05:01Two and a half thousand staff
05:03The one and only
05:06Chef Gordon Ramsay
05:10We have restaurants in Asia
05:13North America
05:15UK
05:16France
05:17And
05:18Still growing
05:20And then there's the media
05:23Run the fucking food
05:25Now
05:26Run
05:26Something I haven't done in 19 fucking years
05:29From a TV program

05:32To a social media video
05:36Millions of followers
05:39Across the globe
05:40It's got
05:41Huge
05:42How's it going man?
05:44You're good?
05:44You're good
05:45You're gonna start beating like this
05:47This year's a big one
05:5022 Bishop's Gate
05:51Is
05:52The most
05:53Difficult
05:54High pressurized
05:56Ambitious
05:57Project
05:57I've ever
05:58Ever
06:00Opened in my entire life
06:03I'm opening
06:04Five
06:04Independent businesses
06:06Under one roof
06:07In
06:08An iconic
06:09Address
06:09There is so much
06:12Riding on this
06:14Reputationally
06:15Financially
06:16And
06:17If Bishop's Gate
06:18Was to fail
06:19Yeah I'm fucked
06:21There's no two ways about that
06:24We've got
06:25We've got 120 guests in here
06:26Yeah
06:26Now it's time to have 240 guests
06:30Talented fucking chefs need to dig in
06:34I think people think that they know Gordon because they see him everywhere
06:38Young man if I can fucking run the plates so can you
06:41Come on you can do it
06:44He's known for being opinionated for saying it straight
06:48It's just a little bit too straight laced and I want everything on those fucking tables you need
06:53Does it need to be that big?
06:55They're big fucking oyster shells aren't they?
06:56It's just not good enough
06:58Yeah
06:58Not good enough
06:59Common sense is not that fucking common tonight
07:04But do they know you when you're at home behind closed doors? No
07:10The real Gordon is when we are on our own with our family that's the real us
07:21For Gordon the most important thing is the kids
07:24Have you done a pooping? Have you done a pooping?
07:26You also don't do that right look you're missing all this
07:28No that's called piff
07:30Piff off
07:31You're such a nod
07:33Yeah
07:34So when bishopsgate first came up the enormity of it is what made me so nervous
07:42And I'm always going to worry at him taking on more
07:54Take a look at this beauty
07:58Wow
08:01Look at that
08:02You ready?
08:05Come on
08:05Let's go
08:07You know I'm scared of high
08:09No I know oh shit you tell me now
08:1422 bishop's gaze keeps me up at night
08:18These spaces just don't come on the radar
08:23It's an iconic building in the middle of the city and it sticks out like a sore thumb
08:31Is humongous
08:3427,000 square feet
08:38That's like opening a restaurant in the middle of fucking Wembley Stadium
08:42And I've got big plans for this place
08:47First off right at the very top
08:50A 60 seater rooftop garden with a retractable roof
08:56Underneath that lucky cat a 250 seater Asian inspired restaurant
09:02Alongside that restaurant called Ramsey High
09:06A 12 seater unique dining experience
09:10And then underneath us you know our beautiful all-day browser at Bread Street Kitchen
09:15And then finally number five the academy
09:17A stunning culinary school
09:20It's incredible
09:21It is incredible
09:24And I want to be in there
09:26Doors opening
09:27Okay this is
09:30This is the 59th floor
09:31So this is
09:33Bread Street Kitchen
09:35So one of five
09:36And every guest
09:38Yeah every guest
09:39You ready?
09:40Yes
09:40Every guest will have to come up through here to get up to
09:43Okay
09:44So
09:46Look at that
09:48Shit
09:49Whoa
09:50I know
09:52It is
09:54Enormous
09:59Look how far you can see
10:03Look at the aeroplanes
10:06How low they are
10:07Well I think we're sort of on a level with them
10:09I know
10:12There's the shard
10:14Which looks tiny
10:16Look down there
10:18Oh
10:18No no come over
10:21Seriously
10:23Look how small everything looks
10:27God does that not make you feel a bit funny?
10:29No
10:29God no
10:30No no no
10:32London Eye
10:33Houses of Parliament
10:35St Paul's Cathedral
10:40It looks like a
10:41It looks like a
10:41It looks like some kind of game doesn't it?
10:43Everything's so tiny
10:46But also down over there
10:48Yeah?
10:49Just after Tower Bridge
10:51It's where we first met
10:53Yeah
10:53In Tower Bridge
10:54Pond de la Tour
10:55Oh Pond de la Tour
10:56Yeah sorry
10:57Shit is that it in front of us?
10:58You brought your fiance in to meet me
11:00Stop fucking around
11:01Jesus Christ
11:03Honestly
11:03Why did you bring that shit up now?
11:05I'm only telling the story
11:07Fucking hell
11:10The first time I met Tana
11:12I was mates with her boyfriend at the time
11:15And they picked me up
11:16And I was with my girlfriend from Paris
11:18To come to our mate's wedding
11:20And Tana was driving the car
11:24And I was sat in the back seat
11:25And I'm looking at my mate
11:27Thinking oh my god
11:28Your girlfriend is fucking gorgeous
11:32Yeah she looked like a young Julia Roberts
11:35And she brought a level of excitement like no other
11:40I'm not too sure if that's what Tana said when she first met me though
11:43But I get the feeling that she wasn't a big fan
11:48I didn't like him
11:49I thought he was really arrogant
11:53Really full of himself
11:54So yeah he used to really irritate me
11:57But then there's that whole thing where
11:59Did I not like him because maybe I really liked him?
12:03I don't know
12:03It took about a month
12:04And then we were both single
12:08She knew I didn't have a pot to piss in
12:10And so I'll be honest
12:12I honestly thought for many months that Tana was out my league
12:19But then yeah we ended up sort of chatting
12:23One night and chatted all night
12:26I guess I must have fancied him
12:29I won her over with food
12:31Thank fuck
12:34The amazing ambition was there
12:37Absolute dedication
12:38He's always been someone who dreams big
12:43But you know what he's just
12:46He's just Gordon to me
12:48I mean I've known him since I was 18
12:50So you know we've sort of grew up through this time together
12:55If you look at us on pen and paper I know
12:58But she is the foundation
13:00There's no two ways about that
13:03It would have been quite strange I think
13:05To meet someone who was already in the public eye
13:09And not understand what it was like before
13:13You know we've gone through that together
13:15And I'm always very grateful for that
13:21Right I'm dying to take you up to the top floor shall we
13:24Yes
13:24Wait till you see this
13:27You ready?
13:28Don't worry about waiting for me
13:30Sorry
13:31Floor 61 I'm excited
13:33I can't tell
13:34Oh my god
13:35You ready?
13:37Fuck which key is it?
13:39You always swear more when you get nervous
13:41Sorry
13:44Don't worry it's just the wind
13:48Fucking hell
13:49Are you faking that?
13:50I'm not
13:51I'm not fucking around
13:52Think how high we are
13:53Right
13:54No after you
13:56No no because I'll close the door
13:57The door slams
13:58You go first
14:00There's no floor there
14:01Oh fuck off
14:05So this is going to be a beautiful terrace
14:08We'll have a
14:10Retractable roof on top
14:12We're going to hold your 60 up here
14:15I think it will be yours first
14:16Isn't yours like next year?
14:18Oh my god
14:20Look at this baby
14:24It's incredible isn't it?
14:25It is incredible
14:26It's a big pressure
14:28Well for now it's a shell
14:30But it's not that far away
14:32We're a matter of months as opposed to years
14:34So everybody in this building needs to understand
14:37You know we're up against it time wise
14:39Yeah
14:40And for every week this place doesn't open
14:42You know you're losing a hundred grand
14:44So it's got to open
14:45And it will open
14:47It will open
14:53Let's put things in perspective right?
14:56Bishop's Gate is high risk but high reward
15:00I'm 57
15:01I'm not getting any younger
15:03I never thought I'd say this
15:05It's sort of one of my final stakes in the ground
15:07You know something that I'm going to be best remembered for
15:13The budget is 20 million pounds
15:16And I'm doing that personally with the help of the bank
15:21It scares the shit out of me man
15:26I grew up on a council estate in Stratporn Avon
15:28And I still remember my school uniform
15:30Having black patches on my second hand trousers
15:35I remember my mum saying to me that these nice leather patches on my trousers look great
15:40It's only because there was holes underneath those patches
15:44The way that I multitask is watching her multitasking
15:49Three jobs
15:50You know
15:51A cook
15:52You know
15:53A night nurse and a cleaner
15:55And one minute she's cooking food
15:58For us
15:59And next minute she's got her hands inside a urinal
16:02Cleaning the place
16:05And I'll be honest with you
16:07There's always that little
16:11Needle
16:12Of fear
16:13You're going to lose it
16:14And I hold on to that needle
16:16You know I want that little prod
16:18Just to remind myself
16:21That's why I'm a hard and difficult person to work for
16:24I want to make sure everything's perfect
16:26And I don't ever want anything to slip
16:32So it's sort of all or nothing
16:36I want to make sure that this building has some of the best restaurants in the world
16:42And to get there
16:43We go through so many tiny details
16:47Even down to the napkins
16:51You know
16:52You know
16:52Is that open kitchen?
16:53Does it need something more intimate?
16:56First impressions
16:57It needs a wow factor
17:00Phenomenal chefs
17:01Massive brigade
17:03The uniforms
17:04Menu size
17:06The flower display
17:07The size of the water bottle
17:12I am the biggest pain in the arse
17:14Because I'll scrutinise everything
17:20But before we do anything
17:21We've just got to build the thing
17:35I'm actually not from London, I'm from Birmingham
17:37I live in a place called Sturtley
17:40So it's about three and a half hour journey every Monday morning for me
17:46Up to three o'clock this morning
17:47On the train and across the tubes
17:50Up to Bishop's Gate
17:54I don't get much time at home on the weekend
17:57We have Friday afternoon
17:58And my weekend's spent shopping really with the wife
18:01Then we'll probably have one of the grandkids on Sunday
18:04And then I'm in bed at nine o'clock
18:07And up for three and a half three again Monday morning
18:18This is the fourth build I've worked on for Gordon
18:22This is another level, this is a big job
18:24But at the end of the day
18:26I hope to think he remembers me
18:28As the man that can get the job done
18:30On time
18:32Every time
18:34And right every time
18:35Without any issues
18:38Just get that one up first
18:40To level 60
18:41And the rest is level 59, yeah?
18:44All right
18:46Biggest issues are the deliveries
18:48You know, we're the highest building in the city of London
18:52There's only one lift that comes to this floor
18:54The size of the lift you can only get the materials in that are three metres long
18:58So you're not going down the stairs all day
19:00To make sure that the next delivery can come through
19:04It's hard work, it's hard graft
19:06It really is
19:07But we are proud to be working on it
19:10We really are proud
19:16Christ, this place is busy
19:18You good?
19:19When Gordon visits, it's always a nerve-wracking time for us and the team on site
19:26This dish will be in the next day
19:28And what is this underneath here?
19:30Is that wood?
19:32Yeah, it is in wood
19:33Yeah, there's a lot to do
19:36But the guys are throwing all the resource they got at it
19:40What happens to this by the way?
19:42It's a structural beam
19:43It'll be part of the floor
19:45And do you not think we should paint it black?
19:48Preference, it's whatever you prefer
19:50I think you'll be more glamorous painters, right?
19:52Could you put that on your list?
19:54I will do, yes
19:56Somebody was extremely driven, extremely focused
19:59What's this area here?
20:00Pot wash
20:01Is that right? The pot wash being so close to the...
20:03There's a door there
20:03No, I'm just talking about the noise
20:04Oh, noise-wise
20:09Doesn't leave any ambiguity on what is expected of us as a team
20:16What's this in here?
20:17It's a private dining room
20:18It's private dining room
20:19It's all glass, isn't it?
20:20Yeah?
20:21Smoked glass
20:22It can be if you want it smoked
20:24I think it should be lightly smoked
20:26Don't you?
20:27Well, just for privacy
20:28If it's called a private dining room
20:30And you've got no privacy
20:30Then how is it fucking private?
20:33Yeah, so...
20:34Especially when you've got people walking past to the toilet
20:35Yeah, I don't want it looking like the zoo
20:37Don't I mean?
20:38So, can we lightly smoke that?
20:39Please?
20:43We've got 22 weeks, basically, to get this finished
20:46Come over the line
20:47This is the setting out plan
20:48We're 30 mil short here
20:50You do get a lot more pressure
20:51Because it's a high-profile job
20:53Especially who it's for
20:54Being Gordon Ramsay
20:55And at the end of the day
20:56It's his job
20:57It's his...
20:57It's his restaurant
20:59So it's Gordon's rules
21:01You know that wall you built?
21:03Yeah
21:03Take it out
21:04Alright
21:05They don't want it now
21:15Are these your sons?
21:18I think they look like you
21:20Thank you very much Gordon
21:21I don't think I'm that old yet
21:22No, I didn't tell you why
21:23I'm not far off
21:23But they look like your sons
21:25The only question I want to...
21:26Are we on time?
21:27No
21:28No?
21:30What?
21:31Love it
21:31Keep it in front
21:32Thanks, bud
21:33Good to see you
21:34Thanks for that, lads
21:50Mate
21:51Alfie's gonna be here in a minute
21:52Are you ready for a haircut?
21:53Shall I show you what Nanny used to do to me?
21:56See she used to put a bowl on my head
21:58Round like that
21:59And then cut all those bits here
22:00So it looked like a proper helmet
22:02Would you like that as well?
22:03Yeah
22:04Yeah!
22:08Gordon works a lot
22:09But when we're home
22:11It's always a really happy time
22:14Because he is most relaxed
22:16When things are just very normal
22:18Come on, let's go there
22:19Whose is this?
22:19Whose is this?
22:20Oh no, T, don't do that honestly
22:21I mean, no one grounds you more than having kids, do they?
22:25Yeah, mini-mees, I call them
22:26I fucking love it
22:29We've got six kids
22:30We've got our very own brigade
22:31Megan the eldest
22:3327 years of age
22:34Then there's the twins
22:35Holly and Jack
22:3625 years old
22:39Matilda at 23
22:41Oscar at 6
22:42Jesse James at 18 months
22:45Did I miss any of them?
22:46No, you didn't
22:47No, you didn't
22:47No, thanks for that
22:48Sam
22:49Can you?
22:50Just how it is
22:51No, please
22:52You need a tiny trim
22:53Because you don't like me brushing it
22:55And you can't go to school
22:56And you'll not be able to see
22:57And listen
22:57It's school time
22:58Okay
22:59We're going back to school
23:00So you've got to look nice and smart
23:02Being with them gives you an incredible uplift
23:07It's real special time
23:08That was a good one
23:12You know, I sadly had a torrid relationship with my father
23:14I just couldn't wait to spend time out of the house
23:17Away from him
23:19You know, it's fair to say
23:21You weren't his favourite son
23:23He used to take joy in sort of saying things he knew you'd rebel against
23:28Yeah, my father called me a snob once
23:31And I said, no, no, definitely not a snob
23:33I just want to get out of the shit mess I was born in
23:36I had to sit there, you know, at weekends
23:39And almost watch him ruin his life through alcohol
23:44It's hard, isn't it, when someone's an alcoholic
23:46It's very hard to relate to that
23:48Cause you just, you're nervous
23:51You're worried about, you know, hitting the end of the bottle
23:54And seeing that bottle of Bacardi disappear
23:57Cause you know what happens at the end of that
23:59So, in many ways, I'm using that awful relationship
24:03To become a better dad
24:05What's that in there?
24:06Oh, there's a door
24:07Is it Alfie? You go and get it
24:08Morning Alfie
24:10Morning
24:10Morning Alfie
24:12A bowl goes on my head
24:14And then you cut all around the head
24:15Well, how big's the bowl gonna be?
24:18I'll show you
24:18I mean
24:19I'll try this one
24:20Let's try this
24:21Oh, mate
24:23There you go
24:24A proper bellend
24:27Don't say that
24:28Don't say it
24:29Don't say it
24:30Imagine if he goes to his teacher
24:32Do you like my haircut? I'm a bellend
24:36Do you want to come with me to make a coffee?
24:38Is it nice?
24:40Tilly and Gordon are very similar
24:43Probably the most similar out of all the kids
24:47They have this whole connection with Tilly's love of food
24:51And I think the fact that it does seem as if she's gonna go into that industry
24:56Has made him really happy
24:57Because at one stage
24:58It looked like no one was interested in that
25:01Let's make stir fry noodles
25:04I started cooking when I was very young
25:07When Dad was filming, he used to see me watching through the door
25:10And he used to just prop me up on the side
25:13And very slowly he started saying
25:15Or can you mix this?
25:16Or can you add a pinch of salt here?
25:18I think for me it was really exciting
25:20Being part of everything he did
25:24So I definitely got the bug for cooking at a young age
25:28But now I'm about to have a chance to go to culinary school
25:32And learn things by myself
25:34You know, get my own knowledge
25:35And tell Dad some things that I learnt that he might not know
25:41Yeah, my little girl's going for a fitting
25:43To get her first set of chef whites
25:45Which, I mean, in many ways
25:49I put them on her back at the age of, I think it was four
25:51I got her a little pink chef's coat years ago
25:54And then thought, no, that's too forceful
25:56You know, get them if you want it
26:00And she's arse
26:03It's quite an important moment
26:05Not as daunting as seeing your daughter in a wedding dress
26:08But it is fucking out there
26:09It is out there
26:10It's like shit
26:12You know, a mini-me
26:15Tills!
26:16Let's go, girl
26:18Jump in
26:21You've got no space
26:23Tills
26:23Wait for Mum, just wait
26:24Now you're overreacting
26:26Dad!
26:27Come on, tell us
26:28I think you're on Jack's car
26:29I am not on it
26:30You are
26:31Let's go, sexy bitch
26:33Dad!
26:36You're in drive, right?
26:37This is careful
26:38Tilly, seriously, I'm in drive
26:39Really?
26:41Seriously
26:46This cookery school has got one of the best reputations in the world
26:49Really?
26:49Not just in Ireland
26:51How do you think it compares to other ones that you've visited, you've seen?
26:56This is the real deal
26:57You won't want to leave
26:58No
26:58You will not want to leave
27:01I do feel quite nervous, you know
27:03It's the first time I'll be in a proper professional setting like that
27:07And I know I'm only learning, but I like things to go well
27:11But you are going to make mistakes
27:13Mm-hmm
27:13And being nervous is quite a cool thing
27:16Yeah
27:17If you weren't nervous, I'd be a bit worried
27:19But sponge, get over the mistake
27:22Mm-hmm
27:23And don't dwell on it
27:25Yeah
27:27What's the hardest kitchen you've worked in?
27:30Which one?
27:31Oh, I mean, I'll be honest, Marcus was brutal
27:34Was that the hardest?
27:35But in an incredible way
27:36Yeah
27:37In the hardest because I was learning the most
27:41When I started cooking
27:44I didn't have a father that guided me in my career
27:49I had a father that told me, you know, cooking was for women
27:54And it wasn't a man's job
27:57But then I got into a kitchen with the first ever British chef to win three stars
28:04The most prolific chef in the country
28:07Marker Pierre White
28:10And he was like, in fact, a father figure
28:16He had the gift of this Picasso
28:20He put food on a plate like no other
28:22And so your fingers had to become so disciplined
28:24And you had to follow quickly
28:27Because if you didn't, you know, step up and match what he wanted
28:31You're fucking toast, man
28:32And that scared the crap out of me
28:35And I was Marco's right-hand man
28:38I went to hell and back every day of my life for him
28:4118 hours a day, six days a week
28:45But the level of skill I was learning was at a rate of knots
28:49And so I became good very quickly
28:52And he brought that natural talent out of me
28:57Do you ever remember any of your biggest first mistakes in the kitchen?
29:01Oh, massive fuck-ups
29:02I remember the pasta machine
29:05Two exact same machines
29:07But for some reason on zero
29:09The pasta went thinner
29:11On the older one that had a blue plaster on there
29:14So we made that for the raviolis
29:15And I remember halfway through the raviolis
29:17And Mark said, pass those big things
29:19You go through it, see it went through twice, Marker
29:21He said, using the blue plaster machine
29:23I said, yeah, yeah
29:24So we finished making them
29:25He turned the machine upside down
29:26And it was the wrong machine
29:27And we're talking about millimetres
29:30Millimetre difference
29:31He then made me pay for those raviolis
29:34I never made that for steak again
29:35You had to pay for all of them
29:37And he sold them that night in the restaurant as well
29:40Honestly, ridiculous
29:44Motherfucker
29:49It's on your right, coming up soon
29:52Let him come out
29:54Thank you
29:59Oh fuck
30:01Fuck
30:03Was that me?
30:05Oh shit
30:05You thought
30:07Oh fuck
30:11Oh shit
30:14Dad
30:14I did not see him
30:15He's probably out to get you
30:17Don't worry, I'll get him
30:17I'll get him
30:18Say sorry
30:19Sorry, I didn't see you on the side there
30:21My fault entirely
30:22Can I give you my details, please?
30:25Sorry
30:26What a fucking nightmare
30:27It was so far left
30:28Of course I didn't see it
30:28No reverse sensors
30:30Oh well
30:31This is gonna be an expensive fucking trip
30:33I only want a pair of chef whites
30:35Dad, you need to park
30:36Oh
30:36Yeah
30:43Fucking hell
30:44And in your mum's car as well
30:46Fuck's sake
30:47Bollocks
30:55Hello
30:55Hello
30:56Hello
30:56Hello
30:56How are you?
30:57Thank you
30:58Good
30:58Here for some chef jackets please, downstairs
31:00Thank you
31:04Out of all the kids
31:05Out of all the kids
31:05Tilly knows me
31:06And she's very good at unlocking that defence mechanism
31:09And she knows how to really get straight to me
31:13Is there a chef discount from my
31:16I'm sure there is a chef discount for you
31:17Well we just smashed the car so any
31:19Any short change
31:21We?
31:21Wasn't we?
31:22Any short change would be greatly appreciative
31:23Am I able to try on?
31:25You are of course able to try on
31:26Amazing
31:26I think just try some on dad and have a look
31:28They've gotta be white
31:29Yes
31:30Yeah
31:35The way dad is in the kitchen is, you know, he's in a stressful environment
31:39He reacts the way he does for perfection
31:43At home he is the complete opposite
31:46He manages to juggle a lot
31:48And I think that's one thing I've always admired about him
31:52Is he can be the busiest, the busiest man ever
31:56But if any of us needed, I know I can text him, call him, any time
32:01Jesus, it's like going back to school
32:02So we've got two little ones going back to school
32:04And we've got their eldest going back to culinary school
32:07Jesus
32:07When did...
32:09No, eldest daughter
32:10No, sorry, youngest
32:11Who are you getting changed?
32:13He's emotional when he's proud for sure
32:16There are those signs you can always see
32:17Kind of like long blinks
32:19And then he looks up and then he won't face you
32:21And he goes...
32:21And he looks around and he just...
32:23He doesn't want people to see him cry
32:25Are you ready?
32:26I am ready
32:27Let's go, girl
32:27Hit me
32:29I'm here
32:30Oh my God
32:32What do you think?
32:33I love that
32:34I've tucked it up because it's quite long
32:36No, they need to be long
32:37Really?
32:38Yeah, they'll insist
32:39Safety
32:39That looks amazing, come here
32:41Oh my God
32:42Yeah, you never tuck that up like that
32:44That's why I double breasted
32:46It looks amazing
32:47Oh my God
32:48The blue trousers as well
32:50I love the blue
32:51No, it's such a chef's look
32:54Girl, you look freaking amazing
32:57I'm going to wear these trousers
32:59That jacket looks lovely on you
33:01It's nicely fitted as well
33:02How do you wear this bit?
33:04Yeah, so that jacket there
33:06The little button that gets done up in there
33:09So that stops that from slipping down
33:11Mm-hmm
33:12Right
33:13Oh my God
33:14Oh my God
33:15And then that one doubles up
33:15But the cool kids go there
33:17But that's your Dad's bit
33:19Let me just take a picture
33:20I cannot believe you like that
33:22And I'll send it to Mum
33:23My little girl's got a little chef-y
33:25Go
33:27Ta-da!
33:29Send it to family
33:30Incredible
33:31Look
33:33Look
33:36Now I look like you
33:37Oh?
33:38Now you just need to fucking cook like me
33:42Hey, how are you?
33:44I've crashed the fucking car
33:50London is, for me, one of the culinary capitals
33:53Not just in Europe, but in the world
33:57It's a hotspot
33:58It's a destination for incredible food
34:02So, for 22 Bishopsgate to stand out in amongst that competition
34:06We need to put phenomenal chefs at the coalface
34:11But it's also exciting
34:13Because it's a unique opportunity for nursing talent
34:23But Breast Free Kitchen is one of our mainstream all-day concepts
34:27Lucky Cat is an Asian-inspired Japanese influence
34:31And that's where I want to experiment with that hybrid
34:35And develop something magical
34:39And Michael is an incredible, young, talented, hungry chef
34:44Late 20s
34:45He hasn't hit his prime yet
34:47This will be the beginning of his prime
34:50He's still in the transition from head chef to executive chef
34:55And I think it will be one of the biggest moves in his entire career
35:02Trying to operate a restaurant that high in the sky
35:05Is going to be challenging on its own
35:07You know, you're going up 60 floors
35:10Can't just receive a delivery
35:11You know, at any time
35:13And just walk it into the kitchen
35:15So, throughout the whole team
35:17We're going to have to adapt
35:18You know, our normal day-to-day kitchen life on that
35:24You know, to be a part of
35:27You know, actually opening that and making it successful
35:30Is really exciting
35:32Really exciting
35:33But it's a big, big role
35:40I've been doing this now 13 years
35:43So, two years at Lucky Cat
35:46I went from senior to head chef
35:48Then exec quick
35:50So, taking all these
35:51You know, all these projects
35:53And trying to open a new restaurant in Bishopsgate
35:56Which is obviously
35:56It's like a massive, massive thing for everyone
35:59And even for Gordon
36:00This is huge
36:01Even now
36:02It's huge for him
36:07Everything that I do
36:08That the team does
36:10Is directly, you know, associated to Gordon
36:14Everything that we do
36:16You know, is his name
36:17You know, that's why
36:18Every day
36:19We make sure that
36:20That what we do
36:21In every restaurant
36:22Is always up to that standard
36:23That he expects
36:25And that he sets
36:27Really
36:33There's a determination behind those eyes
36:35That reminds me a little bit of myself
36:40But the pressure's more
36:41Harder than you can believe
36:43Because the current state of the industry today
36:46Is...
36:47Is pretty dire
36:50Cost of produce is extortion
36:54There's increased tariffs coming onto the radar everyday
36:58The interest rates are on the rise
37:00And, you know, the generations
37:02Multiple generations drinking less
37:03The whole sector is struggling
37:10I've closed multiple restaurants over my career
37:13And I've learnt that competition is rife
37:17I think 65% of new restaurants close in the first 18 months of trading
37:22So, you have to be better than good
37:29The first time I had to close a restaurant, would you believe, was where I was born
37:33In Glasgow, years ago
37:37It was fully booked for six months in advance
37:39Friday, Saturday
37:41But, Monday to Thursday
37:42It was a freaking ghost town
37:45No one could justify spending 120 quid
37:49You know, for dinner on a Monday night in Glasgow
37:51And so, I left Glasgow with my tail between my legs
37:55It was painful
37:57Painful
38:00That was a...
38:02That was a big wake-up call
38:05But, everything I've failed in
38:08Everything I've closed
38:09Everything I've opened
38:10Everything I've learnt
38:11Will go into Bishop's Gate
38:15To be successful in this business
38:17It needs to be incredibly popular
38:22So, I came up with an idea
38:24For a before and after party
38:26And the team thought I was fucking mad
38:29Hold on, mate
38:30You're gonna bring what?
38:31To a building site?
38:34Influencers
38:35What? Are you fucking kidding me?
38:38There's gonna be, like, builders everywhere
38:40And bloody viz jackets and boots and shit
38:43But when you give incredible food
38:48In this incredible rooftop garden
38:52That's never been seen before
38:54With the view that is the best in the country
38:58You're gonna blow their socks off
39:04So, when it comes to things like
39:05You came up with the hard hat party
39:07Where did that idea come from?
39:09Do you mind if I go first?
39:10Please?
39:11It was just to fuck every food critic off in the country
39:14Because ten years ago we were depending on their pens
39:16Ten years ago we were depending on their insults
39:19Ten years ago we were depending on their egos
39:23And they destroyed restaurants
39:25Yeah
39:26And over 25 years
39:29We've taken so much shit
39:32From, you know, critics
39:34When we first started dating
39:36We were excited for a family
39:39Within the first two years
39:41And there was a piece in one of the newspapers
39:43The failed footballer that had a shotgun wedding
39:45And it caused such hurt amongst us
39:51Because it was like, how does that relate to food?
39:55How do you write about a restaurant experience with that headline?
40:00Critics are important, okay?
40:02And constructive criticism is something that we thrive on
40:04But when it becomes personal, you know
40:07One of the most prolific critics
40:09Just had a brutal personal vendetta
40:12When he walked in with Joan Collins
40:13He thought that I wouldn't have the balls to do anything to him
40:16Because he sat with the glamorous, amazing Joan Collins
40:19And yeah, I couldn't wait for him to sit down
40:22Get the menu, time 20 minutes
40:24And ask him to get the hell out of that restaurant
40:26Because whether you're with Joan Collins or sat with the Queen
40:28You're still going out, mate, you're not sitting here
40:30I know it was wrong
40:31But that's what happens when women like Joan Collins
40:35Comes to dinner with knobheads
40:36And so it was 25 years of that stupid bashing
40:40That that whole influence event for me
40:44Was a clever move to say
40:47Thanks, but no thanks
40:49Welcome guys to sunny, lovely London
40:52I'm Harrison Webb, your host
40:54That's cringe, isn't it?
40:56That's gonna be in though
40:57You've seen it now
40:58Today we're in London
40:59And we are eating at Gordon Ramsay restaurants for 24 hours
41:03RIP my bank account
41:04Because this video is not sponsored by Mr Ramsay
41:11A lot of chefs hate these influencers
41:15This is sick, I love it
41:16Because they don't understand where they're going with their phones
41:20And their constant posting
41:22But they're very powerful
41:24And they don't take six weeks to fill a restaurant
41:30When they post, it goes viral
41:32And it's gone in seconds to the other end of the world
41:38That is really good
41:40Mine looks like a crime scene
41:41You've absolutely destroyed that
41:45Equally when it's bad
41:46That storm can hit you before the end of service
41:49So they are the most powerful critics on the planet today
41:54Yeah, I personally just don't get it
41:57So tonight I'm gonna fill the top floor
42:00With a hundred of the most powerful influencers
42:02To give them a before insight
42:06I don't think it's been done before
42:07So it's a nice way of sort of
42:09Letting them know just
42:10A how big this is
42:12But B, you know
42:14On the record
42:16I fucking need you guys
42:21This is gonna be a clear walk away for the influencers
42:24So I want to get most of it done today
42:26Because it's a big man
42:27I've got deliveries coming in tonight as well
42:29So we need to get this area clear
42:35I'm not happy about doing it
42:37You know, at the end of the day it's a working building size
42:39And while we're doing this
42:41We're not building Mr Ramsay's restaurants
42:43So the two of us are laid on this
42:44Making it all nice and rosy for influencers
42:51I'm probably wrong in saying this
42:52I think those these people are pretty for the camera
42:57And look pretty but
42:59They just want to sit there taking pretty pictures of food
43:02And putting it out on the internet
43:03What's the point?
43:04Sit there and eat it, enjoy it
43:05Don't wait till it's gone cold
43:16Can I have a plate of mixed crass, Josh, please?
43:21We have had to adapt to the fact that we have no facilities there at the moment to do anything
43:30hot
43:30and it is most definitely still a building site and also they can't
43:37dust proof the area it just means that we'll be working directly on the roof
43:44ideally we don't want rain but obviously we're in London we can't stop prepping
