―Gordon Ramsay on Hell's Kitchen, whenever someone messes up. | ||
Gordon James Ramsay (born: November 8, 1966) is a Scottish chef, restaurateur, television personality and writer. As a reality television personality, Ramsay is known for his bluntness, overuse of profanity, as well as fiery temper and strict demeanor, especially on the Hell's Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares TV series.
Early Life[]
Ramsay was born on November 8, 1966, in Johnstone, Renfrewshire, Scotland, and was raised in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Channel[]
On his channel, Ramsay would upload mostly cooking recipes, or highlights of his cooking. He often showcases his cooking, and his steps on how to cook it, and would also bring several guests on his videos. Full episodes and compilations of some of his shows, such as Kitchen Nightmares, The F Word, Hotel Hell, and 24 Hours To Hell & Back, are also uploaded to the channel.
Since 2019, Ramsay has produced exclusive shows for the channel. These include:
Scrambled[]
Scrambled involves Ramsay cooking an egg dish, including but not limited to, scrambled eggs, often with fellow chefs or celebrity guests. A sub-series, Scrambled: On The Road, features him cooking an egg dish using local ingredients from a specified location. Most of these episodes were shot during the filming of his show on National Geographic, Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted.
Ramsay in 10[]
Ramsay in 10 involves Ramsay or invited chefs challenging themselves to cook simple dishes in 10 minutes. The first iteration of the series in 2019 prominently featured Mia Castro, the runner-up of the 18th season of Hell's Kitchen. The show returned during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, which now features Ramsay himself cooking at home, accompanied by his family. It returned once again in 2021. A cookbook of the same name was also published.
Ramsay Around The World[]

Next Level Kitchen[]
Next Level Kitchen involves Ramsay and fellow judges/mentors from his TV show, Next Level Chef (Richard Blais, Nyesha Arrington and Paul Ainsworth), cooking two dishes while teaching various tips and tricks.
Idiot Sandwich[]
Idiot Sandwich is a culinary competition where three competitors race against the clock to create their unique sandwiches that will impress Ramsay, who is also the judge. In the end, the competitor with the best sandwich wins the title of "Idiot Sandwich". It was inspired by the iconic meme of the same name, which was originated from a Hell's Kitchen parody sketch on The Late Late Show with James Corden.
