A Current Affair showed how trashy their reporting really is in the latest Gordon Ramsay Video Clip – you couldn’t even call it journalism. Gordon Ramsay insults a weather person for getting the weather wrong – and A Current Affair try to take the high ground saying that he insults women – give me a break – this is an ambulance chasing, two bit television show that no one considers real journalism – just sensationalist garbage.

Why was no one defending Suzanne Boyle when Gordon Ramsay sledged her?

Why was no one answering Gordon Ramsay’s claim that he didn’t call her a lesbian?

No mention of one of the other clips from the Good Food and Wine Festival where Gordon Ramsay says he is love with Tracey Grimshaw and has been for years – (that comment doesn’t fit with the other cheery-picked one demonising Gordon and pitting him against Tracey Grimshaw!)

And that stupid woman from Channel Seven’s Today Tonight chasing Gordon Ramsay looking for a controversial quote – “What are you going to call me?” – paparatzi gone mad! They stoop even lower by digging up the alledged mistress and asking her what she thinks – she thinks she wants to be in front of the camera again (and now it turns out she is launching a business and website)!

Here’s the video clip – vintage A Current Affair – with Tracey at the helm

And the dreadful Today Tonight clip

People say that they are embarassed for Tracey, I’m embarrassed for Gordon Ramsay that the Australian media now seems more like British tabloids!

I reported a few days ago that several session of Gordon Ramsay at the Good Food and Wine Show were sold out. I now know that this wasn’t the case – but I thought I had it from a good source – the ticket vendors themselves – Ticketek!

Now I have tickets to an earlier show that will be a pain in the ass to get to, because of some kind of stuff up. If you spent anytime online trying to order, with no success you may have had the same problem that I did. There is a section that says something to the effect of enter your promotional code – if you don’t put your customer number in (despiet being logged in) – you won’t be able to proceed!

I also found it annoying that there was no mention on the Tictek website of the Good Food and Wine Show nor Gordon Ramsay, the day before, searches just came up blank!

Anyway, tickets are unlikely to sell out soon for Gordon Ramsay’s cooking demonstrations since the organisers have a new 2 500 seat theatre (I feel sorry for the opther chefs who are trying to fill it!

As the promoters said “Gordon was such a massive hit at last year’s Sydney show, we thought it only fitting that we bring him back to give Sydneysiders another chance to see him and give Melbourne a piece of the pie too,” said James Laing, exhibition director.

If there was another way to get tickets, believe me I would be recommending it! Here’s what you will see at the Sydney and Melbourne Good Food and Win shows – remember everything is included in your tickets price EXCEPT seeing Gordon Ramsay’s cooking demonstration.

The site also says that “Book Signing – Chefs appearing in the Celebrity Theatre will be signing their books in the Book Store located near the Theatre for approximately 30mins after each of their sessions. ” Since the line for Gordon Ramsay last year was over an hourn long – you might want to line up one show before or after the one you plan on attending.

Tickets went on sale this morning for Gordon Ramsay at the Melbourne and Sydney Good Food and Wine Festival. Standard tickets will get entry to everything but the Gordon Ramsay 30 min demonstration – that will cost you $20 extra.

But for the dedicated fan there is an Gordon Ramsay VIP Package called a Ramsay Pass for $80 which gets you a cookbook and premium seating (Can you believe they are giving away ‘Healthy Appetites’ – they were selling it when he was here last year – there’s been one new cookbook since then (Gordon Ramsay Cooking for Friends) and Great British Pub Food will also be out by then).

I tried to log on and get VIP tickets at half and hour after they went on sale and two out of the eleven sessions had already sold out in Sydney. I ended up getting okay seats on another day. Who knows what is available now.

Get over to Ticketek and get your seats now!
