gordon ramsay What is happeneing here?

He's an acclaimed chef in Britain with seven Michelin stars, and yet he has gone the way of many chefpires (chef-empires) - television shows, restaurants in Hollywood and all over the world opening at breakneck speed, and now comes to this? Gordon Ramsay will be opening a chain of pubs. Is Gordon Ramsay going the way of...TGI Friday's?!?

Ramsay's business managers are making big plans to acquire and license to country inns that would sell beer and spirits, but focus primarily on the food.

I don't know, let's just hope the chef never loses his "flair."

Many pubs in the UK (admittedly, often freehouses) have excellent food and beer.

And the ones I've been to haven't had a touch of the TGIs about them (or their menus). :)
