Watch Gordon Ramsay Go For A Guinness World Record For Cracking Eggs
After getting his first-ever Guinness World Record for the fastest time to filet a fish last week, Gordon Ramsay isn’t stopping at just one.
On this week’s episode of his new TV show The F Word, which airs live Wednesdays on FOX at 9/8pm Central, Chef Ramsay teamed up with his youngest daughter, Tilly, to attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most eggs cracked with one hand in a minute by a team of two. To make it even more of a challenge, Team Ramsay had to go up against chef and Guinness World Records enthusiast Ross McCurdy and his daughter, Mira. Ross has already won the individual record for cracking 32 eggs with one hand in a minute back in 2011, so Gordon and Tilly definitely had their hands full with this challenge.
In this duel of the duos, eggs were only counted as valid if no shell was present in the glass they were cracked into. Additionally, each team had to crack at least 28 eggs, using only one hand, in the allotted time.
Gordon Ramsay and Tilly did pretty well, barely eclipsing the 28-egg minimum by one to break the record. However, they were no match for the McCurdy squad, who cracked 33 valid eggs in 60 seconds to set the new Guinness World Record.
Better luck next time, Chef Ramsay. At least you’ve already got one Guinness World Record, which is more than what most people in the world can say they have.
