Gordon Ramsay is mocked by MasterChef Professionals star over his ‘dry’ £29.50 burger on sale at Harrods

A chef who starred on MasterChef Professionals has criticised Gordon Ramsay for his ‘dry’ upmarket burger.

The Double Stack Smash Burger is being sold for £29.50 at luxury retailer Harrods, located in Knightsbridge, London, and is the most expensive burger on the menu.

Diners will tuck into a double smash Parmesan beef patty, mozzarella, roasted jalapenos, rocket, pickled shallots and jalapeno mayonnaise.

But after a video of Gordon’s dish was shared by Harrods on Instagram, he was slammed in the comments by customers and fellow chef, Michael Carr who said: ‘Burger looks so dry.’.

The singular burger is being sold for £29.50 at luxury retailer Harrods, located in Knightsbridge, London.

Gordon’s dish was slammed in the comments by customers but also a fellow chef, Michael Carr (pictured).

Mr Carr starred on the BBC show in 2019 and owns his own catering business called Carr’s Catering.

He posted on his Facebook business page and wrote: ‘Two years [ago] I stepped in [the] MasterChef UK and it was hard and the pressure was unreal but I f**k[ing] did it and to cook for Marcus Wareing and Greg Wallace and to have their feedback was brilliant.

‘So glad I got to live out a dream!!’

He caters for private dinner parties, weddings and has 5 star rating online.

Harrods captioned the video of Gordon’s dry burger:Inspired by our head chef’s memories of her grandma cooking meatballs.

‘This double-stacked smashed beef and Parmesan smash burger is topped with roasted jalapenos, mozzarella and a jalapeno mayonnaise.

‘Available for a limited time. Book a table at Gordon Ramsay Burger on the fourth floor.’

Plain fries cost an extra £8.50 on top and fancier options, such as truffle Parmesan fries will set you back £12.50.

But other customers followed in Michael’s footsteps and criticised the burger.

One user said: ‘Sorry Gordon but that cheese looked dry and hard on those patties.’

Another wrote: ‘Tastes like vomit.’.

Gordon Ramsay’s burger is being sold for £29.50 at Harrods with no side dishes included.

Customers took to Instagram to share their opinions on the dish.

The cheapest burger on the menu at his Harrods restaurant is the veggie CF Burger – made with a cauliflower fritter – priced at £24.

Gordon Ramsay also launched Street Burger in 2020, with several locations dotted across London, the north of England and Scotland.

In 2021, the star came under fire for charging a whopping £31 for fish and chips at his upscale restaurant at the five-star Savoy Hotel.

He priced a piece of gurnard fried in cider at £24.50 while a portion of chips is on the menu for £7 at The River Restaurant in London.

Gordon shared a snap of the fish and chips on his Instagram but many were unimpressed with the price in the comments section.

One woman wrote: ‘Rather eat my local chippy. At least it’s not kids’ portions.’

Another user joked: ‘Maybe one day if I win the lottery’.

‘£25 for that fish! Rip off, I could eat for a week for that,’ wrote a third.
