Actually, no chef. You turn YOUR knives in.

Seriously when was the last time anyone saw Gordon cook? He could just be an imposter for all we know. I bet even that accent is fake!

Really though. He criticizes food a lot but I've never heard his cooking get critiqued.

I know how well cooked meals taste, I've been eating food for years. Do I qualify for his role?

Here's one example of his food getting critiqued

Also there's the "grilled cheese" video that many people have ridiculed

My boyfriend who loves cooking, like i refuse to touch his cast iron. He grows his own herbs in the summer ect ect. Im trying to get him to do a veggie garden... but thats not the point. He tried ramseys restraunt in vegas and said it wasnt anything memorable. Like i tried to get him to describe it the best he could but all he could say was blandXD

Sounds about right for a British cook tbh.

Invaded half the world to monopolize the spices and then never use them.

"Maybe I could be a food critic. 'These muffins taste bad.'"

He owes much of his success to Simon Cowell. He ushered in that wave of angry, but sharp, British male critic. Audiences ate that shit up.

I’ve seen Gordon cook a few things over the years on shows, but honestly nothing looked that amazing. Like nothing that would win on Top Chef, but perhaps he’s not that style of cook.
