(FOUR) EX JOCK
I think it’s safe to say that Gordon Ramsay is one of the most popular television chefs out there right now. None of this would of happened if he hadn’t of gotten badly injured. He was a football (soccer to my fellow Americans), and seemed to of loved it. In 1984, he had a tryout with Rangers, his favorite team as a kid. The story was that he got hurt, played through the injury and got hurt more so by doing that. I could easily imagine him as rowdy hooligan.
(THREE) WON’T BE SUED
There have been some claims that his team sets up problems at restaurants for Ramsey to come in and “fix” to make his show “Kitchen Nightmares” better. On the flip, one lady sued then for lying about the condition of her restaurant. She not only lost, but Ramsay was awarded 75,000 pounds plus cost. That’s like 4.7 Billion in American.
(TWO) KITCHEN CRED
G-Ram is one of only four UK chefs to maintain three “Michelin Stars” for his restaurant. These “Michelin Stars” are big deals. Three stars basically mean you should go out of your way to eat at this place and it’s worth the trip. On top of that sign of quality, Ramsay has won three Catey awards, awards for hospitability. There are plenty more awards where that came from. This is basically me saying that, “Yes Gordon Ramsay can be annoying and over the top and I admit his shows can sometimes be annoying and over the top themselves, but at least he’s got the cred and respect in the food world to be talking about it and presenting it… unlike Rachel Ray!” Yeah!
(ONE) NEVER SLEEPS… MAY BE VAMPIRE.
I’m fairly certain that Gordon Ramsay and Criss Angel are from the same vampire cult. Ramsay must never sleep and he has to be able to turn into a bat to fly back and forth between the US and UK all the time. Then we top this suspicion off with the fact that he currently had FIVE SHOWS ON TELEVISION. FIVE! These aren’t sit down, one location, and talk show type of productions either. These are full blown, put in the man hour type of projects. He has a British version AND a US version of “Kitchen Nightmares”, There’s “Hell’s Kitchen”, “The F Word”, and this new one “MasterChef”. He keeps going and going and the ratings remain at the top or damn well near it. The guy is kind of a jerk at times, but you can tell it’s all part of his persona. Whatever he’s doing, he’s gotta be on to something to have this much success. But for real, he can’t be human and all these shows air at night… so yeah, he’s a vampire. That’s right, Gordon Ramsay is a vampire. You heard it here first.
