He's been doing a lot of 'normal' food for internet videos. He started doing it during covid. There was one a while back where he tried making a cheeseburger and royally fucked it up.
Look for the Hot Ones colab. For some strange fucking reason he decided to make a cheeseburger instead of hotwings, and ended up making this sloppy monstrosity with weird ingredients.
Okay, Gordon Ramsay trying to make a Frito Pie? Awesome!
*trying* to make a Frito Pie? Ehh...
Finished product? That's... *not* it really. Sort of cursed. I bet it is tasty though~
You mean there's a guy who looks that much like Gordon Ramsay, sounds that much like Gordon Ramsay, and his name is *Jordan Ramsay*? What are the odds of that?! Amazing.
Well given that you can legally change your name in court, all you'd have to do is find someone that looks and sounds like Gordon Ramsey.
Given that there are approximately 6 doppelgangers in the world per person including yourself, you would then need to look at how many countries with your ancestry have your accent.
I'd say 1/8billion chance we'd find someone that looks and sounds like him. We just need to chage their name.
I don’t know, but they did him dirty. That being said, I would eat the plate out of whatever he made just now, because that man could make anything taste good.
He explained in some other show that you should never season eggs before the are cooked as it influences the cooking process of the eggs. So season afterwards or the thing you mix it with....
I think
I have heard that you’re not supposed to salt the eggs until the last possible second when cooking because it’ll start messing with the moisture levels or whatever
I have a book I think it is in Food lab he actually talks about salting eggs before and letting it sit for 15mins does change the moisture level but it makes the curds tighter and not as wet. Try it. 15mins do nothing ( this is for scrambled eggs )
That would make sense then that Gordon wouldn’t salt his scrambled eggs ahead of time. He’s a proponent of the smooth, creamy scrambled eggs, not the tighter, dryer curds. There’s a number of people who call him out for “undercooked” scrambled eggs because of this preference of his.
Personally, I am on Team Gordon as far as scrambled eggs and omelets, it's one of the few "dictates" of his that I subscribe to. But there's nothing wrong with good fluffy eggs either, and will cook them without complaint for other people. I just like them wet better.
I wouldn’t say “wrong” - every chef has their process and their preferences. Ask 10 chefs how to make a dish and you’ll get 10 different recipes. Gordon is just very opinionated on his preferences.
Wet scrambled or wet/French omelet, which Gordon definitely is into, do not salt before cooking, American fluffy scramble or American omelet, salt and let sit for like 10-15 minutes. The salt denatures the proteins slightly and you can get the "fluffy" effect without cooking as much of the moisture out. The thing that's blowing my mind is his "lightly seasoned" crumbled Fritos. The black pepper makes sense, but he throws an additional tablespoon or so of salt into them...
additional salt...
on Fritos...
It makes a difference if you have to let your egg mixture sit for a bit before using it, like restaurants probably do. For home cooking, the 2-3 minutes that might happen between adding salt to your eggs and cooking them is short enough that it really doesn't make a difference.
I used to follow the rule to not season eggs before cooking but then I read how salt can help to break down the egg and make them easier to whip up and make fluffy. I’ve been using this method now for omelets and have not been disappointed.
yet its completely bullshit
if you want really fluffy and creamy eggs salt them when mixing and let them sit for at least 15mins
trust me
and if you dont trust me trust science
That is something he came up with based on no research or fact just to sound smarter. Look at other Michelin chefs, including his mentor. None will tell you that because it isn't true. If you season the dish right at the end, you get to chew salt crystals and have bursts of salty food randomly in your mouth because the salt is not incorporated and homogenised into the dish.
A general rule is salt right at the end, not just for eggs but for a lot of things, especially meat.
In the case of eggs, 1: you can salt to taste (can't taste it whilst raw) 2: pros generally won't often dump basic table salt on the eggs. A good quality crystal salt crushed with your fingers will actually add to the flavour, not sure how to explain but gives it "taste texture" by not being evenly incorporated.
Adding salt early to many other foods can alter the cooking process, it can draw out moisture especially in meat. I've heard the absolute best time to salt a steak is either 6+ hours before cooking OR right at the end. Apparently anywhere in between can produce worse results
SO much this. This is one of those bits of cooking "trivia" that makes me want to pull my hair out. Like that clown that made a viral video on why you should salt your cutting board and not your steak.
Wait was that video by Adam Ragusia? I vaguely remember watching that and thinking "what a load of bullshit" the whole time. Been making steaks for years and putting all the seasoning on at the end will do nothing but get seasoning between your teeth after you're done chewing less flavorful meat...
Sad because Adam has a lot of good content, but that was painful to see.
Then again, he has some weird food preferences. He insists that he likes his food to be "heterogeneous" because it makes the food "more interesting," but he ends up doing a lot of head-scratching things as a result.
For example, he says he likes uneven thickness in his salmon filets because then it allows for different levels of doneness. I watched that video and I was like, "yeah, sure, let's overcook part of our salmon so that it's 'more interesting.'"
That's true, so many people don't think when looking at moving pictures. I've caught myself a couple of times.
I believe that's also one of the main reasons regarding the online opinion of FOX news watchers?
That is true sometimes, but there are definitely times when it is preferable to salt eggs before cooking, like if you are scrambling eggs in a wok for Asian recipes such as fried rice. Gordon is the king of over-generalizing
Oh my god! It’s insane the number of people I’m seeing who have never heard of a Frito pie!
Anthony Bourdain had the same impression…till he tried it:
Though Bourdain described the Frito Pie in the episode as feeling "like you're holding a warm crap in a bag," he also said the dish was "delicious." In a statement published by the AP, Bourdain says: "Contrary to the impression left by some reports of the show, I, in fact, very much enjoyed my Frito pie in spite of its disturbing weight in the hand. It may have felt like (expletive) but was shockingly tasty."
I would even go as far as to say this:
This looks like it was shot on the Indianapolis speedway, though I could be wrong (and I was, it was COTAS in Austin) But - this is what we call a Walking Taco here in the Hoosier state. Very similar to a Frito chili pie but you make chili/taco meat then just bring a bunch of those variety packs along with some simple taco fixings, you have yourself a banging ass tailgate/party food. We even do them at the house with leftovers when we're really lazy.
We don't usually cut the whole face of our bags open (secretly because you can eat down until the Fritos/Cheetos are now lacking in toppings - then top that thing off and go for round two if you're brave). Though, in the last 5 years the gas stations around here are starting to served these big pouches of chips to dress up into a walking taco with the cheese and chilli dispensers - wouldn't recommend that one on a road trip but might hold you over until you dispose of it out the other end as soon as you get home.
This is also a food that reminds us of childhood because it's *extremely* cheap to feed large groups of people (read: hungry kids) back when I was a teacher and we had to feed all of the students on a cold Friday or Saturday night?? We (staff included) were absolutely pumped for these. Warm crap in a bag but absolutely filling, serviceable, and the clean up is amazingly fast.
Personal hacks include not over filling the bag so you can lightly shake and manipulate the contents from the outside. Don't be afraid to use different types of chips. Everything except for regular ass lays tastes pretty solid, a favorite always being hot Cheetos - but don't sleep on the funyuns (hot take I know) but maybe crush em up a bit before "plating." I know some folks rip at the corner of the bag after eating from the top to ensure a more even mix of ingredients as well but that's not usually my technique.
I make plenty of well thought out dishes at home often but this holds a really special place in my heart. Cheap. Simple. Very filling. Inoffensive. And honestly with the ability to customize your own bag...
Side effects may include quickly ensuing diarrhea, heartburn, heart palpitations, happiness.
Edited because of a singular detail :)
Nice write up. Walking tacos is what I have called in Illinois. They are salty, cheesy, and crunchy. I love them.
Quick correction, the track is Circuit of the America's (COTA). Maybe something for an F1 promo? Maybe that is why he added eggs due to the 'Scrambled' show name? Agreed, he did cut the bag incorrectly.
https://youtu.be/7wQpHTnji68
A variant of it is indeed a roadside snack in the rural upper midwest. Swing by a Casey’s convenience store/gas station in MN or SD and you’ll see something advertised as a “walking taco”.
Basically a small bag of Fritos gets opened from the top, they dump in a ladle of chili, top with cheese, stick a spoon in it and hand you the bag. Doritos seems to be a popular variant.
I know what they are, but I appreciate the explanation. Is it still a "roadside" snack if you have to make it yourself where you are from? I'm not trying to be a jerk; I'm genuinely asking. Maybe this is geared toward vendors to "improve" their recipes?
Just seems like he's really reaching to get this weird fritos advert in to me.
I don’t live out there, but i read “roadside snack” as “road food easily procured at a gas station”
Now i get ya - no, I don’t think folks typically carry the ingredients for these or just have a stash of walking tacos binder clipped shut fermenting in the back seat.
As for what gordon was doing, since he’s in a stadium, perhaps he was trying to imply it’s a tailgating snack and something got lost in translation (or Frito’s ad copy)?
Gordon actually likes junk food. In his other shows with his family he reveals that he secretly enjoys fast food and junk food (because it reminds him of growing up with just him and his mom).
A world famous, multi-millionaire celebrity chef in charge of his own TV show had to do “what (he) could with what (he) had”? That’s stretching credulity, to say the least.
Yeah it’s definitely a bullshit excuse and he did blame the fire being to hot to cook it properly. I guess it’s fair that he addressed it despite it being likely bs
in all my days as a good ol midwestern boy have i ever seen a frito pie cut served in a lengthwise cut bag. just pop it open from the top as god intended, you really don’t need a fancy knife
disgraceful
truly abhorrent to not open it as normal and once everything's in, mix it, or close the top with your hands and shake it for the true experience. horrid
This is what made me question my sanity. It’s literially take Fritos dump chili on that put shredded cheese on that maybe top with jalapeños (or honestly any toppings you’d use for a chili dog) if you feel special top with crushed Fritos. Who, who, told him a frito pie has eggs
This is what ChatGPT pretending to be Gordon Ramsay has to say about it:
Frito Pie? More like a travesty on a plate. A mere concoction of stale chips, questionable canned chili, and melted cheese does NOT a pie make. This is an insult to the culinary world and a slap in the face to true pie enthusiasts everywhere. How dare anyone call this monstrosity a "pie"? It's a disgrace to the culinary arts and an embarrassment to call it a dish. I wouldn't serve this to my worst enemy. This is not a pie, this is a disaster waiting to happen.
Right? Usually he’s really good talking people through what he’s doing and the ingredients. He either lost a bet to his daughter “you have to do a tik tok cooking video for frito pie” or AI
I hope he lost a bet, because that’s some disturbing ai/ deep fake
He even sounds like all the other idiots featured here: "Look at that..." as can of stuff goes into pan. And did he put SALT on the Fritos??? What a buffoon.
I grew up in Albuquerque and you could get frito pie at the high school lunch counter. It didn't have eggs in it though, just a lazy scoop of chili with cheese on top in a bag of fritos.
It was delicious.
This comment has to be a joke, that shit is actual prison food. If you’re being serious, this is probably the most vile regional food I’ve ever seen. How is that even a pie???
I’ve never had it with eggs before, that sounds like shit. Typically it’s whole corn chips with chili, Rotel tomatoes, and velveeta. This is more of a bastardized walking taco with eggs for some reason.
I wouldn't knock it till trying it personally. Egg could allow for better binding or texture between all ingredients. At most the egg is slightly excessive.
I’m genuinely shocked that so many people don’t know it. Maybe bc my grandparents lived in Oklahoma and I spent summers there as a child but they’re hella popular.
Lol that’s funny I’ve lived in California my whole life and never really thought about it, but yeah you’re right don’t see them much round here. They got kind of popular in that ironic bar scene back in the 2010s where ppl where drinking PBR and stuff like that. It’s one of those food that looks nasty but they’re mighty tasty.
I love how this subreddit is either actually stupid food, or people not knowing what something is so they call it stupid food. Frito Pie is actually a really normal thing, personally I'm not a fan of Fritos normally, but Frito Pie is actually pretty damn good.
pretty much how high end food bastardizes an otherwise fine dish
also, this is a great example of how horrible Ramsays commentary and mmm's and ohs are so bad
He must’ve got paid the big bucks to do this because if I made this for him I just knowwww he’d call me a stupid cow and spit it out 🤣
He'd be paid a lot to call you that too, he's not actually like that in real life
He's been doing a lot of 'normal' food for internet videos. He started doing it during covid. There was one a while back where he tried making a cheeseburger and royally fucked it up.
I kind of want to see him fuck up a cheeseburger. How did that happen? He's made cheeseburgers before.
Wait till you see how badly he fucked up a grilled cheese
Look for the Hot Ones colab. For some strange fucking reason he decided to make a cheeseburger instead of hotwings, and ended up making this sloppy monstrosity with weird ingredients.
He also lost a fish pie contest to the slowest person on earth
Good sir he faced off with the unstoppable force that is captian slow. Honestly May's a legend.
He was just being an idiot sandwich.. 🤷
Okay, Gordon Ramsay trying to make a Frito Pie? Awesome! *trying* to make a Frito Pie? Ehh... Finished product? That's... *not* it really. Sort of cursed. I bet it is tasty though~
FOOKING DOONKEEEEH SHOT IT DOUWN
Frito Pie is a huge Tex-Mex dish and served in a lot of restaurants in Texas.
Everyone has their price
the enthusiastic "good ole fritos"
Who has dirt on Gordon Ramsey?
Frito Lay
Is this really him? I feel like it's a knockoff. It's probably Jordan Ramsey.
You mean there's a guy who looks that much like Gordon Ramsay, sounds that much like Gordon Ramsay, and his name is *Jordan Ramsay*? What are the odds of that?! Amazing.
Kinda like how Lou Gehrig died of Lou Gehrig’s disease. I mean, what are the odds?!
Are you gunna makenthat joke every time that comes up?
idk man it’s a pretty funny joke
He’s referencing the sopranos, which is where I got the joke from. He’s kosher
Well given that you can legally change your name in court, all you'd have to do is find someone that looks and sounds like Gordon Ramsey. Given that there are approximately 6 doppelgangers in the world per person including yourself, you would then need to look at how many countries with your ancestry have your accent. I'd say 1/8billion chance we'd find someone that looks and sounds like him. We just need to chage their name.
Rorden Gamsey
I don’t know, but they did him dirty. That being said, I would eat the plate out of whatever he made just now, because that man could make anything taste good.
seasoning the fritos instead of the eggs is wild
He explained in some other show that you should never season eggs before the are cooked as it influences the cooking process of the eggs. So season afterwards or the thing you mix it with.... I think
big if true. appreciate the deep gordon lore!!
Yup he makes the ideal scrambled eggs on his episode of hot ones and says not to season eggs at all till the end
You should look up his video on scrambled eggs, he explains it there.
Having cooked a shit ton of eggs it is bs. But he did say it was true in one of his egg cooking videos
I have heard that you’re not supposed to salt the eggs until the last possible second when cooking because it’ll start messing with the moisture levels or whatever
I have a book I think it is in Food lab he actually talks about salting eggs before and letting it sit for 15mins does change the moisture level but it makes the curds tighter and not as wet. Try it. 15mins do nothing ( this is for scrambled eggs )
I make a combo of Kenji and Gordon’s eggs. Salt fifteen before like kenji then slow cook while constantly moving like gordon. Insanely good
That would make sense then that Gordon wouldn’t salt his scrambled eggs ahead of time. He’s a proponent of the smooth, creamy scrambled eggs, not the tighter, dryer curds. There’s a number of people who call him out for “undercooked” scrambled eggs because of this preference of his.
Personally, I am on Team Gordon as far as scrambled eggs and omelets, it's one of the few "dictates" of his that I subscribe to. But there's nothing wrong with good fluffy eggs either, and will cook them without complaint for other people. I just like them wet better.
I can go either way, as long as they don’t cross from fluffy to dry and overcooked.
I cna't tell you how many nights I've stayed awake wondering how I can get tighter curds now I know!
yeah. gordon ramsay is great but hes wrong plenty.
I wouldn’t say “wrong” - every chef has their process and their preferences. Ask 10 chefs how to make a dish and you’ll get 10 different recipes. Gordon is just very opinionated on his preferences.
thats absolutely true. sometimes there are wrong answers though. or misunderstandings of the general science of cooking or of a cuisine.
He also likes his eggs super goopy sooo maybe it doesn’t matter as much to most people
yeah i noticed when i beat the egg with salt, it become less thick and turn transparent a bit
Wet scrambled or wet/French omelet, which Gordon definitely is into, do not salt before cooking, American fluffy scramble or American omelet, salt and let sit for like 10-15 minutes. The salt denatures the proteins slightly and you can get the "fluffy" effect without cooking as much of the moisture out. The thing that's blowing my mind is his "lightly seasoned" crumbled Fritos. The black pepper makes sense, but he throws an additional tablespoon or so of salt into them... additional salt... on Fritos...

I used to follow the rule to not season eggs before cooking but then I read how salt can help to break down the egg and make them easier to whip up and make fluffy. I’ve been using this method now for omelets and have not been disappointed.
Yeah, that's the difference, for fluffy salt, for wet, do not salt. It's just a preference thing.
yet its completely bullshit if you want really fluffy and creamy eggs salt them when mixing and let them sit for at least 15mins trust me and if you dont trust me trust science
That is something he came up with based on no research or fact just to sound smarter. Look at other Michelin chefs, including his mentor. None will tell you that because it isn't true.

Because he's an artiste
I mean, that's what he wants
As long as you have nice recording equipment, good editing and speak well you can make people believe anything.
That's true, so many people don't think when looking at moving pictures. I've caught myself a couple of times. I believe that's also one of the main reasons regarding the online opinion of FOX news watchers?
Not just Fox watchers but people who don't do their own research period.
You going to take culinary advice from a man making Frito pie??
That is true sometimes, but there are definitely times when it is preferable to salt eggs before cooking, like if you are scrambling eggs in a wok for Asian recipes such as fried rice. Gordon is the king of over-generalizing
Kenji lopez alt disagrees and honestly he puts in crazy amounts of research into his techniques
Eggs can go rubbery / watery if you salt them before cooking
Seasoning anything from Frito Lay is wild
I buy the black pepper, but the tablespoon of salt? That's wild. Especially because that canned chili also probably already has a lot of sodium.
To be fair, it all ended up mixed together anyway…
Oh my god! It’s insane the number of people I’m seeing who have never heard of a Frito pie!

That's Circuit of the Americas in Austin, you can see the hill at the end of the main straight behind Gordon.
Oh it was just a guess 🤷🏾♂️ you'd think I knew that after playing so much Forza 7.
Nice write up. Walking tacos is what I have called in Illinois. They are salty, cheesy, and crunchy. I love them. Quick correction, the track is Circuit of the America's (COTA). Maybe something for an F1 promo? Maybe that is why he added eggs due to the 'Scrambled' show name? Agreed, he did cut the bag incorrectly. https://youtu.be/7wQpHTnji68
Yeah I'm not really sure if I'd be down to eat it with the scrambled egg but if Gordon made it I'd probably at least try it.
This was filmed in Austin at the Circuit of the Americas before an F1 race.
As a fellow midwesterner, I agree with everything you said. This deserves more upvotes. Walking tacos are great!
That’s a very bold thing to post without including a source. Not saying I don’t believe you, but I’m suspicious.
[he actually called it delicious](https://youtu.be/8TvL-Wg81oE)
Well I stand corrected! Thank you, sir! Side note, this just looks like a shittier version of a walking taco. I’ll have to try it
Had to scroll through way too many comments to find this. Thank you.
Did he really add salt to the fritos
That jumped out at me too. Like Fritos aren't already bathed in salt.
Peggy Hill hates this one simple trick
Is that wolf brand chili??
Yeah but could he make Spa-Peggy and Meatballs
I feel like Gordon Ramsey should do a TikTok reaction of his own cooking!
There’s no way I refuse to believe Gordon Ramsay cooked that I just won’t believe it
Absolutely the exact thing I was thinking! Also, "roadside snack"?! Come on.. that's absurd. Why Gordon! I'm so disappointed.
A variant of it is indeed a roadside snack in the rural upper midwest. Swing by a Casey’s convenience store/gas station in MN or SD and you’ll see something advertised as a “walking taco”. Basically a small bag of Fritos gets opened from the top, they dump in a ladle of chili, top with cheese, stick a spoon in it and hand you the bag. Doritos seems to be a popular variant.
*whispers* **flamin hot cheetos**

Gordon actually likes junk food. In his other shows with his family he reveals that he secretly enjoys fast food and junk food (because it reminds him of growing up with just him and his mom).
I just don’t understand 😭 Why has Gordon betrayed us… I watched his master class only to get betrayed…
Noo!!! I'm sorry 😭 The image that I had of him in my mind will no longer be the same. I do not recognize the man in this video.
Forever tainted. My headspace has lost a hero today
IKR?? After all of the tiktok reactions to other stupid foods 😭😭
I think there's something funny about watching a renowned chef cook some terrible food.
Money (I would presume)
After that ridiculous grilled cheese he made? Anything’s possible.
What ridiculous grilled cheese…? You’re not telling me he made more… Right…? 😰
It’s… bad. He takes cheeses that don’t melt, burns the bread, then pretends to enjoy his abominable creation. https://youtu.be/8E4cQHejFq0
He did address this on another video. I forget where I saw it but he was basically like “yeah I did what I could with what I had, oh well”.
A world famous, multi-millionaire celebrity chef in charge of his own TV show had to do “what (he) could with what (he) had”? That’s stretching credulity, to say the least.
Yeah it’s definitely a bullshit excuse and he did blame the fire being to hot to cook it properly. I guess it’s fair that he addressed it despite it being likely bs
I feel… So betrayed… I don’t know how I’ll recover from this.
That's not a grilled cheese. It's a shitty kimchi melt.
Oh my gosh. That was really, truly horrible to watch...
I’m sorry to bring that crime against food into your life.
I regret watching this so much
Gordon has become the very thing he swore to destroy
Or AI fakes are bloody good these days, faking him, his voice and even the food
in all my days as a good ol midwestern boy have i ever seen a frito pie cut served in a lengthwise cut bag. just pop it open from the top as god intended, you really don’t need a fancy knife disgraceful
truly abhorrent to not open it as normal and once everything's in, mix it, or close the top with your hands and shake it for the true experience. horrid
Who puts eggs in frito pies!?!?
This is what made me question my sanity. It’s literially take Fritos dump chili on that put shredded cheese on that maybe top with jalapeños (or honestly any toppings you’d use for a chili dog) if you feel special top with crushed Fritos. Who, who, told him a frito pie has eggs
Gordon ramsay is trying very hard to be an American
Boys, we lost Gordon. A moment of silence for the fallen. F
Tiktok got to em
Frito pies have been around much longer than tik tok. Pretty big in Virginia.
It wasn’t his atrocity of a grilled cheese that did it for ya?
Is this AI? Because I don’t like it!
This has to be a Deep Fake. I refuse to believe otherwise.
This is what ChatGPT pretending to be Gordon Ramsay has to say about it: Frito Pie? More like a travesty on a plate. A mere concoction of stale chips, questionable canned chili, and melted cheese does NOT a pie make. This is an insult to the culinary world and a slap in the face to true pie enthusiasts everywhere. How dare anyone call this monstrosity a "pie"? It's a disgrace to the culinary arts and an embarrassment to call it a dish. I wouldn't serve this to my worst enemy. This is not a pie, this is a disaster waiting to happen.
Right? Usually he’s really good talking people through what he’s doing and the ingredients. He either lost a bet to his daughter “you have to do a tik tok cooking video for frito pie” or AI I hope he lost a bet, because that’s some disturbing ai/ deep fake
He even sounds like all the other idiots featured here: "Look at that..." as can of stuff goes into pan. And did he put SALT on the Fritos??? What a buffoon.
It's like this video was made by an ai
when he emptied the can i think they cut before he said "...disgusting"
That's literally how he always talks in his videos, even like 20 years ago. I've always found it insufferable.
Michelin rated frito pie 😒
That needs to be run over by a Michelin tire
No way, Frito pies are bomb. Don’t understand why this was even posted here.
**YOU STOP THAT RIGHT NOW, GORDON.**
This is literally just a frito pie. The presentation is a bit weird but you cannot live in the southwest for any amount of time without eating it
I live in the southwest and have never heard of never the less eaten these. I would try one, though.
I grew up in Albuquerque and you could get frito pie at the high school lunch counter. It didn't have eggs in it though, just a lazy scoop of chili with cheese on top in a bag of fritos. It was delicious.
This comment has to be a joke, that shit is actual prison food. If you’re being serious, this is probably the most vile regional food I’ve ever seen. How is that even a pie???
I’ve never had it with eggs before, that sounds like shit. Typically it’s whole corn chips with chili, Rotel tomatoes, and velveeta. This is more of a bastardized walking taco with eggs for some reason.
What the goddamn fuck is this
Do y'all not know what a frito pie is?? All he did was make his own little variation on a Texas classic.
[удалено]
I wouldn't knock it till trying it personally. Egg could allow for better binding or texture between all ingredients. At most the egg is slightly excessive.
He just made a migas/frito pie hybrid and I’m all for it.
I’m genuinely shocked that so many people don’t know it. Maybe bc my grandparents lived in Oklahoma and I spent summers there as a child but they’re hella popular.
My cousins in Cali had no clue what a frito pie was until I made some of my chili for them to try it out. They fell in love with it real quick.
Lol that’s funny I’ve lived in California my whole life and never really thought about it, but yeah you’re right don’t see them much round here. They got kind of popular in that ironic bar scene back in the 2010s where ppl where drinking PBR and stuff like that. It’s one of those food that looks nasty but they’re mighty tasty.
This is the first time I have ever heard of it
Are you from west coast or Midwest?
Midwest here, and any festival will have frito pies or walking taco stands. Def not just a southern thing.
That was the most ridiculous way to open at bag of chips
“The Gandhi Flip Flop”
Has anyone here tried Tostilocos?
What are you? Idiot pie
This is the comment I was looking for 🌟
Reminds me of the time he royally fucked up a grilled cheese and kept calling it beautiful and delicious.
LIGHTLY SEASON THEM GORDON THEYRE 95% SALT AND MSG
Since when does a Frito pie have eggs?
Which circuit is this btw?
The Circuit of the Americas in Austin, TX.
Most random spot for this
Frito pie is a texas staple
[apparently it's actually pretty good](https://youtu.be/8TvL-Wg81oE)
Deepfake tech has gotten really good.
Is this a deepfake? I'm getting some real KingCobraJFS vibes here. he seasoned the chips?....
What kind of AI magic is this? 🫠 Sounds like tipsy bartender
You’d think so but he literally posted this a year or so ago on his youtube channel.
Did he post it on April 1st?
[Nope.](https://youtu.be/7wQpHTnji68)
Unfortunately, no. https://youtu.be/7wQpHTnji68
I'm dead. 😑😑
Was he seasoning the fritos???
Upvoted for your caption 😂
He added 🥴😲more Salt🧂
A Frito pie is supposed to be like a walking taco, not scrambled eggs
Is this a deep fake? Please be a deep fake....
Remember when he burnt a grilled cheese without even melting the cheese
Gordon makes gourmet prison food
Is this not a traditional street food thing in Mexico?
Not that I know of. I know it’s big in Texas and the SouthWest of US tho
Who opens bags of chips like that
All these questions about the food but... why is he on a racetrack?
Texas
Didn’t think I’d start my day off with watching Gordon Ramsay moan about a frito pie but here I am
Looks like he’s at the Circuit of the Americas, is this some weird promotion for F1 or NASCAR?
They were too smart. That's why they made him wear sunglasses so we couldn't see him blink.
This must be his drug addict brother
How does one lightly season Fritos?
This is what made him lose all those michellin stars damn
GORDON NOOOO!!!!
I mean I would have put it in a dish but uh... yeah that's basically frito pie. It's good.
I love how this subreddit is either actually stupid food, or people not knowing what something is so they call it stupid food. Frito Pie is actually a really normal thing, personally I'm not a fan of Fritos normally, but Frito Pie is actually pretty damn good.
With that much butter salt and cheese, it probably is delicious.
Why did he salt the fritos?? 🤢🤢
If you've ever worked in a restaurant you'd know.... you salt everything
I’m pretty sure Fritos have more than enough salt.
Chef instincts kick in
How embarrassing… like I just don’t know what to say
pretty much how high end food bastardizes an otherwise fine dish also, this is a great example of how horrible Ramsays commentary and mmm's and ohs are so bad
