Gordon Ramsay

In 2007 Gordon Ramsay earned the distinction of being one of only three chefs in the UK to hold three Michelin Stars at one time (he has been awarded a total of 16 Stars, placing him 3rd in the world for accumulation of Michelin Stars). Early in Ramsay’s career, he worked for Marco Pierre White at Harvey’s, and Albert Roux at Le Gavroche in London, and Hotel Diva in France. In1998, Ramsay opened his first restaurant called Gordon Ramsay at Royal Hospital Road. Royal Hospital Road did extremely well, earning three Michelin Stars and from there Ramsay began opening restaurants all over the world. Ramsay has featured on numerous culinary television shows, made popular by his perfectionism and his infamously bad language.
