Gordon Ramsay Offers A Job To A Chef In His Reddit AMA

Award-winning chef Gordon Ramsay surprised everyone during his first Reddit AMA (Ask-Me-Anything) when he offered a struggling chef the opportunity of a life-time: to work at one of his restaurants.

Last Sunday, April 19, Gordon Ramsay started a thread on Reddit allowing fans and aspiring chefs to ask him any question or advice. Ramsay did his best to offer solicitous answers to random questions such as how he likes his eggs to more serious ones such as advice to becoming a well-renowned chef. One of the most memorable exchange in the AMA is when a chef shared his brief life story explaining his struggles at home and at work.

The chef tells Ramsay about how his dreams are withering away as he works hour after hour in the kitchen while struggling with problems at home. He tells of his "deadbeat father" and miserable mother who can't help his little sister's "whoring ways." And his fear of the chef keeps him in the cold room, rotating the stock, despite getting frost bitten. He tells of how he is beginning to question his dedication to this art, but only the simple "thank you chef" could bring him relief, "making the previous 14-hours of sweat and tears kind of worthwhile," as he said. At the end of his speech, he offered Ramsay a very simple question, "How the f--k did you deal with all the bulls--t, Gordon?"

Chef Ramsay is known for being too strict, harsh, and frank with his fellow chefs especially in the TV series "Hell's Kitchen." Despite that fact, Ramsay seemed genuinely concerned with the struggling chef as he replied with a sincere advice of taking a break. "Never give up. But don't be scared to take a break," he wrote. Ramsay also shared his experience as a struggling chef and how taking a break taught him things he would not have learned otherwise.

Ramsay then told the chef, "Listen - if you send me your resume, I could look at putting you into one of the restaurants as a work experience, if you want to see something different, in order to make sure you don't come off the rails, to see something different, to create that level of interest."

Gordon Ramsay is a well-known chef and restaurateur with 25 restaurants worldwide. He also stars in the TV series "Hell's Kitchen," "MasterChef," "MasterChef Junior," "Hotel Hell", and "Kitchen Nightmares," and the upcoming CBBC show, "Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch," which he will star in with his 13-year-old daughter. He also assured fans that the April 19th Reddit AMA won't be the last, and that the next one would come soon.
