>For almost a decade, the mysterious theft of a reservation book from the top London restaurant where Gordon Ramsay made his name has baffled the culinary world.

>An unidentified man pulled up outside the Aubergine restaurant on a scooter, dived in, snatched the book - in the days before computerised bookings, a serious act of sabotage - and bolted.

>Ramsay, then head chef, pointed the finger at his mentor turned nemesis, Marco Pierre White, who, he believed, wanted to depose him and take over the Michelin starred Chelsea restaurant.

>The person behind the 1998 robbery was never identified. Until now. "It was me," Ramsay has admitted. "I nicked it. I blamed Marco. Because I knew that would fuck him and that it would call off the dogs ... I still have the book in a safe at home."

>He arranged for the biker to steal it, he explained. "It was my one stroke of genius, fucking someone over without his knowing that I was the one who done it. And the [restaurant owners] cutting Marco off and wanting to get closer to me, kissing my ass ... You always eat that fucking revenge when it's cold, don't you? Trust me, this was stone cold."

I can't wait for the 300 replies of retards not understanding that Marco literally made Ramsay into his nemesis by treating him like a relentless cunt and telling him, continually, that he would never surpass him when he straight-up has.

If you're not retarded and have paid attention to what he and Ramsay have said about each other you'll understand that Marco never wanted Ramsay to be anything more than his underling, his goon who would work under the Pierre White brand and slave away for his restauranteur master while Marco got to do the celebrity bollocks, much like John Sargent did for Ramsay before he made a name for himself (which, unlike Pierre White, Ramsay encouraged).

Marco actively sabotaged and kowtowed Gordon at every fucking turn and took every chance he could to upstage him, and Gordon straight up outplayed and backstabbed him so fucking hard that it made Marco leave the kitchen. Which, if you ask me, is fantastic because it shows that even the most relentless, pissant little fucker will collapse if you put enough pressure on their bollocks.

He didn't; that's the point
MPW completely flipped the book on what being a chef and cooking in the UK meant, before selling out so hard that no-one would ever accuse him of being slack. Ramsey on the other hand is best known for being a shouty cunt with two really very good restaurants (neither of which he spends all that much time at)

According to Marco's wiki :
White once made Gordon Ramsay cry when Ramsay worked for him in Harveys early in Ramsay's career. "I don't recall what he'd done wrong but I yelled at him and he lost it. Gordon crouched down in the corner of the kitchen, buried his head in his hands and started sobbing."[14]

So since OP is a fag i looked into it, and this is real. He admitted it in an interview with the New Yorker - in 2007

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2007/04/02/the-taming-of-the-chef

The story was then picked up by pretty much everyone else. MPW threatened legal action against Gordon over the theft after the interview, as well as a libel suit for accusing him of the theft, but I don't think anything ever came of it.

Here's some other fun Gordon Ramsay antics:
