Gordon James Ramsay OBE (born November 8, 1966 in Johnstone, Scotland) is a Scottish celebrity chef and currently one of only three chefs in the UK whose restaurant is rated at three Michelin stars. He has been awarded a total of ten Michelin stars. He is famoates as the host of Fox's Hell's Kitchen, which debuted in May 2005.

Ramsay's first foray in television was in two fly-on-the-kitchen-wall documentaries: Boiling Point (1998) and Beyond Boiling Point (2000).

In 2004, Ramsay appeared in two British television series. Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares aired on Channel 4, and saw the chef troubleshooting failing restaurants over a two-week period. This series ran its third season in 2006. Hell's Kitchen was a reality show, which aired on ITV1, and saw Ramsay attempt to train ten British celebrities to be chefs, as they ran a restaurant on Brick Lane which opened to the public for the two-week duration of the show.

In May of 2005, the FOX network introduced Ramsay to American audiences in an all-new edition of Hell's Kitchen produced by Granada Entertainment and A. Smith & Co. The show follows a similar premise as the original British series, showcasing Ramsay's perfectionism and infamous short temper. The show proved to be popular enore judged by blindfolded diners and, if the guest wins (as they did on several occasions), their dish is plated at Ramsay's restaurant. During the second series of The F-Word, Ramsay named the two pigs that he was raising after Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine.[11] In July 2006, Channel 4 announced that it had re-signed Ramsay to an exclusive four-year deal at the network, running until July 2011.[12] During the third series, Ramsay is rearing lambs that have been selected from a farm from North Wales and has named them after two Welsh celebrities Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson.
