Shoot-from-the-lip chef Gordon Ramsay says he doesn’t like fat chefs.
“Nothing worse,” says the opinionated host of “Kitchen Nightmares” and “Hell’s Kitchen.”
“I don’t think chefs should be fat,” Ramsay yesterday told a radio station in South Africa, where he is the star attraction at a food and wine show.
“It’s just not a good advert[isement],” he said of fat chefs — suggesting that the chef and his kitchen are out of control.
“Nothing worse when you’re going out for lunch or dinner, and out comes the [overweight] chef. They fold their arms, sweating over the table and they ask that dreaded question: ‘What do you think of my food?’
“I was a fat chef myself once,” Ramsay told the station. “Got up to 250 pounds.
“I was cranky. I was irritable. Still am a little irritable,” he added.
