Ramsay reacts

Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, who has a fiery television persona directed at incompetent cooks, used the Duet feature on the app to critique home cooks as they attempted their own recipes. The results were usually, well less than up to his standards, but the commentary was always hilarious.

Eating cream cheese and bell peppers is a thing

Ramsay collided with this next trend as people prepared what they called a "low-carb sandwich" by slathering an entire bell pepper, cut lengthwise in half, with cream cheese and filling it up with deli meat and veggies.

But other users hailed it as a delicious, easy keto-friendly snack.
