An informal debate about Greek vs. Italian food took place on Monday’s episode of ITV’s “Gordon, Gino & Fred Go Greek.” Gino D’Acampo was left fuming at Gordon Ramsay after the two famous chefs began chatting about food and Gordon cheekily declared that Greek food is better than Italian.
Gordon told Gino: “Greece never gets the look-in that France has or the Italians. “Honestly, I think Greek cuisine is better than Italian cuisine.”
Gino looked absolutely shocked at Gordon‘s statement, proceeding to put down his glass of champagne angrily before replying “Oh you’re not serious!” He then tried to rope Fred in on his side as he waved his arms in protest, crying out “Say something, say something!”
Sadly for Gino, Fred agreed with the Kitchen Nightmares star, telling him that people in Greece live long, healthy lives as a result of their national dishes.
Gino fired back: “The Italian diet is one of the most famous diets in the world. People living many, many years.” He added that you simply cannot compare Greek cuisine to that of the Italians.
