Gordon Ramsay Sued for $41,000 Unpaid Wine Bill
Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is being sued for ordering $41,000 of wine to his New York City restaurant and "never having any intention of paying for the bottles," the UK's
Daily Telegraph reports.
Wineberry America is behind the lawsuit, claiming the 'Hell's Kitchen' and 'Kitchen Nightmares' star ordered wine to his recently sold NYC restaurant, The London, from 2007 to 2009. Over time, the hotheaded chef stopped paying, the case alleges.
"We are in the process of working through any outstanding claims in regard to The London NYC and bills will be paid in due course," a Ramsay spokesperson told the Daily Telegraph.
Read on to hear the diss Ramsay's celeb chef nemesis Jamie Oliver piled onto the news.
In curiously apt timing with the lawsuit news, former 'Naked Chef' host Jamie Oliver spiced up the allegations with a bit of smack talk, saying, "Men big everything up non-stop, but women tell you the truth. If I was to choose between Gordon Ramsay's cookbook or [wife] Tana Ramsay's, it would be Tana's every time. In my opinion, her books are a damn sight better than his,"
Monsters and Critics reports.
The site recalls Ramsay calling the star of 'Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution' a "one-pot wonder" and also notes Ramsay's claim that the last time he complained about food in a restaurant was at an Oliver-run establishment.

Why, on the Snap Poll are the only two choices "missing Kate" and "didn't watch the show anyway"? Most of us love the show and couldn't wait for her to leave. I, personally, will miss Pam Anderson more. She looks a heck of a lot better than Kate, and could actually dance.

I agree with the snap poll part, but would have much rather seen Kate not being able too dance as too watch Pam do a strip tease porn kind of dancing. Dont matter much anyway. They knew Nichole and Derrick would win when they paired them together
Difference between me & Ramsey is I pay my bills....Alfred-
i dont think he should have to pay. the man is a star.
seriously, they delivered wine for 2 years without getting paid
if thats the case wineberry of americas' corporate officers should pay for being so damn stupid.
give me a break

Seriously, if he didn't pay his bill after 30 days, and not a rebill after 45 days, DON'T KEEP DELIVERING MORE WINE. They should have suspended delivery until he was paid in full.
i totally agree with you. if those people deliver the wine for that long but don't get any money, its their fault that their so stupid, not Gordon's. Gimme a break.
I do not like this man, I never will like this man. He is so rude, and plain nasty to people. Theres never any need for the way he treats others. He acts as if cooking is a life or death thing. I used to work in a few resturants when I was younger. There was never any screaming or acting like we saved lives every minute.
I would just LOVE to see this guy work in a real job. (I know cooking is not easy) But it would be fun to have him on tv, on a constuction site. Even let him be a supervisor, while concrete is being poured. I bet he would have a heart attack if he really worked for a living. I feel sorry for his wife, if he has one.

Are you kidding me? Gordan Ramsey love him or hate him is one of the best most hardworking people in the business! Geez... The man travels around the world doing multiple cooking shows non stop!.. He is not immune to the economy like anyone else. He has multiple restaurants and many different shows... I am sure this is an over sight. And Oliver is a wuss. People don't like Ramsey because he speaks the TRUTH! Get over it..
Donna!!!!! That is a real job!!!! Not Hanna Barftanna or the He-She housewife shows you watch or obviosly are.......Jerk!!!
why do you watch him?
I agree a lot with Jody. He is very hardworking, and has to run several restaurants world-wide. And as for his constant yelling at people, its probably because these "experienced" chefs are always making rookie mistakes or failing simple tasks. And he also yells a lot because, lets face it, it makes for good TV. He probably doesnt act like that most of the time in real life.
Donna...He is hot as H.ll....What planet are you on?
You know that you just said that you hate the best chef of the 21st century. this guy is a great. your messed up if you think he's a jerk. i know he's not the nicest man, but he's not like hitler or something.
Yea, that so-called loser has YOU beat all the way to the bank.....lolololol !!!

I bet all you people knocking Gordon Ramsay would STILL rather eat at a restaurant that he's whipped-into-shape over one he hasn't gotten to yet !!

you are soooo right lol
Gordan suffers from what most everyone has when they get a top rated TV show. EGO. It is like a drug and has taken down many talented people over the years. I liked his show. Don't know what he is like in real life, but many of you act like you know him. I've never met the man but he is a hoot to watch on TV.

I like Kitchen Nightmares and also Hell's Kitchen. I think sometimes for Hells Kitchen, he does over due it, but when they undercook the food, I dont blame him for getting all hot headed, because its not safe to eat food that's under cooked. As for Kitchen Nightmares, I don't blame Gordon at all for being so hot headed at the owners because, they don't care. Like when he goes in the big refrigerator where they store the food, I can not believe how LAZY these people are. I am surprised that the inspectors are not on their tale either, or threaten to shut down the places. Just this last one on Kitchen Nightmares, after Gordon remodeled the place, the owners had to close it because of the bad economy at that time, that was sad.

If the bill is not paid the New York State Liquor has the right to pull his liquor license. I don't know about most people but if a toad like him got in my face with his screaming he would be quickly on his back spitting out teeth. No one desreves to be treated like he treats people.
