Cranky chef Gordon Ramsay refuses to adapt his menus for diners on weight-loss drugs ― just $$@O#*@#!! ask him.
“That is absolute bullshit,” Ramsay told The Sunday Times. “There’s no fucking way we’re giving in to the Mounjaro jab … The problem is with [customers] for eating too much in the first fucking place! There’s no way that we’re coming in with an Ozempic tasting menu to make you feel like less of a fat fuck by 10:30 in the evening.”
Ramsay’s lack of diplomacy should come as no surprise. His nasty critiques have built his brand on shows like “Hell’s Kitchen.” He won’t hesitate to belittle regular people making their own favorite Super Bowl snacks either.
But shaming the millions in the U.S. and U.K. who have taken Ozempic and other GLP-1 medications, which control blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes but also contribute to weight loss, could perhaps be a marketing mistake.
Ramsay previously opened up about his own war of the waistline. When his daughter Tilly was called “chubby” by a radio personality after she appeared on “Strictly Come Dancing” in 2021, Ramsay called it a “very sensitive issue.”
“I am someone who has always struggled with their weight,” he said on Instagram. “I have to train. We eat all day. I pick, we graze, we are around food 24/7. If we don’t train, I’d be 350-400 pounds — so all credit to her.”
