What’s your go-to snack out on the road? Personally, I’m a sucker for either a pouch of Old Bay Goldfish (until my stockpile runs out) or a nice bag of red grapes. But if you’re a professional chef, you can probably muster up something better, can’t you?
How Big Boi Makes The Big RVs
Well celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has done just that, showing how he preps a fresh grilled cheese while he’s out on the road. He doesn’t do this with some weird in-car toastie maker, nor does he park at the side of the road and whip out a little camping stove. Instead, he turns to a 6.5-liter Cosworth V12 engine.
In his latest TikTok, chef Ramsay is on a mission to redeem his grilled cheese-making reputation after his last woeful attempt outraged everyone.
For his latest attempt at the challenging dish, Ramsay gets a slice of white bread, tops it with a stack of sliced cheese before crowning the creation with a second slab of wheaty goodness. He then wraps the creation in tin foil (neglecting to add a dash of butter to aid crispyness) and takes it over to his grill of choice.
But because Ramsay is worth an estimated $63 million, he doesn’t use a basic plug-in sandwich maker. Instead, he opens up the rear of a $3 million Aston Martin Valkyrie and plonks the sandwich down on top of its 1139-hp V12. Nice.
All that’s left to do then is complete a few hot laps in the Adrian Newey-penned hypercar, which gives the heat from the engine enough time to nicely toast the bread and start to melt the cheese. It looks like a mighty fun way to make lunch, I must say.
What do you think to chef Ramsay’s efforts? Could you have done a better job? Did he miss a secret ingredient? Or is there a car that’s better suited to the task?
The backdrop for Ramsay’s video includes a few other cars he could have chosen from, like the Ford Puma SUV, a LaFerrari and a BAC mono. Personally, I like to think he tried cooking his lunch on those three first and deemed the Aston to be the best toasted sandwich maker, but we may never know.
