His tweet read as follows – “just had confirmation that Petrus will definitely be re-opening on the 29th March- Can’t wait”

In what is clearly a monumental stuff up, the new look Gordon Ramsay website, which was announced on Twitter seems to be carrying some very old information!

Is Marcus Wareing Back at Gordon ramsay's?

The new ‘flash’ layout of the website is a little clumsy and didn’t detect my flash player initially. The new site features Angela Hartnett and most surprisingly Marcus Wareing at his old haunts Petrus and the Savoy Grill. No mention of any of the other chefs or overseas restaurants.

Time Travel? Is Marcus Wareing Back?

I can only guess that this is an old project, some of the raw data of which hasn’t been updated, although news sections are as current as www.gordonramsay.com has ever been!

Too funny

After the much publicised split with the less than grateful former protege Marcus Wareing, Gordon Ramsay will be relaunching Petrus with an all-new look, at an all-new location. November 2009 is the expected date of opening and the hot press is really talking up the new venue.

Mark Askew will be running the show as Executive Chef and Jean-Philippe Susilovic of Hell’s Kitchen fame will be the restaurant director. Now they are looking for a talented crew to support the ever expanding Gordon Ramsay empire.

As advertised on the Official Gordon Ramsay website – they are looking for people to fill the following positions;

Restaurant Manager
Chefs at all levels
Sommeliers
Head Waiter
Chef de Rang
Commis Waiting staff
Receptionists

Application forms can be found at the Gordon Ramsay website – here is the direct link.

In fact the website also has a search engine which advertises job vacancies throughout the entire Gordon Ramsay empire, inlcuding head office jobs. At the time of writing there were also position available as Sous Chef in Versailles, a Chef de Partie an as well as a Sommelier in Central London plus Sous Chef positions in London and Heathrow.

Here is the link to find all of the position vacant – http://www.candidatemanager.net/CM/micro/searchform.aspx?mid=YUAZD&SCH=DWCX

The website (for those who are total unaware of why Gordon Ramsay is as passionate and demanding as he is) gives the following introduction to working for Gordon Ramsay Holdings;
