Gordon Ramsay offers man work experience on Reddit
The Scot had been taking part in a Q&A session on the discussion forum Reddit where users had a chance to grill the chef with unusual questions.
But the event took a turn when a struggling chef asked for Ramsay’s advice on how best to manage the stressful life of working in a top kitchen.

Ramsay, who has reduced chefs to tears on Hell’s Kitchen for years, appeared touched by the user’s plea and offered his advice for anyone dealing with burnout.
He said: “First of all, I’ve been in your shoes, and what you need to do is take a break.
“I took some time off, and got aboard a boat, and was a private chef on a yacht. And those six to nine months off allowed me to regenerate.
Near the end of his response, Ramsay offered the troubled chef a potentially life-changing opportunity – to experience work in one of his famous kitchens.
He said: “Listen, if you send me your resume, I could look at putting you into one of the restaurants as a work experience, if you want to see something different, in order to make sure you don’t come off the rails.”
His response quickly became the highest-voted reply on the forum “thread”.
