordon moments people still talk about.
It’s a true representation of Gordon’s explosive character combined with his hilariously
genius English insults.
Even though it was obvious that he was pissed off at a horrible first dinner service, it
wasn’t enough for a young male diner to back away from coming to him and asking for
more pumpkin in his risotto.
After he kept asking for more pumpkin in his risotto, Gordon again asked if he could stop
being rude and let him talk, but some people seem to just love provoking Ramsay and pushing
him into a deeper state of rage.
And of course, after this situation, no other customer dared to approach the kitchen.
Escort the two bimbos back to Plastic Surgery
During a tense night of butchered lambs and raw salmon, a young lady (probably unfamiliar
with Gordon’s character) came up to him complaining about how long she and her friends
had been waiting for their food.
Although it was the first ever Hell’s Kitchen episode and Gordon’s manners were unknown
to the audience, you would expect this to be a good enough lesson and teach anyone not
bother Gordon while he’s working.
But her friend didn’t seem to take Gordon seriously and had some other ideas on her
mind.
Instead of sitting patiently, she went back to Gordon with the first girl and told him
he insulted her friend.
And if you know Gordon, you know he doesn’t care about other random people’s feelings.
It’s one of those situations you can’t help but laugh at.
Although some of these comments are unbelievable to some, Gordon still manages to tell them
in a way that makes the whole situation pretty funny.
It seems like the saying “the customer is always right” doesn’t apply to him.
