Gordon Ramsay has made it clear he has no intention of changing restaurant menus to accommodate people using weight-loss injections such as Ozempic. In an interview with the Sunday Times published on November 9, the 59-year-old chef responded with his already known explosive temper: “There’s no way you’re going to have an Ozempic tasting menu by 10:30 p.m. just to make you feel less fat.” This can also be translated into “There’s no way you’re going to have an Ozempic tasting menu at 10:30 p.m. just to make you feel less fat.”

Ramsay’s comments came after chef Heston Blumenthal announced a reduced-portion, “mindful” dining experience at his Fat Duck restaurant. Mr Ramsay, in turn, scoffed at the idea, saying: “It’s complete bullshit,” adding: “It’s outrageous that we would succumb to Munjaro’s jab.” This could be translated as, “This is bullshit. We’re not going to succumb to the Munjaro wave.”
“The problem is that they eat too much in the first place!” added the chef.

During the same interview, Ramsay also criticized the behavior of influencers who use cell phones at tables. “Posts that promote LED lights or the deliciousness of the food are no good,” he said, adding that in the U.S., it is “worst etiquette” for customers to take photos of their food with a flashlight.
