Gordon Ramsay Reveals the Top New Food Trend—That Lets You Skip Salt

On May 11, Gordon Ramsay spoke with PEOPLE at the 2026 Fox Upfronts. When asked about what food trend people should try this summer season, he gave two different examples. His first was “infused olive oils.”

The legendary chef explained that you can use “olive oils with things like roasted garlic or black garlic puree. Olive oils that have been infused with Thai basil. Fragrant olive oils.”

He called this “a way of seasoning food without using salt. Using olive oil flavored beautifully can really transform a dish.”

Ramsay went on to give his second food trend suggestion: “Pickling vegetables. Honestly, delicious.”

During the Upfronts, Fox revealed that several of Ramsay’s cooking shows have been renewed for another season. They include Kitchen Nightmares, Hell’s Kitchen, Gordon Ramsay’s Secret Service, Next Level Baker, andNext Level Chef.

When speaking about filming so many different shows at the same time, Ramsay said, “I take each and every one of them independently. They all have some real unique creativity input, and so I’m very lucky I get to executive produce those.”

He continued, “I test myself before I put the challenge in front of them, and if I’m struggling with it, they’re going to struggle. So I never rest on my laurels. I’m always ripping up the rule book and trying to be a little bit disruptive, but in a creative way.”

When asked which show is his favorite, he refused to pick just one. “I have six shows on air right now,” he said. “That’s like saying, I have six kids as well, what’s my favorite kid? It depends, it’s the one that least pisses me off at the moment.”

However, he did tease one show in particular. “We’re about to start season 25 of Hell’s Kitchen next week, and it’s going to be working with youngsters from 19 to 25 years old,” he said. “The kids that grew up with the show. I am so excited to see that generation. I think it’s going to be one of the most exciting, because I love mentoring. I love teaching. I just hope they can absorb quickly.”
