Only hours after tweeting the following message at the start of the LA Marathon “about to start LA marathon. 1000s of people, fucking amazing. warm up for london” (via @gordonramsay01) we get the following unfortunate message “damn, had to stop at 15 miles, just felt my calf muscle go. massive well done to everyone who got round”.
I feel a competition coming on – how about listing the best Gordon Ramsay quote from Hell’s Kitchen or Kitchen Nightmares that can be applied to his injured calf!
Here’s my first two attempts off the top of my head -
my calf, it’s fuckin raw!
That just looks like a pile of …….
you can’t run with that, it’s fuckin stone cold!
Do you think Gordon’s calf didn’t have enough prep time, or was it just overdone – comment below!

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.
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.
