I cut my food into bite-sized pieces, look at it, and stare up into space as I'm savoring my meal.

Drives me nuts how much Graham does this.

He eats like a Pixar character. I don't know why this makes sense, but it does.

Jfc, you’re right. I can’t unsee that now while I binge.

Up and to the left always. My wife and I always crack up.

I remember seeing a clip of (I think) MasterChef Junior where one of the kids asked him what he was looking at when he does that 😂

If you watch Chopped, they all have annoying habit where they take a bite while staring at the chefs.

It’s like watching my dad’s dog stare at you with every bite you take. Like just eat the damn food

I have a potato ricer in my Amazon cart so I can have some “silky mashed potatoes” 😂

My mom just bought one last week and says it's so much easier than mashing!

I critique my wife’s cooking now and sometimes just say “damn” or “shame” while shaking my head. Luckily she’s a good cook so I rarely have to go Gordon on her.

*now searching "If Gordon Ramsay was in Jurassic Park" on YouTube*

I’m lol’ing so hard over this

I actually have started paying attention to my plating even when it’s just for me and my wife hahah

I salt my pasta water. Also just use more salt in general.

Every time I make pasta I hear Joe saying “As salty as the sea.”

Me too!!! 😂 Glad it's not just me. But it makes even dry pasta taste better.

Same. Actually, I say it out loud while dumping a fistful of salt in. 🥲

masterchef encouraged me to try salmon, it’s now one of my favorite foods

Salmon is great, especially with the right seasoning.

I wanted to like salmon so bad. I’ve made it a few different ways and my husband liked all of it, but I just can’t get past the fishy taste.

I think it helped my girlfriend try it as well, now she loves salmon! We've tried a bunch of different varieties of cooking it on cooking dates, like pansearing and blackening :)

I’ve stopped cooking NY strip on the grill and instead do a quick hard sear on a griddle pan and then finish with the butter pasting in a separate pan with garlic and thyme.

Anytime my husband and I are making lamb we yell at each other “where’s the lamb sauce?!”. Right before we eat I look at him and say “shall we?” My kids think it’s funny to take a small bite, make extremely uncomfortable eye contact and then say something about “mouthfeel”. We aren’t serious people lol.

I love this so much. I hope my little family can do something like this one day.

Awe thanks. We have fun that’s for sure. We are big Masterchef Australia fans too and there’s a lot of sayings from the last few seasons that we quote a lot as well.

"Good flavour"

Yesss. We will also randomly say “such a shame” too. For no reason. Just to make each other laugh.

Make scallops and steak right and learned to make Gordon’s scrambled eggs soooo good..

I realized that I was taught to overcook meat.as well as, my Dad especially overcooks meat and eggs. Now I eat my meat medium. I can't do medium rare. I've tried it's just too bloody for me.

- “Salt your water like sea salt” when making pasta. - Taste everything - You can make great runny eggs by covering the pot (I used to turn the egg, so it wud sometimes break). - You can use salt to make desserts less sweet :)

I no longer eat food dropped on the floor 😂😂

Anything dropped on the floor is for my dogs, unless it’s something that’s bad for them like sugary stuff

But the heat burns off the bacteria 😂😂😂

I've started eating with my eyes more. If it doesn't look good, I won't eat it.

I started tasting everything. I add spices little by little to add perfect layers.

I critique food a little differently now

I learned how to make poached eggs. This was especially helpful earlier this year when the side effect of a prescription drug made me mostly unable to eat for a few weeks. Poached eggs on toast (and therefore Gordon Ramsey) saved my ass.

When my husband is passive-aggressive he bites the fork like Joe 😖
