Gordon Ramsay's Holdings All of Ramsay's business interests (restaurants,
media, consultancy) are held in the company Gordon Ramsay Holdings Limited, which was
run in partnership with his father-in-law, Chris Hutcheson.
Ramsay owns a 69% stake, valued at £67 million in 2007.
Whereas previous ventures acted as a combined consultant/brand, in November 2006 Ramsay
announced plans to create three restaurants in the United States in partnership with private
equity firm Blackstone Group, who are refurbishing each of the chosen hotels into five star locations
at a cost of £100 million per hotel.
At an investment of £3 million per restaurant for the 10-year lease, all the restaurants
offer the chef's trademark modern European cuisine, and opened in 2006/2007 at:
Gordon Ramsay at the London Hotel in Manhattan, New York, October 2006
Gordon Ramsay at the Cielo in Boca Raton, Florida
Gordon Ramsay at the London Hotel in West Hollywood, California
Gordon Ramsay at the Mirabelle in London In late 2006 Gordon Ramsay Holdings purchased
three London pubs which he converted into gastropubs.
These are: The Narrow in Limehouse, which opened in March 2007, the Devonshire in Chiswick,
which opened in October 2007 and The Warrington in Maida Vale, which opened in February 2008.
Both The Devonshire and The Warrington were subsequently sold in 2011 (The Warrington
to pub company Faucet Inn), leaving The Narrow as the sole pub
in GRH's portfolio.
Ramsay acts as a consultant to numerous catering organisations, and was recruited by Singapore
Airlines as one of its "International Culinary Panel" consultants.
In May 2008 it was confirmed that Ramsay's protégé of 15 years, Marcus Wareing, was
going solo, having opened and operated Pétrus at The Berkeley Hotel on behalf of Gordon
Ramsay Holdings since 2003.
With the name Pétrus owned by Gordon Ramsay Holdings, industry sources suggested it was
likely to transfer to another restaurant in the group with the former La Noisette site
identified as the most likely.
In April 2010, Jason Atherton, executive chef of Maze restaurants worldwide, resigned to
open his own venue in Mayfair.
On 19 October 2010, the company Gordon Ramsay Holdings Limited announced that Chris Hutcheson
had left his position as CEO of Gordon Ramsay Holdings Ltd.
Shortly after, Ramsay released a letter to the press describing how he had unravelled
the "manipulative" Hutcheson's "complex life" after having him followed by a private detective.
His father-in-law's "away days," wrote Ramsay, "were rarely what I thought they were."
Company accounts show Hutcheson borrowed up to £1.5 million from Gordon Ramsay Holdings,
of which he was chief executive, though he says he reported the borrowings to the company
and paid the money back.
Hutcheson said he had been "vaporised" and subjected to a "public hanging" by Ramsay,
whom he described as a friendless egotist.
In April 2017 Hutcheson pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to hack into the computers
of Gordon Ramsay Holdings Limited.[46]
In October 2012, Ramsay opened The Fat Cow in Los Angeles, US at The Grove, a shopping
area that is also popular with tourists.
Ramsay explained his intention for the Fat Cow in a press release to signify the opening
of the venue: "The concept for The Fat Cow came from my desire to have a neighbourhood
restaurant that you could go to all the time to just relax and enjoy a terrific meal."
In partnership with footballer David Beckham, Ramsay opened the Union Street Café in the
Southwark district of London, UK in September 2013.
The Italian cuisine of the Union Street Café, with a menu that is revolved on a daily basis,
is overseen by Chef Davide Degiovanni.
In October 2013, the Gordon Ramsay at The London restaurant in New York lost its two
Michelin stars due to issues encountered by the Michelin reviewers.
The guide's director Michael Ellis stated that he was served "some very erratic meals"
and also experienced "issues with consistency."
The loss follows the closure of another of Ramsay's restaurants in June 2013.
In January 2014, Ramsay lost a high court case in relation to the "York & Albany pub."
Ramsay claimed that his father-in-law had misused a 'ghost writing' machine to make
a personal guarantor for the £640,000 a year annual rent of that pub.
Ramsay tried to nullify the 25-year lease, signed in 2007.
The judge said that Ramsay had known from the guarantee beforehand but that he had total
trust in his father-in-law, Christopher Hutcheson, and left the deal with him.
The judge dismissed the case and ordered Ramsay to pay all legal costs and outstanding monies,
in total more than a million pounds.
Television Ramsay's first documented role in television
was in two fly-on-the-kitchen-wall documentaries: Boiling Point (1998) and Beyond Boiling Point
(2000), but had appeared previously as a judge on a masterchef-like series for young catering
students in 1997, with his then restaurant partner.
Ramsay appeared on series three of Faking It in 2001 helping the prospective chef, a
burger flipper named Ed Devlin, learn the trade.
This episode won the 2001 BAFTA for "Best Factual TV Moment."
In 2004, Ramsay appeared in two British television series.
Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares aired on Channel 4, and saw the chef troubleshooting failing
restaurants over a one-week period.
This series ran its fifth series in 2007.
Hell's Kitchen was a reality show, which aired on ITV1, and saw Ramsay attempt to train ten
British celebrities to be chefs, as they ran a restaurant on Brick Lane which opened to
the public for the two-week duration of the show.
In May 2005, the FOX network introduced Ramsay to American audiences in a US version of Hell's
Kitchen produced by Granada Entertainment and A. Smith & Co.
The show follows a similar premise as the original British series, showcasing Ramsay's
perfectionism and infamously short temper.
The show completed its 13th season in December 2014, and Fox ordered the production of three
additional seasons.[citation needed] In addition, Ramsay had also hosted a US version of Kitchen
Nightmares which premiered on Fox on 19 September 2007.
The show has now run six full seasons, with a seventh season being shown during 2014.
Ramsay at BBC Gardeners' World Live 2008 Ramsay has presented five series of a food-based
magazine programme titled The F Word; it launched on Channel 4 on 27 October 2005.
The show is organised around several key, recurring features, notably a brigade competition,
a guest cook competition, a food related investigative report and a series-long project of raising
animals to be served in the finale.
The guest cook (usually a celebrity) prepares a dish of their own choosing and places it
in competition against a similar dish submitted by Ramsay.
The dishes are judged by diners who are unaware of who cooked which dish and, if the guest
wins (as they have on numerous occasions), their dish is served at Ramsay's restaurant.
In July 2006, Channel 4 announced that it had re-signed Ramsay to an exclusive four-year
deal at the network, running until July 2011.
The series became one of the highest rated shows aired on Channel 4 each week.
During one episode of The F Word, Ramsay cooked in Doncaster Prison in Marshgate for its inmates.
The chef was so impressed by the speed at which a prisoner, Kieron Tarff, chopped vegetables
that he offered him a job at his restaurant following his release in 2007.
In 2010, Ramsay served as a producer and judge on the US version of MasterChef.
(A second season of the show began in June 2011, again starring Ramsay.)
On that same show, he was joined by culinary judges Graham Elliot and Joe Bastianich.
He starred in a travelogue about his visit to India, Gordon's Great Escape followed by
a series set in Asia.
He hosted the series Ramsay's Best Restaurant, which was the first UK series by Ramsay's
own production company, One Potato Two Potato.
Ramsay joined several other celebrity chefs in the 2010 series, The Big Fish Fight, where
he, along with fellow chef Jamie Oliver and a few others, spent time on a trawler boat
to raise awareness about the discarding of hundreds of thousands of salt water fish.
In March 2012, Fox announced the coming of Ramsay's fourth series for the Fox network,
Hotel Hell;[58] the series is similar to Kitchen Nightmares, except that it focuses on struggling
hotels, motels and other lodging establishments in the United States.
Originally slated for debut 6 April 2012 and 4 June 2012, the series debuted 13 August
2012.
In 2012, it was reported that Ramsay was to be the producer of a drama called The Inferno,
set in a New York restaurant.

In 2006, Ramsay took part in a television series for ITV, following the lead-up to Soccer
Aid, a celebrity charity football match, in which he played only the first half, nursing

Williams.
His involvement was limited after he received a four-inch cut in his calf.
During his second Top Gear appearance, he stated that his current cars are a Ferrari
F430 and a Range Rover Sport Supercharged, the latter replacing the Bentley Continental
GT he previously owned.

in which he said that he would have died from a ruptured spleen had it not have been for
another person's blood donation.
