Apparently Gordon Ramsay has been ‘caught’ by the British press in LA scarfing down fast food hamburgers. Good for him. Probably the most annoying thing about the recent popularity of celebrity chefs and general interest in preparing quality food are the quasi-chefs/food snobs who would have you believe that you have no idea what good food is unless you prepare dishes (usually French, small portioned and boring) using ingredients that no one else has ever heard of. Truth of the matter is I’ve known a number of 3 and 4 star chefs who can hardly wait to hit the local Krusty Burger on the way home from the kitchen. We call these ‘real people’ in this neck of the woods and its good to know that Gordon Ramsey for all his showmanship and faux arrogance put on for TV is really one of us.

Besides its not really news since Gordon has ‘come out’ of the closet more than once professing his love for some (In and Out) fast food burgers. If you’ve never seen Ramsay other than in his American TV shows (where he’s always yelling at someone) he’s quite funny and entertaining. There was a great clip of him with Jay Leno on YouTube where he ‘admitted’ to loving American fast food burgers but I can’t seem to find it any more. If I find it later I’ll be sure to post it.
