10 Biggest Gordon Ramsay Outbursts

It's time to play pin the fail on the donkey as we relive the best of Gordon Ramsay's worst.

Equal parts chef and sadist, Gordon Ramsay is no stranger to the phrase "if you want to make an omelette you have to break a few eggs."

We've all enjoyed watching him obliterate the self esteem of business owners, chefs and customers over the years, the one constant being his insatiable appetite for perfection and a bottomless reserve of rage.

That rage has spawned television gold, and some of the most wonderfully absurd insults on TV; never has the word "donkey" cut so deep.

Join us as we relive some of the best scaldings, tongue lashings and all the back biting in between. The fabled Idiot Sandwich - which is now a meme in itself - is nowhere near the worst of it...

10. More Pumpkin

Sometimes you get the impression customers just want to be "the one who put Gordon Ramsay in his place". It never works out.

On an episode of Hell's Kitchen, a diner kicked up a fuss when his pumpkin risotto simply didn't have enough damn pumpkin. He marched up to the kitchen with his half empty dish in hand to demand what was rightfully his. Ramsay clocked him and, politely enough, said he was busy with another table. That wouldn't do, so our have-a-go hero cut Ramsay off, demanding to know where all the pumpkin was at.

After a couple more interruptions Ramsay lost his composure. The stand-off ends when Ramsay says, of course the customer can have more pumpkin, would he prefer it diced or whole? Whilst it's promptly rammed up his arse.

Better luck next time.
