In a move that shook both the culinary world and the political sphere, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay reportedly booted Minnesota Governor Tim Walz from his hit show Hell’s Kitchen last night, calling the politician a “fucking liberal” following a heated exchange over “politically incorrect” dishes on the menu.
The clash occurred during a special episode of Hell’s Kitchen , where celebrities and political figures were invited to put their culinary skills to the test. It was supposed to be a night of light competition, but with Walz’s progressive agenda clashing with Ramsay’s in-your-face attitude, things took a drastic turn. While most of the night’s competitors were okay with the challenges, which included preparing complicated dishes under intense time pressure, Walz expressed concern about some of the dishes that he deemed “culturally insensitive.”
The governor reportedly complained about a meat-heavy menu, claiming it was not environmentally sustainable and suggested swapping out the beef wellington for a plant-based option. “We need to think about our carbon footprint and make more responsible choices,” Walz reportedly said while pointing at the cuts of meat. Ramsay, known for his explosive temper, was having none of it.
As soon as the words left Walz’s mouth, those in the kitchen claimed you could almost see the steam coming out of Ramsay’s head. “What do you mean plant-based? This is Hell’s Kitchen , not a liberal daycare!” Ramsay shouted. “You want to save the planet? Fine, but don’t do it in my kitchen, you jackass!”
The confrontation quickly escalated. Walz, trying to maintain his composure, tried to explain how the meat industry contributes to climate change and how a more sustainable approach could be beneficial, but Ramsay wasn’t interested. “This is Hell’s Kitchen , not your fucking political campaign rally!” Ramsay snapped. “You’ve turned this kitchen into a joke. Do you want to cook or lecture me about saving the world? Because let me tell you something: no one has ever won Hell’s Kitchen with a kale salad!”
Witnesses claim Ramsay then ordered his kitchen team to throw all plant-based ingredients out of the kitchen, shouting: “No one is going vegan on my watch!”
Not one to back down easily, Gov. Walz reportedly attempted to take control of the kitchen, suggesting chefs replace butter with vegetable oils and insisting they use biodegradable utensils. By this point, Ramsay had reached his limit. “Get out of my kitchen, you fucking liberal!” he roared, slamming a spatula on the counter. “You wouldn’t know a well-seasoned dish if it hit you in the face!”
With that, Ramsay stormed toward Walz and dramatically pointed him toward the door. The governor, shocked and red-faced with embarrassment, was escorted out of the kitchen by producers, but not before muttering something about “reaching out to the culinary community for more progressive options.”
Back in the kitchen, Ramsay turned to his team of chefs and shouted, “Okay, now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s focus on cooking actual FOOD!” The tension immediately dissipated as the contestants frantically resumed their attempts to impress the famously demanding chef.
Social media exploded as soon as the episode aired, with the hashtag #WokeCreep trending within hours. Ramsay’s fans praised his showdown with Walz, celebrating what many saw as a victory against the political correctness infiltrating the world of fine dining. “This is why we love Ramsay: he doesn’t hold back and doesn’t let anyone ruin his cooking with liberal nonsense,” one fan tweeted.
Unwilling to let Ramsay have the final say, Gov. Tim Walz took to Twitter the next morning. “Last night’s experience in Hell’s Kitchen proves we still have a long way to go when it comes to implementing sustainable and responsible culinary practices,” Walz tweeted. “I will not apologize for standing up for what is right, even in the kitchen. The planet matters, and I will continue to fight for it, no matter how many times I get kicked out.”
Predictably, Walz’s tweet was met with a flood of responses from Ramsay fans who didn’t buy his attempt to put a favorable spin on the event. One user commented, “Find a tofu cooking show if that’s what you want. Leave the real food for Ramsay!” Another joked, “Maybe try the next Chopped challenge — who knows, they might have a kale salad round.”
Ramsay, never one to shy away from a social media showdown, decided to respond in classic Ramsay fashion. “To be clear, I am all for sustainability, just not in my kitchen when I’m trying to run a cooking competition. Let’s keep politics out of this and focus on what’s important: making good food. And if Tim Walz wants to try this again, I’ll make sure to have plenty of plant-based options waiting for him — straight from the trash!”
The chef’s response garnered tens of thousands of likes and retweets, further cementing his reputation as someone who doesn’t bow to the demands of political leanings, even if it means taking on high-profile figures.
It’s unclear whether Ramsay will continue to invite political figures to Hell’s Kitchen or whether this disastrous episode has put an end to that trend. What is clear, however, is that Gordon Ramsay has no time for progressivism in his kitchen, and anyone who tries to introduce it will likely suffer the same fate as Gov. Tim Walz.
Meanwhile, Hell’s Kitchen fans are eagerly awaiting to see which celebrity or politician will be next to clash with Ramsay. After all, if there’s one thing that keeps the show interesting, it’s watching the world’s most explosive chef put people in their place. And for Tim Walz, it’s safe to say his place is far from Gordon Ramsay’s kitchen.
While Ramsay continues to maintain his unwavering approach to cooking and politics, the episode serves as a reminder that some chefs will never compromise their kitchens for anyone’s agenda—progressive or otherwise. Whether you’re a fan of Ramsay’s explosive temper or a believer in Walz’s sustainable vision, one thing is certain: There’s no fury greater than Gordon Ramsay in the midst of a kitchen battle.
