Re: Gordon Ramsay
I was left incredulous watching the A Current Affair team last night using their own programme as a vehicle for retaliating to Gordon Ramsay's tirade of abuse against Tracey Grimshaw. Obviously, it was uncalled for but did they really have to use valuable airtime (an abuse in my mind) so that Tracey Grimshaw could effectively say "I'll scweaam and scweaam and sceaam until I'm sick!!" to Gordan Ramsay? She came across like a pathetic schoolgirl dobbing in to teacher.
A little thicker skin is required if you ask me? Talk about taking it badly?

Channel Nine news in Sydney last night actually reported on this little spat as their lead item. Like it was the most important bit of news that occurred that day
.I seriously began to consider that it must be more important than I'd originally thought - they were reporting it as if it was some major diplomatic incident - the way they gave it such a priority. Eventually I realised that it was just a bit of typical C9 cross-promotion.
Thankfully ABC news an hour later didn't mention it once.

I think it was worse than that.

Re: Gordon Ramsay
l would'nt be suprised i they both met a couple of weeks ago and planned or staged the whole thing, before this happened few people even knew Gordon Ramsay was in Melbourne and opening a restraunt there , now just about everyone knows, Also A Current Affairs ratings have shot through the roof, both sides have gained millions in free publicity.

If he gets on the wrong side of the Australian public, and we must remember that Tracy Grimshaw is very popular here, he may not attract as many customers as he hopes, unless he is going for British customers.

From what I have heard, he may not have got 'good' publicity from this. He needs this restaurant to work.

People will go just so they can abuse him. Then they'll discover he's not there but back in the UK or in the States, eat the food and realise he can cook and so can his staff and have a good meal.

Re: Gordon Ramsay
Finally, a really decent restaurant opening in Australia. This is going to set the future benchmark for gastronomy in this country.

I didn't even see it myself, but was asked what it was all about.
I'm still not sure

Re: Gordon Ramsay
Oh well, there we go. He's apologised now - a quick patch up job that should bring people back to their senses.
