Kevin Rudd on Wednesday needed just two four-letter words, and the odd shorter word, to convey his view of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.
British chef Gordon Ramsay was rebuked on Tuesday by Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who said the celebrity reflected ”a new form of low life”.
Tough-talking Australia is complaining about the foul language of a British celebrity chef.
Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay says restaurants should be fined if they serve out-of-season fruit and vegetables. ”I don’t want to see asparagus in the middle of December. I don’t want to see strawberries from Kenya in the middle of March. I want to see it home-grown,” he said.
Australia’s Catholic church has taken a swipe at foul-mouthed British chef Gordon Ramsay and demanded his reality television shows be either taken off air or shown at a later time. One episode broadcast recently featured Ramsay using a four-letter expletive more than 80 times, while he also shouts at a chef saying: ”You French pig.”
He was skewered in New York, roasted in Ireland, and now a top French food critic has warned against his ”unexciting” cooking driven by the money-making ambitions of a global brand. But Gordon Ramsay’s quest for world domination continues next week when he launches a restaurant outside Paris.
