Gordon Ramsay
Restaurateur • Personality • Host
Birth Name: Gordon James Ramsay
Birth Date: November 8, 1966
Age: 58 years old
Birth Place: Glasgow, Scotland, UK
Children: Holly Ramsay, Tilly Ramsay
The fiery temper that decorated Gordon Ramsay's public life is something that had always been with him since he grew up in Scotland in the 1960s. He grew up moving a lot, mostly due to family struggles. He took to playing football as a teenager, though injuries derailed any hope of that being his career.
Eventually, he more or less fell into cooking and catering, working at a multiple of restaurants and venues throughout the late '80s. He took his first head chef role at La Tante Claire in London in 1993, though that didn't last long as he quickly was poached to lead the opening of another restaurant Aubergine. Business conflict led to Ramsay leaving Aubergine in 1998, where he then took over La Tante Claire's original location to open his first flagship Restaurant Gordon Ramsay. That led right into his first major television appearances with a pair of documentary series, "Ramsay's Boiling Point" (ITV 1999) and "Gordon Ramsay: Beyond Boiling Point" (2000).
A few years later, he would more deliberately enter the world of reality television after guest-hosting a few episodes of "Masterchef" (BBC 1990-2001) with "Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares" (Channel 4 2004-2014) and "Hell's Kitchen" (ITV 2004-09). However, a contractual issue limited Ramsay to only appear in the debut season of the ITV version of "Hell's Kitchen," but he was able to take the show overseas and continue hosting in America with "Hell's Kitchen" (Fox 2005- ). To match, Ramsay also hosted an American version of "Kitchen Nightmares" (Fox 2007-2014). He worked with Fox to create more shows as well, including "Hotel Hell" (Fox 2012-16) and "Gordon Ramsay's 24 Hours to Hell and Back" (Fox 2018- ).
While hosting the wide variety of shows, Ramsay more readily entered the pop culture world, leading to guest appearances often making light of his angry and temperamental television persona in shows such as "The Simpsons" (Fox 1989- ) and "New Girl" (Fox 2011-18).
