Gordon Ramsay: I’ve had a belly-full of French food

TV chef plans to open all-British restaurant in Paris

Gordon Ramsay is planning to open his own British-style restaurant in Paris to showcase our finest food.

‘I’ve had a belly-full of the French coming over here and telling us how s*** our food is,' the fiery chef tells The Sunday Times.

‘We have cheese on toast, they have croque-monsieur. They just have posher names.’

The 40-year-old will use only British produce and is passionate that English grub will cut the mustard on the continent.

‘We should f****** stand strong and shout from the rooftops,' he rants.

'[We have] hand-dived scallops from the west coast of Scotland, wonderful Aberdeen Angus steak and mussels and oysters from beds in south Ireland. Why not?’

Why not indeed?
