What inspired the host to eat only Gordon Ramsay's food for 24 hours?

Nick DiGiovanni 0:00

I just flew all the way to London to eat only Gordon Ramsay's food for 24 hours. I did let Gordon know I was in town, and here's what he wrote back.

Gordon Ramsay 0:07

Hey Nick, it's Gordon, your favorite chef. First of all, sorry I can't be with you across this London tour, but I promise you, you're going to love it. This visit is going to confirm how good Great Britain is. So best of luck, and I can't wait to see you soon. And stop selling that salt.

Osmosalt. It's the saltiest.

Today I'll get to taste his famous beef wellington and sticky toffee pudding, among many other things, all in his great home country of England. But there's one strict rule I have to follow. Nothing can be consumed outside the borders of Gordon Ramsay's restaurants. Let's go. It's 8.30 in the morning and we're starting our day at Bread Street Kitchen, which is supposed to be a lively and exciting restaurant. It lives on the street that used to have the city's bread market, so I'm hoping that we might get some good carbs in this morning. We're starting off plain and simple with the English breakfast, Looks like we got some of these scrambled eggs, some grilled tomato, mushrooms, some sort of hash brown, a big old sausage, some English-style bacon, and some baked beans.

My question is how exactly am I supposed to be eating an English breakfast? Do I just kind of eat across the whole plate? Or is there an actual method to eating an English breakfast? I have no idea. I'm a huge fan of the classic English breakfast, and I'll tell you why. You literally just get to eat a little bit of everything. I'm gonna start ordering this more. Naturally, you had to know that Gordon Ramsay scrambled eggs are the best in the business. If you wanna be a good boy, run upstairs now and give it to her in bed, the breakfast. In between this, I'm gonna go ahead with my Bloody Mary. I know Bloody Marys are a real hot topic. It's either yes or no for most people, but I'm a Bloody Mary person all the way.

Next up, we have these amazing-looking ricotta pancakes. On this one, I'm gonna make sure I get a bite of everything that's on the plate. Some banana, some blueberry, some of that butter, plenty of maple syrup, and of course, some actual pancake. Oh man, that's good.

What does an English breakfast at Gordon Ramsay's restaurant include?

Nick DiGiovanni 1:39

Honestly, I think my favorite thing here is the butter. I'm not really sure what they're putting inside it, but whatever it is, it's delicious. I'll wash that all down with a nice mimosa, and then I will bring in my third and final dish of the day, some nice Eggs Benedict, my favorite. Obviously the elephant in the room, is the yolk gonna pop perfectly? Let's find out. Oh, that was amazing. That is the brightest yolk I've ever seen. Oh, that is just, that's why they call it yolk. Adult content. That's another thing that I love about London is that the egg yolks are always so bright. I'm pretty sure it means they feed their chickens more peppers. But Brandon, I'm going to let you fact check me on that one.

I'm going to have to say that without a question, my favorite here was the English breakfast. It had a little bit of everything, and each individual bite was delicious. We're going to be eating, but also walking through London a lot today, so I'm going to finish it with some cappuccino, and we're on to our next spot. It's 10 a.m., and for brunch, we're headed to the Savoy Hotel to get the Beef Wellington. Watch out, Eddie. Sorry. I actually came here a long time ago during MasterChef, when we had the finale here in London.

2:36

Guys, come on!

Nick DiGiovanni 2:37

It's a super fancy hotel and I think the food is going to be pretty good. The Beef Wellington was good. Probably the best one I've ever had. But we didn't want to eat too much just to save space for the rest of the day. It's 12.30 PM, which means it's lunchtime. And we're at Gordon Ramsay Street Pizza. Before we eat our pizza, apparently we can go inside here. Try to pick up the phone, I think. Let's see. Hello? You donut.

Unknown 2:59

Are you stupid? I'm seriously disappointed. This is a horribly aggressive phone booth. Hello? Gordon? You got anything to say to me, say it to my face, not my back.
