Gordon Ramsay says he’ll NEVER eat in-flight meals on a plane, because he knows where the food has been
The television chef used to work as a culinary adviser for Singapore Airlines
ANYONE who’s seen Kitchen Nightmares knows that Gordon Ramsay has low tolerance levels for bad food.
But it turns out there one type of grub the chef won’t even go near – plane food.
Even though he owns a restaurant at Heathrow Airport called Plane Flood… AND he used to advise Singapore Airlines on their in-flight meals as part of their Culinary Panel.
In an interview this this week, he said: “There’s no f****** way I eat on planes.

“I worked for airlines for 10 years, so I know where this food’s been and where it goes, and how long it took before it got on board."
Instead, he loads up on some fancy food at a deli or wine bar in the airport before he boards the plane.
He said: "A nice selection of Italian meats, a little glass of red wine, some sliced apples or pears with some parmesan cheese.
“I’m like a pig in s***.”
Gordon is no stranger to criticism of plane food – last year The Sun revealed that his own Plane Food restaurant at Heathrow’s Terminal 5, has been rated average, poor or terrible by almost 750 customers on TripAdvisor.
The Scottish chef, who is famous for transforming struggling restaurants in TV shows such as Hotel Hell and Kitchen Nightmares, received a flood of bad reviews about the service, food and prices.
