Gordon Ramsey gossip from the Wine Spectator

Wine Spectator | Articles | Unfiltered January 31, 2007

 Flush with even more Michelin-star success, Gordon Ramsay may be taking on his greatest challenge yet. The foul-mouthed, Scottish celebrity chef just picked up two more stars in the new UK Michelin guide, released on Jan. 26, bringing his star total to 10. Never satisfied, though, Ramsay is now set to start shooting his Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares TV show in the United States next month. Unlike the culinary boot camp of Hell’s Kitchen, this show has seen Ramsay turn around failing UK restaurants, using a heavy pinch of F-words and a large dollop of butt-kickin’. The show’s producer, Fox, has been tight-lipped about where in the U.S. Ramsay will be starting off, but Unfiltered couldn’t help but notice an ad on the New Orleans Craig’s List website. The ad, which isn’t confirmed, offers failing restaurants the most mouthwatering of dishes: “GORDON RAMSAY-Acclaimed Chef, Culinary Expert & Award Winning Restaurateur IS LOOKING TO HELP RESUSCITATE & FIX YOUR RESTAURANT ISSUES!” the ad declares. With all that capitalized shout-typing, Unfiltered is beginning to think the big man may have written the ad himself.
