00:00Hi guys, this is Gordon on Wired, tackling auto-complete.
00:06First question.
00:10Is Gordon Ramsay a Michelin star chef?
00:17I won my first star many years ago, and this year we celebrate 27 years at Royal Hustle Road
00:23and 25 years at a three star.
00:26Is Gordon Ramsay considered the best chef?
00:30In the world.
00:32That's absolute bull****.
00:34I don't think you can ever be the best, but you can be one of the best.
00:38Good question.
00:40Is Gordon Ramsay going vegan?
00:42Am I f***ed?
00:43I did go vegan once for an entire lunchtime, and it was interesting.
00:51It was very interesting.
00:52Is Gordon Ramsay good at football?
00:56I think he was.
00:58Football was an incredible release.
01:00There's a lot of synergy between running a kitchen and captaining a team.
01:04Who made Gordon Ramsay cry?
01:08This one always fascinates me.
01:10I didn't actually cry.
01:11I got upset with a situation because I f***ed up.
01:14And like in sports, like in kitchens, when you screw up, you get upset.
01:21But there's multiple people who made me cry.
01:23My kids make me cry.
01:24My mum makes me cry.
01:25My bulldog, when he s***s all over the carpet, makes me cry.
01:28Who inspired Gordon Ramsay to cook?
01:33The biggest inspiration at the beginning was my mum.
01:35Growing up and watching my mum handle three jobs.
01:38I would go and visit her at the restaurant on weekends and help her prep, peel all the
01:43onions, carrots, potatoes to help get her home a bit earlier.
01:47Who is Gordon Ramsay's favourite chef?
01:51It's like saying, who's your favourite child?
01:53Oh God, that's so hard.
01:55I'm going to say my favourite chef is a toss-up between Claire Smith, Angela Hartnett and Guy Savoie.
02:03Did Gordon Ramsay invent beef Wellington?
02:08Absolutely not.
02:09It was forgotten about.
02:10It was sort of almost like the Sleeping Beauty of dishes.
02:15So we revived it back in 2001 at Clarities.
02:17And ever since then, it has gone crazy.
02:20Did Gordon Ramsay jump out of a helicopter at multiple times?
02:24Repelled out of a helicopter, hung from a helicopter and jumped out of a helicopter.
02:29Can Gordon Ramsay handle spice?
02:33Of course I can.
02:34This palette is an educated palette that loves spice.
02:40Can Gordon Ramsay cook grilled cheese as well?
02:45This thing always comes back to bite me on the arse every year.
02:48Can he do a grilled cheese?
02:50Can he get the pool of cheese?
02:51Yes I can, finally.
02:53Being in New Zealand and up against it time-wise, I thought the cheese had melted but it hadn't.
02:59Now I can perfect a grilled cheese, I promise you.
03:02Here we go.
03:03Can Gordon Ramsay bake?
03:05Absolutely.
03:06Absolutely.
03:07I'll tell you why.
03:08My first job in Paris, I worked at the restaurant Guy Savoie in the middle of Paris in the 17th and I'm really small.
03:16And my first job was downstairs in the pastry.
03:18And then in London, before going to Paris, I also worked as a baker at Le Garoche.
03:24So yes, I can bake.
03:26Boom.
03:27Does Gordon Ramsay drink coffee?
03:33I love coffee.
03:34I love coffee.
03:35First thing in the morning, I'll start off the day after a session in the gym and I'll get a black coffee and a croissant.
03:40And then throughout the day, I'll have a flat white, potentially with oat milk or skim milk.
03:46Does Gordon Ramsay like pineapple on a pizza?
03:51No, I do not.
03:52I did my first Ironman in Hawaii and at the end of this finishing line, some incredible young chef had cooked me a pizza and I was about to take a bite of it and I spotted the pineapple.
04:03So I sort of, I dodged the pineapple and devoured the pizza.
04:08Good question.
04:09Does Gordon Ramsay ever use a microwave?
04:14Tilly recently just graduated from university, one of our daughters, and the microwave was a staple in this apartment.
04:22So I think they're good for reheating things.
04:25Couscous, for instance, is really good for 30 seconds to reheat in a microwave.
04:30But to sort of cook and eat from a microwave, no.
04:34But reheating, 100% yes.
04:37Does Gordon Ramsay call people doughnuts?
04:41People ask me that all the time.
04:43I call them doughnuts because they're clumsy.
04:45Have you ever tried eating a doughnut without licking your lips?
04:48It's a very clumsy thing to try and eat and devour.
04:51So yeah, I have called many people f*** doughnuts.
04:56Next, what does Gordon Ramsay think of the bear?
05:01The bear is incredible.
05:02Gives a proper insight to the nitty gritty, sort of f***y side to the industry.
05:08The pressure that these chefs face, but most importantly, the sort of, the level of determination that goes on in the kitchen.
05:14What are Gordon Ramsay's world records?
05:19That's a really good question.
05:21When we first started launching the F word, we used to come up with challenges that would inspire winning Guinness world records.
05:31I think I've lost quite a few of them now because clearly challenged.
