I'm tired of Gordon Ramsay yelling at people on TV.
Ramsay has had a long career as a chef and restaurateur, but he’s most famous as the British food personality who tells Americans that they’re fucking up. Maybe there was a time when that was exciting TV. But nearly two decades later, Ramsay’s angry man persona—just like that idiot sandwich meme—has gone stale. And it’s getting in the way of who should be the true stars: the contestants., his latest cooking competition show, co-hosted by chefs Ramsay, Nyesha Arrington, and Richard Blaise.
While these twists aren’t inherently evil, none of them feel necessary. After all, audiences seem content with the simplicity and peace of, and I’d argue contestants don’t actually need to be hazed for audiences to care about them. In fact, it’s harder for us to get to know someone when they’re busy juggling knives, figuring out how to braise a goat testicle, or enduring verbal abuse from an angry Brit.
Ramsay’s wrath had an unmistakable impact on food TV, pushing its stakes higher and higher. But sometimes we get glimpses of a different, wholesome Gordon Ramsay, whether with the kids onwhere he scrapes a knife across a pie crust, showing a blind contestant how good her bake had come out through sound. It’s an incredibly sweet moment from a man who owes every dollar he’s made to the swear jar, a type of kindness I believejudge Paul Hollywood is incapable of.
Beneath the bleeping, beneath the gags, there seems to be a kindness inside of chef Gordon Ramsay—and that’s what I want to see more of. Viewers are looking for something new, and I don’t mean yet another contestant torture device. If Ramsay’s going to stay king of the food competition, somewhere in those next 20 shows I want. I want something where Ramsay’s talent is an asset rather than a distraction. If that makes me a fool, then wrap my head in sourdough. The idiot sandwich was me all along.
