I can't wait for someone to punch Gordon Ramsay right in his smug face. There's some Fox News (or maybe Jerry Springer?) for ya. I wouldn't give that asshole a dime of my money. If nothing more, just for having a ridiculous reality television show in the first place. I guess it is good for having trend followers patronize his businesses so they can impress their friends and frenemies over the latest Red Bull and Belvedere recipe.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Like OMG, like you ate at Gordon Ramsay's?"
"Yeah"
"No way"
"Way"
"Did you hear that, sweatheart? They are so much better than us. Let's go have a couple more Raging Bulls and watch an episode of "16 and Pregnant" so we can feel superior again."

I couldn't agree more that he acts like a complete ass on his show. For me, I love a great meal and precious few places earn 3 Michelin stars. Ramsay has a bunch of cheaper restaurants in London where one can eat and tell folks that they ate at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant (indeed, he's got restaurants right here in New York City). But Gordon Ramsay Restaurant is the one with the serious foodie accolades.
Like I said, I hope that the quality of the food matches Ramsay's and that particular restaurant's reputation.

Speaking of Cinnamon Club, you should give Cinnabon a try. Probably one at Heathrow or Gatwick just past immigration/customs. It will save you a shitload if time and money.
