Chefs

Michelin guide for Great Britain and Ireland’s launch next Wednesday 21 January 2009.

So ahead of the launch, I want some of your predictions, mine for this year is that,............ Gordon Ramsay will lose one star this year.

ooooooohhhhhh, there I said it, so lets hear yours, if you get it right I might fork out for your dinner there, no booze, just food (had to get that in, i know what you all are like)

Well thankfully none of you chefs took a punt, so Im not out of pocket.

By the way my prediction was wrong, Ramsay retained his three stars.

I will post a full list of stars in the news articles.

Ok so I got it wrong but they will be falling next year judging by the Top 100 restaurants list.

A kitchen nightmare as Ramsay's venue falls out of top 100

Heston Blumenthal's Fat Duck was named one of the top restaurants in the world last night as Gordon Ramsay suffered the ignominy of falling out of the top 100.


Just two months after hundreds of its £200-a-head diners fell violently ill, the Fat Duck, renowned for serving such unusual delicacies as nitro-green tea and salmon in liquorice, was named the second best restaurant in the world behind El Bulli in Spain for the fourth year running.

But the biggest casualty was Gordon Ramsay, whose worldwide restaurant empire has 10 Michelin stars, more than any other British chef. His finest restaurant, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in Chelsea, central London – one of only three British establishments with three Michelin stars – fell out of the top 100 completely
