Most of us have jobs that, if televised, may not make for great TV.  Let’s face it, taking phone calls at your desk, laying concrete, or meeting with a customer doesn’t really rake in the ratings.  But, some of the more interesting jobs are accentuated by even more interesting characters.  Enter someone like the subject of this episode, Gordon Ramsay.   While cooking shows have captured audiences for decades, Ramsay has taken the celebrity chef status to the next level.  His restaurant empire stretches around the world, but other than his food, what is he best known for?  That fiery temper of his.  There have been a lot of conversations around its authenticity and how it plays well for TV, but is it the real Gordon?  With all the success he’s had, are there some skeletons in the kitchen closet that we may not really hear about?  We’ll dive into this and much more in the Gordon Ramsay episode of AHC Podcast.
