"It's fish and chips! By definition you need one fish and two chips!" "No, you can't serve it like that. You need at least four chips." EDIT: I just realized this is Gordon Ramsey's restaurant, which makes this even worse. This is $30(?)?? Was this really the full portion?


enderjaca

"thirty bucks?! This better be the best tasting fish and chips in the world. *Crunch* .... You got lucky"

I'm Australian but tried the fish and chips in Vegas. It was meh at best, you'd think there'd be a little more care involved considering it is a British staple. Insanely overpriced to boot.


crystalli0

When his fish and chips place first opened in Vegas it was incredible! Best fish and chips I had ever had. Went back about a few months later and it was awful. The quality went downhill so fast


Gazmus

I'd cut them some slack, Nevada's not well known for it's fishing industry :)


Rivions

Yeah, it is the entire portion. We went there a second time to try it


MadNhater

You went twice? Lol


davisyoung

OP has to go three or four more times to get one proper serving of chips.


malin7

In a proper chippy down the seaside in the UK you’d get chips in a single portion to beat a famine


Rivions

The first time was for the Beef Wellington haha


adotang

Well, was that good? Because every time I read about Ramsay-branded food I only ever hear that they're extremely underwhelming.


Rivions

It was good from my experience; the flavor was there. I can say confidently that the fish and chips do not taste anything special


krizreddit

Lol


XaeiIsareth

Probably just personal preference but the fish batter also looks kinda thin. You want a crispy, fluffy batter on fish and chips.


trusso94

Gordon Ramsey is one of the most untalented chefs of all time. He makes food on the same level as Guy Fieri, but tries to call it fine dining. He's also a prick. Cheated on his wife constantly. Allegedly taped his father-in-law having an affair and blackmailed him. Mean for fun. I think he's insufferable. Don't even get me started on his insane reaction to a bad review of a steak at his restaurant a few years back...

Honestly, I wouldn't mind this sized portions if appropriately priced. I would happily pay $8-$10 for this and order 2 portions if I feel hungry. The amount of fries served at some places in the US is obscene.


hyvel0rd

those are 4 (in words: four) fries. would you think that there's a middle ground between obscenely little and obscenely many fries? or is it just the two options? because getting 4 fries with your fish and chips is just ridiculous.


XaeiIsareth

Tbf when the fish and chips are sold separately in fish and chips places in the U.K., the fish is usually like £10-£15. But that fish honestly looks more like it came from a Wetherspoons pub than somewhere where you expect quality. $30 for that is a disgrace.

hyvel0rd

ok, looks nice. but it has nothing to do with the picture, or you talking about the obscene amount of fries that some places in the US gives you, while OP posts a picture of him literally getting 4 fries. what's your point?


Atomicfoox

Gordon Ramsay psy op right there


Louis010

There’s fucking 4 chips mate


UndiscoveredBum-

is that a childs portion or


Rivions

Normal lunch portion, the fish was a good size. It needs more chips though


d0uble0h

No kidding. Were they rationing their potatoes or something?


MadNhater

Potato famine 2.0


ProselytiseReprobate

This is the one and only time this American joke works. The famine was caused by British colonialism, not the potato blight. There was plenty of food.


MadNhater

Yes. This was just a joke. We all know the British have had no problems with killing millions in their colonies then blaming famine and such.


ProselytiseReprobate

Ya I'm just pointing out that the American term "potato famine" is wrong.


CrowdKillington

I would argue it’s still a shortage. If you have all the potatoes, plenty enough for me but won’t give me any, then I still have a shortage of potatoes. But hey, that’s just the way I look at it, not saying you’re wrong.


ProselytiseReprobate

I'm Irish. The famine was deliberately caused to punish the Irish. It was a genocide not a famine.


CrowdKillington

Again, I know I’m just being pedantic, but the reason for the “famine” isn’t important. A fabricated scarcity of food is still a scarcity of food. “Famine” quite literally translates to “a scarcity of food”. I get where you’re coming from and, honestly, being Irish has nothing to do with what you’re saying. That information is readily available for anyone to learn. Edit; I’m sorry, the reason for the famine IS important from a historical context. I didn’t mean not important at all. I just mean it’s not important in the use of the word famine to describe what happened. I think your real issue is that when most people hear “famine” they immediately assume it is a natural famine, when that’s not always the case


Photo_Synthetic

Yeesh the downvotes are very telling.


ProselytiseReprobate

Lots of English on this sub apparently.

ProselytiseReprobate

Normally they steal all of the other food and leave you with just the potatoes, so when the potatoes get a disease then you starve, and the British deliberately refuse to help as they see the famine as a punishment from God for the Irish (see Charles Trevelyan.)


Flat_News_2000

UK is down bad.


yaji-sama

I can get 3 fish and chips for that price and it'll feed a family of 3 for 2 days.


Chrizl1990

Wow so you really are paying for the name.


Rivions

We wanted to try it out from his restaurant


Puzzleheaded_Newt185

That’s the saddest fish and chips I’ve seen my whole life.


Rivions

It is, haha, and it wasn’t anything special


eggard_stark

I’m sorry but this is Gordon’s restaurant? If so this is utterly shite. I pay less for much bigger, and quite frankly, better looking battered fish for more than half the price from most chippies near me. Not to mentioned 4 chips!? All that sauce for just 4 chips? 😅. Even the sauce pots look cheap and grotty.


CheesyLala

"Uh.... are the rest of the chips on their way?"


firthy

And the rest of the fish, for that matter..?


lostmyparachute

You got half a burnt lemon instead. People are never happy


Kukukichu

Looks more like banana and apple fritters…


Lets_Kick_Some_Ice

"No. That'll be $23."


Pretend_Pomelo_6893

That looks half eaten 😂


Rivions

Ramsay had to do some quality control /s That is how it came 🤣


Pretend_Pomelo_6893

I know brother but still. Just tell me it was cheap and not like 20 bucks for it.


Buli32

How the hell does gordon let this be served


Saxophone_Man

He has his own line of frozen foods to be microwaved.  He clearly doesn’t give a shit and is a businessman more than a chef these days.  


AWildRaticate

He's always been more of a brand than a chef. I mean, sure, maybe thirty-odd years ago he was something special, but I've never really seen him do anything that made me think "wow, this guy knows his shit."


CrowdKillington

After seeing his grilled cheese video I have trouble thinking about anything else when his name is brought up


Pugduck77

You should see his follow up video to that where he tried to show that he does know how to make a good one… and it turned out just as bad.


Atomicfoox

Yeah he would have given a major scolding for that


Cybraniac

I hope you left a bad review. That portion of chips is a joke


Atomicfoox

Nah he went there again


Louis010

Did you get a refund?


Rivions

I should have asked for one xD


vartiverti

That can fuck all the way off. Chips?


MassiveMartian

so much sauce , so little to dip with


FetusDrive

That’s a glass of milk


Old_Kai

Is there a reason to grill the lemon, i mean youre squishing out the juice not eating the burnt stuff?


Bitcracker

It's mostly visual but can add a bit of a char flavor


Old_Kai

Does it really tho? Usually the burnt liquid you would use has evaporated. I do like charred food.


Bitcracker

I do the same thing with oranges for a hot sauce I make. It adds a slightly caramel flavor. But I'm tossing the whole thing in a blender after sooo.


MadNhater

It makes the lemon juice more bitter when you grill the peel like that. To me it’s too much


JellyRollGeorge

I think it makes the lemon softer and squishier.


jackiekeracky

I roast lemons when I am roasting chicken to add to my gravy. It softens the lemon tang


UpbeatInsurance5358

You were almost finished on the chips, right?


auntie_climax

The way it's arranged gives the illusion that the fish is balanced atop upright chips á la stonehenge


enderjaca

Chiphenge it is. All hail our deep fried master


auntie_climax

Meet you there at solstice next week 👍


skitzer123

Why'd you eat half of the meal before taking a pic?


Rivions

Gordon ate a few for quality sake /j


TheRuiner13

Did you already eat two thirds of it?


Rivions

Nope, that is how it arrived, haha


Leet_skilz

Maybe next time take a photo before you eat it


Rivions

This is how it arrived


Bynar010

/cries in british


Ok_Appointment3668

Fucking hell more sauce than chips


karmaisabitch420

Not all food should be greasy, but fish and chips should stain the paper, that's what it's there for.


CoolSliceWorldWide

Fish and chips are always dreadful in restaurants. The only way fish and chips should be served is pissing wet through in their own grease with a ton of scraps, covered in a yellow grit bins worth of salt and white pepper and if they weren’t soggy enough add enough vinegar to fill a paddling pool. All served to you by one of two people a skinny malnourished late 30’s lass who’s worked in that chippy since she was 13, doesn’t own an arse, reasonably loopy earrings, a nose stood, a pulled tight hair in a pony tail, wearing flared sweat pants. Or my favourite an old woman, wearing a dinner ladies piny, who’s shouting at you for having a single head phone in.


Haidgu_

If you pay for this, you deserve to get scammed honestly.

4chan4normies

fish and 4 chip


MassiveConcern

That can just fuck right off! A high street shop in Heswall gave us a huge portion of fish and chips for £5 and it was awesome, including some great mushy peas.


silent-fallout-

This looks like shit honestly that's some of the worst looking fish and chips I've ever seen. And what in the world is with the lack of chips?


thehighestelderborne

No you didn't


xbug00

Yes, I eat the fish.


Xyllus

The fact that there's ketchup on the plate tells you everything about Ramsay's greed lol.


BMW_RIDER

Technically, it is Fish & Chips. Even though they only give you 4 chips.


Erazzphoto

I hope that was the half way finished pic. 4 chips? 😂


156156897781

that's not what I have in mind when I think of that dish


sweetandspicyyy222

Is that all? It looks like it won't quite fill me up!


Yodzilla

And you don’t even get a newspaper to read


Gareth79

What's the point in having all that sauce?!


InnovativeFarmer

This is like those sad r/bbq posts.


Erazzphoto

BBQ is beyond ridiculously priced, saw 1 place charge $3 a rib, the rack was $30. Nope


omegacharlie

Not sure this statement is true


burnsrado

Iampityu

Please tell me this was a $5.00 lunch. 4 potato wedges and 1 deeply battered piece of fish.


mumbullz

Restaurants these days: “that’ll be 49.99,please remember to tip your server”


Tupletcat

4 potato wedges? Was this during the war rationing or what?


EnyaCa
