So you're saying I could have two scottish eggs, the butternut squash risotto, and an STP for less than the price of THREE chicken sandwiches at johnny rockets?!?!
Scotch* Not Scottish. They were actually invented in England and the word Scotch is used to mean something else. I've never heard anyone in the UK call anything Scottish 'Scotch', that's an American thing.
I was one of the contestants on MasterChef, one of the early seasons, and I have to say, Gordon Ramsay is really nice. He is one of the sweetest, kindest men I’ve ever met… when the cameras are off. When the cameras go on he switches personality. And if he goes too far, he reminds us once the cameras are off that it’s just a character he plays. It’s one thing to enjoy the character, just remember the man himself is really nowhere near as cruel as he is shown on TV
I feel like seeing him in his kids cooking shows is the most realistic version of him most of the public will see. He's incredibly kind, he just has high standards, especially for people who SHOULD know what they're doing (ie professional adult chefs)
Seeing his interactions with kids and when he's not on one of his shows, I always thought he actually seemed like a really nice person outside of the camera persona.
Sha can't just keep shading them without risking getting a strongly worded letter (read Cease and Desist, bc they're very trendy rn for some reason), so she trusted the comment section to deliver
When I was 11, I posted my birthday cake on twitter and tagged him. It had a sparkler in it and he said "no wonder you set it on fire" and I haven't recovered.
Gordon is actually a nice guy. He will talk to fans for a long time, and is genuinely approachable. Anyone who has ever been on MasterChef or any of his shows also confirm he’s a sweetheart. He only screams and yells because in America that persona got more views. So the networks had him lean fully into it and used editing to make him look explosive. One of my favorite stories is that he was once visiting a jail to see how inmates use the kitchen. This one inmate actually impressed him so he promised him that if he got his act together - he would sponsor him once he got out jail. Years later he completed his jail sentence and Gordon put him through chef school. He also personally trained him and then had the inmate work in his restaurants. The inmate is now the head chef in one of Gordon’s 5 star restaurants and his life has completely changed.
He's a big fan of fostering talent. There were two MasterChef contestants that he personally paid tuition for so that they could go to culinary school. Another big reason why he yells is because he is frustrated at these people who claim to have talent and then show that they don't have the skills to back up the ego
This isn’t completely true. Gordon confirmed in an AMA that the guy you’re talking about reoffended a few days after his release and went back to prison. Gordon offered a couple other prisoners jobs but they’ve never become the head chef at one of his restaurants.
@@deidrebetts2936yeah, I’m sure that connects to the idea that he’s been in the industry for such a long time that he has high standards for people who claim expert status and he pretty much wants them to back it up by putting out good food. But from what I’ve heard, he’s really kind to people just starting out with cooking.
This is confirmed if you ever watch the British versions of his reality TV shows like Kitchen Nightmares. He's SOOOO toned down compared to the American equivalent. Like, he'll dole out some harsh words if things get really bad but he almost never yells and he always backs those words up with positive reaffirmation of what they're doing right. It's a far more genuine experience and I'll always have a hard time watching the American versions because it FEELS like an act for the sake of bombastic American television.
I don't even like Safiya and Tyler. But I watch every single episode because our differently abled and handy capable citizens also need to get out every once in a while. Thanks for another!
Am I British? Yes. Have I ever watched even a second of Gordon Ramsay on television? No. Will I watch 36 minutes of Safiya and Tyler eating his food? Absobloodylutely.
It's good television! If you can't be arsed to watch full episodes, at least look up the compilations of his best moments while trying to revive dying restaurants and judging their food. The clips of him actually liking the food are more rare and far between, but that just makes them all the more special. The clip of him eating the food at "Momma Cherri's Soul Food Shack" is still as magical as it was the first time I saw it, I'm still sad they closed down soon after he visited. Couldn't keep the place open, but she did start a youtube cooking channel and seems to be doing fine.
If you want to watch some kitchen nightmares I'd recommend watching the British version over the American. It's less overdramatic and is more interesting I find
i really recommend the US kitchen nightmare episodes as a fellow Brit! they’re all free on youtube and they are so hilarious seeing him react to some of the craziest and worst restaurant owners ever LOL
What I love about Gordon is that he ONLY yells at chefs, not those who are learning. Let me explain On the shows he’s working with chefs/restaurant owners, and those who are looking to win a stint in one of his restaurants, he has HIGH expectations of them, and he holds them to those standards (they also know what they’re signing up for, and some of it IS done up for the production of it all) However, on his kid shows, or shows with home cooks/regular people who aren’t chefs, he’s kind, he’s patient, and he’s willing to slow down, show them what they need to do, or ask how he can help. He has a lot of empathy, and he does show it!
MasterChef Jr abruptly became the best cooking tv show and probably the best reality tv show being broadcast, specifically because it had to be less mean and cutthroat and "drama on purpose" because these were kids and Gordon wouldn't let the producers or anyone get away with abusing or manipulating them like is done to many reality tv show guests. even the original MasterChef is no exception to that rule, but Jr is so damn wholesome and sweet
@@solitarelee6200agreed!! my mom, sister and I have watched every season over a 10 times. to a point where my 1 yr old learned to say “wow” (with a slight british accent) bc of how often he says wow on that show lol
Even on the shows with adults in a professional setting, from what I've seen he's decent to anyone who's honest about their abilities and take accountability for mistakes. He mostly flips out on people with uppity attitudes, or who try to BS him through lying or hiding stuff.
you guys laughed when tyler said "thats journalism!" but hes right!!! just because the topics can be "silly" doesnt mean it isnt real high quality video journalism ❤
I think part of it is the psychology of your mother's cooking, theres just nothing like it. The other thing is, Ramsey did a video with his son once and at one poiny he made scrambles eggs, and in the video you see Ramsey adding all this stuff and being just a generally amazing cook...and his son was like "I mean yeah this is good, but its a lot. Like sometimes you just want a regular scrambled egg" 🤣🤣🤣 So i think he can be a bit over complicated sometimes based off that @sadnessofwildgoats
HELLO FRIENDS!! i know it's been a few weeks, but i've been in wellington recovery 🍖we've got a lot of great content cooking up for you guys, as we just got back from a content trip to LA, Singapore, and Malaysia - but we're kicking it off with a gordon fest!! hope you guys enjoy this video, i gotta go get a sticky toffee pudding asap 🏃🏻♀xoxo, saf
saffiya talking about fish and chips and battered sausage like how i would imagine an alien reviewing a chip shop is honestly incredible to see, glad to know gordon is on the curry sauce agenda
honestly i didn't realise how entertaining it would be seeing americans try fish and chips for the first time :') i wonder how gordon's boujee version compares to regular chippies
I’ve met him, he came to my culinary arts school when I was 19. He’s actually really nice, at least he was to us. I think the yelling is mainly when he’s working in the kitchen and for TV. He was a really interesting speaker, and was very nice about the clear and obvious daddy issues crush I was failing to hide from EVERYONE lol.
@@tonytonychopperrrr I can’t remember tbh this was 10 years ago now, but I do remember that I was blushing the entire time, and in hindsight it was soooo clear I was crushing hard.
Am I a human who will 1) never go to Vegas (disabled, too hot!), 2) never eat at a Gordon restaurant (too expensive!), and 3) still watch this twice in 21 hours? Yes! Love ya, Safiya and Tyler! I am so happy to see the world through your eyes. 💕 Thank you so much, really.
It's not a cultural thing I don't think, I'm American and can assure you that fish and chips are all over the US. I was also shocked they'd never had it before, it's right up there with chicken fingers as a kid's meal classic in my mind.
Im from the Midwest USA and here in Wisconsin a Friday Fish Fry is incredibly common so it feels a bit odd to me too! Though our cod is usually beer battered, and other fish like perch is breaded.
My favorite show/event Gordon Ramsey has ever done was helping out the prison systems (Gordon Behind Bars). He taught them culinary skills while serving time, and similar opportunities are now becoming more common with high rates of success and lessened re-offenders.. he was also really nice. Though the show itself isn’t the “best” it is my favorite of his help towards community.
because being "nice" doesn't excuse being abusive. i love the shows and appreciate his character but there's no way i'd put up with someone like that in my actual life. screaming and berating someone is just really unnecessary and actually hinders the teaching process and i can only hope he's less violent with kids and reserves this "i hate you because i care" bit for adults he's mentoring. i'm guessing there's a lotta folks out there with PTSD that can't stomach watching his shows due to how he behaves.
@@SurprisedPikacheesecaketrue its ridicoulus and he may be a good cook and maybe fun to watch from faaaaaarrrrrr away but he doesnt seem to care about/understand pedagogy at all
@@SurprisedPikacheesecake if you watch his restaurant saving show, i forget the specific name of it, he's stern, but not cruel, remember, its a reality tv show, only so much of it is how he actually behaves and isn't faked for camera
@@SurprisedPikacheesecakeit's actually a fairly well known fact that he's exceedingly nice to kids. Both his own kids and the kids on mastee chef junior. He also never screams at service workers. While he does loudly and rudely screams at people in his shows, it is only ever at adults who a) signed up to be on his show fully knowing what he's like or b) are sometimes on massive ego trips that sometimes literally endanger customers due to their poor cooking practices. He's basically always very nice to the service staff and reserves his ire for people who mostly genuinly deserve it and also heavily plays it up for the camera. If you're interested in what I mean, there's a genuinly fantastic series he did, where he taught a bunch of prison inmates how to cook and established a bakery where inmates could earn money while still in prison and have future career prospects after they were released. At the time I watched it several years ago the prison bakery had been successfully running for several years at that point. Though no idea if it's still going on.
Fun fact: In Britain it's rare to find a chippy that actually uses vinegar. They use "Non-brewed Condiment" which is a really cheap alternative that's basically vinegar but made out of chemicals, rather than fermentation. They're technically not allowed to advertise it as vinegar, but nobody cares.
Didn't Tom Scott or someone do a video on the "vinegar" at chippies and said that people actually prefer the fake vinegar over real vinegar for like nostalgia
@@jade-67 Real vinegar requires a whole fermentation process that takes time. It's just much quicker to mix a few chemicals together to make a condiment that tastes literally the same.
Fun fact: Both fish and chips and tempura was introduced by Portuguese people to the UK and Japan respectively. So I'm not surprised you say the fish kinda seems like tempura. Cod is such a staple food in Portugal!
VIDEO IDEA: To find out how the eateries from Kitchen Nightmares and/or Hotel Hell are doing these days and whether they have improved or remained awful, you should try to visit them.
VIDEO IDEA: You should try to go to the restaurants that were featured in Kitchen Nightmares and/or Hotel Hell to see how they're doing now and if they actually became good or still bad
Chicken tikka masala is intentionally mild as it was created to suit the palate of post-war Britain. Here it’s basically an entry-level curry that eases us into Indian flavours. Most people will eventually get adventurous and try something more authentic.
@@cilstr but the tikka masala was the training curry that got us from bland post-war food to where we are now. People who had never eaten anything with such intense flavours weren’t going to jump straight to spicy foods without the gradual introduction that was stuff like that.
I went to a legit Pakistani café, foolishly bought a chikken tikka wrap, and was met with cream enough to call it butter chicken 😂 was super tasty, and zero heat
I've always loved Gordon I think because my introduction to him was on the UK version of Kitchen Nightmares. He was only getting mad at people not following his advice or being legitimately unsafe in the kitchen. It really does seem to be a character he plays. His travel show, Uncharted is delightful because he's often humbled as he cooks for chefs in their own element. He has such respect for food and the art of cooking which can get overwhelmed admittedly, by watching the vein pulse in his forehead and the copious amounts of bleeping. Thank you so much for this review! As a Gordon fan and someone who gets to go to Vegas every few years, this and the other Vegas videos are legitimately very helpful when choosing where to splurge.
10:55 idk why y'all said as as if it's a joke, this absolutely is an investigative channel and most traditional so-called journalists could learn SO much from your method, thoroughness, truthfulness, and clear distinction between objectivity and personal opinion, not even to mention how to combine information and entertainment.
So, fun fact- all burgers *need* to be well done. A steak can be pretty much raw, because all the bacteria sits on the outside of the meat. You give it a quick scorch on each side, kill anything on its surface, and it's good to go. Burgers are ground, which means that the bacteria is spread all throughout the meat and it needs to be cooked all the way through. "Medium rare" burgers just put you at risk of salmonella and e. coli.
Lots of Brit input already but here’s mine: Fish and chips is classically served covered in salt and vinegar (or imitation vinegar), with mushy peas, curry sauce or maybe gravy on the side - or tipped straight over the top. I prefer lemon to vinegar and most people think I’m weird. Battered sausage is not a ‘banger’. On paper that should make sense but it just doesn’t. Pigs in blankets are bacon wrapped, not pastry wrapped, I’ve never seen that before. Sausage meat wrapped in pastry is a sausage roll. British soups do not have the French onion soup cheese thing going on, but Stilton and broccoli soup is a fairly common menu item. Chicken tikka masala was designed for the 1960s British pallet, so it’s not spicy, especially when compared to most curries. STP is excellent but should be served with custard. Scotch egg is usually made with a chicken egg, so it’s bigger and more satisfying. Served hot or cold. That said, I’m impressed with the research and knowledge and the commitment to trying the classics, it seems British food gets an unfair shake.
American pigs in a blanket are pastry wrapped so the ones they tried are more like the american version using British sausage. Most Americans will have had them made of hot dogs wrapped in premade croissant dough that comes in a cardboard tube.
@@Danielalocasia Ah ok that makes more sense. It seems a bit weird to me to use the American name given the theme of the restaurant but I guess most customers will be more accustomed to American English.
“Banger in the mouth” is a reference to a tv show called Arrested Development where a character goes “undercover” as a Mrs Doubtfire, but he does it poorly. He’s known to talk in accidental innuendoes that make him sound gay when he says he’s straight. All the other characters in the show know he’s wrong but don’t mention it for reasons. Thanks for explaining all of this, love the insight! 😊
The fish and chips is definitely closer to the American version too. Re the no gravy or peas. But yes like the other person said pigs in blankets are pastry wrapped in the USA. I’m not sure how someone would react to getting a sausage wrapped in bacon when they ordered pigs in blankets, but they would definitely be confused bc it wouldn’t be what they thought they ordered. Gordon just subbed out the typical type of sausage in the middle for a British type of sausage.
So just some clarification from a Brit here: fish & chips - you would usually put malt vinegar & salt on the chips, and often tartar sauce with fish (it’s a sort of mayo-y sauce with capers). A lot of fish & chip shops exist all over the UK and is like the ideal Friday night takeaway for people to get! There’s always a lot of battered foods and fluffy chips and they’re SO good.
All the things you've eaten and worn and made since the start of this channel, and I've never been more shocked than hearing that neither of you had ever had fish & chips before 😂😂
In reference to the "none spicy Chicken Tika".... remember it was a dish invented within the UK for British people's tastes. It's not supposed to be spicy. If anything, it was created to give the taste of indian spicy food, but without the spicy heat!.
This! I came to check if anyone commented this. Korma/tikka masala for mild curries and you wanna look at madras/vindaloo/phall for more spicy flavours
@@DaniiMarsh yeah I'm a bit surprised Saf didn't know this. I guess Americans might not know. A curry doesn't have to be spicy to be authentic just because that's what you like
I had the pleasure of meeting safiya and Tyler in A small Whole Foods in PA. Because of my surprise and excitement I was kind of at a lost for words. I wanted to talk to Safiya but I was just so shy…my one regreat. For all of her followers and subscribers I can attest that she is a lovely and kind person. I am happy to support good people with good content! Thank you again for your kindness! ❤
Only Safiya and Tyler can give a thoroughly journalistic tour of Vegas restaurants (up one side of the Strip, down the other side of the Strip, to Gordon's restaurants, etc...) and make it fully entertaining AND genuinely informative. It's quite a skill, to be honest! Thank you for sharing, you two! 😊
The reason the Wellingtons have different prices is because of the differences between restaurants. The location / building maintenance may cost more, the restaurant may be less frequented (hells kitchen makes sense to have the most visitors daily), and other items on the menu may be more expensive to buy and produce! 😀 it also might not sell as well, but it takes a lot of time to produce, which ups the price.
Gordon Ramsay is a bigger legend than just a chef in Scotland 🏴. He started of as a football/soccer player for the Scottish Premier League team known as Glasgow Rangers but after a knee injury on the pitch he was told he wouldn’t play professionally again and so he switched careers to being a chef.. He also has a knighthood so it’s technically Sir Gordon Ramsay these days 😂😂
too bad you didnt mention the best ramsay series he ever made: gordons great escape, where he travels around east asia to find the best food in the area and learns it. he is the nicest human in this series and so in awe of all the people he meets and cherrish them. i really fell in love with him at that more than in any other of his shows.
for how popular you both are and you could just demand things for free in exchange for content, i appreciate so much how humble and modest you both are and that you look to pay for everything yourselves, not make a scene, and just truly make content you like
Anyone else shocked that Safiya and Tyler have never eaten fish and chips before? I feel like fried fish is such a staple across a lot of different geographies (Northeast, South, West Coast)!
Regarding the chicken tikka masala: its not meant to be spicy, its what you order when the spiciest thing you can eat is black pepper. British asian food and actual Asian food are very different. As a british asian - i love both!
Gordon Ramsay 's restaurants should all have a secret item, "Idiot Sandwich" and the waiter has to hold bread on your head if you order it. I would definitely do it.
fish and chips are best I think with tartar sauce, curry sauce, salt and vinegar, or gravy especially in the north of england! great to see you try some as its such a comfort meal for me
I love how Safiya was saying she’s a sociopath because she likes her burgers well done- while here in Canada they’re all well done😭 we don’t choose how cooked it is, it’s just fully cooked💀
Yeah, I found this a bit strange too haha. I live in the US and well done is the default - you're not really supposed to eat anything under well done when it comes to ground beef (food safety) unlike with steak.
There are areas, where you don't eat it medium well or well done apparently. Learned that the "hard" way as a 13-year-old somewhere on the road during a family vaccation in France. Back then I ordered a ground beef steak (it was like a burger patty) and even though I asked them to make it well done (because we've heard before that they prefer it rather bloody in this area), it was still pink to even reddish inside. Still ate it, but left the red parts out😅 Also just googled a bit, eating ground beef well done (esp. with bought ground meat and burger patties) is often done for food safety reasons. Yet in a restaurant like Gordon's, where they probably ground the beef themselves, you can eat your burger medium rare or rare as well. Maybe it's common in finer dining, but I don't know about that😅
@@eriamelrrow6195 The difference there is "ground beef" vs "ground beef steak". Ground beef bought at a store is usually like leftover meats ground down into a mix. So you cook it well done since certain cuts of meat aren't good to eat less than that. If you're ordering "ground beef steak" burgers then it's fine because that's essentially a steak ground up and made into a patty. So you can eat it less than well done. Either way, a lot of people still prefer the burgers well done because of texture.
I agree with saf, well done burgers are good. If the meat is freshly ground you can cook it medium rare because steak before it's ground, bacteria can't penetrate the skin, but after you grind it, it breaks that barrier and invites bacteria and becomes a breeding ground. That being said, i have never cooked frozen burgers anything less than well done and they have been good. Well done doesn't mean burnt or dry, it really all depends on how you cook it. I sear my burgers and then baste it like a steak with butter/bbq sauce to cook it through. Never dry, never burned.
It’s 1:35 AM in India, and I was just about to sleep but got so excited to see the notification of yours video Safiya. I love you guys. I pretty much have watched all your videos twice or even thrice and even shown your wedding video to my husband. He keeps telling you look like some famous actress. I always wait for your videos. ❤❤❤❤ I really would love to meet you someday. You’re my favorite. Lots of love ❤
Chicken tikka is mild. It was created for the more traditional british pallete where often people thought black pepper or garlic was too strong (not now). Even milder is the korma. On the other end of the scale, vindaloo was made for drunkards to challenge each other to have (as its supposed to be extremely spicy) after they roll out of the pub.
Everyone knows him as the mean guy, but if you actually watch his shows you understand that his high standards are backed with experience and dignity for the work he's putting out and respect for customers paying for an experience, and every customer deserving the best experience. He knows how to fix interpersonal relationships in family businesses and gets people talking to each other again. He has a lot of heart, good taste, and respect for others, let alone himself. I think that's why I love gordon so much. Out of all celebrity chefs he by far has the most heart and hasn't gotten out of touch with the public.
To be honest I'm not a fan of the mean persona but I do really like him and the reason is because I watched his shows with the young child chefs, who were really talented for their age and some of them talented even compared to adult chefs! With the kids he's great. I'm also now interested on seeing if there's a show about him teaching interested prisoners to cook, is that exists as a show. I wouldn't have known about that except for the comments here 😂
Safiya, you are not a sociopath for liking your burgers well done. I'm Canadian and it is law in Ontario (where I'm from) that all burgers need to be cooked at 71°C or 160°F for order. It's the norm here. I was shocked when I went down to the states and was asked how I wanted my burger cooked.
The puree under the scallops with what’s in season in peak of the season. Cauliflower is in its peak during the late summer while peas are in season in spring.
Honestly, I think my favorite part of the video was the 90 seconds running down how Ramsay became a celebrity chef in the first place. I didn't know the stuff about Aubergine and then Channel 4 chronicled his first restaurant snowballing into a media and culinary empire.
@@alisahall8348what? Are you living in an alternate universe? It’s on the menu at almost every casual seafood restaurant in coastal towns all over the USA. Both coasts and on the Great Lakes. I’m not sure I have ever been to a small local seafood/diner restaurant in a seaside town on the US west coast that DIDN’T have fish n’ chips on the menu.
Because fish and fries in the states is disgusting. As an American living in the UK, I hated any fish dish in the US. I had fish and chips when I moved here and I was very sceptical based on my previous experience. I love fish here and eat fish and chips at least once a week now.
Fish and chips used to be considered a working class treat back in the 70s/80s, cos there weren't many takeaway options and it was cheap. Now, it's kinda pricey. My local chippy charges £14.79 for fish, chips, and mushy peas or a sauce, which is about $19. Oh, and back in the day, fish and chips used to be served/wrapped in pages from unsold newspapers, which is why there were newspapers as part of the decor at Ramsay's place. Kinda gross really, but that was outlawed years ago.
As a Canadian who recoils at the idea of a medium cooked burger...you are definitely not a sociopath for liking them well done! Ground beef is meant to be cooked.
Beef that's ground from high-quality, well-maintained whole cuts is safe for healthy adults to eat medium in burgers. I wouldn't risk it everywhere but somewhere like a Ramsey restaurant can do it safely (and I'm in the UK where it's not legally possible to do).
same im american but i grew up with well done meat, if i see or taste even the slightest hint of raw i cant eat it, i dont understand why so many people here like pink in their beef its disgusting
With all the drama on TH-cam RN it’s always nice to watch your channel, is refreshing and calming. Love you guys always bringing such great relaxing content ❤
I'm pretty sure there's an interview where Gordon Ramsey says he only shouts and gets angry because people who claim to know what they're doing mess up so badly on basic things which is why he's angriest on kitchen/hotel nightmares, occasionally angry on Masterchef and never angry on the kids version.
As a Brit, and a big Safiya & Tyler fan, I found myself getting anxious when they got to the fish and chips…. I had no reason to be nervous. Perfect notes. Malt vinegar is great, but curry sauce is where it’s at, battered cod the best, battered sausage - always risky. Thank god we’re still friends in my imagination.
Well done Safiya ! Where was my invite ???
😦
No way!! This could have been an awesome ft ❤️
I would LOVE to see Gordon in Saf and Tyler’s kitchen!!

I was one of the contestants on MasterChef, one of the early seasons, and I have to say, Gordon Ramsay is really nice. He is one of the sweetest, kindest men I’ve ever met… when the cameras are off. When the cameras go on he switches personality. And if he goes too far, he reminds us once the cameras are off that it’s just a character he plays. It’s one thing to enjoy the character, just remember the man himself is really nowhere near as cruel as he is shown on TV

@@Hannahthespringerspanelit’s a joke
Gordon is actually a nice guy. He will talk to fans for a long time, and is genuinely approachable. Anyone who has ever been on MasterChef or any of his shows also confirm he’s a sweetheart.
He only screams and yells because in America that persona got more views. So the networks had him lean fully into it and used editing to make him look explosive.
One of my favorite stories is that he was once visiting a jail to see how inmates use the kitchen. This one inmate actually impressed him so he promised him that if he got his act together - he would sponsor him once he got out jail.
Years later he completed his jail sentence and Gordon put him through chef school. He also personally trained him and then had the inmate work in his restaurants.
The inmate is now the head chef in one of Gordon’s 5 star restaurants and his life has completely changed.
He's a big fan of fostering talent. There were two MasterChef contestants that he personally paid tuition for so that they could go to culinary school. Another big reason why he yells is because he is frustrated at these people who claim to have talent and then show that they don't have the skills to back up the ego
This isn’t completely true. Gordon confirmed in an AMA that the guy you’re talking about reoffended a few days after his release and went back to prison. Gordon offered a couple other prisoners jobs but they’ve never become the head chef at one of his restaurants.
Michelin Stars only go up to three . And he only has one 3 star Michelin restaurant
@@deidrebetts2936yeah, I’m sure that connects to the idea that he’s been in the industry for such a long time that he has high standards for people who claim expert status and he pretty much wants them to back it up by putting out good food. But from what I’ve heard, he’s really kind to people just starting out with cooking.
This is confirmed if you ever watch the British versions of his reality TV shows like Kitchen Nightmares. He's SOOOO toned down compared to the American equivalent. Like, he'll dole out some harsh words if things get really bad but he almost never yells and he always backs those words up with positive reaffirmation of what they're doing right. It's a far more genuine experience and I'll always have a hard time watching the American versions because it FEELS like an act for the sake of bombastic American television.
I don’t even like Vegas, but I watch every single episode because they’re so well-researched and fascinating. Thanks for another!
Same, I like watching safiya go to vegas.
I don't even like Safiya and Tyler. But I watch every single episode because our differently abled and handy capable citizens also need to get out every once in a while. Thanks for another!
Am I British? Yes.
Have I ever watched even a second of Gordon Ramsay on television? No.
Will I watch 36 minutes of Safiya and Tyler eating his food? Absobloodylutely.
It's good television! If you can't be arsed to watch full episodes, at least look up the compilations of his best moments while trying to revive dying restaurants and judging their food. The clips of him actually liking the food are more rare and far between, but that just makes them all the more special.
The clip of him eating the food at "Momma Cherri's Soul Food Shack" is still as magical as it was the first time I saw it, I'm still sad they closed down soon after he visited. Couldn't keep the place open, but she did start a youtube cooking channel and seems to be doing fine.
If you want to watch some kitchen nightmares I'd recommend watching the British version over the American. It's less overdramatic and is more interesting I find
same
i really recommend the US kitchen nightmare episodes as a fellow Brit! they’re all free on youtube and they are so hilarious seeing him react to some of the craziest and worst restaurant owners ever LOL
Same mate
What I love about Gordon is that he ONLY yells at chefs, not those who are learning. Let me explain
On the shows he’s working with chefs/restaurant owners, and those who are looking to win a stint in one of his restaurants, he has HIGH expectations of them, and he holds them to those standards (they also know what they’re signing up for, and some of it IS done up for the production of it all)
However, on his kid shows, or shows with home cooks/regular people who aren’t chefs, he’s kind, he’s patient, and he’s willing to slow down, show them what they need to do, or ask how he can help. He has a lot of empathy, and he does show it!
Also servers and kitchen staff, he always treat them much nicer than he does the chefs
MasterChef Jr abruptly became the best cooking tv show and probably the best reality tv show being broadcast, specifically because it had to be less mean and cutthroat and "drama on purpose" because these were kids and Gordon wouldn't let the producers or anyone get away with abusing or manipulating them like is done to many reality tv show guests. even the original MasterChef is no exception to that rule, but Jr is so damn wholesome and sweet
@@solitarelee6200agreed!! my mom, sister and I have watched every season over a 10 times. to a point where my 1 yr old learned to say “wow” (with a slight british accent) bc of how often he says wow on that show lol
Even on the shows with adults in a professional setting, from what I've seen he's decent to anyone who's honest about their abilities and take accountability for mistakes. He mostly flips out on people with uppity attitudes, or who try to BS him through lying or hiding stuff.
You haven’t seen the video of him harassing sofia vergera, have you?
you guys laughed when tyler said "thats journalism!" but hes right!!! just because the topics can be "silly" doesnt mean it isnt real high quality video journalism ❤
No, it doesn't have to mean that. But this is not journalism
My favorite Gordon Ramsey fact is that in his personal life, at home, his children prefer his wife's cooking.
I didn't know this, that's hilarious 😂
do you know why?
HAHAHA 😂
I think part of it is the psychology of your mother's cooking, theres just nothing like it.
The other thing is, Ramsey did a video with his son once and at one poiny he made scrambles eggs, and in the video you see Ramsey adding all this stuff and being just a generally amazing cook...and his son was like "I mean yeah this is good, but its a lot. Like sometimes you just want a regular scrambled egg" 🤣🤣🤣 So i think he can be a bit over complicated sometimes based off that @sadnessofwildgoats
That makes sense. Most kids like simple comfort food.

saffiya talking about fish and chips and battered sausage like how i would imagine an alien reviewing a chip shop is honestly incredible to see, glad to know gordon is on the curry sauce agenda
I know! I had a good laugh when she said they’d never had fish and chips before.
My eye twitched when she said "the fries" though, and I'm so glad they included malt vinegar!
honestly i didn't realise how entertaining it would be seeing americans try fish and chips for the first time :') i wonder how gordon's boujee version compares to regular chippies
I’m just wondering why mushy peas aren’t on the menu!!
Them just picking up the fish and dipping it like a chicken wing 😂
There's something really wholesome about Safiya and Tyler discovering the joy of fish and chips for the first time.
I agree! I was pretty pleased when she named that as one of their favorites.
As a Brit, there is no such thing as "proper Fish n' Chips protocol". Just get it down ye gullet and ye done it right.
Yes just don’t use too much vinegar, I see a lot of them do that. 😭 you just sprinkle a bit to make it taste less greasy/ cut the richness.

I’ve met him, he came to my culinary arts school when I was 19. He’s actually really nice, at least he was to us. I think the yelling is mainly when he’s working in the kitchen and for TV.

I CACKLED SO LOUD
As a Brit, you guys never having fish and chips is a culture shock, a lot of us have fish and chips every Friday, crazy!
It's not a cultural thing I don't think, I'm American and can assure you that fish and chips are all over the US. I was also shocked they'd never had it before, it's right up there with chicken fingers as a kid's meal classic in my mind.
Im from the Midwest USA and here in Wisconsin a Friday Fish Fry is incredibly common so it feels a bit odd to me too! Though our cod is usually beer battered, and other fish like perch is breaded.
My favorite show/event Gordon Ramsey has ever done was helping out the prison systems (Gordon Behind Bars). He taught them culinary skills while serving time, and similar opportunities are now becoming more common with high rates of success and lessened re-offenders.. he was also really nice.
Though the show itself isn’t the “best” it is my favorite of his help towards community.
People forget how based he is sometimes.
Oh, and your characterization of Gordon Ramsay is spot-on. He really does care a lot. A lot of people don't see or pay attention to that.
because being "nice" doesn't excuse being abusive. i love the shows and appreciate his character but there's no way i'd put up with someone like that in my actual life. screaming and berating someone is just really unnecessary and actually hinders the teaching process and i can only hope he's less violent with kids and reserves this "i hate you because i care" bit for adults he's mentoring. i'm guessing there's a lotta folks out there with PTSD that can't stomach watching his shows due to how he behaves.
@@SurprisedPikacheesecaketrue its ridicoulus and he may be a good cook and maybe fun to watch from faaaaaarrrrrr away but he doesnt seem to care about/understand pedagogy at all
@@SurprisedPikacheesecake if you watch his restaurant saving show, i forget the specific name of it, he's stern, but not cruel, remember, its a reality tv show, only so much of it is how he actually behaves and isn't faked for camera
@@SurprisedPikacheesecakeif you’ve seen any interactions with his kids, you would know he’s the best dad to them.
@@SurprisedPikacheesecakeit's actually a fairly well known fact that he's exceedingly nice to kids. Both his own kids and the kids on mastee chef junior. He also never screams at service workers. While he does loudly and rudely screams at people in his shows, it is only ever at adults who a) signed up to be on his show fully knowing what he's like or b) are sometimes on massive ego trips that sometimes literally endanger customers due to their poor cooking practices. He's basically always very nice to the service staff and reserves his ire for people who mostly genuinly deserve it and also heavily plays it up for the camera.
If you're interested in what I mean, there's a genuinly fantastic series he did, where he taught a bunch of prison inmates how to cook and established a bakery where inmates could earn money while still in prison and have future career prospects after they were released. At the time I watched it several years ago the prison bakery had been successfully running for several years at that point. Though no idea if it's still going on.
A lot of people think Gordon is from London, but he’s actually Scottish. Just a tad bit of information no one asked for.
Fun fact: In Britain it's rare to find a chippy that actually uses vinegar. They use "Non-brewed Condiment" which is a really cheap alternative that's basically vinegar but made out of chemicals, rather than fermentation. They're technically not allowed to advertise it as vinegar, but nobody cares.
Didn't Tom Scott or someone do a video on the "vinegar" at chippies and said that people actually prefer the fake vinegar over real vinegar for like nostalgia
non-brewed condiment
Curious the logic of this. Vinegar is dirt cheap in the US, is it expensive over there?
@@jade-67 Real vinegar requires a whole fermentation process that takes time. It's just much quicker to mix a few chemicals together to make a condiment that tastes literally the same.
@@finian2 interesting! Thanks!
Fun fact: Both fish and chips and tempura was introduced by Portuguese people to the UK and Japan respectively. So I'm not surprised you say the fish kinda seems like tempura. Cod is such a staple food in Portugal!
You have a very strange definition of fun
@@nettackThat's so unnecessarily rude tf

Chicken tikka masala is intentionally mild as it was created to suit the palate of post-war Britain. Here it’s basically an entry-level curry that eases us into Indian flavours. Most people will eventually get adventurous and try something more authentic.
Came here searching for this - my wife and I had an immediate reaction to the spiciness comments 😂
came here to say this too :) A lot of brits love their hot vindaloo these days eh
@@cilstr but the tikka masala was the training curry that got us from bland post-war food to where we are now. People who had never eaten anything with such intense flavours weren’t going to jump straight to spicy foods without the gradual introduction that was stuff like that.
I went to a legit Pakistani café, foolishly bought a chikken tikka wrap, and was met with cream enough to call it butter chicken 😂 was super tasty, and zero heat
I've always loved Gordon I think because my introduction to him was on the UK version of Kitchen Nightmares. He was only getting mad at people not following his advice or being legitimately unsafe in the kitchen. It really does seem to be a character he plays. His travel show, Uncharted is delightful because he's often humbled as he cooks for chefs in their own element. He has such respect for food and the art of cooking which can get overwhelmed admittedly, by watching the vein pulse in his forehead and the copious amounts of bleeping.
Thank you so much for this review! As a Gordon fan and someone who gets to go to Vegas every few years, this and the other Vegas videos are legitimately very helpful when choosing where to splurge.
Yes, I love Gordon on UK Kitchen Nightmares. Especially the way he tries to encourage young chefs. Danny from La Gondola was a highlight.
Only Safiya could make eating at six Gordon Ramsay restaurants feel like an epic culinary adventure! Now I’m craving some Beef Wellington! 🤤
10:55 idk why y'all said as as if it's a joke, this absolutely is an investigative channel and most traditional so-called journalists could learn SO much from your method, thoroughness, truthfulness, and clear distinction between objectivity and personal opinion, not even to mention how to combine information and entertainment.
Everybody else knows why it was said as a joke. Your knowledge on journalism seems to stop with Fox News.

@@laurencourtice2803 thanks, friend! Just did :-)
So, fun fact- all burgers *need* to be well done. A steak can be pretty much raw, because all the bacteria sits on the outside of the meat. You give it a quick scorch on each side, kill anything on its surface, and it's good to go. Burgers are ground, which means that the bacteria is spread all throughout the meat and it needs to be cooked all the way through. "Medium rare" burgers just put you at risk of salmonella and e. coli.
You can eat them rare, if the abattoir to plate is constantly monitored
Tyler: “Is that-is that asbestos? What are you eating???”
Absolutely cracked up laughing. 😂
Lots of Brit input already but here’s mine:
Fish and chips is classically served covered in salt and vinegar (or imitation vinegar), with mushy peas, curry sauce or maybe gravy on the side - or tipped straight over the top. I prefer lemon to vinegar and most people think I’m weird.
Battered sausage is not a ‘banger’. On paper that should make sense but it just doesn’t.
Pigs in blankets are bacon wrapped, not pastry wrapped, I’ve never seen that before. Sausage meat wrapped in pastry is a sausage roll.
British soups do not have the French onion soup cheese thing going on, but Stilton and broccoli soup is a fairly common menu item.
Chicken tikka masala was designed for the 1960s British pallet, so it’s not spicy, especially when compared to most curries.
STP is excellent but should be served with custard.
Scotch egg is usually made with a chicken egg, so it’s bigger and more satisfying. Served hot or cold.
That said, I’m impressed with the research and knowledge and the commitment to trying the classics, it seems British food gets an unfair shake.
American pigs in a blanket are pastry wrapped so the ones they tried are more like the american version using British sausage. Most Americans will have had them made of hot dogs wrapped in premade croissant dough that comes in a cardboard tube.
@@Danielalocasia Ah ok that makes more sense. It seems a bit weird to me to use the American name given the theme of the restaurant but I guess most customers will be more accustomed to American English.
“Banger in the mouth” is a reference to a tv show called Arrested Development where a character goes “undercover” as a Mrs Doubtfire, but he does it poorly. He’s known to talk in accidental innuendoes that make him sound gay when he says he’s straight. All the other characters in the show know he’s wrong but don’t mention it for reasons.
Thanks for explaining all of this, love the insight! 😊
The fish and chips is definitely closer to the American version too. Re the no gravy or peas. But yes like the other person said pigs in blankets are pastry wrapped in the USA. I’m not sure how someone would react to getting a sausage wrapped in bacon when they ordered pigs in blankets, but they would definitely be confused bc it wouldn’t be what they thought they ordered. Gordon just subbed out the typical type of sausage in the middle for a British type of sausage.
I have a thing for British food. 🤤❤
PLUS! When I order fish and chips, I'm expecting a whole fish. Not just parts of it. 😂
So just some clarification from a Brit here: fish & chips - you would usually put malt vinegar & salt on the chips, and often tartar sauce with fish (it’s a sort of mayo-y sauce with capers). A lot of fish & chip shops exist all over the UK and is like the ideal Friday night takeaway for people to get! There’s always a lot of battered foods and fluffy chips and they’re SO good.
All the things you've eaten and worn and made since the start of this channel, and I've never been more shocked than hearing that neither of you had ever had fish & chips before 😂😂
Hahaha, me too! I was genuinely shocked.
In reference to the "none spicy Chicken Tika".... remember it was a dish invented within the UK for British people's tastes. It's not supposed to be spicy. If anything, it was created to give the taste of indian spicy food, but without the spicy heat!.
yep it's not supposed to be spicy, like butter chicken isn't
That makes a lot of sense thankyou!
This! I came to check if anyone commented this. Korma/tikka masala for mild curries and you wanna look at madras/vindaloo/phall for more spicy flavours
@@DaniiMarsh yeah I'm a bit surprised Saf didn't know this. I guess Americans might not know. A curry doesn't have to be spicy to be authentic just because that's what you like
In the burger section, I noticed for the first time how long both Saf and Tyler's fingers are! They're very suited to the piano or guitar!
I had the pleasure of meeting safiya and Tyler in A small Whole Foods in PA. Because of my surprise and excitement I was kind of at a lost for words. I wanted to talk to Safiya but I was just so shy…my one regreat. For all of her followers and subscribers I can attest that she is a lovely and kind person. I am happy to support good people with good content! Thank you again for your kindness! ❤
Only Safiya and Tyler can give a thoroughly journalistic tour of Vegas restaurants (up one side of the Strip, down the other side of the Strip, to Gordon's restaurants, etc...) and make it fully entertaining AND genuinely informative. It's quite a skill, to be honest!
Thank you for sharing, you two! 😊
The reason the Wellingtons have different prices is because of the differences between restaurants. The location / building maintenance may cost more, the restaurant may be less frequented (hells kitchen makes sense to have the most visitors daily), and other items on the menu may be more expensive to buy and produce! 😀 it also might not sell as well, but it takes a lot of time to produce, which ups the price.
Gordon Ramsay is a bigger legend than just a chef in Scotland 🏴. He started of as a football/soccer player for the Scottish Premier League team known as Glasgow Rangers but after a knee injury on the pitch he was told he wouldn’t play professionally again and so he switched careers to being a chef.. He also has a knighthood so it’s technically Sir Gordon Ramsay these days 😂😂
That football fact blew my mind!! Cheers from Canada.
"I used to be a soccer professionnal like you, until I took a ball in the knee"
He also finished a full distance ironman triathlon, something not many people can say
I don’t even like Vegas, but I watch every single episode because they’re so well-researched and fascinating. Thanks for another!🎉
Same
Same.
literally only want to go to vegas because of them lol
too bad you didnt mention the best ramsay series he ever made: gordons great escape, where he travels around east asia to find the best food in the area and learns it. he is the nicest human in this series and so in awe of all the people he meets and cherrish them.
i really fell in love with him at that more than in any other of his shows.
23:40 that involuntary hand gesture Safiya did tells me EVERYTHING about this dish
for how popular you both are and you could just demand things for free in exchange for content, i appreciate so much how humble and modest you both are and that you look to pay for everything yourselves, not make a scene, and just truly make content you like
Safiya's channel is my comfort channel, I love it so much!!
Anyone else shocked that Safiya and Tyler have never eaten fish and chips before? I feel like fried fish is such a staple across a lot of different geographies (Northeast, South, West Coast)!
The Midwest does fish fries all summer
Exactly my thought. You can’t escape the Lenten Fish Fry in Western NY
We grow up eating it in Australia, it's an absolute staple, so bizarre to me!
I think they mentioned in a previous video that they’re pretty new to eating seafood in general
yep, same!
So nice of you to give a shout-out to Mythical Chef Josh's father. I have a feeling this guy's gonna go far!
Honestly I’m totally here for Safiya and Tyler as food reviewers
I'm American and I even had to pause and 👀when you said you'd never had Fish & Chips before!! It's one of my favorite things ever hahah.
Regarding the chicken tikka masala: its not meant to be spicy, its what you order when the spiciest thing you can eat is black pepper. British asian food and actual Asian food are very different. As a british asian - i love both!
I (stupidly) to remind myself that these meals aren’t eaten back to back. Because what starts as envy turns to concern for your stomachs lol
17:12 it's giving that scene from Friends "beef, good! cream, good! berries, good! peas, good! it's all food!" or whatever he says LOL
I love the way Safiya say “Alright.” Her voice is so soothing.
I know she needs to be an audiobook narrator right?? She has such a clear melodic voice.
Watching Safiya's videos feel so heart-warming. Its like hanging out with your funny, loving, a lil silly big sis! ❤
“Banger in the mouth”
craziest first seconds of the video 😭😭😭
Gordon Ramsay 's restaurants should all have a secret item, "Idiot Sandwich" and the waiter has to hold bread on your head if you order it. I would definitely do it.
Or serve it as a sandwich with just the notes from the one restaurant inside
fish and chips are best I think with tartar sauce, curry sauce, salt and vinegar, or gravy especially in the north of england! great to see you try some as its such a comfort meal for me
Or ketchup if you're a southener 👍
I love how Safiya was saying she’s a sociopath because she likes her burgers well done- while here in Canada they’re all well done😭 we don’t choose how cooked it is, it’s just fully cooked💀
Yeah, I found this a bit strange too haha. I live in the US and well done is the default - you're not really supposed to eat anything under well done when it comes to ground beef (food safety) unlike with steak.
Yeah that's how it is in the US too. You *can* get it less but default is well done. Ground beef is far different from other actual cuts.
There are areas, where you don't eat it medium well or well done apparently. Learned that the "hard" way as a 13-year-old somewhere on the road during a family vaccation in France. Back then I ordered a ground beef steak (it was like a burger patty) and even though I asked them to make it well done (because we've heard before that they prefer it rather bloody in this area), it was still pink to even reddish inside. Still ate it, but left the red parts out😅
Also just googled a bit, eating ground beef well done (esp. with bought ground meat and burger patties) is often done for food safety reasons. Yet in a restaurant like Gordon's, where they probably ground the beef themselves, you can eat your burger medium rare or rare as well. Maybe it's common in finer dining, but I don't know about that😅
@@eriamelrrow6195 The difference there is "ground beef" vs "ground beef steak". Ground beef bought at a store is usually like leftover meats ground down into a mix. So you cook it well done since certain cuts of meat aren't good to eat less than that. If you're ordering "ground beef steak" burgers then it's fine because that's essentially a steak ground up and made into a patty. So you can eat it less than well done. Either way, a lot of people still prefer the burgers well done because of texture.
@@Eventide215 Thank you for the clarification! 🙂
I agree with saf, well done burgers are good. If the meat is freshly ground you can cook it medium rare because steak before it's ground, bacteria can't penetrate the skin, but after you grind it, it breaks that barrier and invites bacteria and becomes a breeding ground. That being said, i have never cooked frozen burgers anything less than well done and they have been good. Well done doesn't mean burnt or dry, it really all depends on how you cook it.
I sear my burgers and then baste it like a steak with butter/bbq sauce to cook it through. Never dry, never burned.
“When it comes to me and Gordon, it’s always a sausage party” TYLER??? 😭😭
It’s 1:35 AM in India, and I was just about to sleep but got so excited to see the notification of yours video Safiya. I love you guys. I pretty much have watched all your videos twice or even thrice and even shown your wedding video to my husband. He keeps telling you look like some famous actress. I always wait for your videos. ❤❤❤❤ I really would love to meet you someday. You’re my favorite. Lots of love ❤
Chicken tikka is mild. It was created for the more traditional british pallete where often people thought black pepper or garlic was too strong (not now). Even milder is the korma. On the other end of the scale, vindaloo was made for drunkards to challenge each other to have (as its supposed to be extremely spicy) after they roll out of the pub.
Seeing him talk to children who are aspiring chefs shows how much of a kind person he is under the swearing crazy person he is on TV
Tyler: “this is an investigative channel people”
Saf: “this is science”
Tyler: “this is journalism”
hahaha you cracked me up
36:25 killed me
SAME
In the uk a pig in blanket doesn’t include puff pastry. It’s just sausage wrapped in bacon so he’s defo tailored to a us audience there!
I’m American and I’ve never had it in puff pastry, only wrapped in bacon. America is different across the board I gyess
“Wrapping stuff in puff pastry” is a core pillar of British cuisine
Everyone knows him as the mean guy, but if you actually watch his shows you understand that his high standards are backed with experience and dignity for the work he's putting out and respect for customers paying for an experience, and every customer deserving the best experience. He knows how to fix interpersonal relationships in family businesses and gets people talking to each other again. He has a lot of heart, good taste, and respect for others, let alone himself. I think that's why I love gordon so much. Out of all celebrity chefs he by far has the most heart and hasn't gotten out of touch with the public.
Yea he always stands up for employees who are being taking advantage of by bad owners too which I really respect
To be honest I'm not a fan of the mean persona but I do really like him and the reason is because I watched his shows with the young child chefs, who were really talented for their age and some of them talented even compared to adult chefs! With the kids he's great. I'm also now interested on seeing if there's a show about him teaching interested prisoners to cook, is that exists as a show. I wouldn't have known about that except for the comments here 😂
Safiya, you are not a sociopath for liking your burgers well done. I'm Canadian and it is law in Ontario (where I'm from) that all burgers need to be cooked at 71°C or 160°F for order. It's the norm here. I was shocked when I went down to the states and was asked how I wanted my burger cooked.
The puree under the scallops with what’s in season in peak of the season. Cauliflower is in its peak during the late summer while peas are in season in spring.
33:25 I just pictured Luxeria and Roly screaming "GOUT" in the middle of that restaurant after this comment 😂
SAME I’ve literally never heard anyone say that word except them until now. 😂
That wellington looked like it was still mooing, not gonna lie lol
Honestly, I think my favorite part of the video was the 90 seconds running down how Ramsay became a celebrity chef in the first place. I didn't know the stuff about Aubergine and then Channel 4 chronicled his first restaurant snowballing into a media and culinary empire.
13:50. Wait. What??? Never had fish and chips???? How does one get through so much of life without having that deep fried god send of a meal?
I was wondering the same.
Came to the comment section immediately when reaching this point in the vid. Mind blown.
i have almost never seen it on any menus and I've traveled a lot of America... and even if on a menu i doubt it would be made properly
@@alisahall8348what? Are you living in an alternate universe? It’s on the menu at almost every casual seafood restaurant in coastal towns all over the USA. Both coasts and on the Great Lakes. I’m not sure I have ever been to a small local seafood/diner restaurant in a seaside town on the US west coast that DIDN’T have fish n’ chips on the menu.
Because fish and fries in the states is disgusting. As an American living in the UK, I hated any fish dish in the US. I had fish and chips when I moved here and I was very sceptical based on my previous experience. I love fish here and eat fish and chips at least once a week now.
I loveee how Safiya clearly does not give AF about beef Wellington but is still here for Tyler’s indulgence and also for the plot 😂
“THANK YOU SAFIYA” we all say in unison
The Queen is back with a new Vegas eating vid. Hell(s kitchen) yeah!!!
watching this made me do a double take when tyler called the pudding an stp... in my realm that has a uh. VERY different meaning haha
fish and chips are usually eaten while trying to not fall over from the wind or be attacked by flailing seagulls
Fish and chips used to be considered a working class treat back in the 70s/80s, cos there weren't many takeaway options and it was cheap. Now, it's kinda pricey. My local chippy charges £14.79 for fish, chips, and mushy peas or a sauce, which is about $19.
Oh, and back in the day, fish and chips used to be served/wrapped in pages from unsold newspapers, which is why there were newspapers as part of the decor at Ramsay's place. Kinda gross really, but that was outlawed years ago.
Christ almighty fifteen quid for chippy tea? Cost of living’s gotten out of control mate
28:30 you are half Indian?!!
Yeah I was surprised too! I googled it and her mom is Indian! So cool!
yeah her mom is apparently Indian
"for some reason, we just really liked seeing british people yell at us" LMFAOOOOOKJSHOOA
The timing of this couldn’t have been more perfect. Thanks for sharing!
I agree 😄
right?! they are just the best yt has to offer ngl
i was watching kitchen nightmares when i saw the notification lol
As a Canadian who recoils at the idea of a medium cooked burger...you are definitely not a sociopath for liking them well done! Ground beef is meant to be cooked.
7:52 I’m sorry??? He offers literally a slab of grilled chicken on a slab??? It looks unseasoned and unappealing.
I was pretty unimpressed by that also
And a breast, to boot! Ew.
It was a asked for side so they probably didn't put much thought into it maybe it's a kitchen process thing?
Safiya, you're not a sociopath. As a Canadian, I'm convinced every American who likes medium done burgers is instead.
Beef that's ground from high-quality, well-maintained whole cuts is safe for healthy adults to eat medium in burgers. I wouldn't risk it everywhere but somewhere like a Ramsey restaurant can do it safely (and I'm in the UK where it's not legally possible to do).
same im american but i grew up with well done meat, if i see or taste even the slightest hint of raw i cant eat it, i dont understand why so many people here like pink in their beef its disgusting
@@jxton_medium doesn’t have anything raw. Just fyi.
@@newcamomile I'm not suggesting it's inherently unsafe, just icky.
@@jxton_ Disagree when it comes to steak. It's just burgers I can't get behind. I recognize it's just due to what I'm used to though.
With all the drama on TH-cam RN it’s always nice to watch your channel, is refreshing and calming. Love you guys always bringing such great relaxing content ❤
I'm pretty sure there's an interview where Gordon Ramsey says he only shouts and gets angry because people who claim to know what they're doing mess up so badly on basic things which is why he's angriest on kitchen/hotel nightmares, occasionally angry on Masterchef and never angry on the kids version.
Literally this video cleaned my face and made dinner for me. I couldn’t do it without you Saf. Thank you so much.
26:49 Gordon is nothing if not committed to the BRIT!!
As a Brit, and a big Safiya & Tyler fan, I found myself getting anxious when they got to the fish and chips…. I had no reason to be nervous. Perfect notes. Malt vinegar is great, but curry sauce is where it’s at, battered cod the best, battered sausage - always risky. Thank god we’re still friends in my imagination.
If anyone hasn’t watched them, the Gordon, Fred & Gino food travel shows are some of my fave tv he’s ever made. Absolute hilarity on wheels
I should not have chosen to watch this while hungry. The fish and chips in particular sound like exactly what I'd want right now.
I hope you got some.
