EW: The Show's Lola Ogunnaike thought she would stash away some post-SAG Award dumplings in her refrigerator for a week or so, but chef Gordon Ramsay is not going to let that happen._  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Feb 21, 2017 5:39 PM UTC  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Feb 21, 2017 5:39 PM UTC It seems like an innocent social media interaction at first glance: Twitter users submit photos of their homemade dishes to _MasterChef_‘s Michelin-starred guru [Gordon Ramsay](http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2025898%5F2025900%5F2026132,00.html?iid=sr-link2), a notorious (and [notoriously foul-mouthed](http://time.com/3985472/gordon-ramsay-late-late-show/?iid=sr-link1)) culinary icon, looking for feedback on the presentation. But Ramsay’s Twitter wit is as sharp—and dangerous—as his kitchen tools and fiery onscreen persona. > [](https://twitter.com/Ayybolognese/status/833918899745865729) > [](https://twitter.com/GordonRamsay/status/833923826391986176) And there’s much, much more where that came from. Ramsay has been on something of a rampage, dishing out cuttingly snarky burns in response to a number of home chef’s submissions. Warning: this is _not_ an appetizing collection of food-related tweets. > [](https://twitter.com/GordonRamsay/status/833924624853250049) > [](https://twitter.com/GordonRamsay/status/833809329719369730) > [](https://twitter.com/GordonRamsay/status/833774743375319040) > [](https://twitter.com/GordonRamsay/status/833804850408230912) > [](https://twitter.com/GordonRamsay/status/833549939657502720) > [](https://twitter.com/GordonRamsay/status/833549523301437440) > [](https://twitter.com/GordonRamsay/status/833775155360866304) He wasn’t all burns, though. In one instance, he provided a helpful suggestion of how to improve this chocolate torte. > [](https://twitter.com/GordonRamsay/status/833799233446703105) He even went so far as to give his stamp of approval to a few creations. Just goes to show: the _MasterChef_ may be savage when it comes to dishes that don’t meet his high standards, but he still respects a job well done. > [](https://twitter.com/GordonRamsay/status/833564970650521600) > [](https://twitter.com/GordonRamsay/status/833799444776701952) But if you can’t handle the heat of a masterful diss, you may want to get out of his Twitter mentions. ## Transcript [ MUSIC ] If I could go back home now, look inside your fridge, what would be the first thing that jumps out. Old dumplings that I need to throw away. [ LAUGH ] [ LAUGH ] Old dumplings? Old You keep- Dumplings. dumplings? Chicken dumplings. You keep chicken dumplings in the fridge? Well here's the thing- Lola. I went to the SAG awards this weekend. Right. Humblebrag. Right. And I had dumplings that I planned to eat that night but then I was like I can't eat these dumplings and fit in my dress so I didn't eat the dumplings and the dumplings are still there. So you work at an awards ceremony? Yes. Then you take the food to go. I should have done that. That's so bad. I'm so awful. That's so bad. I'm so So ashamed of myself. And the smell of chicken dumplings the next day. [ LAUGH ] Not fresh. Not good. Can you just curse me out Gordon Ramsay style and make me throw those dumplings away. [ LAUGH ] I am so tough with you you've got no idea. [ LAUGH ] The next time I see you at a award ceremony I'm gonna tell the caterers to hide the food. You take the food home In a little clutch, no one has to know. That's inside your handbag? Well, okay, let's just talk about you, I'm going to ask you questions now... [ laughs ] please...
