NEW YORK, NY - JUNE 22: Chef Gordon Ramsay attends AOL Build to discuss his MasterChef Mobile Game at AOL Studios on June 22, 2016 in New York City.Daniel Zuchnik —WireImage  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. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4677008/gordon-ramsay-twitter-diss/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4677008/gordon-ramsay-twitter-diss/"},"headline":"Gordon Ramsay Is Savagely Dissing Home-Cooked Creations","datePublished":"2017-02-21T17:39:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:41:16.139Z","description":"If you can't handle the heat of a 'MasterChef'-style takedown, don't bother sliding into Ramsay's Twitter DMs.","url":"https://time.com/4677008/gordon-ramsay-twitter-diss/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Social Media","Food & Drink"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt505357922e355cb9/6988bb28656a3fea1cbced8c/gordon-ramsay.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt505357922e355cb9/6988bb28656a3fea1cbced8c/gordon-ramsay.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"AOL Build Speaker Series - Gordon Ramsay, MasterChef Mobile Game","caption":"AOL Build Speaker Series - Gordon Ramsay, MasterChef Mobile Game","creditText":"Daniel Zuchnik —WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4677008/gordon-ramsay-twitter-diss/","name":"Gordon Ramsay Is Savagely Dissing Home-Cooked Creations"}}]}] ```
