Super cook Gordon Ramsay, the host of "Hell's Kitchen" and "Kitchen Nightmares" who dishes out profanity-laced (but accurate) criticism on wannabe chefs, will be opening his first U.S. restaurant, Gordon Ramsay at The London in NYC this fall. "New York is the proving ground. It's, 'Who's got the biggest balls?"' he said. "I haven't had a proper night's sleep ever since signing the deal. This is [bleep]ing huge for me, this one."
Ramsay also vows not to be distracted by his hit reality show, a la Rocco DiSpirito. "I'm going to keep my head down, shut the [bleep] up and let my food do the talking."
" What I'm not doing is coming in for two weeks, shaking hands with everybody, ass-kissing and then disappearing."
He is also is boiling mad at Chicago-based superchef Charlie Trotter because he once dared to criticize Ramsay's famously volcanic temper. "I've been in [Trotter's] kitchen, and he goes all queeny when he gets p--d off," Ramsay snarls to W magazine. "And I've never seen a chef with such a big entourage. Let me run my kitchen the way I run my kitchen."
