Ramsay and his wife, Tana, have a foundation (The Gordon and Tana Ramsay Foundation) that partners with a UK children’s hospital to raise money for thousands of patients.

By the time he was 27, Ramsay became the head chef of a restaurant in England called Aubergine, where he led the restaurant to earn two Michelin stars in three years.

He thinks the five things everyone should know how to cook are burgers, poached eggs, beef short ribs, sautéed chicken, and brownies.

Ramsay’s biggest food allergies are to these three four words: “gluten free”, “paleo”, and “vegan”.

If he could cook dinner for one celebrity, it would be Hillary Clinton. He’d make something authentic and rich, like braised short rib doused with red wine. Um, I’d like in on that dinner, please…

The chef Ramsay looks up to is Michael Voltaggio of ink.well.

The one culinary trend he wishes would die a slow and painful death?…FOAMS.

His favorite midnight snack is grilled Sourdough bread, topped with baked beans, Chili flakes, garlic, Tabasco sauce, and a duck egg. That’s quite the effort there, Ramsay!

Ramsay does not watch his own TV shows out of fear of watching himself screw up or say something stupid. “I’d rather watch Deadliest Catch or go out for dinner,” he said.

If he was granted a last meal, it would be a pan-fried sea bass with a light sorrel sauce (a cream sauce with sorrel or spinach, white wine, shallots and lime juice).

Not surprisingly, he’s one of the wealthiest celebrity chefs in the world, ranking in about $60 million a year according to Forbes magazine.

Ramsay is fluent in French.
