  • GORDON RAMSAY’S EFFING RESTAUARANT, MAZE, SHUTS THE EFF DOWN IN CAPE TOWN

    02 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone in Business, Cape Town Hotels, Cape Town Restaurants & Bars, Uncool

    When Sol Kerzner enlisted the expertise of the man who is arguably the world’s most popular chef, Gordon Ramsay, he would have felt confident that the star food aspect of his monstrous V&A Waterfront hotel, the One and Only, was buttoned tight.

    Gordon Effin’ Ramsay opened the five star Maze restaurant at the hotel, but alas, without the mouth-cannon himself in regular attendance at the restaurant (he has a number of other Maze branches dotted across the globe), the masses saw no particularly pressing reason to avail themselves of the establishment’s fine fare.

    Combine that with a worldwide recession, and some pretty effing hectic debt, and we have what’s known in the restaurant biz as “closing down”. Bugger, Gord me old mate.

    Apparently the One and Only restaurant will slot in its place.

    How this man is in debt, I don’t know. It’s certainly not a lack of quality. TV executives from here to Singapore are lining up halfway around the block to do a line off this guy’s sunbed-browned derriere. He’s good at what he does.

    Maybe it’s just a case of extending his reach too effin far, gettin his wings clipped by the laws of supply and demand, and all that jazz.

    But if you can’t take the heat, Gordon, get the eff outta the kitchen, yeah?

    Update: Apparently this story was broken by a Cape-based food blog, Spill, on Friday morning. They’ve got an update on the affair, including the details of the chef likely to take over the mantle from Gordy. Check it out.
