The Independent Asks “Is Gordon Ramsay Finally F***ed?”

From the UK’s Independent:

gordonramsay1“Gordon Ramsay is well known for his fruity language, so the air around him must have blue indeed last week as one setback after another made life hell for the man who created Hell’s Kitchen and The F Word.”

“There was the embarrassing revelation that some of the meals offered in his London restaurants are pre-prepared in a mini-factory across town. Then he was told his eateries had been dropped from a list of the world’s best restaurants. On top of this, Ramsay is no longer thought to be rich enough to make it into the latest Rich List (Jamie Oliver is). And to cap it all, he has been on antibiotics – while preparing for the London Marathon – after eating a dodgy dish of chilli beef.”

“Not a good week, in all, for the owner of the only restaurant in London to merit three Michelin stars. Not that the past six months have been great, either. At the end of last year, the apparently happily married Ramsay was accused of having had a seven-year affair, and a few weeks later his highly regarded PR Gary Farrow resigned. If this were not a family newspaper, one would be tempted to ask: ‘Is Gordon Ramsay finally F***ed?'”

    There are chefs here held in high regard who have some of their products prepared off site as well. It’s a non-issue. They own the kitchens the foods are prepared in and hold the cooks to the same standards, what’s wrong with this practise?

    The dishes the Sun listed as being made off-site were braises. Anyone who expects their braised pork cheeks to be cooked to order is just ignorant, but what can you expect from a newspaper with page 3 girls?
