What meal would you most like Gordon Ramsay to cook for you ?

Humble pie.

None. The guy's an asshole. I don't care how well he cooks. I want nothing to do with him ever. Even if he just stayed in the kitchen and cooked and a waiter brought the meal out to me, it would be to close. Besides, I'm sure I could hear him screaming at himself from the dining room. ;-)

Who's that?

Some f*ckbattered f*ckchicken in f*ckered f*cksauce on f*ckled f*ckrice. With a nice bottle of f*ckerwine.

Oh, wait, he already made that on TV.

Never mind.

Name a Michelin 3* chef that isn't!

Kinda silly, isn't it?

I work in construction now (52) , and started when I was 16.

If some punky smartass talked to me, even when I was a kid digging holes, the way he does I would have wrapped a shovel around that trashy mouth.

He gets away with it because like a bratty child, no one will stop him.

I'll bet if one of those wannabes would bitch slap him hard enough to rattle his teeth, he would think a lot more seriously about using that big mouth of his.

I don't hear language like that on job sites. MEN don't talk to people that way. Men that work with other blue collar men won't try it as they will be wearing their ass as a hatband for that kind of language and threatening behavior.

All that tough, mean, foul talk.... it only shows what a cowardly weenie he is in life.

Obviously an emotive topic.

Back to the question.

I would have him cook a British meal of his choice in which _all_ ingredients were sourced within 10 miles of where I was eating. The place would preferably be Stratford-upon-Avon. Beverage would be real ale (brewed within 10 miles as well).

True enough, but he doesn't get his butt kicked up around his ears because the restaurants he is trying to "save" are getting paid for being on TV. Same principle that powers Jerry Springer, Judge Judy, and almost every reality show ever made... some people will accept a hell of a lot of public humiliation for a little bit of money, and there are millions of people who want to watch.

A friend's son and his buddies cooked up some phony story and wrote to the Jerry Springer show to try to get on. Sure enough it worked and they were invited to appear on the show for a fee. They went on the air and acted it out, making fools of themselves for the entire country. Afterwards, thinking he would amaze the producers by showing them how stupid they were, he told one of them that the whole thing was made up.

The simple response was "Yeah, we know."
