Gordon Ramsay left fuming at ridiculous request Americans make in restaurants

While he was used to being asked ridiculous questions in the kitchen, he never expected them to come from his waiter when wining and dining himself.

When accepting an award at the Britweek Innovation Awards in Santa Monica, California, he said: "The first thing that struck me when I first came over here in 2004, I got interviewed with the lady from the LA Times, and we sat in this amazing restaurant and I couldn't eat because I was too busy talking about sort of this little documentary called Hell's Kitchen.
