Gordon Ramsay, everybody’s favorite angry celebrity chef, wasn’t aware of what Twitch is until very recently.
During the premiere of Ramsay’s new show Next Level Chef, he asked contestant Tricia Wang what she does for a living. Wang, better known as TriciaisaBirdy, replied that she had a cooking program on Twitch.
“What the [explative] is Twitch?” Ramsay replied, ever the curt wordsmith.
The other contestants then began shooting each other nervous chuckles as if trying to explain Netflix to grandpa. It’s somewhat astonishing that Ramsay had no idea what Twitch was, considering the platform’s immense size.
Check out a clip of the moment in question below.

In response to Ramsay’s spicy inquiry, the official Twitter account for Twitch changed its bio to “[Gordon Ramsay] scrambled egg recipe stan account” for a bit of fun. Taking things one step further, Ramsay publically called out the platform, asking for an explainer of sorts.
Hey @Twitch can I get a lesson on what you are ?? #NextLevelChef https://t.co/rBW3cGnexv

Afterward, several high-profile streamers began joining in on the shenanigans, trying their best to bring Ramsay onto a livestream at some point.
Hey @GordonRamsay thanks for teaching @xQc how to cook a perfect steak, I literally could not be more grateful for it. Now, stream on @Twitch with him. Thanks!

The whole thing is likely just a bit of publicity for Next Level Chef, as it’s hard to believe Ramsay has no idea what one of his contestants did for work, but it’s funny all the same.
