Question 1

Gordon Ramsay is from Scotland and is one of the most famous celebrity chefs in the world. He has many food or food related T.V. shows such as Hell's Kitchen and Master Chef. He generally cooks European cuisine. He has been successful as a Michelin Stared chef, owner of many restaurants and star of many shows.

Question 2

Yes, he gets so angry that he makes me laugh a lot when I watch his shows.

Question 3

I would eat at Gordon Ramsay's restaurant at the Savoy in London. I have never eaten food prepared by a three-star Michelin Star chef.

Question 4

I grew up in rural New Zealand where food is very basic. Just meat and potato dishes.

Question 5

I think I do alright in the kitchen. I learned how to cook because my mother is such a terrible cook. I knew there was good food somewhere in the world as I had seen it on T.V.

Question 6

I think a fish and chip takeaway would be great in Japan. Nothing too fancy, something that is simple and tasty.

    Just yesterday, I watched Gordon Ramsey’s appearance on the youtube series Hot Ones. On that show, celebrity guests answer questions while eating a series of increasingly hot and spicy chicken wings. Exactly as you said, Gordon Ramsey got so angry (while eating the hottest wings) that he made me laugh.
