When a majority of his admirers found another talent to add to the Rock’s arsenal, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay came up with a little suggestion. He deemed the dish to be undercooked and told Dwayne Johnson to season it longer. “Maybe a touch more seasoning Dwayne,” he wrote.

‘Do you smell what The Rock is cooking catchphrase’: the origin explained

The Gen Z wrestling buffs obsess over smelling what the Rock is cooking. However, not many of them seem to be aware of what that catchphrase actually denotes. Behalf of all of them, a fan once voiced his curiosity on Twitter questioning, ”Why did no one ever question WHY the Rock was cooking? His wrestling persona was not a chef.this keeps me up at night.” It didn’t go unnoticed by the Great One, who himself came up to clear the air but at the same time left a little space for self-work. ”Actually, my wrestling persona, Rock’s backstory, is that he’s an Executive Chef who specializes in moist Croquembouche (google it). 👨🏾‍🍳” The Rock replied.
