Store-bought pesto girl crowned “Queen of Pesto” by Gordon Ramsay

A TikToker who went viral for her dislike of store-bought pesto has been crowned the “Queen of Pesto” by none other than Gordan Ramsay himself.

Since September of this year, a viral trend on TikTok has seen users stitch home-cooking influencer Susi Vidal to share their wildest stories on the platform.

The stitch trend was born after Susi posted a recipe for homemade pesto, starting her video with, “Call me crazy if you want, but I never liked store-bought pesto.”

It’s a trend that has very little to do with the recipe or food in question and instead gives content creators a chance to recount their craziest experiences. Now, however, Susi has surprised all by responding to the trend with an unexpected cameo from Gordan Ramsey.

“Recently everyone thinks I’m crazy because I dont like store-bought pesto, what do you think about that?” Susi asked, appearing alongside the world-famous chef.

“I think it’s a good thing, the fact you that you dont like store-bought. More importantly, you can make a great bloody pesto so, no more store-bought — this is the new pesto queen,” Ramsay replied, with emphasis on the ‘queen’.

Thanking him, Susi asked to clarify, “So, you’re crazy [because] you dont like store-bought pesto?”

“Yeah, we are both crazy so listen, craziness makes a great chef,” Ramsay said, offering some words of wisdom. “Never forget that.”

Viewers loved the surprise crossover, with one person writing; “The pesto QUEEN! From the Man himself!”

Another said, “I have not been on board with this trend until right now. You have handled this like a queen, Susi!”
