Gordon Ramsay has cooked up a plate of honesty as he opened up on the one meal he wouldn't order at a restaurant.
The restaurateur and TV presenter is, of course, known for his f**king mega outbursts on the likes of Hell’s Kitchen, Masterchef and Kitchen Nightmares, which is set to return to our screens after almost a decade.
Like him or loathe him, the celebrity chef has probably eaten every dish under the sun - and has made a career from providing us with his culinary opinion.

While some viewers think he's just 'putting it on', Ramsay recently insisted that 'what you see is what you get'.
Now, Ramsay has chatted to the Daily Mail about his three golden rules for eating in a restaurant, telling diners they ought to be wary of any place which threw around 'suspicious boasts' about the quality of their food.
Buzzwords like 'famous' or 'best in the country' without any further evidence to back them up set the chef's alarm bells ringing as it always made him wonder: "Who said that? Who named that?"
The chef also had a special trick to getting the best bottles of wine for a bargain price, saying you should ask for the 'bin end' list which is comprised of bottles with scratched labels or vintages which haven't sold well.
He suggested that you ask for a bottle of whatever is recommended for no more than $30 (£24), as apparently that can be a secret way of getting an under appreciated tipple to your table without costing too much.
On his third and final tip, Ramsay revealed the one dish he would never, ever order at a restaurant.
And the dish in question is pretty much anything off the specials board, particularly if it looks like there's a lot of options on there.
He said: "Specials are there to disappear throughout the evening.
"When they list 10 specials that's not special."
This isn't the first time Ramsay has warned diners over deciding on the special dishes at a restaurant, as he's got a particular beef with some of the places doing soup of the day.
The chef previously said that if you wanted to go for the soup you should ask the server what they were ladling out yesterday, and if it was the same then you might be in a soup of the week or month type situation.
He actually has one more piece of advice for you if you're eating out for a romantic evening.
Ramsay recommends that you actually book a three person table as this reduces your chances of 'getting stuck in the corner like a doorstop'.
I'm definitely going to try this.
