That’s right Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver will be head to head in a much promoted stoush and it will be televised! Others big name foodies are also involved in the melee, including Hugh Fernley-Wernley and Heston Blumenthal.

The battle is of course the Great British Food Fight – to be seen over a two week period on Channel 4 in the UK. Rumours are that the show will be on late this month, although there is nothing confirmed on the Channel 4 website.

Here is the fantastic trailer that Channel 4 have put out, and it has been uploaded – just to tease everyone the world over. It is a very funny ad. Check it out!

Apparently Gordon Ramsay ‘s contribution will be a show called Gordon Ramsay’s Great British Nightmare and will feature one of the restaurants that is the subject of an upcoming Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares episode. The focus will be on encouraging patronage of local restaurants (I thought he wanted us back in the kitchen???) and tips or restaurants on how to be the current financial gloom and doom.

Ding, Ding – bring on Gordon Ramsay (and the other three as well!)

For the second time in as many years, reports are that Gordon Ramsay will be again involved in the Great British Food Fight.

The Channel 4 show from the UK will continue following the “eat ethically’ theme and will again feature Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Jamie Oliver alongside Gordon Ramsay as well as the newest recruit -Heston Blumenthal.

Gordon Ramsay’s contribution will be a call for Brits to start patronising local restaurants. Gordon will also be bringing his restaurant running experience to the aid of local eateries who are struggling with the current economic client. Unfortunately, it won’t be in time to save one of his Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares’ restaurants who have already succombed. See Another Gordon Ramsay lover Goes Under for the details on that one!

Gordon Ramsay also Has another new showing coming in 2009 Ramsay’s Great British Nightmare, which sounds like it has a similar theme to his contribution to the aforementioned show. It may even be part of the show, the reports on the web and the Channel 4 site are a little confusing.

For a full wrap of the program and how the four star chefs will be contributing, go to the source – Channel 4 at their website.

The show airs in January and will no doubt be hitting the torrents and youtube shortly after, so the rest of the planet can enjoy it!
