There is a reason that tough talking, no-nonsense celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has over 5 million followers on Twitter. It’s because he says it like he sees it. The British culinary veteran’s fans love his no-holds-barred approach, and most of them revel in all the bashing they receive when they ask Ramsay to rate their foodie attempts on Twitter. How does it work? Well, every now and then, fans from all over the world showcase their culinary creations on Twitter and ask for the Brit’s feedback. And while Ramsay’s reaction usually constitutes criticism (he doesn’t mince his words), for once, he broke the pattern and complimented a fan, sending Twitter into a tizzy.

One fan, Bridgett, from Boca Raton, Florida, asked the chef his thoughts on the skillet pork loin that her fiancé had prepared for dinner. Ramsay replied, “Marry him”, leaving his followers astounded. This led to fans tweeting their disbelief.
