Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted (2019– ) User Reviews

I love the Show!

[nmcneese · 9/10 · 21 July 2021]

Some of y'all need to get over yourselves, seriously. Anthony Bourdain (sp) did have a good show. (RIP). And maybe Chef Ramsay was inspired to do something similar. But he didn't steal it from him...he didn't OWN the concept, so, so what!?

The chefs he meets in each episode could have turned down the opportunities but they didn't. Many of them poke jabs at him that they get to boss him around, etc. It's light hearted and if he doesn't win the locals...he takes it gracefully. And of course many of it is some-what staged when he's attempted dangerous quests, he's a celebrity; the main character... And if he shot a goat on tv to eat...so what?! We definitely watch more horrendous stuff on tv...ever seen an episode of American Horror Story? Game of Thrones? Etc. So many Karens on here.

I love it because he takes their traditional ways and cooks it the same way. He doesn't take it back to a kitchen. I love it because if he doesn't like what he's tasting...he doesn't hide it. I mean blows into the lungs of a seal for crying out loud. How many of you would do that?

Many kudos to you Mr Ramsay, I hope there are many more seasons. Maybe future seasons you can bring some of family along!! (Or other guest chefs!)

A delight to see Gordon Ramsay this way

[fajarsantoso · 8/10 · 30 August 2021]

The concept is not new as there are a dozens of these type of cooking series, albeit a bit different. What makes this serie pleasant to watch is to see Gordon Ramsay in a totally different way, friendly, respectful and that is a delight to see.

So fun and you don't need a passport

[bonitawatergirl · 9/10 · 20 August 2019]

We've been able to have so much fun as a family watching this show. I hope it gets picked up for a second season.

Brilliant show already!

[firballblaze-69689 · 10/10 · 29 July 2019]

I never was too crazy about Gordon Ramsey, but now I have mad respect for the man on his quest for secretive exotic cuisine! Just genius!

Maybe Gordon's best series!

[mvititoe · 10/10 · 31 January 2022]

This is the first show that I've felt strongly enough about to actually write a review.

I really love cooking shows. Admittedly, most of them are very similar. This is different. Part Man Vs Wild and part Master Chef. I'm fascinated. Gordon Ramsay goes to exotic locations and learns how to make traditional cuisine from scratch. This includes catching eels in mountain ponds to scaling trees an a jungle searching for berries. I absolutely love exotic food and love learning how it's prepared. This show is fantastic!

Also, apparently Guinea pig is delicious...

A Different Side to Ramsey

[hlee-74887 · 10/10 · 5 August 2019]

Ramsey is a 16 star Micheline chef known from England to America as the unapologetic perfectionist in the kitchen. But this show takes him to places around the world where none of that matters.

He travels to countries where their cooking technics are as preserved as their way of life. With hand made bonfire as his oven, cooking with the most purest ingredients, he is taken completely out of his element to serve a dish worthy of the host's culture. Then in the end, Gordon faces off against the local chef.

This show is more a homage to the traditional cooking culture rather than an actual cooking show. He explores the culture and the traditions that come with the food. Something very different from his previous shows where Chef Ramsey is the universe everyone else aligns too.

There is a different side to Ramsey that is more humbled. But there are censored "beeeeeep" ringing throughout the show, just to let viewers know it is the same Gordon Ramsey.

Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted is the Best Cooking Show Ever

[wolftiger · 10/10 · 20 December 2021]

Me & my wife really didn't like Gordon Ramsay that much. But when he came out with Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted we can't stop watching. We love that he goes to all the different places around the world. And that he doesn't go to the big cities but small towns. We love this show. We can't wait for season 4 & more seasons of the show to come. We highly recommend Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted. Thanks Gordon Ramsay for the great show and the love you show for the small towns and the small town chefs.

Great show average host.

[jan-19905 · 7/10 · 23 August 2019]

This show could be a huge hit if it was not for Gordon Ramsay's big head getting in the way all the time. To much about himself.

Obviously none of you appreciate food

[michaelrafizadeh · 10/10 · 15 August 2021]

I am in the process of opening my own restaurant and I love watching anything Ramsey because I learn something new anytime I watch. People who gave bad reviews don't appreciate the meaning of the show it has nothing to do with his ego, he's genuinely going to these places and showing the audience what the food and culture looks like in these countries. Typical Americans don't like things that broaden your horizons;)

Not Bad, just enough salt

[polsixe · 7/10 · 11 April 2021]

This is mainly the good Ramsay, a cheerful British food pro as opposed to his "made-for-USA" Hells Kitchen tyrant. A mix of Top Gear, Bear Grylls, Anthony Bourdain (without the politics) he gets off the beaten track to find new spices, foods and flavours. Wide scenic shots, some adventure stuff with snorkels, climbing gear, white water rafting, and then a somewhat forced cook-off with a local new chef against the clock.

This is a great show, ignore the haters

[Jeffrey_1988 · 9/10 · 19 March 2022]

First, I got to say, I love this adventurous and educational show that brings you to places to learn about food around the world and seeing all the beautiful scenery that takes place in this show

As a fan of Gordon Ramsay, I found him enjoyable to watch while he goes on these exciting journeys and learning different foods from different cultures.

I like how he's fearless when doing stunts, even though the stunt scenes are probably edited, but who cares it is fun seeing him doing this stuff and at least not having to worry about him getting seriously injured.

Another thing that I would like to point out is he swears on the show, like on some of his other shows of course but whatever I find it funny when he does it and he also seems grateful for all the experiences and learns when going to these places.

Keep winning them cookoffs Gordon and also entertaining us all while out on your adventures :)

Pushing too much

[sevdakarababa-71077 · 7/10 · 6 August 2019]

I would like to see Ramsay to discover things and cook with that new things and new ways. But what i watch was not that. I felt like he just did it to put action in his carrier not because of endless curiosity. Feels like he cant wait to finish the show and go to hotel.

No Reservations, without the Charm

[kingbk-2 · 5/10 · 24 July 2019]

Gordon Ramsay has been working hard in recent years to rehabilitate his image as the angry, cursing chef, with mixed results. Masterchef and Masterchef Jr. show a more positive, encouraging, patient chef while Hell's Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares continue demonstrating a moody Brit with a short fuse. With the sad passing of Anthony Bourdain, Ramsay attempts to enter the realm of the traveling food show that acts as an exploration of new cultures. Uncharted attempts this challenge and at times shows potential, but Ramsay is no Anthony Bourdain and it's unlikely he will ever get there.

Some people like to point out how both Bourdain and Ramsay were "culinary bad boys." True, but with a big caveat. Bourdain, besides his turn as a food judge on one season of Top Chef and two seasons of The Big Taste, has largely hung up his apron and packed away his knifes. Ramsay, on the other hand, continues running a food empire with shows, restaurants, books and more that are centered around him being the chef. That never goes away in Uncharted, and the scenes of culture and experience are tempered by cooking competitions, with Ramsay trying to keep it loose with his laughing and joking, but you can see he's still the perfectionist that wants to win. It takes away a lot of the empathy and modesty that Bourdain's programs had where it seemed like he truly cared for the people he was meeting and instead turns into a Ramsay cooking showcase, all around the world.

Some people have the charisma and charm to make us care and pull us in. Here, it feels inauthentic and like it's just another step in the Ramsay food empire. Ramsay is no Anthony Bourdain and Uncharted is not even close to No Reservations.

The first two seasons. Epic!

[smarttdude · 9/10 · 12 October 2021]

The first seasons were brilliant. It was so much to discover so many places. So many lands. Cultures. Different cuisine. Secret ingredients. Lifestyle. And in the end some of the best chefs battling it out. It was a delight. Until the third season. It fell off a cliff. Europe and America don't need discoveries. What a waste to an otherwise amazing show.

Better than Bordain!!

[s-m-broderson · 10/10 · 31 July 2019]

This is real raw and fun to watch. It seems authentic way more so than bordains show. Outstanding work. Great show. Educational af

Well done but ...

[zappapappa-528-951161 · 8/10 · 23 July 2019]

Gordon Ramsay as a Scottish/English chef I´ve admired fot years, even though he had his temper-tantrums when he was young(er). But when he started sniffing the money in America and adjusted his programs/shows likewise my admiration started to wane a wee bit.

He was/is in his element there, because everything goes quicker, more violent and more competitive over there, but for me it took the "British edge" off.

In this program he found it again. As I see it he was genuinely (dis)respectful to all parties involved and trying to get a taste of the food that´s locally cooked. He treated all people with respect ...

But ffs can´t the man lose 1 time? He´s cooking out of his comfort-zone with strange ingredients for local people and he still pulls a 50-50?

Come on Gordon ...

A gentleman and a scholar

[anthonymous · 10/10 · 15 September 2021]

Gordon is a very good man, it's easy to see that.

Great show and very fun to watch. Missed it during the hiatus.

Well done Gordon and crew!

travel, food, a special host...

[Kirpianuscus · 31 August 2019]

Travel. And food. And a star of kitchen. Not an original recipe but a working one. Nice for its ingredients, maybe better if the host was not exactly a star with deep certitude than he must represent the axis of each episode. But is it a real sin ? Maybe not. After a long and beautiful career,, it is far to be surprising to see Gordon Ramsay being just himself.

Reasonably entertaining but stop with the americanisms

[dbphotonut · 6/10 · 6 August 2021]

It's reasonably entertaining to watch, although feels super forced in places and too scripted, as other have noted Bourdain this is not. Also Gordon is British, English to be honest, although he claims to be a Scot, that obviously is not the case as anyone can hear, so he needs to stop using American words, it's highly irritating when you hear a European call football "soccer" and a BBQ a grill, stop it Gordon.

Very enjoyable show

[orlamurf-39991 · 9/10 · 7 January 2021]

Heartwarming show with good humour in places. We could all learn a lot from how these places treat their environment and their respect for their food and culture.

Great easy watching show, that teaches.

[bfield-08164 · 10/10 · 8 November 2020]

Awesome show! Much for respect to Gordon for doing all the things he does in this show. It's really great learning about all the different food and ingredients in these hidden cultures. It also shows that Gordon truly be a great person who respects people and views. I hope he continues this show for a long time! 10/10

Trying to be Bourdain, without everything he meant to us

[Nerdfury · 4/10 · 29 March 2020]

Ramsay's show is trying very hard to pick up where Anthony Bourdain stopped, prior to his tragic death. It is very hard to explain unless you have followed Bourdain as long as many of us have, but there is a certain vibe to how Bourdain works that Ramsay cannot hope to match.

Bourdain's acerbic wit and commentary cannot possibly hope to be countered with Ramsay's general off-colour swearing and carrying on. Where Bourdain embraces the places and people he visits, Ramsay simply makes jokes and remarks at their expense.

In New Zealand, he keeps reminding the audience that the pilot of his plane is young looking, despite being accomplished and 30 years old. He swears and carries on when he has to climb a hill, spits food out when it's distasteful - literally spits it onto the ground - where Bourdain will eat it despite his reservations. Bourdain respects those he comes across, Ramsay does not.

It is a shame to see that he is unable to fill the massive shoes and gaping void left by Anthony.

Amazing

[mikeiskorn · 10/10 · 28 November 2019]

I love Ramsay and this show was great! Anything he touches turns to gold!

Gordon is amazing!

[marpunk · 10/10 · 29 December 2023]

Love this show. It is kind of heard to watch exploratory travel food shows after Anthony Bourdain (RIP) passsed but I am entertained by this show. Gordon is humble and at his best in this show. Most people will expect to see Gordon Ramsay cursing out an entire kitchen staff but in this show, he humbly turns the scathing reviews on himself and takes it like a champ for the sake of food education. I hope that Gordon will continue his journies in this show and help people shake off the discomfort of the post Covid pandemic world. I cannot say enough positive things about this show and I hope that this show will continue until Gordon is in his 80s or longer.

Cooking Around The World, Except North-Korea😎

[KFstudios2009 · 9/10 · 16 July 2023]

Gordon Ramsay is Gordon Ramsay. He is very great with the humor, cooking and jumping out of helicopters. That is what the show showed very good, I think this is one of the best cooking shows that I have ever seen. He travels all around the world, that is very cool, he was even in Norway, where I live. Now I will tell you what was great about this very show. In Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted Gordon is trying to discover the secrets of kitchen cultures of different countries that he never knew about. In every episode he has to collect, learn and struggle with different dificulties, like jump from a helicopter, travel across a wild river or climb a dangerous waterfall. That was what made the show so cool, with all of the cool action scenes. I liked that very much. And you can also learn a lot about cultures and type of cooking in different countries, what is very educational. I recommend this show for everybody. You can stream it on national geographic or the best way would be from Disney plus. Every season and episode was good so I recommend watching all of it. Enjoy!
