An eight-year-old clip from Gordon Ramsay’s The F Word is doing the rounds at the moment.
Call it karmic retribution, but the chef who so easily heaps scorn on other people’s cooking was basically snarled at for making trash pad Thai.
VICE relished in the old clip that popped up again – commenting that it’s “so deliriously, utterly thrilling to watch” – after Twitter user @sydneeW posted it on Monday with the caption “YALL IM CRYINGGGGGGGGGG”:
The 28-second video shows Ramsay cooking what he refers to, nominally, as pad Thai. He feeds it to mononymous chef Chang of the Blue Elephant; Chang takes a bite and glares at Ramsay, who is utterly, nakedly desperate for validation.
That video is no longer available, but this one is:

I love that chef Chang made Ramsay beg for a review, and then followed up by throwing absolute daggers:
It’s pretty nice to see this clip get resurrected, especially on the exact platform where Ramsay loves to dish out insults like Santa does Christmas gifts.
The snippet comes from an episode of The F Word in which Ramsay cooks for a group of monks at London’s Wimbledon Thai temple:
Besides Ramsay not being able to properly pronounce “toong tong”, the dumplings that are colloquially known in parts of the English-speaking world as “moneybags”, he royally messes up a dish that he supposedly loves to eat and cook.
Later on in the episode, Ramsay pushes the poor monks into a corner by asking them if they liked his dish:
Hey man, if you’re going to make a sport of lambasting other people’s cooking, particularly on Twitter and even TikTok, then it has to be expected that you will get beaten at your own game at some point.
