So if Ramsay has advice on what not to order when eating out, it is probably wise to listen to him.
The celebrity chef founded his restaurant group, Gordon Ramsay Restaurants, in 1997 and since then his eateries have been awarded a total of 17 Michelin stars.
Ramsay became one of the world’s best-known chefs after starring in the fly-on-the-wall documentary series Boiling Point in 1999.
He’s since become known for presenting TV programmes such as The F Word, MasterChef, Hotel Hell and Next Level Chef.
In an interview with Town & County, Ramsay is asked what is the one thing you should never order at a restaurant.
The world-famous chef reveals that he would never order the soup of the day, as there’s a possibility the restaurant could just be reusing the day before’s soup – which means it isn’t fresh.
Ramsay tells the publisher: “Ask what yesterday’s soup du jour was before today’s special. It may be the case that it’s the soup du month.”
The MasterChef judge also explains why Valentine’s Day is the ‘worst day of the year to go out’ for a meal.
Ramsay says that ‘busy kitchens’ result in diners not getting the ‘true feeling of the restaurant’.
He adds that nothing is ‘more romantic’ than cooking a meal for your partner on the most romantic day of the year anyway.
Previously, the Next Level Chef star has shared his three golden rules that customers should follow when eating at a restaurant if they want the best experience possible.
Ramsay told the Daily Mail that customers should avoid specials, be suspicious of outlandish boasts and be prepared to haggle for their wine.
He explained that when an eatery ‘lists 10 specials’, they definitely aren’t that special.
When it comes to wine, Ramsay added: “We have a fear about talking to sommeliers because you think you’re going to be ripped off.
