Ramsay Slams 'Stupid' GLP-1 Restaurant Menus

Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has voiced strong disapproval of restaurants developing menus tailored to users of GLP-1 weight-loss medications, such as Ozempic and Mounjaro. He described the concept of "Mounjaro menus" as "stupid" and "embarrassing," asserting that dining should be a joyful celebration, not a compromise for reduced appetites. Ramsay argues that adapting menus to accommodate weight-loss injections detracts from the dining experience.

Research indicates that individuals using GLP-1 medications are indeed altering their dining habits, ordering fewer items per visit and prioritizing main courses over sides. There is also a noted increase in demand for vegetables and nutrient-dense options. In response, many eateries are introducing smaller portion sizes and health-conscious dishes to cater to this demographic, a trend that Ramsay finds regrettable. He also expressed disdain for other culinary trends, likening some foams to vomit and criticizing the overuse of "smashed avocado."
