Gordon Ramsay Is Horrified By TikTok's Taki Steak
Foul-mouthed celebrity chef, television host, writer, and restaurateur Gordon Ramsay is a certified icon. Host and judge of legendary, high-stakes cooking competitions like "Hell's Kitchen," "Master Chef," and "Kitchen Nightmares," Ramsay is the overlord of competitive cooking. Known for his frequent F-bomb dropping and ruthless on-screen criticisms, the hot-headed chef brought his temper to TikTok back in 2020. Since then, the chef has amassed a cool 35.6 million followers and a cumulative 566.6 million likes on the video-sharing social media platform.
From cooking tips and kitchen hacks to throwback clips, Ramsay's most viral installment on TikTok is his self-titled #RamsayReacts series where he reacts to other creators' outlandish cooking. To no one's surprise, he's rarely satisfied. In a video, Ramsay reacted to a TikTok chef who cooked a steak covered in Blue Heat Takis and it's safe to say he was less than thrilled with the result — go figure.
Ramsay called the Taki steak 'tacky'
There's nothing wrong with adding a little texture to a steak — a panko-crusted filet sounds heavenly. According to Gordon Ramsay, however, blue Taki-crusted steak is just tacky. In the viral video, Ramsay duets viral creator @Andyslife247 whose culinary repertoire is riddled with colorful, over-the-top, sugar-packed recipes. Although Andy has over 2 million followers, the creator's dishes aren't exactly Gordon Ramsay-approved.
The video follows Andy as he grills a steak on a cast iron skillet in what Ramsay seems to think is far too much butter. Ramsay goes on to call the recipe "disgusting" and condemns its blue complexion by begging the creator to stop and barking out "NO!"
However, Ramsay's disapproving reaction didn't stop Andy from garnering 103,000 likes on the original video. And although it's not up to Gordon Ramsay's standards, the blue Taki steak would fit right into a Dr. Seuss story. To each their own!
