It certainly hasn't been the best year for either Heston Blumenthal or Gordon Ramsay, two of England's most famous chefs. Blumenthal endured a food poisoning scare that shut down his famed Fat Duck restaurant and Ramsay flirted with bankruptcy. But now both chefs have some good news to celebrate: they were voted the two best chefs in UK according to the Good Food Guide. Blumenthal took the top slot earning ten out of ten points for the second year in a row for his Fat Duck restaurant. Ramsay was given nine points for his Restaurant Gordon Ramsay on Royal Hospital Road, in Chelsea, London also the same rating as last year. No other chefs scored as high.

Although I have never personally eaten at any of Gorden Ramsey’s establishments, this surprises me. Due to his outlandish TV appearances, I always considered him the Donald Trump of the food world. He is fun to watch but probably a mediocre chef at best, like Trump is fun to watch but a terrible businessman.

However to be rated with the likes Heston Blumenthal is truly remarkable, and perhaps I have been wrong in my assumptions. Kudos to them both.
