As a native Brit, what do
you appreciate most about
life in Los Angeles?
The best things about L.A. are
the beautiful views when I’m
riding around on my bike or
running in the canyons. But
there’s no ignoring the fact that
it has its quirks. No one knows
how to drive in the rain, and
sometimes people are a bit too
laid back!
Q+A
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
What silly kid stuff do you enjoy
most on L.A. adventures with
your son, Jack, and daughters
Matilda, Megan and Holly?
We love spending time at the
beach, so we’ll go swimming,
paddleboarding and biking along
the beach in Santa Monica. The
kids have even taken surfing
lessons in Malibu at the Malibu
Surf Shack. We love going to the
different farmers markets, espe-
cially the Santa Monica one on
Saturdays. And at night, the kids
love to go to Cinespia to watch
outdoor movies.
Chefs have never been
more stylish. Where do you
shop for clothes?
When I’m not shopping online,
I like stopping by Theory or
checking out some of the amaz-
ing designers on La Brea. There’s
also great shopping at Cross
Creek in Malibu, with a delicious
brunch at Malibu Farm. And the
views are pretty good as well!
The culinary world currently
points to Los Angeles as
the best dining city in America.
What’s energizing the food
scene here?
I think it’s because of the ability
for L.A. chefs to be creative, just
like the creative community that
is based in L.A. I think the chefs
here are more apt to take risks
and put their own spins on clas-
sic cuisines, like at Bestia and
Otium. The produce and seafood
you can get in Southern Cali-
fornia is extraordinary as well.
That freshness helps get a lot
of young, talented chefs excited
and creative with their dishes.
What are L.A.’s hottest
restaurants? Tell us where
to go and what to order.
Go to Wolf for Marcel Vigneron’s
vadouvan lamb rack. Santa
Monica Yacht Club for the whole
fried snapper. Norah restaurant
for crispy rillettes. The Bellwether
for Ted Hopson’s tempura
cauliflower. You can’t go wrong
with that.
Summer is barbecue season.
Where is L.A.’s best?
There’s a lot of great barbecue
in L.A., but my current favorite is
Barrel & Ashes in Studio City.
They have a great selection of
delicious smoked meats.
You don’t always eat fine food;
I once spotted you at an In-N-
Out Burger drive-thru. Which
L.A. joint wins the burger wars?
In-N-Out. Always.
Which local chefs do you
think could give you a run for
your Michelin-starred money?
My daughter Tilly! She has her
own cooking show in the U.K. on
CBBC. I guess you can say she
learned from the best.

Gordon Ramsay doesn’t always scream at people, but when
he does, he prefers to use obscenities. With 30 restaurants, 27
cookbooks, 10 top-rated TV shows in the U.S. alone, 6 Michelin
stars, 5 pets, 4 kids and 1 potty mouth, the most interest-
ing chef in the world is short-tempered, largely because he’s
short on time. He’s constantly on the go between the L.A. and
U.K. hubs of his media empire, which is currently serving up
new Fox seasons of MasterChef (Wednesdays at 8 p.m.)
and Hotel Hell (Tuesdays at 8 p.m.). But though Ramsay is
a hothead, he clearly has a warm heart when it comes to the
small fries. He’s a big softie who melts around his young
MasterChef Junior contestants, and he minds his manners
(mostly) with his own foodie brood.  —Vicki Arkoff
