Gordon Ramsay shoved food into waiter's mouth: left guests stunned

Gordon Ramsay is known for his hot-tempered temper, furious tirades and colorful insults on his reality TV shows, however, his questionable behavior apparently isn't limited to the screen. The Hell's Kitchen star was found to have forcibly fed a canapé waiter at an awards ceremony. The incident took place at the Walpole British Luxury Awards at a hotel in London's Mayfair district, where a waiter served a cone-shaped canape and held a tray with them with both hands. During a buffet before the ceremony, the waiter offered Ramsay a canapé, and the TV star took one of them and, instead of eating, stuck it in the mouth of the terrified waiter.

Fearing to drop the tray, the waiter had no choice but to try to eat it, with Ramsay not asking him in advance if he wanted canapé, whether he had allergies or special dietary requirements. Before walking away, the chef showed the waiter a "finger up" and the waiter, who had his mouth stuffed, couldn't answer.

“It was terrible behavior and very disrespectful of him,” the guest said. I was amazed that he could treat someone like that. The waiter, who asked not to be named, said: “I was embarrassed because we are not supposed to eat while we are serving guests.” But what am I supposed to do when Gordon Ramsay makes you eat canapé? I don't know why he did that.”.

The chef's company has been honoured with the award, given to those whose skill and ambition will transform their industry and the world of British luxury. His spokesman declined to comment on the incident, instead criticising the journalist for reporting on his behaviour: A joyful evening celebrating the incredible British brands, creators who are waving the UK flag around the world, and you're fixated on it. Shame on you.
