Though the world should not be too surprised. Being a chef for between eight and 14 hours a night is probably about the best work out a person could ask for.
Moreover, Ramsay's active life of adventure continued when filming his new documentary Gordon Ramsay on Cocaine, an investigation into the drug and where it comes from, for which he travelled into the South American jungles.
On Monday at a conference in Cannes, Ramsay spoke about the use of cocaine in the chef industry, and his perception that its use was becoming 'out of control'.
I saw cocaine quite early on in my career. I've been served it. I've been given it.
I've had my hand shaken and left with little wraps of foil in it.
I've been asked to dust cocaine on top of soufflés, to put it on as icing sugar... co*ke's everywhere.
It's spiralling out of control.
Speaking about the documentary, he told the MipCom conference goers:
I've wanted to understand the 'world' of cocaine ever since I lost one of my chefs at my flagship restaurant in Chelsea and I wanted to learn why it's becoming such an epidemic not just globally but specifically in the culinary world.
Martin famously appeared on Gordon Ramsay's US TV show 24 Hours from Hell and Back, where Martin fooled diners, into thinking, he was the real Gordon Ramsay, while Gordon sat behind in disguise, to later reveal himself!
Michelin guide director Michael Ellis told Bloomberg, "We've had issues with consistency, and consistency is a huge thing for us ... we've had some very erratic meals [there]." He explained that the major two-star downgrade was a difficult decision to make but the Michelin team felt it was the right thing to do.
What is Gordon Ramsey diagnosed with? As reported by The Sun, in 2021, the celebrity chef revealed that he was diagnosed with arthritis (specifically in his knee). Ramsey, who is a fitness enthusiast had injured himself while training in London.
Ramsay's net worth isn't known, but estimates range from $220 million to $750 million. But the star chef wasn't always surrounded by the trappings of success that he enjoys today. Ramsay grew up in an abusive household and relied at times on handouts from neighbors.
Gordon Ramsay (born November 8, 1966, Johnstone, Scotland) is a Scottish chef and restaurateur known for his highly acclaimed restaurants and cookbooks but perhaps best known in the early 21st century for the profanity and fiery temper that he freely displayed on television cooking programs.
He is married to Cayetana Elizabeth Hutcheson; the couple has four children. The facial scars and weathered skin are a result of many hours of running and playing British football (known as soccer in this country) in the sun. Ramsay admits to having been in numerous fistfights in his younger days.
And according to Michelin it was the only restaurant in the history of the guide to lose two stars at once for quality issues. It turns out losing those stars is both like "losing a girlfriend" and "losing the Champions League." Ouch. I started crying when I lost my stars. It's a very emotional thing for any chef.
During the reward, Joseph managed to ruin the fun by disrespecting Ramsay, saying he was not learning anything from him and that everything he was saying meant nothing.
Amazingly, after more than two decades of yelling at people on television, Gordon Ramsay is still Gordon Ramsaying. He's committed to the same bit that now spans over 20 shows, from his early Hell's Kitchen days, through the Kitchen Nightmares and Master Chef eras, and now on Next Level Chef.
