Vegetarian Star

Gordon Ramsay has just completed his tour of India, where he filmed his reality TV series Gordon’s Great Escape.

As previously reported, Gordon’s Great Escape features Ramsay cooking and enjoying mostly vegetarian food in Indian culture.

Uh-oh.

The same Gordon Ramsay who joked about electrocuting his children on a fence if they turned vegetarian or dated one?

Yes, the same Gordon Ramsay who stated, “There’s no bigger pain anywhere in the world than a vegetarian.”

Ramsay is reportedly a fan of pescatarian Indian food-seafood curry.

Let’s hope the tour made him a lover of veggie samosas and lentil dhal too.

Gordon’s Great Escape will air on UK’s Channel 4 early next year.

“There’s no bigger pain anywhere in the world than a vegetarian”

—Gordon Ramsay, on a recent episode of Hell’s Kitchen where the contestants had to make vegetarian dishes for 80 school children.

Ramsay can’t make up his mind. First, he’d rather electrocute his kids than see them go veg. Then claims his beef (pun intended) was never with vegetarians, just the chefs who didn’t know how to cook for them. At present, vegetarians are pains in the arses. More updates to come.

Celebrity chef Bobby Flay sat down to talk nothing but burgers to Theday.com.

The king of the grill, unlike some celebrity chefs (cough, cough Gordon Ramsay) who have made jokes about electrocuting their children if they ever became vegetarian, acknowledges vegetarian dishes have importance in a restaurant.

Just don’t ask him to eat a veggie burger with you at dinner.

“I’m not interested,” Flay said, when asked what his feelings were on veggie burgers at Bobby’s Burger Palace, a new restaurant he’s opened.

“And I say that only because I’ve never had a veggie burger that I really liked. I’m very sensitive to vegetarians’ needs; I deal with it every day of my life. I think it’s a very, very important part of cuisine these days. It’s challenging to create creative vegetarian meals. That’s something we do at the other restaurants. But a veggie burger, I think it’s something I have not found that I can do well, so I’m not going to do it. I don’t want to serve something that’s subpar. ”

Well, thanks for the consideration Bobby and we’re happy you realize we’re important. But why leave something off the menu because you don’t like it? Isn’t it about the customer?

Many, if not most restaurants that serve burgers will have a vegetarian option available, even if it’s just a frozen patty they “customize” by putting their own fixings on it.

Bobby should bring in his own little focus group of veg heads, whip up a few creations, and let them decide what meatless patty should be on the Burger Palace menu.

Summer’s almost here. The sunny season marks lots of sunscreen, thongs, lemonade, and the F word. Uh, Gordon Ramsay’s F Word, that is.

The celebrity chef’s show, The F Word, follows Ramsay as he prepares three course meals at his F Word restaurant.

Rest assured Gordon will be doing much of his usual species slaughter during the show, including catching wild hogs and puffin, but at least one member of his celebrity cast moves away from the meat madness, if only for one episode.

Singer and TV personality Dannii Minogue whips up a lovely vegetarian risotto on episode 6, which is set to air on July 22nd at 9:00PM on UK Channel 4.

Gordon  may be open to the vegetarian dish, given the fact he’s expanding his horizons lately, agreeing to partake in a Reality TV show based entirely on creating plant based dishes.  Or he may critique it with his usual diatribe of profanities.

You’ll have to tune in and find out! Visit monstersandcritics.com for sneak previews of other F Word episodes.

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.

“We have vegetarian menus in all our restaurants, my gripe was never against the vegetarians, I was just trying to move things on a bit and become a little bit more exciting with veg. My frustration years ago was against chefs, how they don’t cook for vegetarians.”

—-Gordon Ramsay, celebrity chef who must be the veg Jekyll/Hyde. He became furious at his chefs on Hell’s Kitchen when they accidentally put chicken broth in a vegetarian risotto. He once joked he’d put his children on a fence and electrocute them if they said they were turning vegetarian. Now this statement. What gives? Is this the veg happy dance he’s doing here?
