Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has said that the Covid pandemic has weeded out ‘crap’ restaurants. In an interview with the Radio Times, he added that the massive upheaval caused to the hospitality industry, while ‘devastating’, has ‘wiped the arrogance from the industry’.
The celebrity chef, who is not known to mince his words, said that some outlets had ridden on good locations for footfall rather than delivering quality for too long, and the restaurant business will be forced to ‘raise its game’.
Ramsay was speaking in an interview with former cabinet minister and shadow chancellor Ed Balls in the magazine.
