It turns out celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay can whip up more than beef wellingtons and brutally creative insults—the man’s not half-bad on a pair of skis, too.
Ramsay recently shared a video of himself carving some turns on vacation in Lech, Austria.
Alongside his ski video, Ramsay posted images of a few dishes that, admittedly, my uncultured self can’t identify. Gordon, if you end up reading this, I know—I’m an idiot sandwich.
It’s always funny when skiing and broader pop culture collide, as the reactions from each side of the divide are bound to differ. To the average non-skier, Ramsay looks like an absolute ripper, while I can almost hear the sneers of the ski-bum adjacent crowd: “Where’s the backflip, Gordon?”
I fall somewhere in the middle, cognizant that a guy like Ramsay probably doesn’t have the time to rack up 30-plus days on snow. Throwing f-bombs around kitchens and striking fear into the hearts of junior chefs keeps him plenty busy.
