Gordon Ramsay‘s £15 lasagna has horrified one diner who has compared it to ‘dog sick’.
Musician Karl Phillips, 40, was left unimpressed with the ‘dripping wet’ dish which ‘looked like it had been microwaved from frozen’ when he ordered it at the celebrity chef’s restaurant at Heathrow Airport.
While waiting for his flight to France from London at Terminal 5 on March 16 – to play gigs abroad – he decided to have a meal at the culinary star’s Plane Food Market branch.
But after seeing his lasagna, which he ordered alongside some dirty loaded fries and a flat white, Karl said Gordon should be ’embarrassed’ to serve it.
‘I ordered a normal lasagne and when it came out it was dripping wet and it looked like my dog had been sick in its water bowl.
‘It looked like it had been microwaved with added water and it was disgusting.
‘It wasn’t too expensive, but it was £15 and with the name [Gordon Ramsay] you’d expect a quality meal.’
Karl, who is from Northampton, said he still ate it, given he had paid £15 for the lasagna alone – but found it ‘bland’.
‘It didn’t have a lot of taste or seasoning,’ he added. ‘It was lukewarm.
‘Gordon Ramsay with his reputation and how he destroys anyone’s food that isn’t top scratch, you think he’d be embarrassed that this was served in one of his restaurants.
‘I didn’t complain but I noticed on the bill there was a 10 per cent optional service charge so I took the option to not pay this.’
On the website, Gordon Ramsay’s Plane Food Market is described as serving ‘dine-in dishes and takeaway that’s faster than take-off’.
The dining experience boasts about bringing ‘bold, global tastes and seamless service’ to Heathrow Terminal Five.
Karl says he will never visit another Gordon Ramsay restaurant again unless he receives a personal apology from the multi-Michelin starred chef about his lasagna.
‘People just seem to be horrified that he would put his name to something like that,’ he added, speaking about the social media reactions to him posting about his meal on social media.
His video racked up more than 136,000 views and some 100 comments after posting it on social media.
‘I’m sure it would be a lot better if he cooked it himself personally but this is still representing him as a brand,’ he added.
‘Frozen then microwaved lasagna for 15 quid is mental,’ one baffled commenter said.
Another added: ‘I would send this video to Gordon Ramsay. I bet he would be disgusted by them selling this.’
‘That looked like gross slop. I wouldn’t even let my dog eat that,’ a third shared. ‘In fact, I think my pooch would turn her nose up at it lol. I kid my pooch would munch whatever is put in front of her but that did look like watery slop.’
Another wrote :’It’s unforgivable that they associate their names to earn money from poor quality whilst promoting their stars.’
The Daily Mail has reached out to Gordon Ramsay Restaurants for comment.
