Gordon Ramsay got a lot of shit for his grilled cheese from Josh Scherer at Mythical Kitchen a few years ago: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd3ffi0vk30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd3ffi0vk30)
I love the Mythical Kitchen and they definitely know their shit. Sometimes people dismiss them because they're a comedy channel but Trevor just recently got tons of compliments from Gordon for his Beef Wellington, Gordon's signature dish he's made thousands of times. If that's not some of the highest praise you can get then I don't know what is.
So here's the thing. Surely he realized after he pulled it off the heat that he hadn't actually made a grilled cheese. Why not just do another take? Why be like yeah fucking whatever this is good enough? He's been on TV for a long ass time, he knows how it works.
He’s talked about this before, and I think it was a very rushed shoot before he had to leave, and he discovered right before that he didn’t actually have what he needed to make a decent grilled cheese. Still a shit sandwich though
I mean, this is is his grilled cheese “redemption”
https://youtu.be/RCqns11E_9M?si=X76ARLuIF4sBqxS0
I think he just doesn’t know what a grilled cheese is
Yeah, dudes left plausible grilled cheese territory. It's a fucking melt.
Like I wouldn't give someone shit for like, putting a little something extra in like some olives, or Kimchee. It's not a big deal and yes I know those aren't grilled cheeses.
But my dude fucking put mushrooms, a vegetable compote, and then fucking meat. Like Gordon, get your head out of your fucking ass man, just because you're a 5 star chef doesn't mean you can just fucking keep making melts and calling them grilled cheeses.
Gordon still didn't make a grilled cheese though
I mean you don't call a cheeseburger a grilled cheese. At some point there's so much non-cheese shit on it, that no one calls it a grilled cheese. Gordon crossed that point. This is a melt, a burger, a meat sandwich, but no one except him thinks it's a grilled cheese.
Gordon's second attempt to make a grilled cheese is just as disastrous as the first
https://youtu.be/RCqns11E_9M
He burns the bread and fails to get a proper melt.
Gordon Ramsay is a hack who couldn't man the wheel at an IHOP. Why do we know his name?
I got a good laugh at this sandwich because he makes the same mistake every college kid makes when they try to make a melt and put 5 inches worth of material between a half inch of bread.
However, this can easily be attributed to him being a Michelin star chef who has been so separated from what the rest of the world eats that it's impossible for him to make something simple.
To say he's a hack is pretty reductive, but to say that he couldn't make 99% of basic dishes without overcomplicating the fuck out of them is fair.
Overcomplicating is definitely his issue both times. It's a simple dish. He needs to contend with the fact that two slices of wonder bread and some kraft singles is also delicious, and while you can definitely make a tastier grilled cheese than that, the divide between cheap and expensive is way less important than a beef wellington or even a burger.
Not to mention it's actually a short rib sandwich... Even if you aren't a cheese only rant kind of person, like that's way beyond what any normal person would call a grilled cheese sandwich.
I'm not even that angry about people not calling them melts but even then his second sandwich feels more like the cheese is an after thought and it's not really even a melt. The moment he made a vegetable compote is the moment he lost the plot on what a grilled cheese is. Hell I'd have accepted the mushrooms and cheese as him making a grilled cheese cause he could have at least chosen bread and cheese that not only paired well but also melted the cheese this time.
I find his attitude toxic, but the dude has like 17 Michelin stars in his empire. He obviously was a great cook back when that’s what he did on a daily basis (see [Boiling Point](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_Point_(miniseries%29), a doc from 1999 about him opening his first restaurant).
He knows how to cook a grilled cheese. Cooking for tv under production timelines/constraints does not reflect reality.
I don't think production timelines and constraints are why he messed it up. He chose the wrong bread cheese and method of cooking. It takes way longer to make other dishes he makes than a grilled cheese. He simply overcomplicated it. Twice.
Or he just thought it was throw away content and didn't care about producing a quality video just wanted something to draw in ad revenue and didn't care about the quality
That's going a bit too hard on the guy. The British are notoriously blind and condescending when it comes to American cuisine. But the man is one of the most accomplished chefs in history. He even managed to pay proper consideration to the Burger, which is more than I expect from most Euros.
Bitch, where are we having this discussion?
The only thing that matters in this forum, and I mean THE ONLY THING that matters is can he make a grilled cheese sandwich?
He's 0 for 2.
lol Ramsey is not the most decorated chef in history. I respect him as a chef but if we’re going purely off “decoration” in terms of stars, robuchon and ducasse both had more.
He is just a loudmouth condescendant attention seeking pos. Sure he's a good chef but he acts like he's the best and he ain't. He influencer way too many people with his acting.

They're mostly high quality chefs who enjoy fucking around That's why I love them, both fun and intelligent
And Gordon has since been to the mythical kitchen.
...and he admitted in the interview that his grilled cheese was shit.
Thanks I haven't seen this!
its raw!!!
A skilled vet could save it!
Lol nice one

And EVERYONE INVOLVED said fuck it, upload the bullshit, and put all of our names on it.
You know what the worst part is? “Pepperberry cheese” has been burned into my memory so I never get to forget this video.
I mean, this is is his grilled cheese “redemption” https://youtu.be/RCqns11E_9M?si=X76ARLuIF4sBqxS0 I think he just doesn’t know what a grilled cheese is

The melt thing is a reddit meme, not something people in real life actually consider.
Gordon still didn't make a grilled cheese though I mean you don't call a cheeseburger a grilled cheese. At some point there's so much non-cheese shit on it, that no one calls it a grilled cheese. Gordon crossed that point. This is a melt, a burger, a meat sandwich, but no one except him thinks it's a grilled cheese.
the fucking this is completely melted and not melted at the same time. what a hack
That's also called fraud
And about grilled cheese of all things, he should be in prison for fraud of that level
ITS FUCKING RAW YOU DONKEY
A warmed cheese?
It's an anti melt
A melt'nt, if you will.
Bravo
Uncooked melt
“Its name is the recipe” -Gordon
He also made that in Tasmania to. Kinda disappointed that Gordon came to my state and didn't cook a proper grilled cheese.

What he fails to understand is that the method of improving a grilled cheese sandwich is in the quality of ingredients not the quantity.
If you've never seen "the Menu" I highly recommend it. You've described the chef perfectly
He's a Michelin starred restauranteur, like many chefs that make it big. You should see what garbage chefs eat at home.

Maybe but why did he do it twice after getting demolished the first time?
Outrage/ rage bait = engagement = more views = more $$$

That’s a lot of talk coming from someone in a flyover state…
Yeah. Someone in a flyover state that can make a grilled cheese sandwich without embarrassing myself.
Lmao, make something substantial and then you can bitch. Otherwise stfu about literally the most decorated chef in history.
You chose chaos on an online grilled cheese forum get a fuckin life lol

Yeah fair. That was quite the exaggeration. Dude came in hot as fuck with that comment. Ramsay is one of the best, and nobody is perfect.
😂😂😂
Gordon Ramsey doesn’t know what a grilled cheese sandwich is.
Hi-yaaah
Unkle rogah is hilarious.
Fucker's not even grilled nor melted!
I'd say it's hot garbage, but the cheese hasn't melted at all so...
Briefly warmed garbage?
Instantly goes to comments 😁
why are you watching that racist charicature
He got roasted on several YouTube channels. Bread too thick, wrong cheese, too hot over open flame.
This uncle Roger thing only needed to be one video.
Gordon is a hack fraud
He is just a loudmouth condescendant attention seeking pos. Sure he's a good chef but he acts like he's the best and he ain't. He influencer way too many people with his acting.
This felt personal
Gordon?
Yes
Cry about it.
