The type of cheese matters. If you don't give a fuck about the cheese and just buy the cheapest mozzarella available then you are going to get some mass produced trash that produces a lot of grease when heated.

[Anonymous No.14145167]

The only time I had a pizza that wasn't hot and fresh have the cheese slide off like that was when we ordered extra cheese with extra sauce.

It was good, but it didn't work.

Whole Milk, Low Moisture Mozz will do that, too.

It's great, but if you cook it wrong in an over or something (ironically not being hot enough) it'll squeeze all the fat out and you get a pool of grease.

Literally watch the video. He orders the burgers medium rare, but when they come out medium rare he calls them "raw" and sends them back. On the last one they probably just got frustrated and overcooked the damn thing to appease his fragile sensibilities, at which point he calls it bland and overcooked, because obviously.

At 0:33 you can hear someone in the kitchen saying, "We don't have any more of the extra-big buns," which tells me they ran out of the buns after having to serve the same burger to him so many times and normally the burger would come on an appropriately sized bun.

I dunno, but it's still important to note that "We ran out of big buns" is a far different thing than "We serve this giant burger on normal buns always." But of course they'll ignore it and do their best to edit around it and pretend like the small bun is the standard way they serve the burger.

[Anonymous No.14148360]

they didn't edit around it they showed 3 different staff members comment on it and even cut to the waitress saying she was terrified to bring the sandwich out. you can see one of the old sandwiches on the table next to him with a big bun.

Okay, I decided to go through the whole episode. Turns out he only ordered the Cowboy Burger once, and the other burgers he sent back were different ones. So he really did think the Cowboy Burger came on a tiny bun. But he did still keep calling the burgers "raw" when they were clearly medium rare. Later on in the episode he tries a custom burger made by the head chef and says, "The temperature is perfect," and when the female owner points out it's medium and not medium rare Ramsey does a double-take and says, "Y-yeah, w-well I guess it might not be medium rare but it's juicy!"

In the show the producers insisted they make a shit pizza for Ramsay. If he's doing a kitchen nightmare episode about your business the he already knows the food the reviews and all the financial business. Because if he can turn it around and be profitable it becomes a Gordon Ramsay branded license and he takes a cut. Its why so many USA people told him to fuck off.

Did he fucking order a burger or did he leave it to the chef to decide? for fucks sake mate You just can't be honest can you?
Not only that you are purposefully misrepresenting how the scene played out, He said "it may be medium but its fucking juice" meaning he didn't mind it was medium. BECAUSE HE DIDN'T ORDER IT MEDIUM RARE. And all of that after the female owner tried to pretend she was almost choking on "something dry aged";

>He said "it may be medium but its fucking juice" meaning he didn't mind it was medium.
It was a backpedal. He first cut the burger open and looked at it and applauded that THIS ONE was FINALLY at the right temp. He had been ordering previous burgers medium rare, so put two and two together here, anon, he clearly thinks that medium rare is normally ideal for a burger and when he looked at that medium burger he praised it for being medium rare. He looked at it a second time and backpedaled when it was called out as not being medium rare.

Did he said that? when did he said that? Oh look he never said that in the episode.

He was obviously comparing the done-ness of the burger to all the previous burgers he ordered, which were all ordered medium rare. He called this one PERFECT. So yes, the implication is he doesn't fucking know what he's talking about when it comes to done-ness of burgers. Or, maybe he DOES know what he's talking about and he's lying about the previous burgers being "raw" to spice things up for the camera. I just find it impossible to believe that someone could order 5-6 medium rare burgers and have the same chef fuck them all up and leave them raw every single time. There's clearly something fishy going on, either Ramsey doesn't understand what medium rare means or it's all an act for the TV show.

Again since you simply assume things you can also assume this with any evidence besides your own assumption.
>a. I just find it impossible to believe that someone could order 5-6 medium rare burgers and have the same chef fuck them all up and leave them raw every single time.
Well he didn't he ordered 3, 2 were raw( and you can see the raw meat inside) and one was too big and overcooked and the bun was horrible. Did you even watch the episode you claimed to have?
> There's clearly something fishy going on,
yeah I mean, they clearly planted the raw meat they filmed... for fucks sake it obvious they play up things for the camera, but if everything was as fake as you said Gordon would be ruined in law suits after lawsuit.
