With his new show, Gordon Ramsay wants to parachute into foreign food cultures and show the locals he can cook their cuisines better than they can https://t.co/nXcxnEXtkZ pic.twitter.com/JB1VTl9eqL

"Ramsay will explore foreign food cultures, “discover the undiscovered”, and engage in a kitchen competition with the locals, where he will pit his own interpretations of local dishes against the traditional versions."

Isn't that a concept that has been done before? I'm pretty sure I did see it before...

also, it is not that different than what 99% of tv chefs are doing today anyway, with the difference that now they will have natives in front of them telling they are doing it wrong to their faces

I swear he's done this before, but it was more to highlight traditional dishes vs. the British bastardization, and actually talks about how it gets from one to the other (aka colonialism). Then he actually learns the proper way to make the dish. Am I crazy? Did I have some vivid Ramsay dream? Or was that an Anthony Bourdain show?

I swear I've seen a gif set of this on tumblr too. Idk what show it'd even be from though?

That could be an interesting show to me. Sometimes the ~bastardization of a cuisine makes for interesting dishes that people like and then spawns a whole new type of cuisine (e.g. Tex Mex), and it’s all wrapped up in complicated histories of trade, colonialism, racism, etc.

you should watch Ugly Delicious if you haven't! He talks a lot about that in regards to chinese and asian cuisine.
