Gordon Ramsay is definitely not known for being the warmest, fuzziest person. He's pretty much solely dedicated his TikTok account to roasting home chefs, including his own daughter! But one user earned his respect this week with his cooking skills in one of the most challenging culinary environments.

Jago Randles, a chef from Cornwall, England, has been going viral on the app for the food he's made using only the tools in his hotel room. He was recently quarantined in a hotel room in Vancouver, according to The Washington Post, and began posting videos of himself making everything from eggs Benedict to crème brûlée using things like his coffee maker and iron. He's called it "Isolation Kitchen."

One such video even caught the attention of Gordon, who posted one of his now-iconic Ramsay Reacts-style videos about it. In the TikTok in question, Randles makes chicken, asparagus, and an egg using the tools mentioned above. The video shows him laying the breaded chicken directly on the iron, popping the asparagus into the top of the coffee machine, and frying the egg in the bottom of the coffee maker with the help of parchment paper and what appears to be part of a mason jar lid.

While Gordon was a little critical of the lack of seasoning, he gave him props on the dish overall saying "That looks like some decent food, certainly some of the best food I've seen in any hotel." That is some high praise, and probably makes eating eggs made in the bottom of a coffee maker worth it, TBH. Luckily, Chef Randles is now out of isolation and presumably back to cooking in a real kitchen.
