Why Gordon Ramsay Secretly Wears a Disguise in Fast Food Restaurants

Gordon Ramsay is the world’s most recognizable chef—but even he needs to indulge his guilty pleasures. And according to insiders, he’s found a hilarious solution to stay anonymous while doing it: he wears a disguise to eat at fast food joints.

It started as a joke. After years of publicly bashing chains like McDonald’s and KFC, Ramsay admitted in a podcast that he occasionally craves fast food. “You try feeding five kids after soccer practice,” he laughed. “Sometimes, a greasy burger is a blessing.”

But getting caught in a drive-thru? That’s a PR nightmare.

So Ramsay reportedly uses a hoodie, sunglasses, and even a fake accent when he hits late-night chains. His go-to order? Spicy chicken sandwich, large fries, and no drink—“because I’ve got wine at home.”

Fans have occasionally spotted someone who looks like Ramsay stuffing his face in the backseat of a black SUV. Once, a video surfaced of a man suspiciously resembling him devouring onion rings in a parking lot. Gordon never confirmed it was him. But he smirked when asked.

“I’ll never admit it,” he said. “But I know a damn good fry when I eat one.”
