‘Being Gordon Ramsay’: Netflix Bets On A Softer Side Of TV’s Loudest Chef
- On February 18, Netflix releases Being Gordon Ramsay, a six-episode documentary series following Gordon Ramsay, chef and TV personality, balancing five culinary openings at 22 Bishopsgate, London, and family life.
- Seeking a raw account, Ramsay says the project was about ripping off the Band-Aids and he called Bishopsgate an ambitious opportunity he did not want to let slip, explaining his motivation to document the process.
- Balancing family and launch duties, Gordon Ramsay’s Bishopsgate staff need guidance while wife Tana laments six-week absences and son Oscar eagerly anticipates reunions; Michael Howells and project manager Terry stand out as staff celebrate the complex opening.
- Critics said the series depletes some of Ramsay's star power by turning him into a mascot, leaving viewers with an uneasy sense he is spread too thin.
- Given Ramsay's global restaurant footprint, he hints at opening a New York restaurant shortly after Bishopsgate, as his group operates more than 90 restaurants with 17 Michelin stars and reaches 48 languages across 120 countries.
