If we're going to play TV-chef-top-trumps:

I'm still in the pro-JO camp. His recipes are great, campaigns are admirable, seems like a decent bloke really and once again - crumpets with egg and chilli for breakfast.

well I'm with keltoi on this, I don't think he's done anything bad - he's just found success and capitalised on it. his food is great, his restaurant is excellent and, in my opinion, he seems like an ok guy generally. any annoyances people have with him seem more like personal prejudices than genuine grievances.

people like katie price and her ilk (ie idiots with no talent whatsoever who do nothing of worth and contribute zero) are much more deserving of all this jamie rage.

i watch a lot of bbc shows off the net. I like Indian cooking shows and I enjoy Hugh fearnley whittingstall river cottage. More stuff like that

his missus is a hottie

his food is no nonsense and hearty. he's got passion for food and educating fat unhealthy fools.

 

his appearance and speech impediment are irrelevant unless you've still got pent up bullying issues left over from high school or you think everyone on tv should be some kind of squeaky clean model robot fuck.

 

gordon ramsay is who to aim your hate at.

 

He's got a contractual passion for Sainsbury's Taste The Difference range and an obligation as a brand to educate fat unhealthy fools because the lazy and the stupid are still the most profitable target markets out there. I'm sure his food is fine. Well I doubt his Italian restaurant chain is too great but I presume he needs the money to help all the starving kids or whatever.

 

Ramsey is less infuriating as he pretends to be more of a cunt than he is, which is slightly more honest than pretending to be a heart of gold everyman. That said I did see him do some shit cooking with his kids where he was being all lovely and warm and chuckly and it was quite foul.

 

Don't try to tell me you've never mocked someone's appearance since high school either, it's a basic human right and you should never give it up.

 

Bring back Sophie Dahl

 

he had the passion before sainsburys came knocking. which is most likely why they chose him. makes sense, good marketing.

 

he learned his trade in italy with an italian mentor. he knows his onions when it comes to authentic, rustic italian food. this is where his love and some say overuse of olive oil comes from. eat in italy and good quality extra virgin olive oil is used exactly like that.

 

and of course i slag people off all the time without reason or provocation. i just don't find anything that repulsive about him at all, he seems like a decent guy. horses/courses.

 

sophie dahl is sickeningly posh, over priveledged and airy fairy. cannot relate. cannot watch.

I don't give a fuck what he cooks, nobody is cooking along to 30 Minute Meals live on screen, especially so since it's impossible.

 

that's what the book's for! my gf's regularly taking 40 minutes to prepare everything but she stops to read the recipe and she's getting quicker as she learns them. last night she took 20 minutes to do his risotto and 2 salads. if you've got everything ready before hand it's definately do-able. with his risotto you don't chop the onions and mushrooms, you just wack them in the mixer so you don't have to have lightning fast chopping skills. you don't prepare the stock, you just crumble a cube directly into the pot when you add the wine. you make the salads while the rice is cooking. these 30 minute meals are perfectly designed so's busy people/families can eat fresh wholesome food without taking hours and costing the earth. so what if some idiots are moaning they can't do them in exactly 30 minutes, they probably just can't be arsed.

 

ps. i'm not in love with the guy or anything.

 

 

look at him though!

Yeah the book! Exactly! Why watch him on telly if you have to buy the book? I've used his recipes before, they are fine, I don't have a problem with his cooking. I just don't want to hear or see him when I'm eating at his restaurant or using his recipe because i think he's a faux-philanthropic slippery tosser with equally objectionable mannerisms.

I apologise for how much I hate him, I'm aware it's disproportionate. The advert for Dream School just came on and there is a clip at the end where he walks smuggly down a corridor... good god! The man's an arse!

My lust for Sophie Dahl existed entirely within her cooking program, she looks like a cod in most of her photos.

A bit like King James I then.

I know a few people who bang on about how much they hate Jamie Oliver and always expect me to join in.. But there are just so many people more worthy of vitriol.

I don't like him as such, but he's never done anything to make him register on my hatred richter scale.

or people with down syndrome.

nope, i don't like him. i'd fuck his wife though.

I think it's all the man-weeping and fake blubbering that annoy me. I can see clearly through all the one-man-on-a-mission sentiments, and it's finely honed machine to make massive profit.

Our patron saint of England is a knight who slayed a dragon and screwed a princess. Not a mockney twat with a wooden spoon. I think he just needs to be reminded of the fact.

ramsay is nearly as annoying. especially the american version of hells kitchen.

i like it when he swears at people though, i can't lie.

ramsay is annoying but, i mean, on hells kitchen USA you can't give him shit for being such a dumb twat, the people he has to deal with are fucktards.

he's not annoying in kitchen nightmares most of the time

he is a LOT less annoying on the original UK versions of both franchises. he really plays up to the camera on the US versions.

we americans only understand conflict when it is dialed up about 10 times what it should be, and if the british is subtitled into english.

lol.

My favorite moment last season was when guido Vinny made the runny risotto (that's ri-SOT-o) that was intended for Ramsey's family and he intercepted it. I thought it might escalate when he splashed the pan at him and said "YOU LITTLE FUCKAH!"

this guy seems to be doing okay even though ramsay gave him the boot: http://aht.seriouseats.com/archives/2011/02/big-and-littles-burger-foie-gras-fries-review-chicago-il.html

i would actually have sex with those foie gras fries.

On Kitchen Nightmares, has Ramsay ever had a meal that was alright? Not amazing, not so bad he wants to vomit up his own pelvis; just, y'know, alright.
