As Ozempic and Mounjaro reshape eating habits, some restaurants are adapting — and Gordon Ramsay isn't impressed. The celebrity chef and star of Fox's 'Next Level Chef' said he thinks the new trend of GLP-1-inspired menus at restaurants is 'stupid.
' 'If I ever hear that word again, the 'Mounjaro menu,' I will flip my lid,' Ramsay told Tasting Table. OZEMPIC BOOM COLLIDES WITH AMERICA'S EATING HABITS AS RESTAURANTS SHRINK PORTIONS 'I've never heard anything so embarrassing in all my life that chefs are now getting organized with smaller tasting menus to support the weight-loss jab. I've never heard anything so stupid in all my life.' Ramsay said dining out is meant to be 'a celebration.' 'It's a reconnection. It's a moment of no politics. It's a moment of neutral ground, having fun, catching up and enjoying,' Ramsay added. 'To supplement those menus with tasting menus that are Mounjaro kitted out for small portions, I find it embarrassing.' Fox News Digital reached out to the Washington, D.C.-based National Restaurant Association for comment. FAST FOOD GOES GLP-1: SHAKE SHACK JOINS PROTEIN CRAZE WITH NEW OZEMPIC-FRIENDLY MENU Recent research suggests that when GLP-1 users go out to eat, they aren't abandoning restaurants altogether — they're ordering differently. A January study from Chicago-based research company Circana found that GLP-1 users decreased the average number of items ordered per visit by just 1%, while favoring main dishes over sides. The research also showed growing demand for vegetables, fruit and nutrient-dense foods. That's prompted many restaurants and fast-food chains to adapt, offering smaller portions targeting the GLP-1 consumer.

Ramsay also railed on some other recent restaurant trends, including smashed avocado. 'Foams … look like your cat's puked up on it.' 'Do you have any idea how many ways you can make a delicious avocado?' Ramsay told Tasting Table.

But if I still see this word 'smashed avocado,' honestly, it frustrates the hell out of me.' His other pet peeve, Ramsay revealed, is foam.
