A name is a funny thing. Well Done Chef.
Imagine my surprise, after tracking my stats for a couple of months, that the most popular piece that I have wrote on this site has to do with a rant against Gordon Ramsey and his stance on how a steak was cooked?
I still get about 60 hits a day on that post, which is pretty surprising. (Notice I did not specify HOW it was, as I do not want to skew SEO results towards that.)
Controversy creates news, but that is a post that I would not like to be assosicated with any more. You see, this site focuses on getting you behind the stove, cooking with nature and love, not on how some rock star chef likes his stupid steak. Or how it is wrong to order it, or how to cook a steak like that.
Don’t mistake me, I think Gordon Ramsey is the shit. He deserves to be up there, as high as he is. He had his share of troubles, but that is what one gets when they are up on a pedestal. People love to knock you down.
I am removing the post because the whole point of the day was – it does not matter how a person orders a steak. They paid for it. I don’t have to agree with it, but I do have to cook it.
Gordon made the same point in the video, but got caught up in the moment, and rightly took off. There was not an intelligent conversation to be had there. Continuing the discussion is not conducive to an intelligent site.
So, let’s move forward, and talk about what really matters. Doing something right, cooking the WDC way, with love, and loving every moment of it.
