Gordon Ramsay, the "MasterChef Junior” judge posted this duet video of himself reacting to a 13-year-old content creator named William cooking beef Wellington — one of Ramsay’s most well-known dishes sayng “OK, show me what you got,” Ramsay says as he starts to watch William’s video, which has reached 8.6 million views on TikTok since it was posted.
On his various TV shows, the chef is infamous for his outbursts in the kitchen and he’s been bringing the critical energy to social media ever since the early days of the pandemic.
But the celebrity chef does have a soft side, and he can dish out compliments when he feels they’re deserved.
“Dude, you are handling this recipe with such confidence,” Ramsay says. “Well done.”
Ramsay's comments on William’s skills and shallot-cooking technique, and validates his choice of fungi; he calls chestnut mushrooms “the best flavor for a Wellington.”
“William, this is looking good,” Ramsay says, adding that he’s impressed by the home cook’s choice to make a spinach crepe.
The young creator made a follow-up video (which has 9.5 million views on Instagram) watching Ramsay react to the original. In it, William stands with two pieces of bread at the ready, waiting to see if the chef will invoke his famous insult of calling someone an “idiot sandwich.”
