Executive chef at a top Thai restaurant tells Gordon Ramsay that his Pad Thai is trash [x]
Lmao âwhat do you want to know from me?â Fuck!
So no one thinks that Gordonâs being âPut in his placeâ or something, this is from Gordonâs show where he specifically goes to places around the world to be schooled in how they do their cuisine and un-fuck the British (Imperialist but we canât admit that on TV, but he does hint STRONGLY at it in some episodes) way of cooking âexoticâ dishes by learning from the people who do it best.
Thatâs the worldâs most successful chef putting himself in a position to learn from chefs around the world in world-class restaurants, grandmotherâs houses, in a cramped make-shift kitchen on a rocking and speeding steam train, and more. He doesnât shy away from learning from people whoâve never been in the remote vicinity of a culinary arts school or run a âprofessionalâ kitchen.
And here heâs showing a chef what he thinks of as Pad Thai and if you donât think one of the most talented chefs on earth didnât know he was specifically setting himself up to fail to make a point to his audience, then hopefully you do now! <3Â
the context- he wasnt saying âheres my world famous pad tai for you to sample, a recipe i hold more dear then my own motherâ its closer to âhere, this is how i was taught to cook pad tai in liverpool by a man named charles, how far off am i?â
I also think the precise criticism is interesting. The other chef doesnât say itâs bad. He definitely doesnât say itâs trash. He doesnât say itâs a bad meal. What he says is that itâs not pad thai. Itâs been labelled as a specific thing and it doesnât resemble that thing to someone from that culture.](https://pics.awwmemes.com/jessicameats-brunhiddensmusings-katjohnadams-minusthelove-kingjaffejoffer-executive-chef-at-a-top-65608186.png)
