Apple TV+ Announces New Series From Celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsay

[MacRumors]

A new documentary series hailing from celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is coming to Apple TV+.

The eight-episode series "Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars" will follow elite chefs at some of the world's most celebrated restaurants, as they seek to win or maintain Michelin stars, the world's most prestigious culinary award.

The series will explore the high-stakes world of fine dining in cities such as Los Angeles, London, Mexico City, and Copenhagen. Adding to the suspense, Michelin's team of inspectors use false identities to dine anonymously.

The show will be hosted by award-winning food and travel expert, Jesse Burgess, and Ramsay will serve as one of the executive producers.

"There's no honor in any industry as prestigious and influential as the Michelin Star," said Burgess, in Apple's press release announcing the series today. "We are thrilled to have the opportunity to tell the stories of some of the most exciting restaurants in the world — as they throw everything, including the kitchen sink, at their obsessive quest for the ultimate award."

Ramsay is well known for his hit culinary shows like "Hell's Kitchen" and "Kitchen Nightmares."

"As a chef, the pursuit of perfection is everything, and you cannot underestimate the unbelievable drive and ambition, the determination and sacrifice these chefs are going through day in and day out, chasing the dream of acknowledgment from the Michelin Guide," said Ramsay.

Apple has yet to announce a release date for the series.

That… isn’t a photo of Gordon Ramsay?

 

[ChristianSelig]

Excuse me Jordan that is not Gordon Ramsay that looks like Gordo Ramsey

 

[Morod]

Good, one less reason for me to want Apple TV+.

 

[Attirex]

With recent exposure that these starred restaurants are miserable places to eat and work, not great timing?

 

[AdamHarbour]

Desperate times at apple! Did they ask Siri for ideas!

 

[nfl46]

Lmaooo! Bring this back! How did he get away with this foolishness.

 

[EBone12355]

Ramsay is a hack and his schtick of yelling at chefs and restaurant owners is played out.

 

[crisneat]

If Gordon Ramsay is going to yell at Michelin-starred chefs, the show might actually be fun.

Bad look for Apple IMO. Not a person I'd want to associate with my brand.

You don’t own the brand so. You don’t decide. And Apple is appealing more to a boarder audience then people who will be offended on what he says or do. We don’t want that

Siri and Apple Intelligence are f*cking raw

Ugh. I've been to a number of international/national Michelin restaurants and they are pretty much all glitz with food that isn't worth the price. I really try to avoid them.

 

[BarrettF77]

He is so over hyped it’s one of those you can’t take him seriously anymore type scenarios. I’m sure some will watch it. But it’s basically the same thing but with a slightly different seasoning. Not a new dish being served up here. Seems like a money grab, something Apple seems solely focused on these days sadly.

This series would be far more interesting if it also had Gordon's mentor, Marco Pierre White, also commentating and reminding us why he gave back all his Michelin stars and how happy he was once he got off that particular torturous ride.

I've been to one and it was exceptional, both the food and the experience.

 

[Mrkevinfinnerty]

Sounds like the kind of thing that should have it's own channel on Pluto TV

Ramsey is so boring

 

[ducknalddon]

This series would be far more interesting if it also had Gordon's mentor, Marco Pierre White, also commentating and reminding us why he gave back all his Michelin stars and how happy he was once he got off that particular torturous ride.

From Marco's wikipedia entry:

White also once made a young Gordon Ramsay cry while Ramsay worked for him, and later said, "I don't recall what he'd done wrong but I yelled at him and he lost it. Gordon crouched down in the corner of the kitchen, buried his head in his hands and started sobbing."

I'd sign up for Apple TV if I could watch that.

You… clearly haven't read the post?

 

[mrgraff]

Nowhere does this post say that the person in the photo is Gordon Ramsay. For the record, it's Jesse Burgess, the host of the show.

 

[orbital~debris]

I think this will likely be fascinating content. From a business and creativity perspective at the very least.

And anyone who thinks Gordon Ramsay is solely the character he 'plays' in many of his tv shows, isn't paying attention. The loud & angry attention-grabbing style he often exhibits, I would say, is the deliberate strategy of an incredibly astute chef, businessman and entertainer.

Yeah, he's not a "chef". His restaurants are terrible.

for ****** ******* ******

Gordon Ramsey’s swear jar should help Apple make up for the lost App Store revenue so it’s all good.
