He comes from a very poor family. His father was an alcoholic who beat him and his mother (he once poured hot tea over her and put her in hospital several times), his brother is a drug addict, he literally built an empire out of nothing.
He credits his mother as his biggest inspiration and often has her cooking in his shows.
When he left his first restaurant he pulled a successful Jerry Maguire
- the entire kitchen staff went with him. That tells you what he’s like to work with.
He was one of the first to give a restaurant to a female chef.
He went to prison (Gordon Behind Bars) and taught inmates to bake and they opened a bakery (Bad Boys Bakery) that is still running. He hired one of them when he got out.
He did documentaries about the cruelty of shark hunting and cocaine. (when he discovered cocaine was used by his staff he didn’t fire anyone but made sure they are offered treatment)
His kids are a treasure.
He is always ALWAYS kind to servers.
When one of his partners (Marcus Wareing) wanted to leave they got into a fight and settled it in court, they no longer speak to each other but this is what Marcus said about him after the fight:
I feel bad that the first association to him for a lot of people is this shouty TV chef when he’s truly a wonderful person.
never forget that the reason he’s “shouty and angry” on his tv show is that he’s yelling at people who ignore the rules of courtesy and food safety and basically feed their customers poison, something which would enrage any good person
Uncle Gordon
Gordon is precious and I love him.
I’m really glad people post stuff like this because honestly yes, the only thing I knew about Gordon Ramsey at first was that he swears like a sailor. It’s good to know that he’s a much more genuine person than that. This is probably also a good example of how television can shape our perceptions of people; TV producers are going to focus on what gets the most attention, not on what is necessarily best or most true about a person. It’s good to be mindful of that while watching reality shows and movies.
I swear people that yell about Freeze Peach have no idea what it means. If you provoke someone and then they act on that provication, then it’s on you, not them.
ALWAYS REBLOG NAZIS GETTING PUNCHED OUT
Law does not equal morality. Laws are literally made up. It was illegal to protect Jews in Germany during ww2. Thankfully, people think outside of the law sometimes.
If you’re willing to deal with the consequences Anything is Possible even punching a Nazi
reblog for 50 years of good luck
Also he is technically asaulting every non-Nazi he comes across (not battery) sense they would have a reasonable fear for bodily damage or death.
Of which him proudly displaying he is a Nazi would very much entail
Wearing the nazi symbol is pretty much universally the sign for “punch me”. It is a symbol of pure hatred and that nazi there putting up the “whoa stop” hand sign is just classic, he is blatantly wearing a symbol that stands for intolerance and cruelty, but he wants the guy to not punch him.
Should have thought of that before you put on the arm band.
this whole thread is hilarious. they break down and admit to having daddy buy the house, and then dude admits that he never bought a realty record and that they told on themselves lmfao
