Gordon Ramsay is about to embark on a nationwide tour of Australia, making an unprecidented number of appearances and no doubt dropping an equal number of swear words during live media interviews over the next month! Gordon ramsay headlines both the Sydney and Melbourne Food and Wine Festivals, where organisers will be slugging Gordon Ramsay fans an extra fee to see the great chef demonstrate his cooking skills! VIP packages with less than current Gordon Ramsay cookbooks will also be part of VIP packages cost around $100!

Other events that Chef Ramsay be appearing at are chairy and celebratory dinners in Sanctuary Cove, Queensland and Perth, Western Australia – which will cost even more to secure, but will get you food cooked (or at least designed and supervised) by the internationally renowned master.

We know that Gordon Ramsay is coming to Australia for the Good Food and Wine shows in Sydney and Melbourne. Plus there are those rumours of a possible Hell’s Kitchen being filmed here in conjunction with the new Gordon Ramsay Maze Restaurant in Melbourne scheduled for Februaru 2010.

Now we know that Gordon Ramsay has been invited to help Sanctuary Cove celebrate their 21st birthday on the Gold Coast and will be responsible for series of lunches and dinners at the Hyatt Regency.

According to several reports tickets will go on sale for exclusive cocktail parties and a number of three course Gordon Ramsay signature dishes. The events are scheduled for June, so it will probably be in conjunction with the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival where he is appearing June 5-8 (the Sydney one is a month later and I don’t assume that he is staying a month!).

Tickets for both Good Food and Wine Festivals go on sale February 2. Adult tickets are $27.50 and children (6 – 16yrs) are $20.50. Concession and Groups of 10 or more can slip in for $22.50 – and of course, just like when you visit your bank, there is a surcharge on top of this. But this doesn’t get you in to see the great man!

Tickets to see Gordon Ramsay in the LG Celebrity Theatre are an additional $20.00 on top of your entry fee, all of the other chefs are included in your entry fee!

In an effort to fully cash in on what is probably a hefty appearance fee there is also a Ramsay Pass available. $100 will get you entry to the show, a premium seat to see Gordon Ramsay in the LG Celebrity Theatre presented by LifeStyle FOOD Channel, Gordon Ramsay Cookbook, Good Food & Wine Show Canvas Bag and a Food Magazine.

The dates and opening times for the Melbourne show are;
Friday 5 June – 12pm – 9pm
Saturday 6 June – 9am – 6pm
Sunday 7 June – 9am – 6pm
Monday 8 June – 9am – 5pm

The dates and opening time for the Sydney show are;
Friday 3 July – 9am – 4:30pm (Daytime session)
Friday 3 July – 5:30pm – 9:30pm (‘After Dark’ session)
Saturday 4 July – 9am – 6pm
Sunday 5 July – 9am – 5pm

We’ll bring you information on the event in Queensland as soon as it becomes available.
