Despite maintaining a track record of being a globally acclaimed chef, Gordon Ramsey has little to no luck in maintaining his New York-based restaurants. The Scottish celebrity chef has made several TV appearances and has called out cooking show contestants on their way of cooking and serving bland foods. However, it seems that the chef himself is having some trouble keeping up with the flavors at his own restaurants. The uncomplicated British bar food, fish and chips, which is apparently Ramsey’s favorite, is having some trouble maintaining flavors.

The modest restaurant in Times Square, Gordon Ramsey Fish & Chips, is perhaps having a low-brow success. Ramsey calls his recipe of fish and chips his “go-to comfort food” and says the secret to his recipe “is in the batter”. However, it seems that no matter how much the culinary king boasts about his recipes, his restaurant in NYC is emerging as a subject of negative reviews.

Reviews suggest that the fish at Ramsey’s restaurant is mind-bogglingly bland

The heart of the menu at Ramsey’s NYC restaurant is fish and chips, and yet people have reviewed the easy-to-make and quite common British bar food as bland. It seems that no matter how much Ramsey complains about the fish on his TV shows, Time Square tourists are finding the combination of the celebrity’s menu pretty boring and mealy. Judging by the reviews, the 7 Michelin star-studded chef is having some problems maintaining the flavors of the fish and keeping the chips from falling flat.
