How Gordon Ramsay won THREE Michelin stars | Dish Podcast | Waitrose

Gordon Ramsay OBE is arguably the most famous chef in the world. His global restaurant empire has been awarded 17 Michelin stars; he has hosted some of the biggest shows on UK and US TV, including Hell’s Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares; and he has a string of bestselling books. The internet loves Gordon Ramsay and a cool 60 million people follow him on social media. His new book, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay: A Story of Excellence is out now.
Angela knows exactly what Gordon likes to eat and prepares him a delicious crab linguine with chilli and garlic. Nick pours a vintage English sparkling wine, Gusbourne Exclusive Release, to toast Angela’s birthday and later some Soave, which is paired with the meal by the experts at Waitrose.
This is a really special episode as Gordon and Angela reminisce about the early days of Aubergine, the restaurant that launched their culinary careers. Nick learns a thing or two about Michelin stars, while Gordon talks family, fitness and TikTok.
This episode was released in September 2023 and was the first episode from Series 4 of Dish from Waitrose.

I fully get that this is like, an advertisement for Waitrose, but I feel like this show should be a full-length, possibly 1 hour long weekly Netflix series with a combo of the interview of the guest and with a full cooking/baking segment. I desire this content.

[@raynemichelle2996]

it reminds me of when companies sponsored television shows in the 50s and 60s. podcasts usually have ad breaks. this one doesn't

[@TzunSu]

Yeah it's actually *bizarre* how good it is, considering that it's an advertisement. They don't really try to shill anything, which helps.

[@LEKA271276]

💯 😊

[@piers42]

100% I am not a great cook, I need to visually see how Angela cooks the meals to even pretend I could not poison myself 😂

[@lulabella333]

Yes!

[@melsyoutube]

gordon trying to make sure angela got home safe is so sweet 🥹

[@hannah50353]

I Love Gordon Ramsey. He once stopped a show to listen to my request when I put up my hand to say, “Excuse me, but we can't hear you in the back, and we don't want to seem rude by not laughing and enjoying your banter while you cook”. He gave me a free copy of his book and thanked me for letting him know there was an issue. Then afterwards he signed my book ❤

[@retrospct]

Wow. What a bro.

[@elizabethheyenga9277]

That says a lot.

[@Celeste-dp5ur]

Gordon Ramsay speaks with such admiration, respect and affection about the women in his life - his mum, Tana, Tilly and Angela here. It's awesome Loved this pod SO MUCH

[@markmasterson4811]

Yes, an excellent point. A real genuine and good, guy.

[@1337billybob]

The irony is he is know for throwing hot pans at his employees and saying on hot ones that he doesn’t respect the youths cause they don’t have the old school work ethic of working unpaid. It’s in two statements but it is there. He said he would be fired for refusing to work unpaid on Sunday evening and he said young people don’t work as hard as people used to.

[@airsouthwestfan]

I treated my Mother to the full Restaurant Gordon Ramsay experience and we both were bowled over. My mother, for my 40th, treated me to Angela Hartnett's Murano experience and we thought we had died and gone to heaven. We love both Angela and Gordon. This interview along with Nick is just smashing. Love it!

[@roberths7282]

It’s interesting seeing how Angela holds herself in this show; you can tell she respects him dearly and holds him in high esteem.

[@usercarefree44]

But not in a cringe fan girl way...I love her and her laugh.😊

[@bgbaltuth]

Love the story that Angela wore his chef 's jacket. Who could ever be angry with Angela?

[@seansines]

I tripped over my dog to push play on this

[@bhanani5480]

😆hope doggo is ok.... another great guest and video

[@shanelknight8730]

this is so relatable. I haven't clicked on a video faster 🤣

I don’t doubt it! I have been WAITING for this one to drop! ❤

[@ecpcrowe]

No you didn't

😂

[@benwakefield93]

The only criticism i have of this podcast was that it was too short.

[@boredbunny7]

I came here to say the same thing. IT WAS TOO SHORT! T_T

[@caitlincrum9240]

My thoughts exactly!

[@raihanbagaskara3531]

Yeah It should be 2 days straight

[@gracewoodard9134]

Good one ​@@raihanbagaskara3531

[@FishareFriendsNotFood972]

Angela has steel confonfidence to cook for Gordon Ramsay and giggle and joke as he eats. She's phenomenal!

[@damarcuscolfer1485]

He used to he her boss, he half taught her how to cook 😂

[@chriswright4677]

They’ve been friends for years...

[@jack8988]

They go back 25 years

[@paulstack8615]

Angela is an amazing chef, being brave has nothing to do with it plus they worked together for years so Gordon knows exactly what he’s getting!!

[@sharonbland9061]

Love Angela, she is always upbeat, and her laugh is great.

[@vivawaratah1101]

I’ve always been a fan of the series but there’s just something so special about having a legendary chef as a guest, talking to another legend (That’s you Angela) about how they went through it all together. So inspiring! Amazing job as always ✨

[@teej143]

I love Gordon. He worked hard and earned his status. Moreover, he is a teacher. Say what you want about “celebrity chefs” but Chef Ramsey is the real deal. I’ve had the pleasure of eating in a couple of his restaurants and they are genuinely some of the best meals AND service I’ve experienced.

[@GreetTheSacredCow]

I had no idea Angela was such an OG. This was an illuminating episode in the best possible way. Brilliant.

[@melsyoutube]

“40 thousand, that’s huge! i’ve got 40 th- oh sorry, FORTY MILLION on tiktok.” lmaoooooo 😩😭

[@seminky5341]

Artificial world

[@AkodoNoEyes]

"Funny that, innit?" 😂😂 God I love British English. Gordan being protective of the female chef is indicitive of his upbringing with a single mother. He is a class act.

[@SirPhilMcCrackinVonBeggington]

She was hardly a single mother. Gordon's father was a waste of space, but he was around.

[@tweakypoppy]

@@SirPhilMcCrackinVonBeggington Was going to say this myself. Gordon was not raised by a single mother. He also left home at 16, which I believe was well before his father left. Correction, his father never left, he died in his early fifties.

[@andrechen2617]

​@@SirPhilMcCrackinVonBeggington that is not an equivalent. It's probably worse

[@SirPhilMcCrackinVonBeggington]

@ Thats not the point. She still wasnt a single mother. The guy lied or misled people.

[@andrechen2617]

@SirPhilMcCrackinVonBeggington disagree mate. We measure single parenthood by presence and actual contribution. To me at least, a parent with a partner who doesn't contribute anything to the household and is never there is a single parent in my books every day of the week.

[@debo3042]

I had the pleasure of meeting Gordon and his friends a couple of years back and can tell you hand on heart this guy is just lovely, so well mannered and down to earth. Total pleasure to chat to

[@markmasterson4811]

Gordon ramsay is truly an icon. There are not many. Used to love his series where you could cook along with him. He is actually a great teacher of his art.

[@the_judge_8262]

Angela's laugh is a national treasure in it's own right. Gordon's 40milluon line was hilarious😂

[@rebeccachampagne9801]

I absolutely love the relaxed conversation of this episode. As an audience, we are just witnesses of an incredibly comfortable chat around a table.

[@markmasterson4811]

Yes, unforced, interested, relaxed.

[@heythere1115]

The admiration Angela and Gordon have towards each other is what I hope my employees under me feel. I’m there to protect against the corporate bs, help you advance in your trade, mostly, there to learn about you from you. Gotta love a high stress work environment

[@johnpbh]

I LOVED the chemistry that Gordon and Angela obviously have... Now I need to go and by the book... And continue listening to your podcast of course...!!!

[@digitalbanana1]

AHH! Please have him back this was SO good! I want to hear more about Ang and Gordon back in the day

[@WizzWins]

Yeah we needed more stories about back in the day stuff

[@paulstack8615]

This show just wasn’t long enough…. Angela and Nick have great chemistry!!❤❤

[@DeborahSmith-jm4fh]

Nick & Angela are a great team xx

[@josiepark5521]

im in awe of the relationship between angela and gordon

[@maetaylor5677]

What a beautiful friendship I was so glad I got to listen to this today - refreshing to see this side of Gordon little more casual and clearly relaxed among friends

[@fizzzzerrrr]

The way he talks about his kids, his wife…( and Angela) I just love it so much and i can’t help but respect it - and him , as a result ✨

[@craigmills3583]

Angela and Gordon together is the zenith.

[@Mayaxoxx]

I listened to this episode a while back and it's still one of my favourites! So nice to see it in video format 😁

[@danielleryan196]

Do you know when this originally aired? I'm new to this

[@mbae123]

​@@danielleryan196 they put it in the description. It aired September last year

[@fppiroozian6372]

Nick is fantastic at what he does! The chemistry he creates, how he leads the conversation & he is funny! X

[@LEKA271276]

My partners a chef and when I poached an egg for our ceasar salad. Cause we booked a hotel room that turned out not to have any proper cooking area and 1 small pot, random utensils, which he was annoyed about cause he couldn't pouch the eggs. So I said leave it to me.... when he asked how'd I learn how to pouch eggs so perfectly.... Gordon of course 😊. I've learnt soooooo much cooking skills from Gordon's videos on KZbin. And am sooooo chuffed when people ask and I say Gordon taught me 😁🤣🤣🥰❤️

[@ianthomas1060]

For years and years, I have admired Angela as an Iron chef. The work her, Gordon, Marcus et al did, makes them stand out and rightly so. Been in a special team myself working 16 hour days 6 days a week (not cooking) but after those 2 years doing it we became the most wanted in our skill set i know of UK wide.

[@yoellcall]

I loved this. So much more respect for Gordon. He’s a great human being…how he spoke about Angel? Beautiful respect. On my bucket list, to eat in one of their restaurants. Love from NZ

[@IGlowIFlow]

I love Gordon, he’s a beast. Unique. High energy, a little control freak with a good heart.

[@beetlebum1]

Gordon Ramsay is a good egg. I remember once I was with some friends outside a coffee shop on the Fulham Road, and a man passed out in the street, Ramsay was walking down the street and the first to come to the guy's rescue and dragged him back onto the pavement and made sure he was ok. Fast as a flash!

[@ChrisWatson-mc5mg]

That was a great chinwag to Gordon Ramsay just to hear about the GOAT chef of all time. Gordon Ramsay is my favourite chef ever.

[@Cloudyconfusion]

The last short I watched was him yelling at a cooking contestant “WHAT THE FUXK IS TIKTOK?!” 😂 I’m only just now realizing he was joking as he has one. Gotta love him 😂

[@applestrip]

I was never into podcasts, I am so glad these were released in video! Love the hosts, and with food involved, you certainly need more than just your sense of hearing for this. Been a fan of Gordon's and now more recently of Angela's. And yes, Nick!

[@wandagrayson646]

I’m glad Gordon Ramsay is showing his sense of humor. He seems like such a lovely, generous guy.

[@petesmart1983]

He's not he tried to sabotage so many careers including Marco Pierre white and hates female chefs

[@vernylee]

​@@petesmart1983 doubt angela feels he hates female chefs he taught her

[@chazgames3690]

@@vernyleealso he’s worked with many female chefs alongside many female chefs who got an executive chef role at some of his restaurants from Hell’s Kitchen

[@vernylee]

​@@chazgames3690 i know

[@upurkilt7246]

​@@petesmart1983Don talk so much absolute rubbish.

[@KushbiZ]

It must be so nice for Gordan to eat food by a Chef he has ABSOLUTELY no doubt about the food. Like, if he senses something wrong in the food he wouldn't question it because Angelia would have a completely logical answer to why she made that choice.

[@DaniB19819]

Well , I for some reason, am awake this morning here on Cape Cod , and something brought me to watch this episode , I'm so glad it did !! This was just great all around !!

[@maryhughes7929]

I was in Maze, a Gordon Ramsay restaurant in London a few years ago and it was phenomenal. The food was exquisite. He is amazing. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@codykay8712]

[@giorgosarifoglu953]

I think thats the best interview Chef has done yet. Very casual and light hearted and we get to see the real Gordon..so well done

I watched this episode of the several times, because I enjoyed the atmosphere of so much! The chemistry between you three is fenomenal! And how Angela and Gordon treat each other - priceless! ❤

[@Clean2113]

My ex-husband was a chef. Left uni and needed a job became a kitchen help. 12 years i watched him go up and up. Better restaurants all the way to sous chef with an ex tv chef. The 16-hour shifts killed him and our relationship. He manages a car dealership now. Still talks about the kitchen craic and holds fond memories. He says never again though. 😂 ended up with a drug and alchohol problem. What they dont tell you about is the drugs.

[@mirask8652]

Such a lovely episode, time flew by. It felt like a reunion of old friedns, which it was, but I just really like this sort of laid-back vibe and banter. At 8:39 looks like Angela is having Vietnam War Flashbacks playing out as Gordon speak, it must have been really brutal. Also Gordon has such a lively and fast-paced way of speaking that I can't help but be on my tiptoes to keep up.
