Gordon Ramsay's newest London restaurant has become embroiled in a row over alleged cultural appropriation after an Asian food critic accused the celebrity chef of tokenism

as"an authentic Asian Eating House and vibrant late-night lounge, inspired by the drinking dens of 1930s Tokyo and the Far East."

In a series of scathing accompanying posts made to Instagram, the screengrabs of which were embedded in the review, Hui she could only"drink thru the pain that is this an"Asian' event."At the event, according to Hui, Ramsay remarked that the restaurant's head chef, Ben Orpwood was"more qualified and experienced than me in this field," and that"he's done the research, having traveled back and forth to south Asia for many months.

Ramsay hit back at the review in an Instagram post, saying that"despite the very positive feedback from guests" he had to call out"one offensive response from the night."

Are you suggesting Gordon’s not Asian based on his white skin colour? That’s racism, sir.

I haven't read this but I'm fed up if Asians..they are so needy

What a nasty person and he has a nasty mouth to match!!!!!!

Ramsey thinks fortune cookies are Chinese & General Tso's chicken is real. Gordon, I'll have numbers 8 & 3 + pork skin. Ignorant gweilo

Oh noz.......not culture Appropriation? Oh no! What ever will we do? Just a gigantic bunch of potatoes the lot of you

I would like to demand that anyone not born in England should stop using my language but that would just make me another intolerant prick the world could do without

How about all non-Europeans stop wearing suits, using electricity, medicine, driving cars, using technology etc as that is 'cultural appropriation'.

Someone is offended because other races can cook Asian cuisine? How sad of a life that critic must live.

Dude. Really? You know you are only allowed to cook food that is native to the country in which you were born.

He's always trying new things. I'm patiently looking forward to him experiment with constructive criticism.

Oi Mate!! Yoo got yer loicence fer that Asian decor!?!?!

SJW are just killing life

The Left seems to have discovered a new word to weaponize. 🙄

Millennials are the worst.

Melting pot vs cultural appropriation? Team 'melting pot', of course.

Asians in cowboy hats. Oooooh.....that makes me so mad.😡😠

Fuck I made tacos for dinner. How much in reparations do I owe? PLEASE TELL ME!!!

And here comes CNN!! More than happy to provide the platform to keep the masses divided by broadcasting nonsense.

Black women straightening their hair isn't appropriation ?... Just wondering...

My dystopia is more dystopian than your dystopia so I'm clearly winning.

fuck me, you have to be part of a culture to COOK it? WHO do I think I AM my linen is 100% Irish, my bed sheets are 100% Egyptian cotton, my car is Japanese, my beer is Canadian, my chocolate is Belgian, my china is British... SHIT GordonRamsay you're fine... MY DUVET IS DOWN!

He need to learn Nigerian jellof rice delicacy

Yawn. No, really. YAWN. And not an Asian yawn.

And CNN is happy to provide the megaphone!

Annoying.

Give the cultural appropriation absurdities a rest.

only one bad critic. lol

Cultural appropriation is bullshit, going by this, people of colour should never use phones, tvs wear jeans, have straight hair... LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

Is the world not sick to death already of the media bigging up pathetic SJW moral panic finger pointing as if it was news? Yes SJWs and the media are bad people. We already know. Don’t be one.

Cnn the rich & the mad

Can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen then!

What the hell!

It's like trying to talk about food with an Italian - it varies depending on what block of the city you are on. Authentic is a stupid word. I would encourage any restaurant in ALL of 'Asia' to discontinue serving hot cakes with maple syrup. Super offensive.

Again, let us just remind ourselves how utterly ill-thought out this 'cultural appropriation' nonsense actually is:

Their is no way I can take this news seriously 😳 😂

Now Gordon ? COME ON ! lovegordonramsay

Liberal PC BS!

Who cares

everything we know will eventually be destroyed by some 'ism' caused outrage.

the extreme left is racist.

Hahahahaha. Cultural appropriation? Everyone came from africa

He badmouthed the hobbit ? The bastard
