I've entertained the idea that Gordon Ramsay, the irascible Scottish chef who stars in the FOX reality cooking shows Kitchen Nightmares and Hells Kitchen, only acts like a total ass for television. Okay so I haven't really given it much thought.But his actions on, of all days, Valentine's Day laid to rest any doubts I had about his douchiness.
According to Gawker, couples dining at the restaurant Hannah and Mason's in Cranbury, NJ were told to get out, mid-bite, so Ramsay and crew could finish taping a show! Others had their reservations canceled.
You just don't F with peoples' obligatory day of love!
A FOX issued statement reads: "Both production and the managers of Hannah and Mason's Restaurant, agreed that it was in the best interest of the customers to close the kitchen down last night."
Awww, how utilitarian of them.
If it makes you feel any better, here's a clip of Ramsay getting what he deserves.
Amid all the douchery, I will say that I saw Ramsay on a British reality show, Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, where he acted quite nice and gave helpful advice to owners of ailing restaurants.
But Valentine's Day?

I love Hell's Kitchen! BTW Ramsay is a Brit, not Scot.
Britain = England, Wales, Northern Ireland and..... SCOTLAND!!!! Ramsay is both a 'Brit' and Scottish. (BTW). I'd also say that if you need help so badly as a business that you have to resort to reality TV for help, then there are worse people to ask than Gordon Ramsay. Arsehole he may be, but as a chef I'd give my right arm for 5 minutes in a kitchen with him. These people should learn that he he has earnt the right to be up his own arse. If they ever crawled out of theirs, they might just see that.
