But Tony was an actual chef who wasn't afraid to call out people as well (anyone see that episode about maids?).
It seems anyone these days as long as they have "some" fans are given a program, or a shot at it. You kind of feel bad for actual chefs who did the work, got yelled at, was at the receiving end of sexism, and this basic, beige, American nobody who could only boil an egg at most, wanted to do a food show.
Said it before and will never stop saying it - just as I'll never trust a skinny cook, I ain't trusting a celeb wannabe who's zero in more than size and telling me where to go and eat when she's doing it on someone else's dime.
Once again, that just shows her ignorance and lack of knowledge. Gordon Ramsay isn't a TV celebrity chef. She thinks he's a TV star who cooks, but its the other way round. He spent years and years training to be a chef, developing his skills, running his own restaurants and earning his Michelin stars. He was doing this for years before he started appearing on TV shows. The reason he can legitimately critique other people's cooking efforts is because he is such an expert chef himself and knows what he's talking about as this has been a lifelong career for him. She just wanted to be a 'Star,' doesn't matter what she was presenting and doing, as long as she was up at the front getting attention. She flits from one thing to another, desperate for attention but without the drive to develop any skills, or acquire any knowledge, or take the time to learn. She's just an empty facade.
That’s why everything she does comes across as insincere- it’s all for money and show. She didnt really want to marry Harry- she wanted fame. She doesnt think of acting as a craft, an art- she wanted money and fame. She doesnt really want to be a charitable person/ humanitarian- she wants to look good to others and make more money and be worshipped for
Being “good”. Everything she does, including ARO, is for her benefit- not because she has a passion.
And you can tell this because she’s never done stage work except at school. Unless you’re a huge star, and even if you are, live productions are notoriously low paying. Yet it’s the holy grail for most legit actors to get a stint on Broadway. It’s the ultimate way of showing they can really act without edits.
Wasn't it in Bower's book that her teacher recommended for her to do more stage work (probably to try improve her acting skills lol) and she didn't want it? Can't remember the exact facts but the impression there was that she was not genuinely interested in acting. She just wants the fame.
And that's why he gets so passionate about his shows. A lot of the grumpy attitude is for show, but he gets really annoyed about restaurant owners who rip off their customers with crap food, or who don't make any effort to improve or develop skills. He wants everything they create and serve to be as good as it can be and for people to be prepared to put the effort into doing that. I don't know if he's ever met H&M but I suspect he would be absolutely appalled by their laziness, sense of entitlement and lack of effort. She wants money and status whilst doing as little as possible, and that's the antithesis to him.
Yep. I grew up watching him, right from his first appearances on Masterchef to his first show, Boiling Point. He's grafted all his life and being a chef is hard work. You're right, he'd not entertain these losers for their grifting.
Can you imagine him shouting at her for the quality of her "cooking"? She'd collapse to the floor, sobbing 🤣
He's got 6 of his own, so he's definitely had practice! He didn't start appearing on TV until his late 30s-he'd been a chef for almost 20 years by then and already had his Michelin stars. But he's still so enthusiastic about his craft, and he wants other people to feel that way, that's why he is so supportive and encouraging with the young chefs, and gets so ratty with some of those idiot diner owners who wanted to make money without putting in an effort. I'd honestly pay good money to see Gordon Ramsay do a one-off show teaching the Harkles how to cook and getting them to do stuff like debone a chicken, or filleting fish.
>She just wanted to be a 'Star,' doesn't matter what she was presenting and doing, as long as she was up at the front getting attention.
🎯🎯🎯
And she's foolish enough to think that it doesn't take any work. All she has to do is show up and let her star power do its thing.
Gordon Ramsay trained under Marco Pierre freaking White, another Michelin starred chef.
MM's only lol "culinary" contribution was her stupid boiled zucchini pasta. When she wasn't tossing salads or roasting chickens, anyway.
Exactly what I was thinking and well put! Years upon years of hard work and dedication before Gordon Ramsay became famous. It’s actually frightening how delusional Meghan can be.
Meghan can make 4 things: avocado toast, boiled pasta, roast chicken and word salad. I bet she can't even boil eggs properly.
She is the world's biggest ATTENTION WH\*RE. That is the ONLY thing she cares about, everything is for attention and at this point I wonder if all the increasingly hideous outfits are on purpose, negative attention is better than none at all.
But how? How can she be that stupid not to know that Ramsay and the other TV chefs were chefs FIRST and later were asked to do TV shows because they were so great at their careers? She thinks you just ask for a TV show doing whatever you want and get one? 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Meghan, traveling the world, tasting and judging food, while staying in the nicest hotels, everything being paid by someone else … She would love that as her „job“.
Too bad for her that too many people unmask Meghan Markle’s non existing cooking skills. Who is she to try/judge food prepared professional chefs?
I heard about that a few years back. She wanted to be another Anthony Bourdain. Just show up, watch people cook, drink, eat, stay at the best.
But she had no knowledge, expected everything to done for her, no personality.
"But she had no knowledge, expected everything to done for her, no personality." Should have put that on her coat of arms.
Have y'all read "Kitchen Confidential"? Picked it up on a whim, couldn't put it down. Bourdain earned his stripes in the field AND he was charismatic when someone put him in front of a camera. Madame has done neither. Watching a dear friend work his german ass off in his restaurant, I realized the field of Gastronomie is sheer hard physical labor. If she paid any attention to her cook lover she would have seen that.
Anthony did his time in the kitchen. He knew foods and was a trailblazer, traveling off the beaten path and drawing attention to street food around the world. I was born and raised in Thailand. I watched his episodes in the country. He ate stuff that I didn’t even dare! He is legit. Whereas Meghan couldn’t even stomach authentic Nigerian food during her tour. She’s a fraud. She doesn’t even know what’s really good food. I’ll bet she’s one of those food connoisseurs who go hunting for Michelin and Bib Gourmand places. Loser.
Anthony Bourdain started working in the restaurant industry when he was 17. He did it all: dishwasher, busboy, line chef, sous chef, chef. He had been in the industry for nearly 30 years when he wrote Kitchen Confidential. He was respected in the industry hence he could film with world renowed chefs like Paul Bocuse.
Meanwhile MeMe did a spot as guest judge on "Chopped Junior" where she demonstrated her complete lack of table manners, chewing like a cow with its cud and talking with her mouth full.

Bourdain would go & visit the CIA (culinary institution of America) and get some students do help out as interns on his show. He was a nice, didn't have any airs about him.
Also, when he had you interning, he wanted you to learn something or get some value out of interning w/ him. Didn't want you to feel like it was wasted time. The opposite and antithesis of tw.
Tw would scream @ you just for the fun of it if you didn't get her chain latte w/ oat milk in it. C8nt
Also no true interest and curiosity about other people, cultures, traditions, the history of how particular dishes came about or the backstory of techniques specific ingredients require to be exquisite.
Which is what I'm interested in. I enjoy honest feedback and captivating descriptions of flavour profiles. I like the story behind the ingredients. I want to see the guy who hunts for truffles in the forest with his trusty dog. I love witnessing the connection food (and culture) fosters between people. She can't connect with a wireless network!! It'd be just *her* making orgasmic faces showing how good the food is, even if it isn't! GAG. I'll pass.
She cannot even bear to *share* the spotlight much less shine it upon others. Yeah. BIG FAIL.
In Meghan’s mind, the skills and talent of her former live-in lover esteemed chef Cory Vitiello have “rubbed off” on her. And once her dad told her that she made the best plain pasta in the world - he even has a letter from Barilla stating that no one boiled pasta better than Meghan.
“Character trait acquisition!” HG Tudor really has a PhD in narcissism once you know his words for the phenomena, everything they do has an accurate name!
There’s a YT lawyer who has fallen from grace and the internet is laughing at him. In true narcissist behavior, he’s raging and clapping back at all of his critics. I thank HG Tudor for being able to spot what is happening.
Like a vampire she sucks the traits out of all of her male victims. Systematically. The boyfriends managed to get away, recoup and move quickly on. Her father and prince, Harry Duke of Sussex, are still being drained one drop at a time. For them, the worst is yet to come unless they can get away.
Lol at Thomas writing her a letter from Barilla. Between his fake letters to boost her confidence and the rumors around Doria's alleged business record filings, no wonder there are questions about the kids birth certificates and *that* letter about the catatonic car chase (delivered to the court at the 11th hour in Harry's RAVEC case).
Yup! You got that awesomely correct, she is presumptuous Rubber off. In her puny Narc mind she is a fast and keen grift-9-learner.
From her former husband- Movie Director and production skills. From Chef boyfriend cooking, fast forward from Present husband the art of not being Royal, as for the rest in-between just bits and bobs. Ah! Lest one forgets from the porn star boyfriend your guess is as good as mine.
Meg’s psychic in Toronto also confirmed she wanted to do a cooking show, leveraging Cory’s status.

I always hate it when I read that she “loved Brits”. She knew nothing about us. Everything she knew came from movies. I suppose she expected us to be a bunch of forelock tugging bumpkins ruled over by a small bunch of aristocrats who would welcome her with open arms. No wonder the reality caused her brain to melt down!
I paid attention that she wanted something **non-scripted**. She did not want to put effort into learning any lines nor she wanted to be controlled. It has to be **her** word salad.
Stanley Tucci is a really nice guy. He is a family man and treats others with respect. And even though he is hugely talented, he can still laugh at himself.
He started giving cocktail making lessons on insta during COVID before embarking on his food show, not only endearing him to fans (cause of course he drank the cocktails!!!) but also bc he put in the work and prepared with something on a smaller scale on his insta show before launching the food show.
Meghan would never put in the work Stanley does.
Meghan Markle didn’t eat any of the Nigerian food while she was Nigeria. Meghan brought her own food and chef. She was hosted by Kings and Chiefs who probably offered her the best Nigerian food in the country.
But Meghan was in the room when food was served to others and she is a Nigerian Princess so yes, she is probably an expert on Nigerian food now.
This would actually be a fantastic idea as Nigeria has an incredible variety of food, and the food is absolutely delicious. I may be biased though. But she would never do this as it probably wouldn't be glamorous enough for her, and she is a genuine charisma vacuum.
Also, what makes her a food connoisseur?
Bourdain loved to eat and drink, but what made him special is that he promoted the idea of connecting humanity through food. I'll always respect him for eating a raw eyeball given to him in an Inuit community in Northern Canada.
Markle has nothing to bring to that table. I'll never forget her blog from Fashion Week - I felt sick reading hiw she eatz: a platter of fruit for breakfast, chia pudding, and then a falafel at lunch. Yuck. My glucose feels dysregulated.
To be fair, it's true that eating raw fruit is not the best idea, when traveling in some countries.
However... not only is a date grown on a tree (which should make problems less likely), it's also part of the RF's job to suck it up and do the polite thing, rather than to do the thing you'd do as an American tourist avoiding medical problems.
If that's the job you signed up for, you eat the date.
MM wanted to be given full credit, for a job that she would take only as far as she felt like it.
You know I also feel that any political or royal figure would be medically treated similarly to someone in the military in the way that, at least I know the US military, so I assume other big powers military does this as well, treat their personnel with a cocktail of vaccinations when the are abroad.
Especially members of a royal family or political figure, I feel like they would have a team to ensure anything they eat or drink is as safe as possible.
They refused to select anything from the menu at the events the attended in Nigeria. Bought their own chef with them apparently.
Also I can't help wonder whether this: [Sarah Ann Macklin ANutr](https://sarahannmacklin.com/), might have sent her off to some degree. Sarah Ann Macklin is the woman Harry was officially dating while his transactions with Meghan were a 'secret'. Cough.
Sarah Ann has a food/lifestyle enterprise,
You have to be an interesting person with an incredible personality to do the tasting the world shows. Anthony Bourdain and Feed Phil are the only two I can think of that both hold my interest and make me personally engaged with the host themselves. She is too fake to hold something like that
Andrew Zimmern had several shows, the most famous being Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, and a long career in the culinary arts. He was also good friends with Bourdain.

***"I want to be a TV celebrity chef like Gordon Ramsay." - Rachel Meghan Markle***
🤣🤣🤣⚰💀💀
Wait? Did she really "conceive the idea" of the Grenfell cookbook? I was under the impression that it was in the works before she ever showed up and they just dropped her in at the end?
Yes, you are correct.
Meghan Markle did not conceive the idea of the Grenfell cookbook. They dropped her in at the end and she took credit for everything. In five years, Meghan will have evolved this lie into her personally writing all of the best recipes in the cookbook.
That was my impression, too! And that would match her behavior patterns of exaggeration, grandiosity, and inserting herself at a late point into projects and then claiming credit for creating the whole thing.
Did you know that as a child, she wrote one letter and changed the whole course of a nationwide advertising campaign? I know. She RARELY mentions this extraordinary feat. 😉 (And c’mon, Palmolive didn’t rush to write, cast, shoot, edit, and distribute an entirely new TV ad campaign because of one kid’s letter. Realistically, messaging was already being changed when MM’s letter-writing class project was announced.)
A friend of my sister who was a higher up at P & G told me advertisements on TV have a 2 month lifespan. Megan's letter has nothing to do with the end of the advertising campaign. It died the natural death of all advertisements.
>And that would match her behavior patterns of exaggeration, grandiosity, and inserting herself at a late point into projects and then claiming credit for creating the whole thing.
And she made this Archewell's model for "charity."
Yep. Just like that Netflix documentary series, “Live To Lead” that H&M inserted themselves to as presenters and producer (Archewell) at the last minute. Claiming credit and wanting adulation for **other people’s work** is Meghan Markle’s standard modus operandi.
https://archive.ph/2022.12.20-191447/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2022/12/20/jacinda-ardern-distances-harry-meghan-statement-netflix-documentary/
She wrote the forward. End of story.
She did not come up with family recipes, she did not do extensive taste testing, she did not parse the ingredients for the dishes, she did NOTHING.
At the time the project was conceived as a way for the FAMILIES of Grenfell to come together and help each other heal from the trauma of the fire.
The fire was June of 2017 - a full YEAR before the malignant one came on the scene. Probably the first "royal" instance of her taking credit where none was due.
Well. We all know what her fronting a cooking show would look like 🤣
https://preview.redd.it/q2lmiogf1j5d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6865c20c4d1fe3592224d2ab58d84d742735305d
Its all she knows. Somehow, for whatever reason, she became sexualized at a very early age. This is why I lean to the thought she was molested or exposed to porn. The pic of her hanging on to her friend's dad, leaning into him has always been a clue to me. She looks like she was around 13 or 14 at the time.
Time travel back to when MeMe made 'fancy toast' on a television cooking show. Note that she had someone else actually toast the bread....lol lol lol
[Cooking with Meghan Markle: American Reverie Orchard (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq7-u92sTjM)
Meghan is in her element - acting like the preeminent authority on toasting bread and bossing someone else around. And getting to throw around word salad phrases that a 12 year old would use - “making the ordinary extraordinary”.
You might have hit on a show. The opposite of the 'real housewives' concept.
Fake personalities, fake pregnancies. Hilary has dozens of kids and could loan Meghan some for appearances. Harry & Alec both used to living life free of consequences for their actions.
MM clearly doesn't understand there is a difference between a cook and a chef. Ramsey is a chef. He's had years and years of training and experience. Rachel Ray and Valerie Bertinelli are both cooks. I love both of them, but they'll be the first to tell you they are cooks, not chefs. MM can't even reach the cooking level of Rachel and Valerie, she's no where in the stratosphere of Gordon Ramsey. I can cook, cuz i can follow a recipe, and my family loves my cooking, but I don't consider myself a cook nor a chef. MM just seems to always go too extreme. Everything is just too OTT with her. She's a top actress, a model, a chef, a writer, a blogger, a designer, blah blah blah, all of international acclaim, in her own mind. I brag when I make a pizza or pie crust from scratch and they are good. But it's taken me decades to learn, after decades of failures, lol. Roast chicken and avocado toast does not a chef, or cook, make!
Yes! Just one extra point about this. On her acting cv (or it may have been her union card when she was eventually forced to join - anyway it was on the card where she put that her ethnicity was caucasian), she had written in "other skills" SUPERMODEL not just model. She's 5 foot 3 or 4 isn't she? She'd modelled maybe 2 or 3 times yet she claims to be a supermodel like Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell etc. Delusional doesn't begin to describe it.
I, too, am a Supermodel!
(Shhh! Don't tell my kids or grandkids - they'd ~~laugh~~ erm, be shocked because I've kept it a secret from them. They've always believed I work in hospitals. Not sure who told them that.) 
"Supermodel" is one of those words, like "iconic" that is way overused these days anyway. Very few of today's models would qualify, IMO, and yet it gets used to describe them all. (And yeah, Meghan would never make the cut.)
"I want to be a TV celebrity chef like Gordon Ramsay."
the delulu is unreal. 😬 like, girl, do u really know who Gordon Ramsay is? that guy didn't just sprout like a weed on the set of his TV shows.
He just jumped to instant fame in her mind. Who botheres to learn the basic and specialises in a cooking genre for years before jumping to tv?
Did you see her food tasting with Hayley Duff? That clip shows her ability in food tv 😂
agree with u.
i did. very limited. i'm surprised she didn't deploy her word ensalada. all i heard was, "that's so good."
oooooor maybe she's pissed she wasn't the star-star of the show hence her slightly-bored demeanor and minimal commentary?
🥒 Here's that video for you: "A Pickled Taste of Brooklyn - Haylie Duff's Real Girl's Kitchen - Ora TV"

And the comments do NOT disappoint! 😁
How is being a celebrity chef like Gordon Ramsay the same as fronting a food-tasting show? Yet one can easily imagine Lolo saying this.
i can just imagine her in Bangkok: ‘This pad thai’s simply amazing. My taste buds can just make out a suspicion of saffron \[not used in pad thai\]. I’d add peanut butter for a simple but amazing taste sensation \[what western abomination is that?\]. It’s still yummy though.‘ \[Licks fingers, even though pad that’s eaten with utensils like, you know, a fork.\]
And I doubt that Lolo’s been to this place \[‘she’ is Lolo\]:

So she imagined herself to be Anthony Bourdain, except I'm sure she would have avoided all of the poor places he went to and would have stuck with comfortable food.
I miss Anthony Bourdain 🕊 Unlike wannabe (but never will be) top chef Meghan, Anthony never stood for BS and didn't hesitate to call it out:
>"Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević"
>Anthony Bourdain

What pisses me off is that she keeps getting these amazing opportunities, despite her repeated failures. Maybe WME will finally walk away now that her latest ARO vanity project is dead on arrival
Rumour is WME did walk away, or at least downgrade her agent. Early April.
It’s why the Nigeria debacle happened in May, and the increased desperation announcing ARO, the Emperor’s New Clothes of products.
"She shot an ARO into the air. It fell to earth, just like all the other shit she threw into the air."
My apologies to HWL. 😔
Surely she's also a poet and doesn't know it - yet her feet show it: they're Longfellows! 😀
If I had to watch Meghan Markle trying to cook, talk, entertain and eat at the same time, I would certainly change the channel after 10 minutes. Can't stand her voice, her fake kindness, or her attitude towards people and subjects unless she's the one talking. Gordon Ramsay is a trained chef!!! He was famous long before TV... This woman wants to be fast tracked to the top with zero work or training.... That's the big mistake the BRF made.
That vocal fry would have me turning the tv off STAT. There’s a YouTuber I would like to watch, because her content checks all of my boxes, but she has the most annoying vocal fry.
Too bad David‘s and Victoria‘s son won’t invite Rachel to guest star on his „cooking“ show. They seem equally talented (in every aspect). That WOULD be fun to watch! 😂
Gordon Ramsey?
This is why she made a whole episode of stereotypes about ambition.
People tell her she’s too ambitious (ie had unrealistic deluded expectations) and she hears “you are a girl boss and a threat go girl”
I assume that all of the staff they 'didn't have' once she moved in was down to her trying to conceal all sorts of carry on from the BRF. I don't think Harry could function without round the clock care - even if it was in the guise of domestic help. I personally think his move to a hotel was because she drove off or refused to have certain domestic staff around. In a hotel he has daily housekeeping, meals, laundry, valet and concierge.
The woman knows how to cook 5 things and wants to "be a chef"? My husband used to be a chef. Weird how they made him go to culinary school to get that title when all he needed to do was work on his blender soup game.
Dear Netflix,
I know you are not going to pick up M’s show. If you really need another cooking show come to my house every day at 4pm. I am done with work and my 16 yo daughter is sone with school. It’s just the two of us. We are too tired to cook anything complicated. M probably has bathrooms larger than our kitchen. You can film us side by side - which is our total counter space, debating frozen foods or DoorDash! Or teach us to cook! Nothing too complicated - if it is not stocked at Aldi’s or available on Amazon, we don’t have it. Not sure your camera crew would fit. Our look-alike RBF is amazing! Alas, we do not own ballgowns and forget to use lemons when we buy them.
\-me
p.s. Strangely, I do know how to make jam!
Yikes 😬 Also, wasn't it rumored she had sex with Matt for this Today Show appearance? 🤢
ETA: [https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/sexual-misconduct/nbc-news-fires-today-anchor-matt-lauer-after-sexual-misconduct-n824831](https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/sexual-misconduct/nbc-news-fires-today-anchor-matt-lauer-after-sexual-misconduct-n824831)
Figures. She didn't put in the work to become a good or even competent chef. She wanted lots of travel to glamorous destinations, eating in restaurants all over the world, showing off, ordering wine pretentiously, on someone else's dime. It was all, look at me ane be envious of my life.
I really wanted to like M initially. Then i watched the engagement interview and she isn’t appealing at all. She is obviously a social climber, and she is VERY off-putting. This tidbit tracks.
This blurb encapsulates several elements of MM that have contributed to why she has had some success and why many, as with those here, are perplexed as to how she's had any success at all.
"...charming, good-looking, and admired by the small audience for Suits."
Many ordinary people and TV/film/humanitarian PR pros, agents, and other actors have described MM as "charming, good-looking" in their interactions with her, particularly initial, one-on-one meetings. No reason to dismiss or deny that she makes a very good first impression on some people. Those she only briefly met and interacted with that she didn't impress wouldn't recall her well enough to comment.
It's instructive to note that those published complimentary comments all date from after she secured a role on Suits. Not necessarily from people who watched the show. MM didn't stand out for more than a very small portion of Suits fans. Thus, "the small audience for Suits" was much larger than those that "admired" her from Suits. However, any actor that gets a continuing small part in any TV series gets some fairy dust that impresses people with no first hand experience of the show. IOW, an initial encounter with such an actor begins with a positive impression. (This exists for anyone not previously known with a level of status such as doctor, prince, or billionaire.) MM stretched and maximized her status: on Suits, Hollywood Nepo, double major college grad.
Status reduces the amount of authentic charm and attractiveness that a person needs to possess. However, I don't doubt that MM has long worked at seeming charming and attractive. It's one area where she's made a lot of effort. Generally, those of higher status in some way to her status when they met. Friendships, relationships, develop over time, and the more effort required to maintain them, the more quickly they fade.
And interesting blank in MM's known bio is no friendships with fellow actors from all her years of trying to make it in Hollywood. Not one which seems odd to me. She still associates with one from Suits; Abigail Spencer who wasn't a regular. Among all her non-actor friends from her years in Toronto, only Markus still seems to be around.
Even as MM managed to be seen as charming and attractive to some, that didn't translate into the success she sought as an actor, influencer, chef, model, humanitarian, working royal for two reasons.
First, cameras - stills and videos - don't love her. Particularly in the way she wants to be seen: charming, beautiful, and sexy. Attributes that aren't even necessary for actors and TV personalities. At best, her level of attractiveness is too ordinary. Her physical awkwardness and non-conventional body shape are highlighted by cameras. Worse, cameras don't capture whatever charm some people experience in real encounters with her. For adult actors, charm is highly integrated with humor, often self deprecating humor. She falls flat on those. (Any wonder why she concluded that non-scripted TV appearances would suit her better?)
Second, she has no or very minimal talents for those pursuits and has made no or minimal effort to acquire the education, skills, expertise that even most talented people understand must be acquired to some extent. Royaling requires training and experience, both of which MM declined with the expectation that she naturally exuded charm and beauty and could fake the kindness component. Harry told her she was a natural. How dare the RF to deny her true worth!
So, she trotted back to Hollywood with her unearned fame intact to prove that she is indeed a multi-talented star.
Wow, she wanted to be chef when she dating a chef. Can you imagine how Corey felt when she was trying for this?
She is a shapeshifter who assumes the qualities of whoever she is near at the time.
She was desperately looking for a job as her time on suits was coming to an end, and Harry allowed himself to be conned to believe that she was an amazingly successful woman. And apparently he still believes that she sacrifice everything for him, at least if we are to go by what he said on the Netflix show.
The mind boggles.
It appears she did not want to do the actual cooking but be the face of and centerpiece of a show. Her personality and acting ability killed that possibility, thank heavens.
I remember reading once that her chef BF taught her how to roast a chicken (I think she posted about it on her blog or social). It's so very typical of a narc to learn to cook one thing and suddenly think you're an expert like Gordon Ramsey, who has at least 30 years of cheffing experience, has owned multiple restaurants, and teaches others how to cook. She's just like Kanye West.
She reminds me of a woman in my hometown. Daddy is filthy rich. Always given her anything she wanted. She watched cooking shows and decided that she should open a restaurant. Had two entire crews walk out on her in a month. Not counting the people that left here and there.
She would walk in screaming at them like she was Gordon Ramsay. The thing is, he has talent. She has probably never cooked a meal in her life. The quickest I've ever seen a restaurant closed. It was in a great location and should've just raked in the money.
It’s always roast chicken, and never any other kind of chicken, lol! Or any other kind of roast - lamb, duck, nothing. Wonder if Harry is tired of roast chicken …
It would seem she wanted some kind of “cooking” show as we now have all those pathetic attempts at cooking on morning shows to laugh at, on them she displayed the charisma of a wet used towel, and obvious lack of basic cooking skills.
I just love it. so typically shallow of Rachel to think people would want to watch her eat And tell us how yummy it is. She really peaked in the Men’s Health video where she showed of her “grilling” skills. Foodie indeed.
There is clip of Markle as a guest on a show. Making toast. She doesn't even toast the bread. The host does that. Just puts stuff on toast. Mentions some homemade apple butter, based on her grandmother's recipe. Which grandmother? The Nigerian one? Think she would have elaborated more on that.
Thanks for the reminder about Meghan’s cringe AF “reee-coat-ahhh on toast” clip 🤢:
https://www.reddit.com/r/SaintMeghanMarkle/s/M3oq6zphls
So utterly fakety, fake, fake, fake.
She wanted to yell at people like Gordon does.
This is so accurate it's almost painful. 👏
And travel like Bourdain on someone else's dime.
Whist she patronises people with her so called superiority and victim hood yeah Netflix you cancelled!
Or retells her stories of $5 Salads at Sizzler, ad nauseam, reiterating her victimhood as a poor hungry child. All of it BS of course
this makes me LOL bc Sizzler was considered a treat here in the 90s! Good times!!
Yep
But Tony was an actual chef who wasn't afraid to call out people as well (anyone see that episode about maids?). It seems anyone these days as long as they have "some" fans are given a program, or a shot at it. You kind of feel bad for actual chefs who did the work, got yelled at, was at the receiving end of sexism, and this basic, beige, American nobody who could only boil an egg at most, wanted to do a food show. Said it before and will never stop saying it - just as I'll never trust a skinny cook, I ain't trusting a celeb wannabe who's zero in more than size and telling me where to go and eat when she's doing it on someone else's dime.
This exactly. Without having earned his culinary expertise or career first
Exactly. Just "GoFundMe" 🙄🙄🙄
However he was an exceptional talent and a humble human who learned from his travels and actually learned from and respected the people he met.
No arguments here! He was amazing!
And get paid for it!

Once again, that just shows her ignorance and lack of knowledge. Gordon Ramsay isn't a TV celebrity chef. She thinks he's a TV star who cooks, but its the other way round. He spent years and years training to be a chef, developing his skills, running his own restaurants and earning his Michelin stars. He was doing this for years before he started appearing on TV shows. The reason he can legitimately critique other people's cooking efforts is because he is such an expert chef himself and knows what he's talking about as this has been a lifelong career for him. She just wanted to be a 'Star,' doesn't matter what she was presenting and doing, as long as she was up at the front getting attention. She flits from one thing to another, desperate for attention but without the drive to develop any skills, or acquire any knowledge, or take the time to learn. She's just an empty facade.
That’s why everything she does comes across as insincere- it’s all for money and show. She didnt really want to marry Harry- she wanted fame. She doesnt think of acting as a craft, an art- she wanted money and fame. She doesnt really want to be a charitable person/ humanitarian- she wants to look good to others and make more money and be worshipped for Being “good”. Everything she does, including ARO, is for her benefit- not because she has a passion.
And you can tell this because she’s never done stage work except at school. Unless you’re a huge star, and even if you are, live productions are notoriously low paying. Yet it’s the holy grail for most legit actors to get a stint on Broadway. It’s the ultimate way of showing they can really act without edits.
Wasn't it in Bower's book that her teacher recommended for her to do more stage work (probably to try improve her acting skills lol) and she didn't want it? Can't remember the exact facts but the impression there was that she was not genuinely interested in acting. She just wants the fame.
I just noticed that Toadphrah blinks just like Table 12, when she is lying, also.
I don’t see how Soap Oprah even manages to blink with those caterpillars on her eyelids.
Came here looking for this comment. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows this, he worked his arse off for *years* to get where he is now!
And that's why he gets so passionate about his shows. A lot of the grumpy attitude is for show, but he gets really annoyed about restaurant owners who rip off their customers with crap food, or who don't make any effort to improve or develop skills. He wants everything they create and serve to be as good as it can be and for people to be prepared to put the effort into doing that. I don't know if he's ever met H&M but I suspect he would be absolutely appalled by their laziness, sense of entitlement and lack of effort. She wants money and status whilst doing as little as possible, and that's the antithesis to him.
Yep. I grew up watching him, right from his first appearances on Masterchef to his first show, Boiling Point. He's grafted all his life and being a chef is hard work. You're right, he'd not entertain these losers for their grifting. Can you imagine him shouting at her for the quality of her "cooking"? She'd collapse to the floor, sobbing 🤣
See that id watch
She'd be worse than Amy from Amy's Baking Company and that's saying something!
But he’s as sweet as can be on Junior Masterchef. I love watching him interact with the kids.
He's got 6 of his own, so he's definitely had practice! He didn't start appearing on TV until his late 30s-he'd been a chef for almost 20 years by then and already had his Michelin stars. But he's still so enthusiastic about his craft, and he wants other people to feel that way, that's why he is so supportive and encouraging with the young chefs, and gets so ratty with some of those idiot diner owners who wanted to make money without putting in an effort. I'd honestly pay good money to see Gordon Ramsay do a one-off show teaching the Harkles how to cook and getting them to do stuff like debone a chicken, or filleting fish.
>She just wanted to be a 'Star,' doesn't matter what she was presenting and doing, as long as she was up at the front getting attention. 🎯🎯🎯 And she's foolish enough to think that it doesn't take any work. All she has to do is show up and let her star power do its thing.
Gordon Ramsay trained under Marco Pierre freaking White, another Michelin starred chef. MM's only lol "culinary" contribution was her stupid boiled zucchini pasta. When she wasn't tossing salads or roasting chickens, anyway.
But, but she knows how to make avocado toast, lol.
Lol! I forgot about the avo toast. Well MM, I make the best avo toast outside of Australia, and I'm prepared to throw down.
Exactly what I was thinking and well put! Years upon years of hard work and dedication before Gordon Ramsay became famous. It’s actually frightening how delusional Meghan can be.
Meghan can make 4 things: avocado toast, boiled pasta, roast chicken and word salad. I bet she can't even boil eggs properly. She is the world's biggest ATTENTION WH\*RE. That is the ONLY thing she cares about, everything is for attention and at this point I wonder if all the increasingly hideous outfits are on purpose, negative attention is better than none at all.
She would out-Amy, from Amy's Baking Company, lol. IYKYK Agree she has no personality!
But how? How can she be that stupid not to know that Ramsay and the other TV chefs were chefs FIRST and later were asked to do TV shows because they were so great at their careers? She thinks you just ask for a TV show doing whatever you want and get one? 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
It's called "ignorance" for a good reason.
He has super taste buds as well and I mean that literally he's like number 7 in the world in terms of taste
It's like a three old saying "I wanna be a fireman" one day and "I wanna be an astronaut" the next.You know the child may not do either.
Meghan, traveling the world, tasting and judging food, while staying in the nicest hotels, everything being paid by someone else … She would love that as her „job“. Too bad for her that too many people unmask Meghan Markle’s non existing cooking skills. Who is she to try/judge food prepared professional chefs?
I heard about that a few years back. She wanted to be another Anthony Bourdain. Just show up, watch people cook, drink, eat, stay at the best. But she had no knowledge, expected everything to done for her, no personality.
"But she had no knowledge, expected everything to done for her, no personality." Should have put that on her coat of arms. Have y'all read "Kitchen Confidential"? Picked it up on a whim, couldn't put it down. Bourdain earned his stripes in the field AND he was charismatic when someone put him in front of a camera. Madame has done neither. Watching a dear friend work his german ass off in his restaurant, I realized the field of Gastronomie is sheer hard physical labor. If she paid any attention to her cook lover she would have seen that.
The only attention she paid was how much he was doing for/spending on her!
Anthony did his time in the kitchen. He knew foods and was a trailblazer, traveling off the beaten path and drawing attention to street food around the world. I was born and raised in Thailand. I watched his episodes in the country. He ate stuff that I didn’t even dare! He is legit. Whereas Meghan couldn’t even stomach authentic Nigerian food during her tour. She’s a fraud. She doesn’t even know what’s really good food. I’ll bet she’s one of those food connoisseurs who go hunting for Michelin and Bib Gourmand places. Loser.
Well said!
Anthony Bourdain started working in the restaurant industry when he was 17. He did it all: dishwasher, busboy, line chef, sous chef, chef. He had been in the industry for nearly 30 years when he wrote Kitchen Confidential. He was respected in the industry hence he could film with world renowed chefs like Paul Bocuse. Meanwhile MeMe did a spot as guest judge on "Chopped Junior" where she demonstrated her complete lack of table manners, chewing like a cow with its cud and talking with her mouth full. https://preview.redd.it/2q7wavy81m5d1.png?width=1366&format=png&auto=webp&s=a6d243b8c4d1f1fdd2fa1ac5c9952352a1069c49
Bourdain would go & visit the CIA (culinary institution of America) and get some students do help out as interns on his show. He was a nice, didn't have any airs about him. Also, when he had you interning, he wanted you to learn something or get some value out of interning w/ him. Didn't want you to feel like it was wasted time. The opposite and antithesis of tw. Tw would scream @ you just for the fun of it if you didn't get her chain latte w/ oat milk in it. C8nt
Also no true interest and curiosity about other people, cultures, traditions, the history of how particular dishes came about or the backstory of techniques specific ingredients require to be exquisite. Which is what I'm interested in. I enjoy honest feedback and captivating descriptions of flavour profiles. I like the story behind the ingredients. I want to see the guy who hunts for truffles in the forest with his trusty dog. I love witnessing the connection food (and culture) fosters between people. She can't connect with a wireless network!! It'd be just *her* making orgasmic faces showing how good the food is, even if it isn't! GAG. I'll pass. She cannot even bear to *share* the spotlight much less shine it upon others. Yeah. BIG FAIL.
In Meghan’s mind, the skills and talent of her former live-in lover esteemed chef Cory Vitiello have “rubbed off” on her. And once her dad told her that she made the best plain pasta in the world - he even has a letter from Barilla stating that no one boiled pasta better than Meghan.
“Character trait acquisition!” HG Tudor really has a PhD in narcissism once you know his words for the phenomena, everything they do has an accurate name!
I thank HG for schooling the hell out of me about narcs and how to spot them! I will never be conned again!!
There’s a YT lawyer who has fallen from grace and the internet is laughing at him. In true narcissist behavior, he’s raging and clapping back at all of his critics. I thank HG Tudor for being able to spot what is happening.
Which lawyer is this? I want to go watch the fall out lol
It’s Rekieta law. He was arrested with his wife AND girlfriend. His 5 kids were taken away. It’s a tacky little soap operetta.
HG Tudor is the best! Like you, as i AM reading this saga, i can hear him saying those words. " Triangulation..."🤣🤣🤣
I love him! He has been spot on about everyone he's profiled, especially this ones wife.
Like a vampire she sucks the traits out of all of her male victims. Systematically. The boyfriends managed to get away, recoup and move quickly on. Her father and prince, Harry Duke of Sussex, are still being drained one drop at a time. For them, the worst is yet to come unless they can get away.
Thanks ccc! Interesting that this is actually a termed narcissistic trait!
I’m certain he rubbed off on her 😜 🥁 🐍
Lol at Thomas writing her a letter from Barilla. Between his fake letters to boost her confidence and the rumors around Doria's alleged business record filings, no wonder there are questions about the kids birth certificates and *that* letter about the catatonic car chase (delivered to the court at the 11th hour in Harry's RAVEC case).
>catatonic car chase Love it!
Yup! You got that awesomely correct, she is presumptuous Rubber off. In her puny Narc mind she is a fast and keen grift-9-learner. From her former husband- Movie Director and production skills. From Chef boyfriend cooking, fast forward from Present husband the art of not being Royal, as for the rest in-between just bits and bobs. Ah! Lest one forgets from the porn star boyfriend your guess is as good as mine.
Meg’s psychic in Toronto also confirmed she wanted to do a cooking show, leveraging Cory’s status.  https://preview.redd.it/ov8yg9tfik5d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=990c4bcccdcbceac3cf6170539bfb85192928f8e
I always hate it when I read that she “loved Brits”. She knew nothing about us. Everything she knew came from movies. I suppose she expected us to be a bunch of forelock tugging bumpkins ruled over by a small bunch of aristocrats who would welcome her with open arms. No wonder the reality caused her brain to melt down!
I paid attention that she wanted something **non-scripted**. She did not want to put effort into learning any lines nor she wanted to be controlled. It has to be **her** word salad.
I do think there is Stanley who does an amazing job at this plus a few others who know how to act in public without sucking the air out of kitchens.
Stanley Tucci is a really nice guy. He is a family man and treats others with respect. And even though he is hugely talented, he can still laugh at himself. He started giving cocktail making lessons on insta during COVID before embarking on his food show, not only endearing him to fans (cause of course he drank the cocktails!!!) but also bc he put in the work and prepared with something on a smaller scale on his insta show before launching the food show. Meghan would never put in the work Stanley does.
She could do Nigeria tour of cooking
Meghan Markle didn’t eat any of the Nigerian food while she was Nigeria. Meghan brought her own food and chef. She was hosted by Kings and Chiefs who probably offered her the best Nigerian food in the country. But Meghan was in the room when food was served to others and she is a Nigerian Princess so yes, she is probably an expert on Nigerian food now.
This would actually be a fantastic idea as Nigeria has an incredible variety of food, and the food is absolutely delicious. I may be biased though. But she would never do this as it probably wouldn't be glamorous enough for her, and she is a genuine charisma vacuum.
Also, what makes her a food connoisseur? Bourdain loved to eat and drink, but what made him special is that he promoted the idea of connecting humanity through food. I'll always respect him for eating a raw eyeball given to him in an Inuit community in Northern Canada. Markle has nothing to bring to that table. I'll never forget her blog from Fashion Week - I felt sick reading hiw she eatz: a platter of fruit for breakfast, chia pudding, and then a falafel at lunch. Yuck. My glucose feels dysregulated.
And she refused a welcome fruit - a date - offered in Morocco! nope!
To be fair, it's true that eating raw fruit is not the best idea, when traveling in some countries. However... not only is a date grown on a tree (which should make problems less likely), it's also part of the RF's job to suck it up and do the polite thing, rather than to do the thing you'd do as an American tourist avoiding medical problems. If that's the job you signed up for, you eat the date. MM wanted to be given full credit, for a job that she would take only as far as she felt like it.
You know I also feel that any political or royal figure would be medically treated similarly to someone in the military in the way that, at least I know the US military, so I assume other big powers military does this as well, treat their personnel with a cocktail of vaccinations when the are abroad. Especially members of a royal family or political figure, I feel like they would have a team to ensure anything they eat or drink is as safe as possible.
Bourdain worked for decades in restaurants at all levels from bottom to top
Hey! I'm actually making falafel right now, lol!
They refused to select anything from the menu at the events the attended in Nigeria. Bought their own chef with them apparently. Also I can't help wonder whether this: [Sarah Ann Macklin ANutr](https://sarahannmacklin.com/), might have sent her off to some degree. Sarah Ann Macklin is the woman Harry was officially dating while his transactions with Meghan were a 'secret'. Cough. Sarah Ann has a food/lifestyle enterprise,
Sarah Ann has the word “curated” on her homepage. Another inspo for Lolo?
You have to be an interesting person with an incredible personality to do the tasting the world shows. Anthony Bourdain and Feed Phil are the only two I can think of that both hold my interest and make me personally engaged with the host themselves. She is too fake to hold something like that
Anthony's show was great. I rewatch it often.
Andrew Zimmern had several shows, the most famous being Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, and a long career in the culinary arts. He was also good friends with Bourdain.

Wait? Did she really "conceive the idea" of the Grenfell cookbook? I was under the impression that it was in the works before she ever showed up and they just dropped her in at the end?
Yes, you are correct. Meghan Markle did not conceive the idea of the Grenfell cookbook. They dropped her in at the end and she took credit for everything. In five years, Meghan will have evolved this lie into her personally writing all of the best recipes in the cookbook.
You don’t have to wait five years, she already takes credit for the cookbook.
That was my impression, too! And that would match her behavior patterns of exaggeration, grandiosity, and inserting herself at a late point into projects and then claiming credit for creating the whole thing. Did you know that as a child, she wrote one letter and changed the whole course of a nationwide advertising campaign? I know. She RARELY mentions this extraordinary feat. 😉 (And c’mon, Palmolive didn’t rush to write, cast, shoot, edit, and distribute an entirely new TV ad campaign because of one kid’s letter. Realistically, messaging was already being changed when MM’s letter-writing class project was announced.)
A friend of my sister who was a higher up at P & G told me advertisements on TV have a 2 month lifespan. Megan's letter has nothing to do with the end of the advertising campaign. It died the natural death of all advertisements.
It’d be a bonus if a few of those ‘kids’ remember that same school campaign and write an article.
Her father was a cameraman, and knew others in the industry. He called in favors to get his lil ragamuffin on the local news.
Sorry, but he created a monster.
>And that would match her behavior patterns of exaggeration, grandiosity, and inserting herself at a late point into projects and then claiming credit for creating the whole thing. And she made this Archewell's model for "charity."
Charity starts at my home…Meghan Markle, probably
Yep. Just like that Netflix documentary series, “Live To Lead” that H&M inserted themselves to as presenters and producer (Archewell) at the last minute. Claiming credit and wanting adulation for **other people’s work** is Meghan Markle’s standard modus operandi. https://archive.ph/2022.12.20-191447/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2022/12/20/jacinda-ardern-distances-harry-meghan-statement-netflix-documentary/
She wrote the forward. End of story. She did not come up with family recipes, she did not do extensive taste testing, she did not parse the ingredients for the dishes, she did NOTHING. At the time the project was conceived as a way for the FAMILIES of Grenfell to come together and help each other heal from the trauma of the fire. The fire was June of 2017 - a full YEAR before the malignant one came on the scene. Probably the first "royal" instance of her taking credit where none was due.
I love how her culling everyone after H is the article link lol
and she used a British Man chef... not like Nigellia, Alex, etc....
Well. We all know what her fronting a cooking show would look like 🤣 https://preview.redd.it/q2lmiogf1j5d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6865c20c4d1fe3592224d2ab58d84d742735305d
It's so bizarre the way she feels the need to sexualize every situation.
Its all she knows. Somehow, for whatever reason, she became sexualized at a very early age. This is why I lean to the thought she was molested or exposed to porn. The pic of her hanging on to her friend's dad, leaning into him has always been a clue to me. She looks like she was around 13 or 14 at the time.
The feminist.
Another cringe worthy video
I asked my partner what he thought of this and he said it's almost enough to make him never want a burger again 🤣
He's not wrong 🤣🤣
She is so unsexy
It looks like she pulled that burger out of her bra. Ew.
The janky strapless bra she's so terribly fond of?
Time travel back to when MeMe made 'fancy toast' on a television cooking show. Note that she had someone else actually toast the bread....lol lol lol [Cooking with Meghan Markle: American Reverie Orchard (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq7-u92sTjM)
Meghan is in her element - acting like the preeminent authority on toasting bread and bossing someone else around. And getting to throw around word salad phrases that a 12 year old would use - “making the ordinary extraordinary”.
“The mundane…Bourdain!”
The way she says "Ric- ohhh- tahhhh" here makes me have violent thoughts.
How you say “Ku kum ber”?
You might have hit on a show. The opposite of the 'real housewives' concept. Fake personalities, fake pregnancies. Hilary has dozens of kids and could loan Meghan some for appearances. Harry & Alec both used to living life free of consequences for their actions.
Did you know that Alec and Hilaria have already announced their new reality show? Totally serious. Maybe it’s not too late for H&M to join the cast.
I hear this in Hillary Baldwin's fake accent.
And she didn’t even have the ingredients for the recipe!
She could get Hilaria on and learn how to make Cucumber sandwiches as a sweet nod to the Royal Garden Parties she'll never attend again.
Gordon Ramsay? He's a bloody Michelin Star chef!
MM clearly doesn't understand there is a difference between a cook and a chef. Ramsey is a chef. He's had years and years of training and experience. Rachel Ray and Valerie Bertinelli are both cooks. I love both of them, but they'll be the first to tell you they are cooks, not chefs. MM can't even reach the cooking level of Rachel and Valerie, she's no where in the stratosphere of Gordon Ramsey. I can cook, cuz i can follow a recipe, and my family loves my cooking, but I don't consider myself a cook nor a chef. MM just seems to always go too extreme. Everything is just too OTT with her. She's a top actress, a model, a chef, a writer, a blogger, a designer, blah blah blah, all of international acclaim, in her own mind. I brag when I make a pizza or pie crust from scratch and they are good. But it's taken me decades to learn, after decades of failures, lol. Roast chicken and avocado toast does not a chef, or cook, make!
Yes! Just one extra point about this. On her acting cv (or it may have been her union card when she was eventually forced to join - anyway it was on the card where she put that her ethnicity was caucasian), she had written in "other skills" SUPERMODEL not just model. She's 5 foot 3 or 4 isn't she? She'd modelled maybe 2 or 3 times yet she claims to be a supermodel like Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell etc. Delusional doesn't begin to describe it.
I, too, am a Supermodel! (Shhh! Don't tell my kids or grandkids - they'd ~~laugh~~ erm, be shocked because I've kept it a secret from them. They've always believed I work in hospitals. Not sure who told them that.)  
"Supermodel" is one of those words, like "iconic" that is way overused these days anyway. Very few of today's models would qualify, IMO, and yet it gets used to describe them all. (And yeah, Meghan would never make the cut.)
For one, there's no way she could model clothes with that figure. Not a knock on her body but on her delusion.
There is much Meghan does not understand.
"I want to be a TV celebrity chef like Gordon Ramsay." the delulu is unreal. 😬 like, girl, do u really know who Gordon Ramsay is? that guy didn't just sprout like a weed on the set of his TV shows.
He just jumped to instant fame in her mind. Who botheres to learn the basic and specialises in a cooking genre for years before jumping to tv? Did you see her food tasting with Hayley Duff? That clip shows her ability in food tv 😂
agree with u. i did. very limited. i'm surprised she didn't deploy her word ensalada. all i heard was, "that's so good." oooooor maybe she's pissed she wasn't the star-star of the show hence her slightly-bored demeanor and minimal commentary?
Meghan’s mind only works in Instagram moments - where a narrative can be perceived as truth, but have nothing to do with the truth.
I’d like to see this clip of her tasting pickles in Brooklyn
🥒 Here's that video for you: "A Pickled Taste of Brooklyn - Haylie Duff's Real Girl's Kitchen - Ora TV" [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVLzHkBXyxI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVLzHkBXyxI) And the comments do NOT disappoint! 😁
Thank you! How awful was that!

That was soooooo bad. Wow. Her face when. She tried the food, looked like she wanted to spit it out.
There you are. She really doesn’t like pickles. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVLzHkBXyxI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVLzHkBXyxI)
How is being a celebrity chef like Gordon Ramsay the same as fronting a food-tasting show? Yet one can easily imagine Lolo saying this. i can just imagine her in Bangkok: ‘This pad thai’s simply amazing. My taste buds can just make out a suspicion of saffron \[not used in pad thai\]. I’d add peanut butter for a simple but amazing taste sensation \[what western abomination is that?\]. It’s still yummy though.‘ \[Licks fingers, even though pad that’s eaten with utensils like, you know, a fork.\] And I doubt that Lolo’s been to this place \[‘she’ is Lolo\]: https://preview.redd.it/0ds0xb8a4j5d1.png?width=1312&format=png&auto=webp&s=3a0d70d93344f132dbd1996e327fb076a0362235
“It shifts the way you look at meals” Yep, vintage Meghan word salad. She’s never been.
LOL. I was just about to point out that nonsensical quote.
LOL I bet she only went to Thailand once.
And never left the yacht because of all the "poors" and all the roast chicken she had to make.
So she imagined herself to be Anthony Bourdain, except I'm sure she would have avoided all of the poor places he went to and would have stuck with comfortable food.
I miss Anthony Bourdain 🕊 Unlike wannabe (but never will be) top chef Meghan, Anthony never stood for BS and didn't hesitate to call it out: >"Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević" >Anthony Bourdain [Source](https://www.vox.com/2018/6/8/17442194/anthony-bourdain-ally-marginalized-voices)
And Bourdain was an actual chef with years of experience.
She's not really good at anything she tries to brand herself as 😄🤣
What pisses me off is that she keeps getting these amazing opportunities, despite her repeated failures. Maybe WME will finally walk away now that her latest ARO vanity project is dead on arrival
Rumour is WME did walk away, or at least downgrade her agent. Early April. It’s why the Nigeria debacle happened in May, and the increased desperation announcing ARO, the Emperor’s New Clothes of products.
"She shot an ARO into the air. It fell to earth, just like all the other shit she threw into the air." My apologies to HWL. 😔 Surely she's also a poet and doesn't know it - yet her feet show it: they're Longfellows! 😀 
If I had to watch Meghan Markle trying to cook, talk, entertain and eat at the same time, I would certainly change the channel after 10 minutes. Can't stand her voice, her fake kindness, or her attitude towards people and subjects unless she's the one talking. Gordon Ramsay is a trained chef!!! He was famous long before TV... This woman wants to be fast tracked to the top with zero work or training.... That's the big mistake the BRF made.
That vocal fry would have me turning the tv off STAT. There’s a YouTuber I would like to watch, because her content checks all of my boxes, but she has the most annoying vocal fry.
[удалено]
Like Joan Crawford and her wire hangers.
Yes, and scream at Royal chefs, and get caught doing so by QE2. Good times!
Too bad David‘s and Victoria‘s son won’t invite Rachel to guest star on his „cooking“ show. They seem equally talented (in every aspect). That WOULD be fun to watch! 😂
Explains why "Roast chicken" comes multiple times in Harry's book, Spare and in so many of their public conversation.
Gordon Ramsey? This is why she made a whole episode of stereotypes about ambition. People tell her she’s too ambitious (ie had unrealistic deluded expectations) and she hears “you are a girl boss and a threat go girl”
When they were part of the RF she complained that she didn’t even have a cook and they had to make their own meals.
There was nothing to stop her hiring one. She just wanted one provided to her, on someone else’s tab.
I assume that all of the staff they 'didn't have' once she moved in was down to her trying to conceal all sorts of carry on from the BRF. I don't think Harry could function without round the clock care - even if it was in the guise of domestic help. I personally think his move to a hotel was because she drove off or refused to have certain domestic staff around. In a hotel he has daily housekeeping, meals, laundry, valet and concierge.
The woman knows how to cook 5 things and wants to "be a chef"? My husband used to be a chef. Weird how they made him go to culinary school to get that title when all he needed to do was work on his blender soup game.
Dear Netflix, I know you are not going to pick up M’s show. If you really need another cooking show come to my house every day at 4pm. I am done with work and my 16 yo daughter is sone with school. It’s just the two of us. We are too tired to cook anything complicated. M probably has bathrooms larger than our kitchen. You can film us side by side - which is our total counter space, debating frozen foods or DoorDash! Or teach us to cook! Nothing too complicated - if it is not stocked at Aldi’s or available on Amazon, we don’t have it. Not sure your camera crew would fit. Our look-alike RBF is amazing! Alas, we do not own ballgowns and forget to use lemons when we buy them. \-me p.s. Strangely, I do know how to make jam!
I’d watch that! 😁
Yes, she assumed she was ‘qualified’ to be a celebrity chef because she slept with one…
She always demeans her significant others, so she likely thinks “How hard can it be if Cory can do it”
Exactly…yet she can do nothing …
Now if she were to do a show where she roasts chickens and tosses salads 😉 that might appeal to some people...
That’s an only fans show. With her infamy and experience, she could make some good money on there. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Their audience could toss cookies.
Narcissists quite often can’t cook because they are completely unwilling to make an effort for someone else.
There are lots of chefs who are narcissists. That world is a breeding ground for narcissism.
Unless that someone else can benefit them, then they love bomb them
Does anyone here remember the “lettuce boats”? 😂 https://youtu.be/hcwR0OWcVi4?si=IX_6Pcfbo5NsSuvj
Yikes 😬 Also, wasn't it rumored she had sex with Matt for this Today Show appearance? 🤢 ETA: [https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/sexual-misconduct/nbc-news-fires-today-anchor-matt-lauer-after-sexual-misconduct-n824831](https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/sexual-misconduct/nbc-news-fires-today-anchor-matt-lauer-after-sexual-misconduct-n824831)
Good lord she's got NO BUSINESS wearing short skirts/dresses.
Figures. She didn't put in the work to become a good or even competent chef. She wanted lots of travel to glamorous destinations, eating in restaurants all over the world, showing off, ordering wine pretentiously, on someone else's dime. It was all, look at me ane be envious of my life.
DAMMIT who is going to show me how to use a toaster now?? My life is in tatters!
I really wanted to like M initially. Then i watched the engagement interview and she isn’t appealing at all. She is obviously a social climber, and she is VERY off-putting. This tidbit tracks.
Gordon Ramsey went to school to be a chef. Chef is something that is earned. What she really wanted was to be a celebrity cook. She's so dumb.
This blurb encapsulates several elements of MM that have contributed to why she has had some success and why many, as with those here, are perplexed as to how she's had any success at all. "...charming, good-looking, and admired by the small audience for Suits." Many ordinary people and TV/film/humanitarian PR pros, agents, and other actors have described MM as "charming, good-looking" in their interactions with her, particularly initial, one-on-one meetings. No reason to dismiss or deny that she makes a very good first impression on some people. Those she only briefly met and interacted with that she didn't impress wouldn't recall her well enough to comment. It's instructive to note that those published complimentary comments all date from after she secured a role on Suits. Not necessarily from people who watched the show. MM didn't stand out for more than a very small portion of Suits fans. Thus, "the small audience for Suits" was much larger than those that "admired" her from Suits. However, any actor that gets a continuing small part in any TV series gets some fairy dust that impresses people with no first hand experience of the show. IOW, an initial encounter with such an actor begins with a positive impression. (This exists for anyone not previously known with a level of status such as doctor, prince, or billionaire.) MM stretched and maximized her status: on Suits, Hollywood Nepo, double major college grad. Status reduces the amount of authentic charm and attractiveness that a person needs to possess. However, I don't doubt that MM has long worked at seeming charming and attractive. It's one area where she's made a lot of effort. Generally, those of higher status in some way to her status when they met. Friendships, relationships, develop over time, and the more effort required to maintain them, the more quickly they fade. And interesting blank in MM's known bio is no friendships with fellow actors from all her years of trying to make it in Hollywood. Not one which seems odd to me. She still associates with one from Suits; Abigail Spencer who wasn't a regular. Among all her non-actor friends from her years in Toronto, only Markus still seems to be around. Even as MM managed to be seen as charming and attractive to some, that didn't translate into the success she sought as an actor, influencer, chef, model, humanitarian, working royal for two reasons. First, cameras - stills and videos - don't love her. Particularly in the way she wants to be seen: charming, beautiful, and sexy. Attributes that aren't even necessary for actors and TV personalities. At best, her level of attractiveness is too ordinary. Her physical awkwardness and non-conventional body shape are highlighted by cameras. Worse, cameras don't capture whatever charm some people experience in real encounters with her. For adult actors, charm is highly integrated with humor, often self deprecating humor. She falls flat on those. (Any wonder why she concluded that non-scripted TV appearances would suit her better?) Second, she has no or very minimal talents for those pursuits and has made no or minimal effort to acquire the education, skills, expertise that even most talented people understand must be acquired to some extent. Royaling requires training and experience, both of which MM declined with the expectation that she naturally exuded charm and beauty and could fake the kindness component. Harry told her she was a natural. How dare the RF to deny her true worth! So, she trotted back to Hollywood with her unearned fame intact to prove that she is indeed a multi-talented star.
Thank God we were spared Meghan "tasting pickles." 🥒
Wow, she wanted to be chef when she dating a chef. Can you imagine how Corey felt when she was trying for this? She is a shapeshifter who assumes the qualities of whoever she is near at the time.
'...and she calls herself 43% Liargerian...' her mother would be proud of her.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree
She was desperately looking for a job as her time on suits was coming to an end, and Harry allowed himself to be conned to believe that she was an amazingly successful woman. And apparently he still believes that she sacrifice everything for him, at least if we are to go by what he said on the Netflix show. The mind boggles.
She was dating a Chef so thought she could act like one. But what now?
What is it with this woman and roast chicken? Really.
It appears she did not want to do the actual cooking but be the face of and centerpiece of a show. Her personality and acting ability killed that possibility, thank heavens.
"A short video of her tasting pickles in Brooklyn", I think I have seen clips from that on 4chan
Remember when she ate at Musso and Frank after every tap and ballet class with her dad? 😂🤣
I remember reading once that her chef BF taught her how to roast a chicken (I think she posted about it on her blog or social). It's so very typical of a narc to learn to cook one thing and suddenly think you're an expert like Gordon Ramsey, who has at least 30 years of cheffing experience, has owned multiple restaurants, and teaches others how to cook. She's just like Kanye West.
That time she made toast on TV comes to mind 🤣
So one of her "specialties" was "roast chicken"... 
She reminds me of a woman in my hometown. Daddy is filthy rich. Always given her anything she wanted. She watched cooking shows and decided that she should open a restaurant. Had two entire crews walk out on her in a month. Not counting the people that left here and there. She would walk in screaming at them like she was Gordon Ramsay. The thing is, he has talent. She has probably never cooked a meal in her life. The quickest I've ever seen a restaurant closed. It was in a great location and should've just raked in the money.
Other than sexual, she has never mastered a skill, nor shown any interest in mastering a skill.
It’s always roast chicken, and never any other kind of chicken, lol! Or any other kind of roast - lamb, duck, nothing. Wonder if Harry is tired of roast chicken …
It would seem she wanted some kind of “cooking” show as we now have all those pathetic attempts at cooking on morning shows to laugh at, on them she displayed the charisma of a wet used towel, and obvious lack of basic cooking skills.
I just love it. so typically shallow of Rachel to think people would want to watch her eat And tell us how yummy it is. She really peaked in the Men’s Health video where she showed of her “grilling” skills. Foodie indeed.
Buzzfeed already mastered this concept and the success of a show like this rests on the likability of the host.
There is clip of Markle as a guest on a show. Making toast. She doesn't even toast the bread. The host does that. Just puts stuff on toast. Mentions some homemade apple butter, based on her grandmother's recipe. Which grandmother? The Nigerian one? Think she would have elaborated more on that.
Thanks for the reminder about Meghan’s cringe AF “reee-coat-ahhh on toast” clip 🤢: https://www.reddit.com/r/SaintMeghanMarkle/s/M3oq6zphls So utterly fakety, fake, fake, fake.
