Gordon Ramsay vs Mario Batali – in his own words
Author: Gordon Ramsay Unofficial Fansite // Category: Main Content
The internet has been awash with stories about Gordon Ramsay being banned from Mario Batali’s restaurants and a host of other claims, in a recent interview Gordon Ramsay addresses these claims directly!
The Question was asked of Gordon Ramsay “What about the reported feud with Mario Batali. Has he really banned you from all of his restaurants?”
Chef Gordon Ramsay responded in the following manner: “It’s really sad, I’ve never met Mario Batali. Obviously the man’s a very talented chef. There was a statement last year about me cooking 1980s dated food.
Well, I’m really sorry, I had dinner with Bill Berfus from The New Yorker and for an interview a couple of years ago and the food was embarrassing. So, Bill got upset and sent the food back, it was sea bass, because it was off.
So, I wouldn’t send any chef an off sea bass, but today I respect him, he’s an amazing chef, but as far as I’m concerned I haven’t been banned from his restaurants. But listen, at the end of the day we’re all in this looking for the same customer. So, Christ, if we can’t get on, what’s the big deal? But I don’t have any problem with Mario Batali.”
