Ear, Lip, Cheek, Mouth, Hairstyle, Chin, Forehead, Shoulder, Eyebrow, Collar,

Over the years we've come to know—and love—Gordon Ramsay for his short temper and over-the-top freak-outs on cooking shows like Hell's Kitchen, MasterChef, and Kitchen Nightmares. While on air, Ramsay comes up with some real zingers, typically to critique the food he's eating ("crap" is a favorite term) but sometimes to drive home his befuddlement at how inept some chefs really are. But some of his searing insults are better—and more hilarious—than others, so we decided to round-up the best of the best. Enjoy, you idiot sandwiches.

1. Idiot Sandwich

Arguably the most famous of Ramsay's quips, the call and response insult even includes literally sandwiching one's face with two slices of bread. Ouch.

2. A Very Hot Take

This fiery lashing is still somehow hilarious despite the cannibalistic implications.

Of course the hot-headed chef also has a super-sweet side, as evidenced by his judging on MasterChef Junior. So maybe he's just trolling us all with rude comments? We'll never know.
