David, Not sure I’m spearheading the backlash – I quite like him – but certainly there are plenty of people who dislike him I guess i don’t have him turning my local pub into a gstropub although no doubt someone else will do it to me one day.

Looks like you are spearheading the Ramsay backlash and it is catching on!

[...] We drank it with lobster with Gordon Ramsay’s saffron Aioli. But wait this gets better. The Lee brothers will even allow you to custom make your own sparkling. You can watch the disgorgement and select the dosage of sugar you’d prefer to put in each bottle. What you do is taste the house range sparklers plus some dosed at differing levels. You can even select the blend of the wine. As the Foxy boys say on their website: “Sweeter? Dryer? White? Pink? It’s up to you to create the chemistry that’s perfect for your palate. Foxeys Hangout will keep a record of your specifications so that we can recreate your unique blend should you wish to re-order…” If that’s not enough for you I’m going to break the rules. There are still champagnes that are made with passion and avoid the generic qualities of the mass marketed varieties. Just go out and swig down a bottle of Jacques Selosse Substance grand cru brut made from 100 per cent chardonnay grapes. The bottle I tried with my, as yet unnamed, wine group was different to any champagne I’ve ever had. In fact it tastes a bit like a white burgundy. As one of the group (I can’t remember who because we weren’t spitting and I later fell off my bicycle) said: “This is the other side of champagne.” You can find it at The Melbourne Wine Room (125 Fitzroy St, St Kilda 3182 +61 3 9525 5599) at AU$400 a bottle.

Ellie, When To Gear reaturns to SBS on Monday evenings you’ll know who Jeremy Clarkson is.

Lucas, glad you enjoyed it despite GR. What about JC?

I love how the lobster that a hand pulls out of the sea has a free claw (I think – it goes past fast!), but when you see the supposedly same hand attached to Gordon it has a band around it.
If I am wrong, then in any case he is still pulling banded lobsters out of the net!
Nonetheless, I still enjoyed this – thanks Ed. Unfortunately I still don’t like GR!

I have no idea who Jeremy Clarkson is, but now I’ll never be able to forget him – the look on his face when Ramsay tells him about the “shit sack” is priceless.

And Gordon can come over and help me make Sunday lunch any time! So different from his persona on Hells Kitchen…
