Chef

The Resume

    (November 8, 1966- )
    Host of ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ on FOX and ‘Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares’ on BBC America

Why he might be annoying:

    He says Ainsley Harriott is ‘not a serious chef, he’s a comedian.’
    He could give Eddie Murphy a run for his money in the foul language department.
    Journalists are said to get headaches trying to edit his interviews.
    The ads claim, he makes Simon Cowell look like a puppy.
    He thinks British cuisine has a bad reputation.
    A serious leg injury ended his soccer aspirations.
    On ‘Hell’s Kitchen,’ he has to turn ragtag chefs into champions.
    On ‘Kitchen Nightmares,’ he has to turn nasty restaurants (staff with rotten personal hygiene and disrespect for health and safety regulations) around almost overnight!

Why he might not be annoying:

    He has an extensive knowledge of French cuisine.
    He authored many cookbooks, the first being ‘Passion for Flavor’ in 1996.
    Following his soccer injury, he returned to college to study hotel management.
    He opened his first wholly-owned restaurant in 1998, in the Chelsea area of London.
    He has the first seven-Michelin-star franchise (the most coveted accolade for a European restaurant) in the UK.
    He won’t let his children watch him because he fears they will emulate him.
    Just as he gives journalists hairy conniptions, troubled restaurateurs do the same to him.
    His award-winning cuisine has made its way to London’s legendary Savoy Hotel.
    His staff is multi-ethnic. In particular, his servers can be from France, Spain and Italy.
    He was doused with a barrel of gasoline and threatened with a gun while investigating the shark fin trade in Costa Rica (January 2011).
