Join chef, Gordon Ramsay is going further in his own quest to gather fresh ingredients in Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted Showdown. Only he won’t be elbowing a pensioner out of the way to snatch the last roast chicken.
As Gordon prepares for a Showdown with three former protégé, he’ll be kayaking out to get lobster, milking a buffalo to make his own cheese, and dangling from a helicopter . . . for reasons. Gordon is the ultimate one-upper, but he’ll have stiff competition this November as we unleash some Extreme Cuisine.
