Gordon Ramsay Rips Ozempic Menus and Influencer Culture in Unfiltered Rant

Gordon Ramsay has never been one to mince words and in his latest interview, the celebrity chef unloaded on everything from Ozempic-inspired restaurant menus to social media-obsessed diners, leaving no doubt about where he stands in today’s cultural food fight.

When asked whether he would start offering reduced-portion menus for guests using popular weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro, Ramsay didn’t hold back:

“That is absolute bulls---. There’s no f------ way we’re giving in to the Mounjaro jab. The problem is with them [the diners] for eating too much in the first f------ place!”

The explosive comments came during a recent interview with The Sunday Times, where the 59-year-old “Hell’s Kitchen” star mocked the idea of a “mindful” menu created for users of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic—medications originally developed for type 2 diabetes but now popular among elites and influencers looking for a quick slim-down.

“There’s no way that we’re coming in with an Ozempic tasting menu to make you feel like less of a fat f--- by 10:30 in the evening,” Ramsay added.

His blunt comments are a direct rebuke of trendy chefs like Heston Blumenthal, who recently launched a scaled-down tasting menu for The Fat Duck in the U.K. designed with weight-loss drug users in mind.

But Ramsay isn’t just fed up with Big Pharma’s creeping influence on fine dining. He’s also calling out what he sees as the destruction of the restaurant experience by influencers more interested in TikTok fame than food.

“F------ ring lights and posting about how good the food is,” he said, venting about how phones are turning fine dining into a circus.

Ramsay pointed the finger squarely at American diners, calling them the “worst offenders” for disrupting meals with nonstop selfies and flashes. “They’re constantly taking f------ pictures with their flashlights on,” he said.

It’s no surprise Ramsay is drawing a hard line. With nearly 90 restaurants worldwide, the Michelin-starred chef has built a global empire by doing things his way no gimmicks, no pandering. His newest restaurant, Bonheur, just opened in London’s upscale Mayfair district and is expected to be what he calls “mostly influencer-free.”

“Bonheur will not be flooded with TikTokers,” he vowed.

This unapologetic stance stands in stark contrast to an industry increasingly bowing to social media trends and corporate pressure. From “plant-based everything” to “zero-calorie tasting menus,” the fine dining world has started chasing likes instead of excellence.

And Ramsay isn’t having it.

In a time when even the culinary elite are reshaping menus to placate Silicon Valley’s injectable diet crowd, Gordon Ramsay is doing what he’s always done: saying what everyone else is afraid to. That honesty brutal as it may be is exactly why millions trust his taste, and why his restaurants remain packed, Ozempic or not.
