There's nothing new. I think that's the weird thing for me. Over the last couple of months, the keep-fit shows, and then at the end of it you get to lose weight and one of you is going to win a million dollars - that's not real. In many ways, even 10 years ago that wouldn't have worked.

Very few restaurants do five services a day - breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, cocktail, theatre and dinner - and because of that we can offer something for everyone.
Gordon Ramsay
Image
I think pressure's healthy, and very few can handle it.

Making pasta, cooking pasta and baking bread are two essential ideas to create a little bit of excitement, and you learn the basic, and then evolve it. Flavor the bread, flavor the pasta, go to a fish, go to a meat sauce and take it to another level.

The level of jealousy and insecurity in this industry [restaurant] is far greater than ever before.

Image
I train my chefs completely different to anyone else. My young girls and guys, when they come to the kitchen, the first thing they get is a blindfold. They get blindfolded and they get sat down at the chef's table... Unless they can identify what they're tasting, they don't get to cook it.

I hate it when people just downright copy. I hate it.

Image
There are very few chefs both in Britain and the States that really identify the secret of being consistent. And combine consistency with flavor.

We're fragile, fragmented souls who are very sensitive to criticism.

Would I swap what I have achieved as a cook if I could have been as successful as a footballer? Definitely.

Image
I'm not trying to take New York by storm. I just want to sneak in there, keep my head down, batten down the hatches and cook.
Gordon Ramsay
Image
If you become a chef because you're obsessed by becoming a celebrity, getting my ass kicked and working my nuts off the way I did in France and getting pushed around those kitchens wasn't about becoming famous.
Gordon Ramsay
Image
Focus on your customers and make that restaurant synonymous to where you are in terms of area.
Gordon Ramsay
Image
I grew up in a funny way.
Gordon Ramsay
Image
I've never been a hands-on dad. I'm not ashamed to admit it, but you can't run a restaurant and be home for tea at 4:30 and bath and change nappies.
Gordon Ramsay

If you think customers are impatient in New York, wait to you see how impatient they are here in L.A.

Two key ingredients in any successful chef: a quick learner and someone with a sharp brain.

Growing up in Britain, we didn't have much, worked for everything. To leave food on the plate, Mom classed it as being rude and so we ate because we were hungry, not ate because we had a choice in the fridge.

Image
[My kids] don't need to cook to keep me happy. It's my job as dad to create opportunities so that they can find their passion. Forget about money, find what you really want to do with your life.

Chefs don't do ponytails and we shouldn't do them because I guarantee that whenever there's a discovery of hair in the food, it's guaranteed it's from the chef's ponytail.
