Restaurant career

Ramsay became head chef of Aubergine in London in 1993. Gordon Ramsay Restaurants was founded in 1997, and he opened Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in Chelsea the following year.

The company lists him as founder and co-owner, while FOX identifies him as a mentor and executive producer of Next Level Chef.
