Ramsay's Revelations

With the publication of Gordon Ramsay’s new autobiography, Humble Pie, a spate of revelations about the celebrity chef have recently emerged. Maybe too many.

In the book, Ramsay reveals that he paid for heroin for his drug-addicted brother and contemplates the source of his infamous kitchen rage. What’s more, following Humble Pie’s publication, a secret sister has come out of the woodwork (she has a temper, too, by the way).

But now comes another revelation, which may just surpass the T.M.I. tipping point. London’s Daily Mirror reports that Ramsay’s first restaurant, Aubergine, was named not for the vegetable, but for, well, the angle of his dangle:

Quaffing champagne in London’s Claridge’s Hotel, Gord, 39, told us: “It’s because my nether regions always hang to the left, like an aubergine.”

And I thought that the sight of a screaming Gordon Ramsey smashing a plate of food into the chest of an actor pretending to be an aspiring cook on "Hell's Kitchen" was the ugly image that I would never be able to get out of my head. Real class, Gordon. Real class.

I suppose Ramsey should feel good that he didn't have to name his restaurant "Raisin."

Smart guy (for an englishman). He is doing it the American way. Make a name, sell a book, make lots of money and laugh all the way to the bank. If Anthony can, Gorden can too. Cheers.
