AIBU to think he's bloody sexy? He's lovely looking and seems to be so nice personality wise too. He can cook! He's certainly making my Sunday afternoon nicer.

The sexiest chef is surely Jean-Christophe Novelli? But I do have a soft spot for Matt Tebbutt (sp?). He'd be a good laugh in the pub.

Nobody fancy Gino di campo ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh yeah possibly. Second and third after Marco I’d say. Your DH has quite the eye …

DH is very attuned to male sexpots for a straight man. And a foodie.

He got a hug from Raymond Blanc at some student thing in Oxford in the 1990s, but has always claimed RB only does the Franglais accent for the cameras, as he’s been living in England for so long he probably sounds like Mary Berry.

"I would choose Hugh fernley whittingstall though as he is slimmer"

He's slimmer??? OMG

That comes at a cost though, namely that he seems to live predominantly off misshapen root vegetables.

He looks weirdly like he’s borrowed Raymond’s face…

Love Matt T. We share the same Birthday and love the same cocktail.
Marcus W is well smouldering and reminds me a bit of a vampire that can come out during the day. Intense blue eyes.

Tom kerridge in one of those two page spread things.
He seems to have back tracked though in recent yrs as I've seen him bigging up female chefs.
Not all women are emotional I'm certainly not.
Yes I can do the same hours as anyone else.

TwoSwannits · 20/04/2025 16:37

Nope. he seems like a very nice bloke but I don't find him attractive at all.

whatisforteamum · 20/04/2025 16:39

Powderoom tell your DH I live near R B and a colleague caught the train to London looked up and it was him sat there.
She said his accent is really strong.

I think he seems nice, but he wouldn’t strike me as attractive, particularly. There’s something of the oversized garden gnome about him, somehow? Mind you, I’m struggling to think of a TV chef I find in any way attractive. Not Jamie ‘Bish Bash Bosh’ Oliver, not Gordon ‘Angry Potato Face’ Ramsay, not Nigel ‘Feathery Stroky’ Slater, not Michel ‘Ooh la la’ Roux, whose Frenchness-performed-for-UK-viewers is a bit unconvincing, not Rick ‘Cornwall is mine’ Stein.

Ha! Yes!!! Oversized garden gnome is spot on.

I knew it couldn’t have been Marco ( tho oddly if it were, I’d have found it quite attractive in a “ so pick me up and throw me out” kind of way.

whatisforteamum · 20/04/2025 16:40

Marcus W is hot.
John torode was good looking back in the day.

Actually John did have a moment.

Marcus is a bit sort of uptight for me.

Another “sexy” chef is Monica, especially when she’s angry.

whatisforteamum · 20/04/2025 16:26

I never liked him when he allegedly said women don't belong in restaurant kitchen they are basically too emotional.
As a chef this is just the sort of stuff I've put up with for decades.
Recently he comes across nicer.I would choose Hugh fernley whittingstall though as he is slimmer and comes across as caring, passionate about food and knowledgeable.

Dangerous mentioning Hugh and the word comes in the same sentence...

but there must be something about him. (eta; John T)

The wonderful Lisa Faulkner seems to think so!

whatisforteamum · 20/04/2025 16:46

What about Ainsley Harriot for a bloody good laugh.

KittyMcKitty · 20/04/2025 16:47

My daughter worked in one of his many restaurants in our town when she was in the 6th form (as did everyone else pretty much at her school) - he paid them above MW and treated them pretty well - they all had proper contracts etc. She didn’t work in the H&F so he didn’t cook where she was but he came in with his son to eat v frequently and was always pleasant.

on a negative he parked massively badly next to me recently so I had to climb in through the passenger door (knew it was his car as he came and got in just after I’d climbed into my drivers seat).

Gordon Ramsay???!!

I'd take a ons off of him!

He's not as sexy as the others but he's up there 🤭

That came out meaner than I meant. I meant quite a nice type of oversized garden gnome.

@PinataHeeHaw Tom Kerridge? Sexy? TOM KERRIDGE? Have you put too much sherry in your trifle? I mean, you have Matt Tebbutt and James Martin on the menu, but you think Tom Kerridge is sexy? Dear God, I think you have a serious case of food poisoning ... 😂
