As soon as the words left Walz’s mouth, those in the kitchen claimed you could almost see steam rising from Ramsay’s head. “What do you mean, plant-based? This is Hell’s Kitchen, not a woke daycare center!” Ramsay yelled. “You want to save the planet? Fine, but don’t do it in my kitchen, you donkey!”
The confrontation escalated quickly. Walz, trying to maintain his composure, attempted to explain how the meat industry contributes to climate change and how a more sustainable approach could be beneficial, but Ramsay wasn’t interested. “This is Hell’s Kitchen, not your bloody political campaign rally!” Ramsay snapped. “You’ve turned this kitchen into a joke. Do you want to cook or do you want to lecture me about saving the world? Because let me tell you something—no one’s ever won Hell’s Kitchen with a kale salad!”
Witnesses claim Ramsay then ordered his kitchen staff to throw all plant-based ingredients out of the kitchen, shouting, “No one’s going vegan under my watch!”
