CHEF Gordon Ramsay’s abusive tirades might be entertaining, but watching a little kid impersonate his rants is just plain hilarious.
Meet Little Gordon, the new Internet spoof that re-imagines the trash-talking celebrity chef as a spiky-haired 9-year-old “on a personal mission to rid the world of rubbish food and pathetic service.” Or so says his Web site, LittleGordon.com.
The tiny tyrant is part of a viral video campaign for Caterer.com, a UK-based job board for the hospitality industry. In one video, Little Gordon chews out his mom for making him a run-of-the-mill ham-and-cheese sandwich. “Just stop, yeah? Just stop and think a minute. What’d I tell you last week about the bread? . . . This is white f – – – ing anemic stuff. It’s f – – – ing embarrassing.”
So what does Ramsay think of his foul-mouthed mini-me?
“I got sent [the link] yesterday. I was with my [8-year-old] son Jack and [my wife] Tana. I said, ‘Look, come and see Daddy when he was 8.’ And Jack started watching it and he started getting upset because he thought I was talking to his grandma like that. And so for the last 24 hours I’ve been trying to tell him that it’s not me, but he’s absolutely convinced that Little Gordon is me.”
Now if “Top Chef Junior” – the cooking show currently in development on Bravo – can only get him booked.
