GORDON RAMSAY BIOGRAPHY

Gordon Ramsay has been called a lot of things in his life. “Nice guy” probably isn’t one of them. Chef Gordon Ramsay is more known for his temper and scathing outbursts in the kitchen. However, despite his unconventional management style, he is without a doubt one of the best chefs in the world and has several successful restaurants to prove it.

The Footballer from Scotland

Born in 1966 in Scotland, Gordon Ramsay aspired to a life-long career as a professional footballer. He was, in fact, a very good soccer player and joined the Glasgow Rangers (Pro) at the age of 15. He played with the Rangers from 1982 until 1985 when a knee injury ended his career.

Let's Try Cooking

After a disappointing end to his soccer career, Gordon Ramsay turned to hotel management school. After graduating, he apprenticed with Marco Pierre White at Harvey’s in London. Two years later, he joined Albert Roux at Le Gavroche. He also worked for three years in France with master chefs Jöel Robuchon and Guy Savoy.

A Star is Born

In 1993 Gordon Ramsay took the reins of the newly opened Aubergine. Within three years, he had earned two Michelin stars. After a breakup with the restaurant’s backers, Gordon Ramsay left Aubergine, taking his staff with him.In 1998, Chef Gordon Ramsay opened his first wholly owned restaurant, Gordon Ramsay’s, at the age of 32. The London restaurant was quickly recognized as one of the best in the world and was awarded three stars by Michelin.

Birth of an Empire

Gordon Ramsay has opened other critically acclaimed restaurants since then, including Gordon Ramsay at Claridge’s and Boxwood Café. Ramsay has ambitions of opening several more restaurants including one in America.

It Makes Good Television

Chef Ramsay’s ferocious temper and foul language has made him a favorite of TV producers both here in America and in the UK. A delightful BBC program is Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares. Chef Ramsay travels around England visiting some of the worse run restaurants in the country and then spends the next two weeks trying to make them successful.

If we can believe the BBC, Ramsay always succeeds in plucking the failing businesses from bankruptcy and putting them on firmer ground. A new series of episodes is slated to air in 2005.

Coming to America

Gordon Ramsay’s notoriety grew enormously with the release of Hell’s Kitchen. First airing in the UK, Ramsay has two weeks to turn British celebrities into professional chefs. The American version soon followed with a variety of candidates competing to win their own restaurant.

Both versions highlight Ramsay’s quick temper, demeaning rants, and his obsession with perfection. Entertaining to be sure, but probably not an accurate portrayal of how he runs his own kitchens. If treated as cruelly, his own staff would probably have abandoned him long ago.
