In the latest edition of ‘Restaurant Magazine’ in the UK, former right hand man Mark Sargeant is featured on the cover and talks about, among other things how he cried when telling his mentor that he was leaving Gordon Ramsay Holdings.

“Sarge” as he is affectionately called was quoted as saying “It was the hardest decision of my life, like getting divorced,” when discussing his agony over leaving the company with which he made his name after thirteen years of loyal service. He stepped down from Gordon Ramsay at Claridges early last year and then broke all ties in November, although he denies that it was on bad terms.

The teaser article, which you can find by clicking here, also says that he talks about Gordon Ramsay’s temper (what more is there to say?) and the pressure of opening at Claridges amongst many other things

I’ll have to ‘go to the videotape’ but I’m fairly certain that Sarge was one of the two chefs being blasted and matched against each other one one of Gordon’s first television shows (which aired last millenium!) – Gordon Ramsay’s Boiling Point.
