I give you ...

John Burton Race.

I'm sure he is a reasonably competent chef (unlike for instance AWT or Ainsley Harriott), but by christ he looks like a total g.imp and has an awful awful personality.

a pretty horrible man by most accounts

Apparently AWT is one of the most talented chefs of the last 20 years or so. It's his irritating gnome persona that makes him so loathesome.

Couldn't agree more on Race, terrible human being who is afflicted with the monstrous ego that seems de rigeur when donning an apron.

I liked it when L`Ortalan got exposed by the CH4 team.Burton race being stripped of plenty of accolades for running a bully boy kitchen,dispicable behaviour by him and his 2nd chef .AWT is a fantastic chef but a very irratating one.Worse for me is Jamie Oliver

Worrall Thompson's recipe for Snickers Pie was nominated by independent food watchdog The Food Commission as one of the most unhealthy dessert recipes ever. Consisting of five Snickers bars, puff pastry, mascarpone, soft cheese, sugar and eggs, a single slice has been estimated to contain 1,250 calories. Although this was widely reported in the British media, the BBC still hosts the recipe on its website, albeit with a health warning.

In 2005, as he launched his new series, Gordon Ramsay commented on the phenomenon of "Celebrity Chefs" saying, "I don't really think I'm a celebrity chef. There's a TV bracket and a serious chef bracket." He went on to dub Ainsley Harriot, Brian Turner and Worrall Thompson as the Teletubbies.[6]

Thompson recommended the poisonous plant Henbane as a "tasty addition to salads" in the August 2008 issue of Healthy and Organic Living magazine. Apologising for the error Thompson said: "I was thinking of a wild plant with a similar name, Fat Hen, not this herb. It's a bit embarrassing, but there have been no reports of any casualties. Please do pass on my apologies." The magazine sent subscribers an urgent message stating that Henbane "is a very toxic plant and should never be eaten."[7]

just seen him (AWT) devein a prawn with a fkin 10inch carving knife ffs. he ruined that italian geezer's carefully preparedpasta dish once by getting a handful of parmesan and chucking it all over it, burned his dish on that great british menu thing. don't know if he was just p.issed when he was on telly all the time, but he seems very amateur to me. partly from doing sh.it shows where he cooks a 5 course meal in 20 minutes and all that sh.it, as if.

I had the misfortune of eating in the The New Angel John Burton Race
in Dartmouth a couple of years ago

Expensive/bland rubbish is the only way I can describe the meal. JBR, was sat in the corner by the window (which also happened to be the best table) doing his books for a couple of hours, he had to pass us to get to the kitchen and stopped to ask if we enjoyed the meal, I said it would probably have been better if he had cooked it, and left the books to his accountant. He grunted and walked off. I felt a bit sorry for him as he seemed to be a broken man, then a few months later he is all over my TV screen again pontificating on other peoples cooking skills, ffs.

Worst tv chef ever..... AWT would be a leading contender,
GR is not a bad chef but hate all the f**king swearing and way he talks to people,
F-a-n-n-y Craddock done that once and it finished her TV career,
and GR has made a TV career out of it ! How times have changed........

Best cookerer on telly is Gordon Ramsay but laddish act is fecking irritating.

AWT is clumsy.

Burton Race has more ego than Michelin stars.

Oliver is a natural but very rustic.

jamie has the cr@ppest credentials, swiftly follewed by AWT and AH. I like ramsey because his food is fecking brilliant and his recipies always work. Having said that I imagine they are all cnuts in the flesh.

galton blackiston is a noteable omission- a true penarse.

Gary Rhodes is an arrogant little ****** who travels all round the world telling local chefs why they are doing it wrong.

Before he got on TV he was Head Chef at the Castle Hotel in Taunton
and had a hell of a good repuation there, he is a brilliant Chef,
but like a lot of 'em now they all want to be Celebrity Chefs and be on the telly !
