Chef Gordon Ramsay Can Now Insult Your Cooking, Via LA Startup's Alexa Skill

Wish that you, too, can be insulted by Chef Gordon Ramsay when you can't make a grilled cheese sandwich? You too, can be insulted by the famous celebrity chef--through Amazon's Alexa--thanks to a Los Angeles startup, Ground Control, led by startup veteran Mike Macadaan. According to Ground Control, it is powering a new, interactive skill for Alexa which will allow users to "hear what it feels like to work in Chef Ramsay's kitchen". The new skill is free for Amazon Alexa device owners. Ground Control is backed by Creative Artists AGency (CAA). Macadaan was previously Chief Creative Officer at Science Inc., CCO at Fox Interactive, VP of User Experience and Design at AOL, among other roles in LA's startup industry.
