About This Quiz

Gordon Ramsay's shows are instant entertainment. Not only is he an extremely talented chef, he knows just how to insult people's food to garner tons of laughs, not to mention (more than) a few tears. After all, his show isn't called "Hell's Kitchen" for no reason. He pushes cooks and chefs to be their best and to put out the best food. In his mind, there's no point in cooking if you're not going to do that. He isn't only about super gourmet foods either. He can appreciate a very simple dish done very well. But if you can't make a grilled cheese, you might be an idiot sandwich.

Ramsay has even started a Twitter phenomenon where people will tweet him foods they've made and ask him to rate them or roast them. He leans into this persona because it's the character he plays. A three course meal is a surefire way to know if Gordon himself would think you are a good cook. A meal like that can show a lot of technique—and a lot of missteps. You ready? Good! Take this quiz to make a three-course meal and we'll tell you if Gordon Ramsay would call you an "idiot sandwich!"
