Gordon Ramsay Cracking Egg In Ramen Meme

This meme uses a still of famously stern celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay on the set of the Masterchef cooking competition show, where he is seen intensely sharpening a kitchen knife over a food prep station. Text overlaid at the top of the image reads 'How I feel cracking an egg in my ramen'.
