How Gordon Ramsay won THREE Michelin stars | Dish Podcast | Waitrose

Gordon Ramsay OBE is arguably the most famous chef in the world. His global restaurant empire has been awarded 17 Michelin stars; he has hosted some of the biggest shows on UK and US TV, including Hell’s Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares; and he has a string of bestselling books. The internet loves Gordon Ramsay and a cool 60 million people follow him on social media. His new book, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay: A Story of Excellence is out now. Angela knows exactly what Gordon likes to eat and prepares him a delicious crab linguine with chilli and garlic. Nick pours a vintage English sparkling wine, Gusbourne Exclusive Release, to toast Angela’s birthday and later some Soave, which is paired with the meal by the experts at Waitrose. This is a really special episode as Gordon and Angela reminisce about the early days of Aubergine, the restaurant that launched their culinary careers. Nick learns a thing or two about Michelin stars, while Gordon talks family, fitness and TikTok. This episode was released in September 2023 and was the first episode from Series 4 of Dish from Waitrose.
