At the recent Golden Globe held at Gordon Ramsay at The London in West Hollywood, several sources are reporting that Gordon Ramsay will no longer pose for photos as a direct result of Sarah Symonds’ allegation of affairs that were levelled last year.

Maybe this just applies to one on one photos with women, and one reporter said that Gordon Ramsay pulled him into a photo with a fan – having the reporter standing between them.

The Daily Mail reporter states that Gordon Ramsay said to him “I’m not getting burnt again!”. He later clarified his position by stating that “As long as there’s a gap, they can’t take the photograph and say: “Oh look! Here I am with Gordon Ramsay. We had a fling!”

Gordon Ramsay was also reported to have to have once again denied the allegations of an affair. The Daily Mail again quotes Gordon Ramsay as saying “‘It never happened! It was completely made up,’ Ramsay insisted to me.
‘She set it up to make some money. I heard how she told her friends to “watch out” for a big story concerning her and the big story was her claims that we had an affair.
Not true! Not true for a minute!’ he told me as he greeted guests arriving for supper at the London.”

These comments are slightly more candid than the public (and extremely funny) rebuttals Gordon Ramsay produced at several cooking shows in the days after the story first broke last year.

That story can be viewed in the Plonker Club Archives, specifically in the blog section with the story ” The Story According to Gordon (Ramsay) – Well, sort of ….”

Throughout November and December, it was only our friends form the UK that could take up this amazing offer of seven one hour cooking lessons with Gordon Ramsay – courtesy of Channel 4 in the UK. Now, many others are taking up the call to get back into the Kitchen via the Channel 4 Website (and the odd proxy server) or by other means.

Although the rest of use don’t have to feel the pace and pressure of live television, the cooking lessons (and preliminary lessons in preparation) really are excellent. This series is something I would be happy to pay good money for and I only hope my local foodie channel pick up this series. I really don’t think anything is lost by not having this screening live – so here is a teaser – to show you exactly what was offered each week – seven three course dinners, twenty one dishes plus lots of Gordon Ramsay intensity, passion and entertainment!

Enjoy

Here is the third video in the now infamous ‘Little Gordon Ramsay’ video series. It is put out by caterer.com and now almost defines viral marketing!

When I accessed it just prior to posting this blog, it was just over a thousand hits shy of 400 000. Not bad considering the first and second ones have over 720 000 and 550 000 respectively.

So here it is, in my opinion not quite as good as the first two, probably because the shock value has subsided a little, but good none the less!
