Gordon Ramsay has won the Best Chef in London for the 11th year

Bfeed reports that Gordon Ramsay has won the Best Chef in London for the 11th year. Perhaps the voting panel is just scared of him (if you’ve seen his shows, you know what I mean)?

Gordon Ramsay has done it again, not only has he topped another top chef list, he has won the Best Chef in London for the 11th year running. In the acclaimed Harden’s London Restaurants 2007 Guide that came out yesterday, the Scottish chef again claimed the title of top chef.

Ramsay’s self-named restaurant was voted “Top Gastronomic Experience” by a panel of 8,000 diners for the 2007 guide. Five of celebrity chef Ramsay’s restaurants are in the top 10 of that category, with the number of diners boosted by his celebrity status.

Alton Brown’s Asphalt Adventure

We’re not really sure where the news is here in food tv hosts Alton Brown’s blog, but if you find it, let us know. The Food Network has taken to sending all of their hosts out on the road and out of the studios in order to “connect” with their audiences.

Video: “Feeding Desire” + FREE Taste England guide

Cool Hunting Blog has a great video about the Feeding Desire exhibition.

“Like a history of civilization told through forks, the current exhibit “Feeding Desire” (through 29 October 2006) at New York’s Cooper-Hewitt design museum traces the evolution of utensils from 1500-2005. Including highlights like pre-18th century sharkskin-handled knives (used when inns didn’t provide flatware for guests), and pieces by well-known Scandinavian designers such as Georg Jensen and Arne Jacobsen that exemplify the Danish modern aesthetic, the show reveals the way these quotidian objects of design are also some of the most emotional and intimate. Cool Hunting Video’s 47th episode takes you on a personal guided tour of “Feeding Desire” with Cooper-Hewitt curator Sarah Coffin, who shares her knowledge and passion of Cooper-Hewitt’s extensive collection.

The Cookbook Critic on Beef Bourguignon


The Cookbook Critic on Beef Bourguignon and the Barefoot Contessa (see picture), with a new recipe:

“A quicker treatment than the classic recipe for beef Bourguignon, which requires a long cooking time. This recipe uses slices of beef filet, which cook up very tender and tasty. The downsides: a 3-pound filet of beef is very expensive, and the recipe didn’t make enough sauce.”


In a totally unrelated story, TMZ reports on actress Kate Bosworth, of Superman Returns, that “Bosworth dined at trendy Hollywood restaurant Magnolia on Saturday with four girlfriends — including pop singer Jewel and their stylist Jessica Paster.”

What they say she ate (bread, water and lettuce) doesn’t sound like it recommends the menu , but you might want to check it out. The story was reported also on Famousipod, and Jeff’s Celebrity Gossip Blog.

Not to gossip, but we certainly wouldn’t mind talking to Kate on TasteTV.

Magnolia is located at 6266½ Sunset Blvd., Hollywood, (323) 467-0660
