Gordon Ramsay is in the kitchen of Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in Chelsea, and it’s hot, intense and frenzied, wrote fly-on-the-wall reporter Nicci Gerard in the Observer on 24 January 1999.
‘Over everyone towers Ramsay, barking orders, spraying expletives across the room… tasting, shouting (“Fucking unbelievable!”), calming (“Guys, guys, guys!”).’ Ramsay, 32, the ‘wunderkind of the cooking world’, is running what is ‘not a democracy but a dictatorship’. Channel 4 was filming the kitchen for Ramsay’s Boiling Point, a five-part documentary.
