Gordon Ramsay has credited his success in the United States to Americans knowing "f*** all" about good food. The celebrity chef has opened up about the culture shock he faced after moving to the States in 2004, one year before the first episode of Hell's Kitchen aired.
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.
