Ramsay supports blind chef contestant Post Staff Writer Last Updated: 10:50 AM, June 11, 2012 Posted: 10:33 PM, June 10, 2012Foul-mouthed chef Gordon Ramsay this week had to defend his decision to include a blind cook on his
TV series “MasterChef.”Ramsay’s Twitter followers bombarded him with rough comments about the contestant Christine Ha, who dazzled the judges with a Vietnamese catfish dish on the series’ second season debut show. “Of course they gave a blind woman an apron. They [Fox apparently] will do anything to attract
viewers.” wrote one Twitter fan.“How dare you put a blind woman into ‘MasterChef’! ‘Oh, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to burn you with hot
oil. Sorry, I wasn’t looking,’ ” wrote another. Another simply said: “A blind contestant? Really?!” Ramsay responded in characteristically blunt fashion.“You’re sick. Get some help! Unbelievable. She cooked an amazing dish!” he tweeted. The TV chef retweeted a message of support to his 850,000 followers which read: “As a blind instructor, thank you for having the guts to have a visual impaired cook on.”
