Is he overrated?

>> No.11360662

>>11360637
Seems underrated. Everyone says he's a drug addict with no culinary skill whatsoever that could barely be a line cook at Waffle House

>> No.11360678

He's definitely overrated, but that's mostly because of his TV show. Some of his recipes/tutorials on youtube are great for beginners. I still base most of my burgers off of his.

>> No.11360682

>>11360637
all mainstream celebrity chefs are overrated

think about it, they spend most of their time travelling, appearing on shows, interviews, opening restaurants, endorsing products, , marketing,..... in other words, being a celeb, not a chef.

>> No.11360699

Partly true. He is no doubt skilled as a cook, he's just more successful at being a television personality. But he is also hooked through the bag on amphetamines.

>> No.11360904

No. Sure, today he's a TV personality because cash, but he got his start as one of top chefs alive. Take it for what you will, but Bourdain thought very highly of the guy.

His one episode of Kitchen Nightmares where he at at a sheboon's "soul food" restaurant proved him a hack. No man who hadn't sold his soul would eat that niggerslop and call it good.

Its a plebian's opinion to sort food into "good kinds and bad kinds".
That kind of stupidity is left to the customers.

A real chef knows that all food is good *for what it is* when properly executed.

Ramsey abuses you, you have two options:

1. Hit him, get sacked, maybe prosecuted, no-one else will hire you.

2. Take it on the chin, improve, learn to cook at the highest level, then be one of the myriad of chefs who worked for Ramsey then became successful in their own right.
