Gordon James Ramsay was born on November 8, 1966, in Johnstone, Scotland and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, England, after he moved there with his family at the age of 5. He has described the decision to set out on his own as "the most important day of my entire cooking career; the most important decision of my life".

Ramsay's interest in cooking began in his teenage years; rather than be known as "the football player with the gammy knee", [13] he decided to pay more serious attention to his culinary education at age 19. In 1993, Ramsay struck out on his own as head chef of the newly opened Aubergine in London where, over the course of three years, he earned the restaurant a two-star rating from Michelin. In June 2007, Ramsay's show was sued by the terminated general manager (Martin Hyde) of the New York restaurant Purnima (Dillon's), who also alleged fakery. Many consider Gordon Ramsey to be the most famous chef in the world, though his fame isn’t always garnered for the right reasons.
