About

Finally, Some Good Fucking Food refers to an image macro of Gordon Ramsay from his television show Kitchen Nightmares in which he says, "Delicious. Finally some good fucking food." The image is usually paired with what appears to be inedible or gross things to eat. Additionally, letters in the text can be blacked out to create a new phrase.

Origin

The line comes from Season 5, Episode 1 of Kitchen Nightmares in which Ramsay attends Blackberry's. The episode aired September 23rd, 2011.^[1] In the episode, Gordon Ramsay takes a bite of red velvet cake before saying the line (shown below).

The line did not become a meme until several years later, starting in the summer of 2017. Early on August 4th, 2017, Redditor Kingofgoldness uploaded two examples of the meme via Imgur links to the /r/MemeEconomy^[3] subreddit, titling the post "I came up with this. Is it good? Images in body." The post received 16 upvotes and six comments in nine years, with one of the images using the meme of Ramsay reacting to a plate with Peeps and ketchup on it and another of a plate of plastic food.

Spread

Roughly three hours after Redditor Kingofgoldness's post on /r/MemeEconomy on August 4th, 2017, Redditor CautionVeryDank reposted his plastic food meme using the reaction image to the /r/dankmemes subreddit,^[2] gaining over 2,100 points.

The picture began to be used more popularly towards the beginning of 2018, when Forbidden Snacks memes began to grow popular. An edit featuring several colorful, inedible objects was posted to /r/forbiddensnacks on January 2nd, 2018, gaining over 1,500 upvotes (shown below, left).

The same day, an edit featuring Tide Pods was posted to /r/dankmemes, where it gained over 5,000 upvotes (shown below, right).

As the image macros grew popular, other creators blacked out some of the text in the original image to create new phrases.

The most popular example of these was posted on January 6th, 2018, when Twitter user @LeftAtLondon created a variation that gained over 5,000 retweets and 15,000 likes (shown below).
