I'm glad people are starting to see this hack for who he really is. Ramsay and one of his restaurants almost ruined my birthday party...

>decide to organise a last minute party with all my friends and a girl I liked at the time
>someone suggests we go to one of Ramsay's restaurants
>bit expensive but we'll split the bill so whatever
>phone up and ask if they have a table for 4 foodies
>she says they do
>tell her it's my birthday so I will want free birthday cake if they provide it
>she says ok but sounds like she didn't understand, so I repeat myself
>says she heard the first time (yeah right)
>when we get there I remind the waiter it's my birthday

>food arrived on time but was very average and overpriced
>call over the waiter and ask if I can have my free slice of birthday cake now
>she says it isn't free so I had to ask my friends to buy it for me
>it was just chocolate cake and not even proper birthday cake with a candle

His food might be acceptable to the average bistro-goer but if you're a foodie or it's a special occasion, stay away

literally everywhere, I live in Florida and there's tons of places that do that. Shit Firehouse gives you a fucking free sub on your birthday, you get an entire Grandslam meal from Denny's on your birthday. A lot of bars do a free birthday shot. I called taco bell last year on my birthday and asked if they did anything and the girl who answered the phone literally said "We don't, but if you come in we can hook you up with some cinnabon bites" Waffle House and IHOP both do birthday waffle/pancake. You just need to stop being a cuck and take advantage of deals.

Depends on the restaurant. No one is required to give you anything for free even if it is your birthday. But some will do it to be nice.

/tv/ pasta

>> No.18328773

I watched the TV show he made with that French guy Fred and the Italian chef Gino, where they travel across countries tasting cuisine and cooking.
Gordon came off as such an absolute asshole, and I'm not talking about the character he plays, you could clearly tell that he was such a flaming cunt in person.
His real personality showed, and it was honestly disgusting to witness. I am 100% for the creative intent of developing a TV character which is known for being rude or insulting, but in this one, where supposedly they traveled in close quarters together, for what seemed like one or two weeks per episode, you could clearly see how much of a senile, depressing, and downright hurtful narcissistic cunt he was.
Some of the shit he did, the way he acted was 100% him and not at all the ''rude chef trope'' he plays. He was actually being a cunt.
It was shocking. By the end of it, Gino wanted to murder him. And Fred was trying to diffuse the tension and anger but was clearly shocked at how much of a sad cunt Gordon was being.
In one episode, there is a sabotage attempt from Gordon where he hurts Gino's chance to win a competition. Whether that was scripted or not (by Gordon, I think it was his show/idea), the way it all played out, and happened was beyond jarring, and it seemed like he was settling out personal qualms, and it soured the mood of the whole show.
Like damn, they're shooting an episode where they sail and drive across the summertime South of France looking for ingredients to prepare a few dishes for an oyster eating festival, and the direction the production chose to go with is, hateful, mean, deceitful and just depressing/angry vibes oozing through the screen of them backstabbing each other, Gordon of course, being the instigator.
This show for me, was like seeing his mask fall for the first time. There's a difference between thrashing food you're meant to critique. But he was such an asshole there. Go watch the whole show clips on YT. See for yourself.

Never once been to a restaurant where this was policy.

You now realize that every single person who did this for you in your life was really kind and took it out of their own paycheck(or otherwise did you a solid by not charging it) to provide your autistic ass your "free" cake or dessert on your birthday.

Maybe if you order a big ass meal or bring like 20 people there or some shit, yeah. But most places don't just give people free shit if they show up on their birthday as a matter of policy.
