Gordon Ramsay actually became famous because of his shows on television. He was able to show a different side to cooking. In the past, chefs always show that they are cool and collected in front of the camera. Ramsay is the exact opposite. He shows that he is angry, frustrated, and there are times when he is downright disrespectful to all of the other aspiring chefs.
He has starred in so many series already that people already know that the F word is connected to him in every way. Aside from his persona, he is also known as a renowned chef in London but admittedly, it is his appearance on television that made him popular.
