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!”
Not one to back down easily, Governor Walz reportedly attempted to seize control of the kitchen, suggesting the chefs replace butter with plant oils and insisting they use biodegradable utensils. At this point, Ramsay had reached his limit. “Get out of my kitchen, you woke creep!” he roared, slamming a spatula onto the counter. “You wouldn’t know a well-seasoned dish if it slapped you in the face!”
With that, Ramsay stormed toward Walz and dramatically pointed toward the door. The governor, stunned and red-faced, was ushered out of the kitchen by producers, but not before muttering something about “reaching out to the culinary community for more progressive options.”
Back in the kitchen, Ramsay turned to his team of chefs and shouted, “Right, now that we’ve gotten rid of that, let’s focus on cooking REAL food!” The tension immediately dissipated as the contestants resumed their frantic attempts to impress the famously demanding chef.
Social media exploded as soon as the episode aired, with the hashtag #WokeCreep trending within hours. Ramsay’s fans praised his takedown of Walz, celebrating what many saw as a victory against political correctness infiltrating the world of high cuisine. “That’s why we love Ramsay—he doesn’t hold back and doesn’t let anyone ruin his kitchen with woke nonsense!” tweeted one fan.
Not one to let Ramsay have the last word, Governor Tim Walz took to Twitter the next morning. “Last night’s experience on Hell’s Kitchen proves that we still have a long way to go when it comes to implementing sustainable and responsible cooking practices,” Walz tweeted. “I won’t apologize for standing up for what’s right—even in the kitchen. The planet matters, and I’ll continue to fight for that, no matter how many times I get thrown out.”
