Since making the quick trip across the Atlantic back in the heady years of 2004, Gordon Ramsay has delighted (okay, maybe delighted is a bit of a stretch) us all with his many television shows, his Twitter roastings and his terrifying way of tearing people apart using little more than a few choice words and a British accent. It's what we love him for.

But in the decade or so since Gordon Ramsay made his sweary entrance to pop culture, it's not entirely out of the question that the 51-year-old's presence has gotten... kind of stale. Wait, wait - I know that the insults, rages and roastings will be hilarious until the heat death of the universe, but there's only so many episodes of Hell's Kitchen or Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares you can watch before it all starts to look the same.

No. What we need is a new television show from Gordon Ramsay. Something which combines the manic nature of Hell's Kitchen with the redemptive arc of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, pushing our favorite celebrity chef to his emotional limits, something sure to result in some hilariously insane soundbites.

Wait, what do you mean that's already in production?! Turns out, folks, Gordon Ramsay's way ahead of us on that one.

Feast your eyes, if you will, on the video above, which gives us a behind-the-scenes look at Gordon Ramsay’s 24 Hours To Hell & Back. It sounds certifiably insane. In this new show, Gordon Ramsay will attempt to take a failing restaurant and make it thrive, and but unlike Kitchen Nightmares, this will all occur in about 24 hours.

You'd be forgiven for thinking that even for a chef of Ramsay's talents and... unique motivational skills, this sounds like a bridge too far, but to aid him in his quest, Ramsay has his own state-of-the-art mobile kitchen, known affectionately as 'Hell on Wheels'.

I think he's missed a trick by not calling it the Ramsaymobile, but he'll move the guest stars of his show into there, where he'll attempt to instil the principles of running a Michelin-starred restaurant. Hopefully with a lot of yelling and swearing.

As you might've guessed, I'm all for it, guys... but is anyone else a little worried for Gordon Ramsay's health here? Some of these restaurants look a lot of work, and there's only so much yelling and cursing you can do in a 24-hour period before you're at serious risk of stress-related illnesses. I hope that Hell on Wheels has a massage table as well as a fancy kitchen, because Ramsay's going to need it.

While this show was announced all the way back in 2017, we had no idea of when it would be making its way to our television screens, but we can now confirm that 24 Hours to Hell and Back will premiere June 13 on FOX. So I don't know about you, but I know exactly where I'll be that day.

Let's be honest: 24 hours is probably not enough time to makeover a kitchen, but I can't wait to watch Gordon Ramsay try.

I don't know about you guys, but I certainly can never get enough of Gordon Ramsay.Whether we're talking Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, Hell's Kitchen, or many of the social media posts depicting him being unnecessarily mean to amateur chefs on Twitter: I'm here for it, and I live for it.

That being said, I can understand if some of you aren't quite as indoctrinated into the church of Ramsay, and need more variety in your daily dose of culinary cursing. Ramsay hears you too, and to be fair, he's doing his best to mix things up; we've got some new flavours of Ramsay to look forward to over the coming months.

First, there's 24 Hours To Hell & Back, where Ramsay will attempt to go through the rigours of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares over the course of a day, which will make for some compelling television if the stress doesn't kill him first. But it's the show that's just been announced that's got people talking, and not in a good way.

Just a couple of months after the tragic passing of the celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain, Gordon Ramsay has announced a new show that looks as if it might be the spiritual successor to Bourdain's show Parts Unknown, but of course, it's got its own hook that makes it decidedly Gordon Ramsay-esque.

Here's the idea behind Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted. Well, first of all, Gordon Ramsay isn't about to go hunting for treasure like the Playstation game of the same name; instead, he'll be travelling to locations in all four corners of the globe, trying out different cuisines.

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/GordonRamsay/status/1022296153881104384]]

But instead of yelling at chefs all around the world for their perceived cooking iniquities (how well does "you f***ing idiot sandwich" translate to Nepalese, anyway?), Gordon Ramsay is set to take them on at their own game, hoping to beat foreign chefs at creating their own local dishes. Said in more market speak-y tones from Uncharted's producers:

"Each episode of Uncharted will include three key ingredients: unlocking a culture's culinary secrets through exploration and adventure with local food heroes, no matter where they may lead him. Tracking down high-octane traditions, pastimes and customs that are specific to the region in hopes of discovering the undiscovered.

And, finally, testing Ramsay against the locals, pitting his own interpretations of regional dishes against the tried-and-true classics."

So, to recap: Gordon Ramsay is going to fly to other countries, taste a few of the local dishes, and then try to upstage chefs (who've probably been cooking the dishes for years) after looking at a plate of street food for maybe fifteen minutes. There's no way this can go wrong, right? Twitter was pretty offended at the idea. Take it away, Eddie Huang!

Huang isn't the only person who thinks this is a terrible idea. Many people online are upset at the premise behind Uncharted, and - this being the internet, after all - a lot more people have jokes. Like these ones:

That last tweet reminds me: did nobody pitching this show remember when Gordon Ramsay tried to make that pad thai, and ended up getting completely roasted by a Thai chef? Here's a glorious reminder:

Yeah, this is a terrible idea. While an official air date is not yet known, production is due to begin this fall, so we can probably expect Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted at some point in 2019. I can't wait.

We've all heard of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. I hope. When you think of Gordon Ramsay and his enduring schtick of yelling expletive-laden diatribes at people who have temerity to cook a steak slightly wrong, you're either thinking of Hell's Kitchen, or you're picturing Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares.

It was an extremely popular show during its run, but although Ramsay's since moved on to new projects like 24 Hours to Hell and Back or his less well-received show about cooking foreign dishes (Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted), his old show has come back to haunt him in a strange fashion.

[[youtubewidget||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veKA1nR7VW4]]

The main selling point of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares is that Gordon Ramsay goes to a failing restaurant, and brings it back from the brink to a ton of smiles and cautiously triumphant score, yadda yadda. It can have an effect on a restaurant as any Diner, Drive-in or Dive featured on Guy Fieri's flagship show, but one New Orleans outlet found out in the worst way that such an effect can go both ways.

New episodes of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares stopped airing on FOX back in 2018, and Oceana Grill were featured on the show back in 2011. Since then, the restaurant has gone from strength to strength, but received a very unwelcome blast from the past, after a video on the Kitchen Nightmares Facebook page went viral.

Although the video has since been taken down, the New Orleans Advocate reports that the video in question involves Ramsay "vomiting after opening a bin of shrimp" and reportedly finding dead rats in rat traps. What's the problem? The parent company of Oceana Grill, Cajun Conti, say: "none of the above-described events were real, but were contrived and orchestrated by defendants [Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares] to manufacture drama for their show."

So controversial was this footage, that Cajun Conti initially sued Gordon Ramsay and FOX, trying to stop the episode from airing back at all in 2011. They lost the case, but reached an agreement with FOX that meant they couldn't air any “re-mixes” of the footage without paying Cajun Conti $10,000 and giving an update on how the restaurant was doing today.

No such update was issued.

"During the episode’s filming, defendants went to great lengths to over-dramatize and even fabricate problems with the restaurant in order to increase ratings," reads the lawsuit filed against Gordon Ramsay and FOX. "The footage intentionally portrayed Oceana and its employees in a patently false and negative light, as it depicted the appealing restaurant as an unsuccessful, unsanitary and mismanaged restaurant."

While it's to be expected that Kitchen Nightmares ramp things up for dramatic purposes and that you could possibly argue that Oceana Grill don't have a leg to stand on once they agreed to appear on the show, videos like this without context could really do a number on the restaurant's popularity. As of yet, Gordon Ramsay or FOX have yet to respond to the lawsuit.

Gordon Ramsay, right? Speak to any random member of the public about their favourite celebrity chef and they'll almost certainly mention our sweary Scotsman. But while he's a Michelin-starred chef who's undoubtedly really darned good at preparing food to shove into our faceholes, Ramsay's cooking skills are perhaps the third-most famous thing about this celebrity chef.

If you were to cross paths with Gordon Ramsay in the street, you'd most likely expect him to yell insults at you, and if his social media and on-camera presence is anything to go by, this would be an accurate assessment to make. Head to Twitter, and you'll see him savagely criticising the efforts of amateur chefs. Head to Instagram and not even his daughter - his own flesh and blood - is spared a roasting.

From the simple yet effective ("f*** off!") to the pseudo-biblical ("for what we are about to eat, may the Lord make us truly not vomit") and the unsettlingly vivid ("you guys cook like old people f***"), Gordon Ramsay has come up with some creatively colourful ways of telling people that they suck at cooking.

But here's one thing I'm super curious about: in a long, storied catalogue of insults, which one is Gordon Ramsay's best? There are so, so many to choose from, aren't there? The internet has been asking that very same question, and on this occasion, the artist himself weighed in on his favourite work of art.

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/bettymh98/status/1031818308251791360]]

This is a tweet from user Betty, who hails from Wales in the United Kingdom, who gave her humble opinion on the 52-year-old's best quote. "This squid is so undercooked I can hear it telling Spongebob to 'F*** OFF'" is great for many reasons, and Instagram personality @fuckjerry appeared to agree, and named his second favourite insult: "Idiot sandwich in close 2nd."

This is where Gordon Ramsay swooped in, adding in his third choice ("'my gran could do better! And she's dead' is a close 3rd for me"), which would imply that he's in agreement about the first and second choices, and to be honest I do not blame him. The entire exchange was captured by the @commentsbycelebs Instagram page, to be immortalised online (and featured in articles just like this).

[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm1cxGIBDNU/?taken-by=commentsbycelebs]]

Well, folks, there you have it. It's not always easy for an artist to name their favourite work (just ask Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke about his opinions on breakout hit Creep), but Gordon Ramsay is clearly proud of each and every insult he puts out.

Of course, his antics are played up for the camera to a certain extent, and that's come back to bite him quite recently as Ramsay was sued for re-using footage from a 2011 episode of Kitchen Nightmares today, without notifying the restaurant it was based on. If footage of Gordon Ramsay throwing up into a bin after looking at your food went viral on Facebook seven years after the fact, you'd be pretty upset too, I guess.

Either way, let's hope Ramsay's new shows have plenty of soundbites for us to enjoy.

It's no secret that Gordon Ramsay knows his way around the kitchen - usually, because shouting his way through. While he's infamous for his temper on TV shows like Masterchef, Kitchen Nightmares and Hell's Kitchen, in person, he's just as delightful as we always suspected.

If you follow him on Twitter, however, you're sure to disagree (if you don't, you are well and truly missing out on some good laughs). The chef, known for his harsh criticisms has been subtly roasting home cooks and their amateur creations for many months now, gathering quite a following in the process.

This is one of many savage examples. @glennjroe asks: "Hey @GordonRamsay what do you think of my pasta dish I made for my Fiancé and myself tonight?!" and Ramsay replied: "I’m amazed she said yes!" Why has Ramsay decided to expand his platform outside of the small screen?

“Honestly, I had enough of people tagging me in shots of their food pictures that they thought were amazing, when they were terrible,” he told PopSugar. “I’ve always given out a lot of tough love on TV, so I figured the Twitterverse was prepared for it.”

For those looking for Ramsay’s insults to come to a halt (though Twitter won't be the same if they do), the F Word host has a solution: “Now, if everyone could just cook properly I wouldn’t have a problem,” he queries.

During the same interview with PopSugar, Ramsay also had a few choice words for the Unicorn food trend seemingly taking over the world (and your local Starbucks). “Unicorns are meant for children’s tales, not food,” he said. “Period.”

He had similar thoughts on the hot topic of whether pineapple belongs on pizza: “You don’t put f—ing pineapple on pizza,” and he's very much anti any food of the aviation kind.

When it comes to travel, Ramsay has a leg up on the rest of us, being able to eat at his own restaurant. Plane Food in London's Heathrow Airport is in Terminal Five and it's an absolute marvel. If he's not flying out of that particular part of the airport, he tries to keep it light without skipping on flavors, with a delicious pre-flight snack at an Italian bar.

"A nice selection of Italian meats, a little glass of red wines, some sliced apples or pears with some parmesan cheese, I’m like a pig in s***," Ramsay says. When it comes to take-off, however: "There’s no f***ing way I eat on planes."

Ramsay says: "I worked for airlines for ten years, so I know where this food’s been and where it goes, and how long it took before it got on board." The same applies to business and first class, so it might be a good idea to start eating before you get on the plane. Or, bring a cheeseburger or fried chicken onboard. I'm sure no one will mind that much on a long-haul flight.
