The clash occurred during a special episode of Hell’s Kitchen, where celebrities and political figures were invited to test their culinary prowess. It was supposed to be a night of light-hearted competition, but with Governor Walz’s progressive agenda meeting Ramsay’s no-nonsense attitude, things took a sharp turn. While most of the evening’s competitors were content with the challenges—preparing complicated dishes under intense time pressure—Walz reportedly expressed concern over some of the dishes being “culturally insensitive.”
The governor allegedly took issue with a meat-heavy menu, claiming that it wasn’t environmentally sustainable and suggested swapping the beef wellington for a plant-based option. “We need to think about our carbon footprint and make more responsible choices,” Walz is reported to have said as he pointed at the beef cuts. Ramsay, known for his fiery temper, wasn’t having any of it.
