Gordon Ramsay Going Vegetarian For Great Escape To India
Written by Vegetarian Star on May 10th, 2009 in Chefs.
We joked around on April Fool’s day when we announced the Hell’s Kitchen star Gordon Ramsay had went vegetarian after accidentally electrocuting himself. But this time, it’s for real, if only temporary.
Ramsay has signed up for a vegetarian tour of India and his experiences will be shown as a reality TV show, Gordon’s Great Escape, on UK Channel 4.
From Uknetguide.co.uk:
“Since coming to prominence in the TV guides, the chef has never shied away from criticising vegetarianism, with non meat-eaters having borne the brunt of his sharp tongue on more than one occasion.”
“As such, it’s hardly a surprise that producers have decided it would be a good idea to see how the committed carnivore gets on when deprived of his regular meaty fixes, with the forthcoming show ‘Gordon’s Great Escape’ set to follow Ramsay as he embarks on a vegetarian exploration of India.”
How will Gordon get along without his “meaty” fix? Will it make him even more aggressive and hostile towards vegetarians upon his return? Or will he gain an appreciation of diet, after experiencing the spices and flavors that can be combined to create a palatable, meat-free dish?
The show could only get more entertaining if vegan hating Anthony Bourdain tagged along.

Ramsay doing a vegetarian tour. Amazing! He did a show on a local mostly vegetarian restaurant, Sante La Brea. They’ve changed their menu with his help. I’m not sure they’re rocking with people though.

Oh, he is going to flip! I wonder how long the series will last. But don’t get too excited about him going complete veg, though. I’m sure he’ll have some meat when the cameras are off. He just has to do it veg for the show. Still, I’m sure it’s quietly ticking him off to no end. And yes, Bourdain is the next chef who should do this. 🙂
