“The secret is to make sure the business is running to Perfection, with or without me” —Gordon Ramsay
Gordon Ramsay, famous UK celebrity chef, born on November 8th, 1966 in Scotland and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. Ramsay had played soccer all through his early life in high school.

He then moved to France in order to learn classic French cuisine after his graduation. (baversa123, student mode, Apr 2012) Being trained with some world-class chef in Paris for 3 years, Ramsay had learned enough knowledge as much as he could get. After that, he took 1 year to work on a private yacht based in Bermuda as a personal chef. After heading back to London, he worked as a head chef at Aubergine. In 1998, Ramsay opened his own restaurant “Gordon Ramsay” which then quickly received three Michelin stars. He has been awarded total 15 Michelin stars so far. Ramsay is well known for presenting TV programs. His competitive cookery show such as the British series Hell’s Kitchen, Master Chef, Hotel Hell appeared to be a huge success. (Times London.2010) In terms of Gordon Ramsay, he is all about perfection. It is obviously that Ramsay is not only a fantastic chef but also an equally engaging showman. Famed for his bad temper and swearing, Ramsay had set himself up as a real figure in food television world. You either love him or you hate him. He is the one who truly inspired me and had great influence on my choice of career path.
Ramsay has huge influence on society. He built up his reputation by his goal of culinary perfection. He once was named as the most influential person in the UK hospitality industry. Not only Michelin 3 Star reward made him famous, it is no doubt that his “management technique” made him famous. Ramsay had published different kinds of cooking

    Oliver has a very relaxed and informal approach to communicate with his audience that features the use of colloquial language, which makes his show more inviting and makes the audience think of him as a friend rather than a TV cook which builds trust- and viewers. There is a strong display of sociolect in his show ‘Jamie Cooks Summer’ as he uses colloquial words and phrases like ‘coupla’’, ‘chop ‘em up’ and ‘seal it wi’ cling film’ which is a mimic of the kind of language the average middle class or working class British person would use in everyday life. This adaptation of his lexis is called the ‘accommodation theory’ and is used to gain acceptance of an audience, hence it is a good technique to gain viewers and make money- which is one of the purposes of a cooking show.…

    The United States government is in some serious trouble according to John Oliver. He stated that the United States congress would be “the least productive in history this year”. Which is kind of a scary thing since they control what laws will be passed and newly enforced in our country. So what I’m saying is that our congress is going to shit basically. All of this is happening because all the congressmen are disagreeing with each other and no progress is being done. Without the Congress functioning fully I do not know how our country is going to stay the way it is.…

Beard was well known for bringing French cuisine to the American middle and upper class population, and being the first to bring cooking to television. Julia Childs once described James “Beard was the quintessential American cook. Well-educated and well-traveled during his eighty-two years, he was familiar with many cuisines but he remained fundamentally American. He was a big man, over six feet tall, with a big belly, and huge hands. An endearing and always lively teacher, he loved people, loved his work, loved gossip, loved to eat, loved a good time.” This is what made him so renowned in the field of cooking, his love, passion, and willingness to learn as much as possible about culinary arts. James Beard will forever be in history though his 20 books, numerous writings, his personal foundation and the many awards and scholarships that go out named after him…
