Summary
Not a sausage. That is what Gordon Ramsay had when he started out as a chef, working 16-hour days, 6 days a week. When he was struggling to get his first restaurant in the black, he didn't think he'd be famous for a TV show about how to run profitable eateries, or that he'd be head of a business empire. But he is, and he did. Here's how.
"In the beginning there was nothing.
Not a sausage - penniless, broke, f***ing nothing - and although, at a certain age, that didnât matter hugely, there came a time when hand-me-downs, cast-offs, and football boots of odd sizes all pointed to a problem that seemed to have afflicted me, my mum, my sisters, Ronnie, and the whole lot of us. It was as though we had been dealt the âall-time dysfunctionalâ poker hand.
I wish I could say that, from this point on, the penny dropped and I decided to do something about it, but it wasnât like that. It would take years before the lessons of life, business and money began to click into place - before, as they say, I had a pot to piss in.
This is the story of how those lessons were learned."
This is Gordon Ramsay at his raw, rugged best. Playing with Fired is the amazing story of Gordonâs journey from sous-chef to superstar. In his no-holds-barred style, Gordon shares his passion for risk and adventure, and his hard-won success secrets.
