I've seen Gordon Ramsey twice, checking in at a hotel, in Manchester, England and walking down the street in my hometown filming something for Hells Kitchen i think. I was too shy to go over to him.
Me and my boyfriend love watching this show though. The UK and US versions.
I just finished watching the season finale of the 3rd season on Food Network Canada last night. I've watched season 1 on dvd, and have season 2 on dvd, as well.
I can't wait until the next Channel 4 Kitchen Nightmares starts up. His next mission apparently has him doing a restaurant makeover for an entire town chosen by viewers. Gordon said, "I want people to nominate the worst eating-out town in Britain, and I'll go and sort it out." I could suggest a couple for him if he wants.
