Whether he's judging creations on "Next Level Chef" or roasting people's homemade dishes on TikTok, Gordon Ramsay has never been easy to impress.

But when it comes to critiquing the Michelin-starred chef, Ramsay revealed that his three daughters always keep it real.

In an interview with British GQ published on Wednesday, Ramsay revealed that Megan, 24, Holly, 23, and Tilly, 21, are his toughest critics.

"They have no problem putting me in my place," he said.

Those who watch Tilly's popular TikTok channel won't be surprised. Ramsay's youngest daughter has rated his behavior on vacation and posted multiple TikToks revealing that she prefers her mother's cooking (Ramsay's wife Tana is a bestselling author who has published six cookbooks).

Ramsay isn't afraid to roast his children either. He previously posted a TikTok video reacting to Holly's attempt to cook his gnocchi recipe, writing, "Holly, I thought I taught you better!" in the caption of the clip.

His daughters may love to critique his cooking, but Ramsay said they have no plans to follow him into the kitchen.

"They needed to find their passion, and I couldn't be prouder knowing that they have," he told British GQ. "I suppose my son Oscar is my last hope of having a chef in the family. I've started putting him to bed with a fucking whisk and ladle."

Ramsay told Jimmy Fallon during a January 2021 interview that Oscar — who just celebrated his fourth birthday this week — is his "last hope of getting anyone into the industry."

"Our eldest daughter is working in PR. Holly is doing fashion. Tilly is taking a gap year. Jack has become a Royal Marine. Everyone's left the nest and nobody wants to cook," Ramsay said of his four oldest children.

Ramsay told Fallon that he hopes to sway his son to a life in the kitchen by refining his palate now.

"He starts off with beautiful oatmeal in the morning with caramelized banana," Ramsay said. "I'll do him a little light scrambled egg on toast for lunch, and then for dinner tonight he had a roasted butternut squash soup."
