Gordon Ramsay sparks outrage with new Paris 2024 Olympics-themed burger dubbed ‘wrong on so many levels’
GORDON RAMSAY has sparked outrage with his new Paris 2024-themed burger.
Foodie fans have debated the “Frenchie Burger” created to celebrate the summer games across the Channel.
The new dish is now being served across the UK in the celebrity chef’s chain restaurant Gordon Ramsay Street Burger.
He recently posted a promotional video on his Instagram unveiling his latest edition.
Ramsay said: “Celebrate the Olympics with my new Frenchie burger at @gordonramsaystreetburger !! With Roquefort cheese, grilled red onions, two smashed patties, garlic aioli and shoestring fries!!”
But the cheesy burger which costs £18 has sparked controversy among his followers.
As one said: “That burger is wrong on so many levels.”
Some fans have even complained that it’s too difficult to eat.
They said: “Burgers should be wider, not taller. How the f*** are you supposed to eat that?”
Another added: “Not gonna lie. I tried this two days ago. It was the worst burger I have ever had.”

Not everyone was so critical and said they were keen to give the Olympics-themed burger a try.
One said: “Delicious burger, yummy, I want it.”
This is not the first time Ramsay’s burgers have faced backlash.
Earlier this year his Next Level Burger which also cost £18 and featured a double beef patty, American cheese, onion, and Sriracha mayonnaise was also said to be challenging to eat.
