Gordon Ramsay Is 'Appalled' By This Kitchen Trend
Gordon Ramsay? Angry about something? Inconceivable!
The longtime Hell's Kitchen host, who made a name for himself by screaming at up-and-coming chefs, calling them cows and donkeys, is showing his softer side in his new Netflix documentary series, Being Gordon Ramsay.
“I wanted to show the other side, the other half of me and I don't think that's been done properly,” he told Peopleabout the doc. "It was real and not many people have seen me in my pajamas."
The six-episode miniseries follows the MasterChef host as he opens five new restaurants in London's 22 Bishopgate. But it also shows him at home with his wife, Tana, and their six children: Megan, twins Holly and Jack, Matilda — affectionately known as Tilly, Oscar, and Jesse.
Despite having a famous chef for a father, only one of the Kitchen Nightmares star's children is following in his footsteps. Tilly is going to culinary school, under no pressure from her dad. “Food, restaurants, this industry, you really need to want it," he said, "and Tilly was banging the door down.”
While Ramsay is obviously thrilled to have a daughter who takes after him, it's opened his eyes to one trend in professional kitchens that he absolutely hates.
Gordon Ramsay Is 'Appalled' By Lack of Women Chefs
“First of all, I'm appalled of the lack of females [in chef roles]," Ramsay said, per People, "and it's so frustrating from that sort of boisterous old fart mentality that women shouldn't be in — they should be running the pastry section.” He added, "It's absolute bull----." Ah, there's the Ramsay we know and love!
Former Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi has been vocal about the kitchen gender divide and how it translates to food television. "I saw all these male chefs kind of swashbucking all over the world ... but I wanted to do a show that was really from a female point of view," she said of her show Taste the Nation in an interview clip posted to her TikTok. "Most of the world is fed by women," she added.
