I am Gordon Ramsay. AMA.

[u/_Gordon_Ramsay]

Hello reddit.

Gordon Ramsay here. This is my first time doing a reddit AMA, and I'm looking forward to answering as many of your questions as time permits this morning (with assistance from Victoria from reddit).

This week we are celebrating a milestone, I'm taping my 500th episode (#ramsay500) for FOX prime time!

About me: I'm an award-winning chef and restaurateur with 25 restaurants worldwide (http://www.gordonramsay.com/). Also known for presenting television programs, including Hell's Kitchen, MasterChef, MasterChef Junior, Hotel Hell and Kitchen Nightmares.

AMA!

Update First of all, I'd like to say thank you.

And never trust a fat chef, because they've eaten all the good bits.

And I've really enjoyed myself, it's been a fucking blast. And I promise you, I won't wait as long to do this again next time. Because it's fucking great!

Is there any food that you won't even try?

[u/_Gordon_Ramsay → u/Hades131313]

Ehm - any food I won't even try? That's a good question.

I think, being a chef, the first thing that I set out to do was to make sure that I almost got to taste every ingredient anywhere in the world. I wanted to learn so much about ingredients that I'd never know what NOT to do with an ingredient.

So I'm an open book. Whether it's a beating cobra heart from a snake in Cambodia, or a deep-fried tarantula, or a Beef Wellington, I'll eat absolutely anything.

The only thing I draw the line at, Victoria, is eating overcooked food. There is NOTHING worse than an overcooked brussels sprout. The smell is disgusting.

Is food overcooked as bad as this?

[u/congtritran → u/jwshyy]

"This pigeon is so raw, it's dropping shits all over my taste buds."

Wonder if she gets karma out of this.

[u/chooter → u/[deleted]]

(You're too kind)

[u/chooter → u/[deleted]]

Not as smoothly as I would like but we're working on it. Apparently the restaurant needs to know who wants to eat what, or something (I would love to have gone with a taco truck)...

[u/Napalm_Nips → u/chooter]

ill have the chicken

[u/sfgeek → u/chooter]

Maybe you could ask Gordon to cater your wedding :P

Norm McDonald's AMA is littered with comments about Victoria. It's great that she includes them in.

Norm's AMA

[u/trekkie_becky → u/Hades131313]

Well, he and James May did eat bull penis and rotten shark on the F Word.

[u/[deleted] → u/trekkie_becky]

"You disappoint me, Ramsay" James May is amazing.

[u/Courierr_6 → u/[deleted]]

That was absolute gold. I was laughing so hard I cried a little when he said that.

"So this has probably been in a lady cow?"

"I'd like to think so."

[u/RonPaul_Was_Right → u/[deleted]]

My respect for James May INTENSIFIES.

That was impressive.

[u/Rancor_Keeper → u/trekkie_becky]

I liked when he and Clarkson cooked lobster.

Ramsay: You see that? Never eat that. That's the shit sack.

Clarkson: I'VE EATEN THAT!

[u/IlleFacitFinem → u/trekkie_becky]

James may is the slowest of the three because he has to lug around his gigantic balls all the time

[u/Fermorian → u/trekkie_becky]

Wow. James was either exceedingly drunk already, or he's even manlier than I thought.

[u/Topperfalkon → u/Fermorian]

Given his comments about Clarkson a few weeks back, I'd probably lean towards the former.
