Gordon Ramsay labels fellow celebrity chef “bloody pompous” in Twitter rant

Gordon Ramsay has branded fellow celebrity chef Michel Roux "bloody pompous" in a lengthy Twitter rant.

Ramsay did not take kindly to Roux's decision to ban punters at his three Michelin starred restaurant, The Waterside Inn, from taking photographs of their food and posting to social media. He and his brother, Albert Roux, had grown so tired of customers Instagramming their meals that they put up a card which reads: 'No photos, please.'

"What are they doing? Maybe once during the meal you want to take a little photo of something because it's unusual," Roux told the Daily Mail.

"But what about the flavours? A picture on a phone cannot possibly capture the flavours."

Well Gordon Ramsay, who is never afraid to speak his mind, clearly disagrees with the move to put a rule in place against frequenters' tendency to celebrate their food by sharing pictures on social media websites. "How bloody pompous! It’s a compliment to the chef the fact that customers want to take pictures of dishes they’ve paid for. It’s 2017!" Ramsay wrote on Twitter. The 50-year-old, who recently showed off that he was in the shape of his life, then began replying to his followers and expanded on his opinion that Roux's new rule was actually bad for business. https://twitter.com/GordonRamsay/status/926375785555951616?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.independent.co.uk%2Flife-style%2Ffood-and-drink%2Fgordon-ramsay-michel-roux-ban-photos-food-diners-the-waterside-inn-berkshire-chef-a8035501.html https://twitter.com/GordonRamsay/status/926376490870157313?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.independent.co.uk%2Flife-style%2Ffood-and-drink%2Fgordon-ramsay-michel-roux-ban-photos-food-diners-the-waterside-inn-berkshire-chef-a8035501.html https://twitter.com/GordonRamsay/status/926378424737980416 https://twitter.com/GordonRamsay/status/926378706830061568 https://twitter.com/GordonRamsay/status/926379971974660097 https://twitter.com/GordonRamsay/status/926391028076236801
