Gordon's Great Escape



"In this globe-trotting docuseries, British alpha-chef Gordon Ramsay leaves his comfort zone and travels abroad to learn more about world cuisine, sampling popular dishes in India and Southeast Asia." Netflix description


People have been urging Gordo to get back in the kitchen for some time now, but the message was rather more to leave the cameras behind. He doesn't seem able to turn down the exposure (and presumably, the fees are pretty persuasive in troubled times) but in an attempt to salvage his reputation, he's turned to a different style of programming akin to the Stein or Oliver culinary travelogue / personal journey model. As his production company, Optomen, has it, "we'll gain insights into the real Gordon Ramsay. We'll see a very different side to the nation's favourite chef: more thoughtful, confessional, and open-minded".
