Gordon Ramsey says Pakistan has 'some of the best food'

Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey is notoriously hard to please. So when the world's most famous chef says Pakistan has "some of the best food" in the world, you better believe that our cuisine has arrived on the global map. 

Maryam Ishtiaq, a participant on Next Level Chef, has shared a video of Gordon and herself interacting on the show on her Instagram.

She tells Ramsey that she's making tandoori chicken and then adds that she has a Pakistani background. 

"Pakistan, beautiful. And some of the best food in Pakistan," Ramsey replies to her while tasting a cream and chilli concoction that she's making. 

Later in the clip, Gordon Ramsey and another judge try Maryam's tandoori chicken. A female judge praises the "home-made yogurt" for freshness while Ramsey says, "The chicken is delicious. That Pakistani foundation you grew up with is evident here and it's strong. Well done." 

Maryam shared the clip on her Instagram account with the caption: "Spoiler 🔥When @gordangram says Pakistan has some of the best food, you better believe it! We are going to the drafts baby!!" 

At the end of the clip, a teary eyed Maryam tells the camera that representing Pakistan is something she always wanted to do.
