I love seeing experts in a certain field explain their ways of doing things. Gordon being so interested and listening makes it even better.
@Stick This is some kid just trying to make it as a content creator, commenting and sparking interest in his channel, lay off him dude.
That's why Gordon is as good as he is, he goes all over the world learning about cooking styles and foods nobody's ever heard of or thought about. He never stops learning.
@@Goshjij Still spam.
He’s always a student of the game 👊
@@Goshjij he literally has 0 videos, the only content he's creating is these comments
"Gotta have some secrets" Gordon sniffs "Honey"

Ramsey is great. He's so quiet and respectful when with someone he knows he can learn something from. Now his teaching on the other hand... He's tough, but you can tell he cares.
watch Masterchef Junior, a lot of why he explodes is people who should know better doing the wrong thing and refusing to even admit it is the wrong thing. And a lot of times it is stupidly simple things that any chef should know better.
My favorite is when he blows up on the restaraunt owners in Kitchen Nightmares, since they basically shouldn't have any business working with food since they ignore basic food safety protocols.
@@DeNihility having worked in many kitchens and having lots of friends in the industry I can say those food safety procols get ignored all the time, even in high end restaurants.
@HahThatsWhatSheSaid Yeah, obviously not every joint is like this but a surprising number don't really follow protocol, especially places with an extremely high volume of customers
Lol I could’ve taught the same things when I was in 3rd grade in California
Videos like this and the caviar farm are my favorite kinds of Gordon content. He has such a deep appreciation for these things but just a surface level knowledge of the technical process of it that he can dive in with such genuine enthusiasm.
I'm sure the craftsman guy was only too happy to welcome the world-famous chef and his film crew from National Geographic, because of ... his enthusiasm, that's it.
Grilled cheese is pretty good 😁
@@AlanHope2013 he is talking about himself liking Gordon’s enthusiasm in the videos had nothing to do with the craftsman this comment literally makes no sense lmao
I know what youre talking about, i loved the caviar video
I liked the caviar episode too, do you like the wild boar episode?
"There is a reason I had 5 kids" too funny.
Ahhh ! Now now you know all too well you’re like me you have 5 children because you didn’t know what causes that. 😂 I have 2 sons now grown men who are married when they were born I was stunned to oblivion. 😳 Now I see their children actually my grandchildren! 😳 oh my goodness peel Me off the ground I feel like I belong in a mental institution 😂 🧬 GENETICS.

Was half expecting snoop dog to pop his head out…
i was hoping to see a comment about this
gotta smoke to increase your munch
This is how the best days begin and end
Hahahha
Love seeing Ramsey outside of “reality” tv Just him and his love of food and personality is really him at his best.
Even in the reality tv, that is what he is like. He always responds well to people with passion.
If you watch the UK versions of his show, it is more realistic. He would point out the mistake, but also show them how to correct it so they can learn. It is just the American version have excessive editing and sound effect, focusing on the conflicts and him shouting at people.
@@georgiegan The American version is literally like adding vine boom sound effects.
Hes probably the most diverse. Hes literally been everywhere and tried all cuisine and fully understands it probably more than anyone seriously. The places hes been... little tribes hes cooked with... took their methods that are 1000s of years old and respected it. Hes not some tv cook... hes the most experienced and diverse probably in the history of culinary arts
@@adamturner8732 HaHaHa 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Seeing Gordon around someone he respects is truly amazing.
Honestly he lacks respect most of the time and could be a lot more humble for his own good
@@arthurragan1332 Gordon respects people who deserve respect
@@staym4961 Yeah, but Gordon is human and flawed just as any of us in other aspects, he can make mistakes as well in who to respect and not to, personally you don't know Gordon so whose to say he's disrespecting those who do deserve respect? He's not god outside of culinary arts my friend.
@@arthurragan1332 Have you only seen him on American shows? They amp up his antagonism for the drama. The British shows are much better at showing him as a deep and caring professional.
@Allen Tokyoo are you referring to Ramsey or the people he disrespects for often dumb reasons
Always love seeing Gordon enjoying food from other places
Reminds me of Anthony Bourdain

But Gordon screams at people on Tik Tok if they dont cook things like a frenchman. Strange. He tbinks there's onky one wsy to make food but cant make a grilled cheese. Stop worshiping rich people.
The way Gordon goes for a high five then grabs your hand all awkwardly as they connect should be a felony.
He’s not going for a high five, he’s going for an upward handshake. There’s a difference
@@hotdawg8286 An upward handshake? Is that a European thing?

This may be the best video of Gordon Ramsey I've ever seen. His appreciation for something so beautiful and natural in the United States warms my heart.
He was far more amazed when he tried the farmed caviar
Just came to say the farmed caviar episode. He was swooning
The whole show is basically like that. Gordon taking us along, learning about food and culture you not usually hear about (which after watching each episode - it is a shame)
@@rossegan7244 I love this European insecurity.

If Gordon wanted to flex he'd have told him about the time he banged *_two chicks at the same time_*
@@ikigai47 w h a t
Now they talk about how many cats they have
Love the chemistry between Gordon and Adam. What a life he must have over there.
I am from new england and love the fact we have so many areas for fresh oysters. Each region has a different taste so when you are at an oyster bar you have your pick of 7-8 regions ranging from sweetness to levels of brine. They are delicious.
You just have free, unlimited protein, zinc, selenium, etc all free, organic, fresh. How amazing. Maybe I'll visit Maine and hike along those rivers and have a fresh oyster like they did.
The oyster bar near me has a cool story. It started out as an oyster farm but as they got bigger the owner ended up buying a dockspace for workers to use. The space had a rundown restaurant on the land, so he ended up turning it into a restaurant to sell the oysters. They did really well and now its like a 5 star restaurant with a weeks-long waiting list out in the marshes.
Yes, but.... the single most important question goes unanswered: HOW CAN I BUY THIS MAN'S OYSTERS?????
Come up to maine 😂
Look up 'North Haven Oyster Company', that's the farm that Adam Campbell (the oyster farmer in the video) runs.
lame, they don't sell the smoked finished product only the raw oysters@@danw4237
Plot twist: When he said "Let's go smoke some big ones" he wasn't talking about the oysters
Lmao giving Gordon that nice Maine welcome.
good tree in maine :)
Big Doinks
It's amazing when you realize how much great food is put on earth for us to enjoy. I don't think I'll ever be able to appreciate oysters, but I'm sure this is exciting for many.
I bet if you had one of his you'd change your mind. I've had a few truly special oysters (both raw and smoked) in my life and it's quite different than the old fishy boogers you get in most restaurants.
I was always that weird nerd in class who was super interested in really odd or random stuff other people weren't, and it SUCKED getting bullied because of it. It's been so amazing to grow up and watch how experts like Gordon Ramsay nerd out in the exact same way about random stuff like fresh oysters in a riverbed. It makes me feel like I'm not weird after all. Or, maybe more accurately, I am weird and there are lots of other people just like me.
Glad your got your r ❤️😘edemption through and in life.
You freak. Jk
Keep learning about about new and interesting things - Let bullies remain ignorant. It's their lose, and you have everything to gain from not letting them drag you down like crabs in a bucket. You'll be the better off one, in the long run.
Adam: "we have olive oil with other secret ingredients ." (Gordon takes one wiff) Gordon.- "I can see right through you."
"nothing's caged" amazing right? i hate it when oysters fly away when i approach them
Certently 😂😂
lol
@@THINKPATH Not much of a learner are ya? Beside that, old ''fact'' you've been using the same ol' trick for a while now.
A lot of Oyster farms use cages to keep the Oysters together and of consistent size. My dog doesn't have wings, but he goes in a cage (Kennel) when I leave the house.....

Few sleeves of saltines and I’m in
Love how Gordon shows way more respect for hard working humble people that what he shows even for millonaries eating at his restaurante.
Gordon actually really vibed with this fellow father. Pretty cool
He loves food so much, he reacted like a crack junky being offered another fix, when he got asked if he would like to try one oyster right now xd
I lived in a boat that was docked near an oyster packing plant, they would return the shells to the shore and at low tide….. it was the best. There were shrimp that hung out on the docks at night, a fish net, flashlight and stick and you could scoop up two pounds of them. This video brings me back.
That’s illegal
I love canned smoked oysters. I can't imagine how fresh smoked oysters taste. They must melt in your mouth.
They are the best I love canned oysters as well but fresh is hands down the best
Canned smoked oysters are absolute garbage compared to freshly smoked ones. I really love canned ones but the moment I tasted freshly smoked ones down on fisherman's wharf, it was a complete paradigm shift of preference. They are that good
Some people don't appreciate how good a *happy* Gordon is. Always warms me to see him enjoying what's going on and having so much fun learning new things about what he loves. 💕
"Gotta have some secrets" Gordon: I'm about to interrogate this man's career
yeah
What a cool spot to be at. Oysters were everywhere. Little disappointed Gordon didnt cook something up. Was fun to watch. Great video
“share the love.” the best thing i’ve heard today.
Best things in life: - watching people pretend they enjoy scotch - watching people pretend they enjoy caviar - watching people pretend they enjoy oysters
Born and raised in Maine, glad to see our great state get the recognition it deserves :)
Can’t get there from here !! Englander here so.
I think Gordon is the last guy you want tasting your secret sauce on camera. He’ll start naming every ingredient. He has a gift of palette.
Even in these short videos, Gordon shows he's much more than just that "screaming chef" for which he's (in)famous. He is intense. He listens intensely, is intensely enthusiastic about food, intensely empathetic towards customers, and cares intensely about the processes of preparing food. I've learned a lot simply by observing his mannerisms in different situations. He's one of the most engaged listeners I've ever seen. If I go to a new job or if I'm in a position where I'm gathering information, I try to emulate his behavior when he's listening and taking in as well. Notice how little input he gives, besides affirmations, questions and short recapitulations. When he gets to try an oyster, he doesn't do what many TV-personalities do; "look at this, big, creamy, that's perfect, wow, tastes fantastic, there's so many of them here, look right here..." - no, just a simple "wow...", and he lets the other person take the initiative again. This, to me, is what separates him from his peers; he can be the most intense leader with abrupt and even abrasive communicative behavior, but he can also put himself in the most extremely passive, listening role when the situation asks for it, and let the expert and his food do all the talking for him.
That’s spot on
be honest. youre a fan
We get it. You hate Gordon Ramsey's guts.
I think this is how he normally is. He’s probably a hardass in the kitchen but US kitchen nightmares he probably exaggerates
Definitely one of my favorite snacks but with a drop of Tabasco. I can't believe that Gordon didn't drop an f bomb in there somewhere.
Hot sauce ain’t a bad choice, but you’re sleeping if you’re not messing with the lemon/cocktail sauce
Are you kidding me? I'm in NYC and have tried it all. Invest in the "Sauce Bible". Best book I ever bought.
Some hot sauce and horseradish .
@@INDRIDCOLD83 you got that right chief. Those two with oysters is a match made in heaven imo.
@@INDRIDCOLD83 Just the strong horseradish for me. The kind that will send your lungs 🫁 to another dimension.
I am so glad Gordon does videos like this, they are not only entertaining they teach alot. Amazon, car hop trays.
Gordon always down to earth and willing to listen to people who are good at what they do. Politicians do the opposite.
It’s the hand movements that Gordon does that makes me need to watch him all the time.
There is a down side to oysters in Maine. They are an invasive species and they do damage the natural river bed. They also out compete other native bivalves. But they are very tasty. I recommend the ones that come from the Damariscotta river in Damariscotta/Newcastle.
Ah I didn’t know that. What mollusks are native there, blue mussels and clams?
Actually north haven (featured in this video) is just southeast of the damariscotta. Very close to each other
Dscotta have the best for sure
now that's a quality problem
@@benh4222 naa if it's invasive and tasty it's sure going to be a delicious problem
It’s an absolute beautiful thing to watch someone with as much expertise as Ramsey learning something from other people and cultures! The way he opens up and takes it all in is like a child in a candy store, wanting to try the next thing!
Even a master can still be a student. Gordon is humble, acknowledges when he learns and thanks the teacher.
Imagine being able to detect a subtle aroma like honey through the pungent aroma of smoked oysters in oil.
Honey is quite distinctive and strong smelling. I would say any professional chef probably would've picked it up. Potentially even normal adults. I can't say though as obviously I haven't smelt it.
Lmao Ramsey is a savage took a jar to figure out the ingredients 🤣
u cant hide "secrets" from him
Im glad someone realized that. And he felt bad saying no to him on TV. Chefs easily can deconstruct ingredients with time lol.
@@Hellopleesh you bet that's why gordon took the jar. he's gonna sit there and have a session of enjoying them while trying to make them himself xD
2:14 Gordon throwing shapes on the dance floor

Good to see Gordon in New England. It is an underrated gem of the culinary world.
I live in Australia and it makes me so sad to be so far away from New England. The seafood there looks absolutely unreal.
@@r0bz0rly Recently moved to New England. I am not exaggerating when I say it is 90% because when I was traveling around the area (Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont), I had to struggle to find a bad meal. And yes, the seafood in the coastal towns is as good as it looks. New Bedford scallops are my personal favorite.
