Gordon Ramsay Cuts Finger on 'Ellen' But Doesn't Yell at Himself

I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often when there is a chef giving a cooking demo on a talk show. Gordon Ramsay was chopping food on 'Ellen' and actually cut his finger. The moment a guest on my talk show cuts his finger, that's when we stop taping, clean up the area, give him a Band-Aid and a glove and have him start the demonstration over. Even then I'd hesitate in eating it.

I once cut my finger slicing linguica on a slicer and had to go to the emergency room. Don't worry if you ate pizza at Valentino's in the mid-'80s, I threw it out.

Can you imagine if one of the contestants on 'Hell's Kitchen' had cut his finger during a challenge or during dinner service? You can imagine what Ramsay would say: "Oh, bollocks! What is wrong with you? What a donkey? Get the f**k out of my kitchen! Close it down!"

Actually, people have cut their finger on his show in the past, and continued cooking, after wrapping the finger.

Yeah, Bob, many contestants have cut themselves, and I don't recall a single occasion where GR has yelled at them for it. Do you actually watch the show, or have you just heard that he yells at the contestants a lot?

When he used the same hand to continue cutting peppers and then grabbed the salt... OMG. Ow.

But no, I would not eat that. I don't think they did, actually, it just sat there. I mean, he was missing a piece of his nail and there was blood all in the food, on the peppers, etc. Ew.
