Gordon Ramsay Customer's Full of S*** ... But My Restaurant's Not!!!

Published

Gordon Ramsay says the only thing that's full of s*** is the TikToker who started the social media smear campaign against his restaurant.

We caught up with the celebrity chef in New York City on Tuesday ... and he's calling BS on the viral video.

ICYMI, a customer complained that a dog took a dump on a pee pad inside the London location of his Street Pizza restaurant. But an eyewitness said the same as the chef ... the pup didn't actually go to the bathroom at all.

Gordon tells us they've reviewed the CCTV footage and "under no circumstances" did the dog drop a deuce ... over even pee, for that matter.

Gordon's chalking the whole thing up to overexaggerated clickbait -- and said dogs are still welcome at his pizza spot ... just so long as you keep 'em outside on the terrace.

Five Guys CEO Gives Employees $1.5M Bonus ... I Don't Wanna Get Shot!!!

Published

Five Guys CEO Jerry Murrell would much rather give workers a big bonus than take a bullet.

He doled out $1.5M in bonuses to his employees after a birthday burger BOGO deal completely backfired ... and seemed to crack a Luigi Mangione joke in the process.

In a phone call with Fortune, he quipped ... "I didn’t want anybody shooting me in the back or anything."

When the promotion launched last month -- in celebration of Five Guys' 40th birthday -- stores were so mobbed, they ran out of food ... which stressed out crews and pissed off customers.

Murrell mused they "really screwed it up," saying ... "We had no idea that we were going to get that kind of response."

He joked he almost used the money to spoil his wife with "a new fur coat," adding ... "I spent it on [the bonus] instead. She still looks at me like I’m stupid."

But jokes aside, he said the decision to give back to his employees was "worth it," noting ... "They worked so hard. They were so overwhelmed."

Murrell ended up sending a $1K bonus check to 1,500 stores. Five Guys ran the promo again -- this time with more prep -- from March 9 to March 12.

TWO THUMBS UP

McDonald’s just rolled out its hulking new "Big Arch" burger -- but don’t look to the Golden Arches' top dog for a glowing review ... 'cause the CEO can barely seal the deal with a bite on camera.

In the now-viral clip getting roasted online, Chris Kempczinski starts off singing the burger’s praises -- then somehow seems caught off guard by the crispy onions ... before finally gearing up for the big bite, and barely making a dent.

The whole thing feels like corporate cosplay -- with Chris repeatedly calling the towering burger a "product" … then visibly panicking over how to physically tackle it.
