At the age of 19, Ramsay Jr. became committed to pursuing a culinary education. He worked at the Wickham Arms and the Wroxton House Hotel in the early 1980s. He relocated to London and worked in numerous restaurants there.
Ramsay decided to learn French cuisine while working for the erratic Marco Pierre White at Harvey’s for over three years. He started working for Albert Roux at Le Gavroche in Mayfair on the advice of White.
He stayed in France for a further three years and profited from Guy Savoy’s guidance. Then he agreed to take a less demanding position as a personal chef on the luxury yacht Idlewild, which is based in Bermuda.
Ramsay received an opportunity to become the head chef and receive a 10% share in the Rossmore when he returned to London in 1993.
In the following 15 years, Gordon Ramsay went on to build a prosperous restaurant chain not only in England but also in Glasgow, Ireland, Dubai, Tokyo, New York City, Florida, and Los Angeles.
He made an appearance on the TV show Faking It in 2001, assisting Ed Devlin, a hamburger flipper who wanted to become a chef, in learning the ropes. The BAFTA for Best Factual TV Moment was awarded to this episode.
In 2010, he served as a producer and judge for the US edition of MasterChef, participated in Gordon’s Great Escape, a travel documentary about his trip to India, and served as the host of Ramsay’s Best Restaurant.
