'Uncharted': Guyana thanks Gordon Ramsay for 'showcasing the beautiful country and food' on his adventure run
In just five episodes, Gordon Ramsay Uncharted' Season 2 has proven how infectious, thrilling and addictive it can get. This week, chef-presenter Gordon Ramsay is in Guyana, navigating new waters while being wary of creepy crawlies and killer stingrays. But this wasn't only the adventures he indulged in. Gordon also ate spiders and made bow and arrow — all this while putting together an authentic Guyanese dish. However, the highlight of the show was one of the country's most preferred dish — chicken pepper pot, which is made using the juice of cassava, a root vegetable. It's quite the process, let's keep it at that.
But that didn't tire Gordon out. He's always up for that extra bit of zing — be it in his food or life. And that explains why he was so excited to forage for fresh produce. "This jungle is filled with some of the most exciting foods anywhere on the planet," Gordon told National Geographic and added that the jungle felt like a "vending machine". It was a different experience and viewers agreed when they heaped praises on the showrunners and network for airing such a nostalgic and special episode.
"Thoroughly loving this episode," a fan commented and added: "I love this show altogether, but this particular episode reminds me of my own travels to #Guyana, a truly stunning, breathtaking country, filled with incredibly friendly, giving people and delicious food, and some fantastic music too. #Uncharted." Gordon travels extensively on this show and often fans find themselves wanting to set out on a new journey. This fan is no different. "This show is the absolute best!!! The only problem is that my itch to travel (when I can’t) is worse than ever now."
"This episode of uncharted makes me want to go to Rewa and tek a beer with Rovin and go catch some piranha #uncharted@GordonRamsay," another shared a to-do list. "I just saw the show and I'm happy to say bravo for showcasing my beautiful Guyana. Do come again and again...... #proudguyanese," a viewer expressed while another posted: "This is bringing back childhood memories of pulling seine with my dad and getting yelled nonstop #Uncharted."
"I love how the show made sure to highlight the indigenous people and their contributions to the culture. #Uncharted," a user pointed out while another thanked Gordon for the episode.
