About Gordon Ramsay
Scottish by birth, Gordon Ramsay was brought up in
Stratford-upon-Avon, England. With an injury prematurely putting an
end to any hopes of a promising career in football, he went back to
college to complete a course in hotel management. His dedication
and natural talent led him to train with some of the world’s
leading chefs, such as Albert Roux and Marco Pierre White in
London, and Guy Savoy and Joël Robuchon in France.
In 1993 Ramsay became chef of Aubergine in London, which within
three years, was awarded two Michelin stars. In 1998, at the age of
31, Ramsay set up his first wholly owned and namesake restaurant,
Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, which quickly received the most
prestigious accolade in the culinary world – three Michelin stars.
Today, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay is London’s longest-running
restaurant to hold this award, and Ramsay is one of only four chefs
in the UK to maintain three stars.
Now internationally renowned, multi-Michelin-starred Ramsay has
opened a string of successful restaurants across the globe, from
Italy to the United States. These include two ventures in Doha,
Qatar that opened in 2012; three restaurants in Las Vegas (Gordon
Ramsay Steak at Paris, Gordon Ramsay Pub and Grill at Caesars
Palace and Gordon Ramsay BurGR at Planet Hollywood), Gordon Ramsay
Pub and Grill in Atlantic City and Bread Street Kitchen in Hong
Kong, Singapore and Dubai. In the UK, the Gordon Ramsay Group has
opened Union Street Café, London House, Heddon Street Kitchen and
two further maze Grills, one of which is located on the former
Aubergine site on Park Walk, Chelsea.
Ramsay received an OBE (Order of the British Empire awarded by
Queen Elizabeth II) in 2006 for services to the industry.
Ramsay has also become a star of the small screen both in
the US and internationally, with top-rated FOX shows airing in more
than 200 territories worldwide including, HELL’S KITCHEN,
MASTERCHEF, MASTERCHEF CELEBRITY SHOWDOWN, MASTERCHEF JR., and
HOTEL HELL, as well as UK shows: GORDON BEHIND BARS, ULTIMATE
COOKERY COURSE, GORDON’S GREAT ESCAPES and GORDON RAMSAY: SHARK
BAIT. His highly rated KITCHEN NIGHTMARES series ran for 10 seasons
worldwide. He is also a published author of a number of books, many
of which have become bestsellers around the world, most notably his
autobiography, Roasting in Hell’s Kitchen.
Ramsay has a global partnership with WWRD (Waterford, Wedgwood,
Royal Doulton), which offers quality home and lifestyle
products.
In 2014, Ramsay and his wife, Tana, set up the Gordon and Tana
Ramsay Foundation to make a meaningful difference to charities that
are important to them. The Foundation is currently partnered with
Great Ormond Street Hospital, one London’s most respected
Children’s Hospitals.
