Food content creator Abi Marquez, also known as “Lumpia Queen,” responded to a comment made by British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay who dared her to make a lumpia Beef Wellington.

The multi-Michelin-starred chef surprised the content creator when he dropped a comment on her video about lumpia crab cakes posted on her TikTok.

“Crab cakes but make it Lumpia,” Abi wrote as a caption.

She is known for her inventive takes on the Filipino spring roll, where she reinterprets dishes to make it into a lumpia.

For her crab cakes video, the TikTok food sensation created a crab cake mix and then wrapped it in lumpia wrapper.

She finished it off with caviar toppings.

Her video caught the attention of Gordon, who suddenly commented: “But can you do it with a Beef Wellington ???”

It has earned 182,600 likes on the platform.

Beef Wellington consists of a beef tenderloin wrapped in layers of pâté, duxelles (a finely chopped mushroom mixture), parma ham, and puff pastry, and then baked.

It is also said to be Gordon’s signature dish.

Meanwhile, another TikTok user repeated Gordon’s comment on her video with a quip.

“But can you do it with a Beef Wellington ??? eme,” user @halamel wrote.

In Filipino slang, “eme” is used as an expression usually at the end of a sentence to signify that the person is unserious or joking.

“EME,” Abi responded to the user, earning 6,304 likes.

Other TikTok users quipped for her to take Gordon’s dare and wrapped a Beef Wellington with her signature lumpia wrapper.

“Bhe, pansinin mo na si Gordon Ramsay, balutin mo na ng lumpia wrapper ang beef wellington,” user @coachmimixhi commented with a loudly crying emoji.
