Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted

I never was too crazy about Gordon Ramsey, but now I have mad respect for the man on his quest for secretive exotic cuisine! Just genius!

Love this show. It is kind of heard to watch exploratory travel food shows after Anthony Bourdain (RIP) passsed but I am entertained by this show. Gordon is humble and at his best in this show. Most people will expect to see Gordon Ramsay cursing out an entire kitchen staff but in this show, he humbly turns the scathing reviews on himself and takes it like a champ for the sake of food education. I hope that Gordon will continue his journies in this show and help people shake off the discomfort of the post Covid pandemic world. I cannot say enough positive things about this show and I hope that this show will continue until Gordon is in his 80s or longer.

This is the first show that I've felt strongly enough about to actually write a review.

I really love cooking shows. Admittedly, most of them are very similar. This is different. Part Man Vs Wild and part Master Chef. I'm fascinated. Gordon Ramsay goes to exotic locations and learns how to make traditional cuisine from scratch. This includes catching eels in mountain ponds to scaling trees an a jungle searching for berries. I absolutely love exotic food and love learning how it's prepared. This show is fantastic!

Also, apparently Guinea pig is delicious...

The first seasons were brilliant. It was so much to discover so many places. So many lands. Cultures. Different cuisine. Secret ingredients. Lifestyle. And in the end some of the best chefs battling it out. It was a delight. Until the third season. It fell off a cliff. Europe and America don't need discoveries. What a waste to an otherwise amazing show.

Ramsey is a 16 star Micheline chef known from England to America as the unapologetic perfectionist in the kitchen. But this show takes him to places around the world where none of that matters.

He travels to countries where their cooking technics are as preserved as their way of life. With hand made bonfire as his oven, cooking with the most purest ingredients, he is taken completely out of his element to serve a dish worthy of the host's culture. Then in the end, Gordon faces off against the local chef.

This show is more a homage to the traditional cooking culture rather than an actual cooking show. He explores the culture and the traditions that come with the food. Something very different from his previous shows where Chef Ramsey is the universe everyone else aligns too.

There is a different side to Ramsey that is more humbled. But there are censored "beeeeeep" ringing throughout the show, just to let viewers know it is the same Gordon Ramsey.
