Feel the heat from Gordon in his kitchen ...
WHAT’S eating Gordon Ramsay? The chef is already known for his fiery temper in the kitchen but now he’s taking a leaf out of fellow blond Donald Trump’s cookbook by unleashing his ire online, in a long-running series of vicious tweets of culinary critiques.
It all started fairly innocently. Last week, Ramsay responded to a few images of home-cooked meals from fans. “Looks great,” he said of a chocolate tart. He repeated the sentiment with a beef Wellington. But then he got bored of playing nice. “Was someone sick on your plate?” he asked one fan who asked for feedback on a fish-finger sandwich. “I made some cookies, how do they look?” another enquired. “Basic,” Ramsay responded. “They look like camel hoofs...” he says of some empanadas. “Your rice looks older than me,” he says as he ridicules a curry dish.

Ramsay may be advised to pause for thought, though. Early this morning someone asked what he thought of last night’s dinner. “Did it just come back up?” he retorted. And a simple, if questionable, plate of cheese and egg mayonnaise on toast? “Looks like the inside of my grandad’s colostomy bag.”
Don’t hold back now, Gordon.
he asks. A voice comes out of the heavens. ‘Son, let go of the branch.’ The man swings a moment more... Then shouts: ‘Is there anyone else up there?’ There isn’t anyone else up there,” adds Finkelstein. “We will have to let go of the branch.”
