“Under the Sea” is a memorable song from The Little Mermaid Disney movie. Gordon pulled inspiration from the film for this brutal insult aimed at one of his Hell’s Kitchen contestants. Seafood lovers know crab doesn’t taste good unless it’s properly cooked! That being said, Gordon’s anger after being presented with the undercooked dish was slightly understandable.

“My gran could do better! And she’s dead!”

Gordon’s insult game has never fallen short of being absolutely hysterical. He didn’t miss the ball with this one, either. Some might say that bringing up his dead grandmother took things a tad too far, but others would call it completely comical.

“You’re not a quitter? Hey, you’re not a f***ing cook, either!”

When a Hell’s Kitchen contestant tried insisting that he wasn’t actually a quitter, Gordon responded in the most hilarious way. He repeated the contestant’s words back in a condescending tone and proceeded to tell him he wasn’t a cook either!
