The Sunday Times<\/em><\/a>, the 59-year-old celebrity chef was asked if he\u2019d ever consider creating smaller-portion menus for diners taking weight loss medications like Ozempic or Mounjaro. His answer? Not a chance.<\/p>\n\u201cThat is absolute bulls***,\u201d Ramsay declared. \u201cThere\u2019s no f****ing way we\u2019re giving in to the Mounjaro jab \u2026 The problem is with them [the diners] for eating too much in the first f\u2014ing place!\u201d<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t stop there. \u201cThere\u2019s no way that we\u2019re coming in with an Ozempic tasting menu to make you feel like less of a fat f*** by 10:30 in the evening,\u201d the Hell\u2019s Kitchen star added.<\/p>\n
His strong words come after fellow celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal announced that his three-Michelin-starred restaurant, The Fat Duck, would begin offering a new tasting experience called The Mindful Experience \u2014 a smaller-portion menu designed with diners on GLP-1 weight loss drugs in mind.<\/p>\n
Ozempic and Mounjaro were originally developed to treat Type 2 diabetes, but they\u2019ve quickly gained fame for their ability to help users shed pounds by mimicking hormones that control appetite and digestion. The drugs suppress hunger and slow down digestion, leaving users feeling fuller for longer \u2014 and sometimes, uninterested in large meals altogether.<\/p>\n
Still, Ramsay refuses to adapt his menus for the trend. Known for his no-nonsense approach to food, he believes the issue lies in moderation, not menu design.<\/p>\n
The celebrity chef also used the interview to vent about another modern dining headache \u2014 influencer culture. He blasted the growing number of restaurant-goers who prioritize photos over flavor. \u201cF\u2014ing ring lights and posting about how good the food is,\u201d he said, calling American diners the \u201cworst offenders\u201d for constantly taking pictures with their flash on.<\/p>\n
While Ramsay admitted that social media can help restaurants gain attention, he made it clear that he\u2019s not interested in turning his dining rooms into content studios.<\/p>\n
Ramsay, who stars in Hell\u2019s Kitchen, MasterChef, Gordon Ramsay\u2019s Secret Service <\/em>and Next Level Chef<\/em>, recently opened his newest fine dining restaurant, Bonheur, in London\u2019s Mayfair district. And if you\u2019re planning to visit, don\u2019t expect to find any TikTok filming in progress.<\/p>\n\u201cBonheur will not be flooded with TikTokers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
