Here is an article that talks about the legendary British Hotel ‘The Savoy’ and the only part of it in which makes it news here – Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant – The Savoy Grill.

Apparently they are dropping over £100 million on refurbishments of the over 120 year old establishment, reports claim that the Savoy Grill was once regarded as London’s power-broking lunch destination par excellence. A quote from the article accredits Gordon Ramsay as saying that he is relaxed about the delay but the grill was one of Gordon Ramsay Holdings biggest money spinners and the reopening cannot come a moment too soon.

Most of the interview discusses the Hotel with only a few lines dedicated to Gordon Ramsay and the Savoy Grill – check it out here http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/lifestyle/article-23802696-will-the-savoy-ever-regain-its-long-lost-glamour.do

This latest campaign (which we would assume was recorded before the scandal) features Gordon and Family around a Christmas tree, stating their Christmas shopping list. The full 30 second ad appears on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5GohC-GpL4), on the ‘Taste of Christmas’ account page.

More information on the live cooking event, being held in London on December 4-7 can be found at www.tasteofchristmas.com

It seems that there is still nothing official from the Gordon Ramsay Camp on the scandal, short of the soundbites taken from various other live cooking performances, including the Gordon Ramsay: Cookalong live television show. The Story According to Gordon (Ramsay) – Well, sort of …. (http://www.theplonkerclub.com/wordpress/9/the-story-according-to-gordon-ramsay-%e2%80%93-well-sort-of-%e2%80%a6/) summarises the best of ‘unofficial’ response!
