Burn on Gordon Ramsay

I really like Gordon Ramsay's two shows on BBC America.... the F Word and Kitchen Nightmares (the American version on FOX is ok, but the BBC version is better... trend?). These were staples on the DVR at my house this year and are pretty entertaining.

But bollocks... according to Restaurant Magazine's new rankings of the top 50 restaurants, his are falling. Tom Colicchio lost his Michelin star at Craft after a couple years on TV. But its not like either of those guys work themselves at those restaurants anyways... they hire executive chefs. There definitely seems to be annoyance with those chefs who become TV stars... everyone hates Bobby Flay and Rachel Ray. I used to dislike Tyler Florence. He was that obnoxious guy on the TGI Fridays commercials. Then I tried several of his recipes and they were really good.

I'll just have to go to one of Gordon's restaurants to try it myself :)
