From troubled teenager to world stardom
Gordon Ramsay was born in 1966 in Glasgow, Scotland. His childhood was not entirely easy and was full of challenges as he grew up in a family with an alcoholic father. However, this tragic experience did not disgust him throughout his life, but rather inspired him to become a role model for his children and support the fight against domestic violence.
His first great passion was football, but an injury prevented him from pursuing a professional career. He eventually found employment in the kitchen, where he discovered his talent. He gradually perfected his cooking skills in prestigious restaurants around the world. The turning point was his collaboration with the French chef Alain Ducasse. He later opened his own restaurants, which received several Michelin stars.
Where can Gordon Ramsay’s specialties be tasted?
You can find Gordon Ramsay restaurants all over the world, from London to New York to Las Vegas. One of Ramsay’s greatest achievements is his Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in London, which has maintained three Michelin stars since 2001. He also has restaurants in Las Vegas, Dubai, Paris and many other cities, offering a wide range of cuisine, from traditional British cuisine to modern fusion.
Why she never eats on the plane
Gordon Ramsay has a lot of experience with airline food and does not eat on the plane because he worked for airlines for 10 years and knows how to handle this food. At the same time, he is of the opinion that this food is often disgusting and insufficient. Ramsay is known for his demandingness and high standards, which is why he prefers not to eat where he cannot enjoy first-class, and above all, quality food.
Why does airplane food taste weird?
The extraordinary taste of the food served on the plane is caused by several factors. One is the lower cabin pressure, which, combined with the cold, dry air, numbs our taste buds. It is similar to when you have a bad cold. Specifically, our perception of sweet and salty will decrease by about 30 percent.
Another reason is the quality of the raw materials. In order to keep food fresh for a long time, lower quality ingredients and preservatives are often used. Food is heated in bulk right on board, which affects its taste and texture. The quick preparation, for which the flight staff only has limited time, is also to blame, which is reflected in the overall quality of the food served.
What Gordon Ramsay advises
If you want to enjoy a culinary experience, according to Gordon, an airplane is not the place to be. Like him, you better treat yourself to quality food before your flight or after your arrival.
