Gordon Ramsay was in typically forthright form this weekend when he dismissed the idea of “Mounjaro menus” or “Ozempic tasting menus” – smaller, scaled-down restaurant dishes for people on weight-loss drugs – as “absolute bulls***”. He blamed diners for eating too much food in the first place.
“There’s no f***ing way we’re giving in to the Mounjaro jab...” he told The Times in typically robust fashion during an interview to promote his protégé Mat Abé’s new restaurant, Bonheur, which opened last week in Mayfair. “The problem is with them [the diners] for eating too much in the first f***ing place! There’s no way that we’re coming in with an Ozempic tasting menu to make you feel like less of a fat f*** by 10.30 in the evening.”
