An Amateur Cook Struggles to Keep Up With Gordon Ramsay as They Make Crab Cakes Back to Back

In the Bon Appétit series “Back to the Chef“, the infamously irritable chef Gordon Ramsay challenged a hapless, inexperienced cook named Shane to prepare crab cakes in just 15 minutes by listening to verbal instructions given by the chef while he created the same dish with their backs turned towards each other. While Ramsay’s instructions were clear, Shane could not keep up with the speed and wound up with a “well seasoned” pile of half cooked ingredients instead of crab cakes.

In just 15 minutes and with his back turned, Gordon Ramsay challenges an amateur to keep up with him as he makes crab cakes.
