The contestant Christine Ha later won that year's MasterChef and went on to open a restaurant in Houston called The Blind Goat.

This apple pie recipe is on the menu and it's called Rubbish Apple Pie.

[–]afcbaumer 1118 points1119 points  (87 children)

As a Houstonian, time to get my ass to The Blind Goat.

[–]GamingGrayBush 374 points375 points  (73 children)

Well, we're gonna need an update on how the apple pie is.

    This is what happens when a subreddit bans the bot. It can't reply to the first one with the "click here to also be reminded" link, so everyone just posts their own comment and spams the thread.

    Why in tf would remindmebot be banned?

    [–]Watchful1 3 points4 points  (1 child)

    They're about to be so confused as to why they're getting so many orders tn... I'm definitely getting this for dinner now. Always love new recommendations in this city. I just moved to Houston from Ohio in May and the food here is ridiculously amazing!

    Edit: I went and it was awesome!!! Apple pie was much different than the show, kind of a hot pocket but with this delicious ginger and fish caramel which is like way better than it sounds lol. Awesome sticky wings too! https://i.imgur.com/GS8tpW7.jpg

    [–]juicyjaysanchez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    As a fellow Houstonian; I second this

    [–]harrellj 121 points122 points  (1 child)

    It's amazing what someone can do if they really know how to cook and how things taste, even without being able to use all the senses.

    There was an episode of Chopped where the first two rounds had some sort of shellfish in the basket and one of the competitors was allergic to it. He still survived each round and couldn't taste his food for seasoning before presenting it.

    [–]unsteadywhistle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    That's crazy. Cooking shellfish releases partials in the air making it possible to have a severe allergic reaction without even touching it.

    [–][deleted] 63 points64 points  (0 children)

    I’m glad you posted this cause I was about to google what happened to her through my ocean wet crying eyes! Fucking A Ramsey! He took his time and was considerate of her condition, appealed to her available senses and genuinely just embrace the moment! We don’t deserve him!

    [–]kiaranickole 32 points33 points  (0 children)

    By far my favorite season. I bought her MasterChef cookbook after she won!!!

    [–]Muzgath 19 points20 points  (0 children)

    If I ever find myself in Houston I will make it my personal mission to visit The Blind Goat and try that Rubbish Apple Pie.

    [–]Tomegranate225 1225 points1226 points  (24 children)

    Imagine how hilarious it would have been if when he tasted it the flavor was awful. Like he’s giving this whole big inspirational speech like “hear that crust? Immaculately crispy. The slice? Perfectly intact. And the flavor?...” takes bite and starts gagging

    [–]FresnoMac[S] 727 points728 points  (12 children)

    Hahaha, I thought about it too but he probably calculated that a pie that looks that good wouldn't taste awful at the very least.

    Later, he even said that he considers apple pies to be veey boring but this contestant's pie was the best he had ever tasted.

    Her name is Christine Ha and she won that edition of MasterChef and later opened her own restaurant in Houston called The Blind Goat and had this very recipe on her menu and called it Rubbish Apple Pie.

    [–]HitooU2 84 points85 points  (0 children)

    That's super heartwarming :)

    [–]needs_spiderman_pics 45 points46 points  (5 children)

    The judges taste the food throughout the cooking process. If it were going to taste awful, they'd know well before the final, filmed tasting.

    [–]TheRiteGuy 8 points9 points  (4 children)

    How would they taste a pie before it's cooked?

    [–]Cautemoc 25 points26 points  (0 children)

    To be honest, you don't even need to taste it. They can watch them making the thing. How bad could a person even make an apple pie taste if they at least used the right ingredients?

    [–]Landelyon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

    You get an idea from the filling and how the dough looks/feels

    [–]TheRiteGuy 13 points14 points  (2 children)

    I agree with him. In general, I don't like apple, peach, pumpkin, pecan pies. I think I'm just not a pie person. But a good pie is just so different from your everyday pie.

    The best Apple Pie I had was at Apple Hill in Placerville, California. That slice of pie was completely different from anything I've ever had. It was more than 10 years ago, and I still remember it. They also had the best apple juice I've ever had. I don't like apple juice either (just tastes like sugar water). I prefer my water not sugared. Apple Hill just knows how to do apple products right.

    [–]Dinner_in_a_pumpkin 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    Abel’s Apple Acres?

    [–]TheRiteGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Omg, Yes. I couldn't remember the name of the place. But yes, that's the place!

    [–]gsauce8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    He also probably did a calculated guess on the fact that it was Christine. I remember watching this season (to this day Christine is my favourite Masterchef contestant) and Christine very rarely made mistakes.

    [–]Peeper_Collective 44 points45 points  (0 children)

    [–][deleted] 2051 points2052 points  (45 children)

    most people think he is a guy that just yells at people for being a fucking donkey, but he's actually a great guy, he still yells a lot but he gives people opportunities to grow

    [–]jabbadarth 986 points987 points  (17 children)

    Watch his original British kitchen nightmares. They show him spending much more time teaching and working with employees and genuinely being s great guy. It was just when they brought the show to America that they over produced it and spent half the episode showing him screaming. I mean he demands perfection and won't allow people to be lazy but he also seems to genuinely care when people make mistakes or are just learning.

    [–]ILikeUAsUAre 192 points193 points  (1 child)

    Yeah, he totally seems like the type of dude who is a TOUGH chef, but if you're willing to push yourself and if you actively WANT to better yourself, he's incredibly helpful, giving credit where it's due, and really pulling for people to succeed.

    I absolutely love Gordon Ramsay.

    [–]BluudLust 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    I mean, if he's wasting his time being there in a show, they better at least care about improving.

    [–]TheGreatAgnostic 54 points55 points  (2 children)

    I’m not much of a British TV watcher, but the British version of Kitchen Nightmares was awesome. The American version is just: your place is a shithole, your employees don’t do their jobs, cue up screaming and drama from the staff/owner, they leave for the night, and when they come back, the studio has redesigned their kitchen.

    [–]jabbadarth 19 points20 points  (1 child)

    Yeah one was a show where a chef taught people how to cook and went over FOH best practices and the other was a look how gross and how can you be this dumb.

    [–]TheGreatAgnostic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    Yup...pretty much.

    [–]kindredfold 266 points267 points  (4 children)

    I was gonna say, all that’s really down to how the American producers wanted to portray him.

    [–]nathanatkins15t 133 points134 points  (0 children)

    The difference in music and sound is ridiculous. US kitchen nightmares uses a waterphone ffs lol

    [–]RollyPug 31 points32 points  (2 children)

    It’s less about how the American producers want to portray him and more about including more drama. American reality tv is mostly about the drama. They are notorious for edging on the drama or even writing it in. I believe I heard that they didn’t just include more of him yelling, but Chef Ramsay was actually told to yell more for the American show.

    [–]lazyboredandnerdy 15 points16 points  (1 child)

    Isn't it the producers making those decisions though? Like everything you said is right about why it's done, but the producers would be the ones making those calls and telling him to tell more.

    [–]RollyPug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    Yeah, my bad. That’s what I meant.

    [–]Poentje-III 11 points12 points  (0 children)

    Absolutely this. Ramsey's older shows in the UK were so great. It looks soo raw and real. He is a great guy.

    [–]pheonixblade9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    he only yells at people that think they're better than they are. he has a great deal of patience for people who want to learn and improve, and have humility.

    [–]ReddDead13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    I mean his first show ever was a British documentary show 'Boiling Point' which took place in his restaurant and he was even worse than you see him in Hell's Kitchen so idk where people get the idea he did this just for tv in America. You can watch a lot of the episodes on YouTube.

    [–]FresnoMac[S] 277 points278 points  (10 children)

    Also, the people he yells at are mostly in Hell's Kitchen and they're professional cooks, so he demands higher standards.

    He's a much different person in MasterChef where most of the contestants are amateur home chefs.

    [–]rawkfemme 102 points103 points  (5 children)

    This. He comes off as cruel to people who are supposed to be professionals and know better, but to home chefs and people who are learning, he's a wholesome goober. His work on Master Chef Junior is downright heartwarming.

    [–]TartanToni 28 points29 points  (1 child)

    Yeah I was happily surprised when I first saw him with the kids! Makes him more of an enabler :)

    [–]M-PB 8 points9 points  (0 children)

    He’s encouraging them to keep getting better if that’s something they love

    [–]EverElusiveKudo 5 points6 points  (2 children)

    He reminds me a bit of Jesus. Hear me out. To the people who were open, aware of their faults, wanting to do better, He was kind, patient, and compassionate. When people were proud, religious leaders who were blind to their faults, but condemned others for theirs, He railed on them. Jesus called corrupt religious teachers whitewashed tombs, a pit of vipers, sons of the devil.

    [–]pheonixblade9 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    he literally flipped the tables of greedy money changers

    [–]boringdystopianslave 172 points173 points  (1 child)

    He is a big softy really. He never gets angry with anyone on the amateur level.

    He only goes ballistic when it's a professional chef getting paid decent money to serve up a plate of cold bollocks.

    [–]joomi002 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    Hello bloody mallu,I have seen you in kerala sub Just dropping here to say hi :)

    [–]RapGamePterodactyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    FWIW he's cooled down a good bit in the later seasons of Hell's Kitchen. The last three seasons (17-19) have actually had a ton of extremely good chefs which makes the competition a lot more interesting imo.

    [–]Fuck_Lasagna 49 points50 points  (0 children)

    He's a wholesome sandwich

    [–]Goldeneye07 8 points9 points  (1 child)

    Even when he yells he seems to still be caring bout the contestants but in the other side the Bald guy in this show is just a straight up A$$hole, if Gordon is critical bout my food and gets angry at me id still understand, but if that bald ever behaved with me the way he usually does he’s gona have the mafia sent after him

    [–]LordAxalon110 10 points11 points  (6 children)

    Ex chef here who actually knows a hell of alot of chefs who have worked for Ramsey over the years. He's a complete arse bandit and cock wobbler, yeah he's an amazing chef but he's an absolute toss pot to work for. Don't let anything that he does on TV give you an inch of the kind of person he is to work for, so for those that think he's amazing and such a kind hearted person. Of course he is on TV, he's paid to be entertaining but in the real world he's a fucking wanker to work for.

    [–]JanMichaelLarkin 22 points23 points  (1 child)

    It’s like people keep saying- if his role is that of a teacher he seems compassionate and genuinely interested in helping others improve. If his role is that of a boss and he’s dealing with professionals who are being paid to do a job, he has understandably little patience. Sounds like your chef friends just weren’t that great at their jobs

    [–]LordAxalon110 16 points17 points  (0 children)

    I was a chef for 20 years and a lot of my chef friends have worked at some of the finest places in the world, from rosette to Michelin star. To be able to get a job at a place of those standards you Need to have a certain level of skill which all of my friends have (in the group of ones that worked for Ramsey), so saying "sounds like your chef friends just weren't great at their jobs" just shows how blinded and the serious lack of knowledge of the catering industry you have.

    The catering industry is one of the hardest industries to work in and if you've never done it you'll never understand it, but what your missing is that he plays a character on TV its not really the real him. The real him to work for is someone who screams in your face for no reason or throws pans at you, burns your hand on the solid top (a large thick flat metal top with gas jets under them) because you dropped two quail eggs by accident when you was rushing.

    He's from the older generation of abusive and arrogant chefs, where you wear a badge of honour for making your front of house team cry, or how many sexist jokes you can tell or how many hours a week you work etc.

    TV has glamorize the chef world when in fact its one of the worst trades you can work in, the drug and alcohol abuse in catering is an all time high, mental health in catering is at an all time high (not covid related), suicide in chefs is becoming the norm.

    So don't let what TV tells you determine what in fact happens in the real world, because let me tell you TV is for entertainment and not for facts.... Unless your David Attenborough.

    [–]TheRiteGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Don't know why you're getting downvoted. From everything we see on TV and his social media, he seems like a pretty decent guy. But you seem to have some friends that know different.

    Any anecdotes you can share?

    [–]tyler_durden2021 469 points470 points  (27 children)

    I’m just baffled that she can even cook anywhere near that level and she’s blind. Go ahead and blindfold yourself and go into your kitchen and try to bake a pie. Unreal. Props to her. I’m always amazed at people who have disabilities and end up accomplishing more than what most people without a disability can.

    [–]JulianTheKoala 308 points309 points  (13 children)

    Agreed. That said, I do want to say something a bit unrelated about disability. Often times, disabled people aren't valued unless they do something extraordinary. Rudolph the red nosed reindeer style. Blind people who can't bake amazing pies or have amazing talents. Autistic people without excellent math skills or extreme talents in STEM. Depressed people who don't turn their suffering into some motivational story. People whose disabilities genuinely limit them, are deprived of rights or compassion because the few who can "overcome" their disability are all over the media, spreading this concept that disabled people can matter by doing useful things. Except that's not true. We can't all do useful things. We can't all "overcome." Its not for a lack of trying. That's why we need more rights and respect. We need people to have value outside of what they can "contribute." This is an AMAZING story about a blind woman who overcame the odds and did something great, but we shouldn't start treating disabled people like they matter only when they do something like this. Sorry for the long rant!

    [–]LEJ5512 77 points78 points  (6 children)

    It's phrases like "disabled, but..." that are red flags for that kind of content.

    On the other hand, most people -- abled or disabled -- aren't valued unless they do something extraordinary. But yeah, it feels like the bar gets so much higher for disabled individuals.

    [–]meltingpotato 2 points3 points  (0 children)


    I feel its the opposite though. if I had an accident that led to a disability I would just give up and die so seeing a disabled person do anything (that is normal for others) seems extraordinary to me. Reading, walking, eating, drinking, you name it. and then they have some extra special abilities as well like reading lips, knowing a person by their smell, doing everything with their legs (including driving!) and so much more

    I understand where you come from but I believe that mentality is just from those who never met a disabled person or actually put though into the matter.

    [–]FresnoMac[S] 46 points47 points  (0 children)

    A fellow contestant once set her up with a live crab to cook dish and she actually pierced herself once superficially.

    You should watch all of her dishes on the show. Extraordinary, really. They way she works just off her sense of touch and smell is amazing.

    [–]Chewbecca713 12 points13 points  (2 children)

    Its really amazing, but just so you know blindness is a spectrum! :) Christina (the chef in this video) once described her vision as if looking into a fogged mirror all the time. Absolute props to her, I stab myself while cooking on a good day, but she is probably still able to see much more than if someone was 100% blind

    [–]Mkitty760 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    I was wondering about this. She seemed to know where Gordon's face was to look at him, and didn't really give a totally-blind-can't-see-anything vibe.

    [–]boringdystopianslave 20 points21 points  (0 children)

    Try using a knife. We've all cut our fingers while cooking and we can see.

    I have always been in awe watching my blind grandmother cook. I still get nervous though when she is chopping something or checking the heat, but she’s been cooking since she was a teenager totally blind.

    And most of her recipes she’s needed to memorize because she can’t keep checking the brail recipe throughout incase she gets the pages dirty or wet.

    [–]bitetheasp 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    Masterchef USA season 3, the episode where she gets a live crab is even more impressive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jF5u8h_jB4M

    That was the episode Gordon told her she cooks like an angel

    [–]c_c_c__combobreaker 30 points31 points  (2 children)

    Ryan is such a dick.

    [–]TheRiteGuy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

    I don't watch this show so I don't know the characters. But it looks like Ryan gave her the better ingredient to work with. His intentions might have been malicious, but I think even if you were her friend, you should have given her the live crab.

    Yeah, she's blind, but that's not all she is. She's an amazing cook and she can handle the challenge.

    [–]ArciusRhetus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    Christine said that the show intentionally made Ryan look like a dick to add drama. One example is when her hand is pricked by the crabs, Ryan is shown smiling right after that. The two scenes are in fact not related, he was smiling at something else. He is actually much nicer to her than shown.

    [–]gsauce8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    I think what was more impressive is when she remade the shashimi and it even looked the same as the presentation one. There was a conspiracy theory that she wasn't actually blind when the show was airing, and honestly I can't say it's the dumbest idea I've ever heard after watching the show (I mean not that I believe it, but it'd be be pretty easy not to).

      I'm a big fan of Chef John but how else would you check if something is crispy without eating it? I feel like every professional baker does this from time to time.

      [–]Airwalls 10 points11 points  (3 children)

      That's a normal thing for chefs.

      [–]GothSpite 57 points58 points  (4 children)

      He is such a kind sweet guy, a perfectionist sure, but he still takes the time to be kind when it counts.

      [–]beluuuuuuga 159 points160 points  (1 child)

      Gordon Ramsay is a good guy. I wish he never moved his show to America where he's mostly just told to shout at people for entertaining TV. I'd much rather this wholesome stuff.

      [–]LEJ5512 37 points38 points  (1 child)

      That's YEARS of self-doubt that you're seeing in her. Goodness gracious.

      [–]Pekkashi_Kitsune 22 points23 points  (0 children)

      You know you have seen a lot of memes of Gordon when you expect him to Trowh a pie at her face and call it shit, ngl this made me smile a lot

      [–]KatieCashew 50 points51 points  (1 child)

      Wait... She baked an apple pie for less than 18 minutes and it turned out fully cooked and golden brown? Even on the bottom? HOW???

      [–]Ninjy42 43 points44 points  (0 children)

      I cook my apples before hand, and only put my pie in for about 20 to cook the crust the bottom ends up less soggy and the flavor really gets inside the apple.

      [–]TreyBaird 54 points55 points  (1 child)

      I do not care for Chef Gordon’s public persona that he has made for himself.

      This clip is a good example of why. When he’s talking calmly and not portraying the negative stereotypes of kitchen culture, he’s actually incredibly charming.

      And he can cook like a boss. I never gave him a chance until I watched his cooking shows. And now I wished I had started watching him years earlier.

      I would imagine there’s a lot of other people out there who feel the same way.

      [–]LEJ5512 36 points37 points  (0 children)

      He was a guest on an episode of the Korean cooking "competition", "Please Take Care Of My Fridge", and it looked like he had a great time.

      The premise of the show is, they bring on a celebrity entertainer, like a singer, actor, comedian, etc., and their refrigerator from home — unaltered, loaded with whatever they had, practically as you'd see it if you walked into their home and opened it yourself. Then, a regular panel of professional chefs, led by two emcees, will take turns and attempt to cook some meals from the contents of the fridge, hoping to one-up each other and please the celebrity guest.

      Gordon Ramsay took the place of one of the chefs for an episode and hung in there pretty well. This is a clip of the beginning of the episode, and this is partway through one of the meals. Great fun to see him simply being a chef under pressure.

      This is one of those clips I can watch 100 times and I tear up every time.

      [–]Lawlux 9 points10 points  (3 children)

      Not to take away from her skill and accomplishments, but if I recall true, Christine Ha wasn't 100% totally blind, but indeed fairly blind for sure.

      [–]nyokarose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Legally blind I believe - so from what I understand the best vision she could possibly have: If there is a billboard that you can read the small letters at 200 feet away (2/3 of a football field), she would have to get within 20 feet to be able to see clearly. It can be worse, that’s the best it can be for legal blindness.

      I think in one of the episodes she described her level of blindness as looking into a mirror in the bathroom when the mirror is foggy - she can see large shapes and colors but no detail.

      [–]Landelyon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      I was wondering just that, because when she was talking to Ramsay she didn't have that lost look you see on people 100% blind. Still what she's done is amazing.

      [–]rileyjw90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Yes, her eyes tracked movement in a practiced way that someone completely blind could never do, even ones who used to be able to see. Most blind people I’ve seen will look at the source of the sound, so right at someone’s mouth. If they try to “look” at someone it’s usually just a touch off kilter. Some folks know to look a bit above where the noise is coming from to appear to be looking into the other person’s eyes, but the moment that person stops talking and shifts even just a little, it’s gone.

      She goes on to win the season too, she’s absolutely amazing and the season is inspiring

      Where can i watch this show?

      [–]mindsawake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Hulu has all seasons, 1-10.

      [–]FresnoMac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      No idea, but individual bits are on YouTube. I watched it when it first aired.

      It's Master Chef USA Season 3.

      [–]anitaform 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Despite criticism, sometimes warranted, this is one of the reasons why I love and admire this man's career.

      Spoiler alert!! Christine went on to win the entire competition that season. I watched it live. Your disability doesn’t have to hold you back from anything.

      Why am I crying?!? The background music is so uplifting paired with the normally smart angry comments from GR.

      [–]Nerry19 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      How such an insufferable a-hole and such a sweet thoughtful caring soul live in the same body is beyond me. But they do

      [–]Tom-RC23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Imagin when he pauses after saying "and the flavour" it suddenly flips and absolutely goes in on her like he has done on meny others😂😭. It would be totally brutal but I think I'd be crying with tears.

      [–]WooooshMeIfUrGay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      It would have been funny if at the end she just said "I see what you mean Chef"

      [–]humangenitalia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      This is so lovely. I teared up with her! I am such a self doubter, so him not only just telling her to stop being that way, but describing in detail everything she did right was such a compassionate response. I bet that was so motivating!!! I love seeing this kind of stuff.

      [–]IAmHereToGetYou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      People, people, people, if Gordon the great yeller can be this kind so can you.

      Please let go of all hatred and racism, don't be judgmental, let's all love one another, come on, who else do we have? we are not enemies, we are all allies, let's all love and live. There is no need for someone to die for any single reason, absolutely no reason..

      This is a message to me as much as it is to everyone out there.

      [–]Negative1Life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      "And the flavor... It's fucking RAWWWW"

      Jokes aside, very happy that she got that response and even happier to know the results of that season and her career
