Ramsey's at it AGAIN

His Gordoness just can’t seem to stay out of the public eye these days. (Ten points to his massive publicity dept). Not only has he been named the British man that most men respect by ‘Esquire’ magazine, but he’s also in the press today for taking bluefin tuna off the menu at two of his London restaurants (after criticism from conservationists). Just weeks ago he was in deep doo-doo as animal rights activists dumped a load of horse manure at the entrance to his ‘Claridge’s restaurant in protest against his promotion of horse meat as a healthy and nutritious alternative. There was also a bit of a run in with the Beckhams recently when he asked to be able to keep some lambs on the Beckhams country estate. After making sure that Gordon’s lambs were frolicking happily on their lawns, the Beckhams were horrified to discover that their guests were to take part in Ramseys series ‘The F Word’. (Wouldn’t you think it would have been obvious that they were ultimately destined for Gordon’s dinner table?) However this latest bit of news really brings home the old saying “It doesn’t matter what they say, as long as they keep talking about ya”. Despite slagging off McDonalds and Burger King just last month, Gordon has now confessed that he visits fast food drive thru’s INCOGNITO! He says no one ever knows it’s him as he has black car windows and always calls ahead. Apparently he’s in and out in just ten seconds (I won’t go there, though I’d LOVE to) Gordon thinks there’s something very sexy about the way they flame grill a whopper. All of that said, the new series of HELLS KITCHEN hits our screens next month......LUV IT!
