T10 WHATS UP! December 12 - 18, 2021 Ross felt the need to ask the trio, "Have the three of you thought about relationship counseling?" Ramsay is certainly no stranger to the world of culi- nary travel. In his National Geographic series "Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted," the ce- lebrity chef treks solo all over the world, met by guides in each locale, and getting his hands dirty while learning about unique regional cuisines and ingredients. He has ex- plored high-altitude cooking in Peru's beautiful Sacred Val- ley and received a lesson in harvesting taro root by foot in Hawaii, to name just a couple of his knowledge-expanding experiences. In exchange for his one-of- a-kind experiences, the chef gives back with a lovely feast of thanks in each location, bringing his own style to a menu made with uniquely lo- cal ingredients. Often the most enjoyable part of the se- ries is seeing the culinary au- thority try to get the knack of new (to him) methods and measures. Ramsay is likely the best known of the "European Vaca- tion" travelers this side of the pond, having made a splash with the American versions of his culinary TV shows "Hell's Kitchen" and "Kitchen Night- mares," which began airing in the mid-2000s. While D'Acampo's resume is a bit more varied, having host- ed the game show "Gino's Win Your Wish List" since 2018, he's always kept a foot firmly planted in the food world (his most popular production is likely the docuseries "Gino's Italian Escape"). Sirieix, meanwhile, is best recognized by TV audiences for his appearances on the dat- ing show "First Dates," in which he offers his thoughts on romance while couples' first dates are filmed. The maître d'hôtel is also active in charity work focused on equi- ty between front-of-house and back-of-house workers in the service industry. In other related news, Ram- say and Fox Entertainment an- nounced this past August that they had partnered to create Studio Ramsay Global, which will produce lifestyle and food programming for Fox's plat- forms. This deal expands Ramsay's production compa- ny, Studio Ramsay, which is behind D'Acampo's show "Gi- no's Italian Family Adventure" and the upcoming Ramsay- hosted competition series "Next Level Chef," premiering in January on Fox. Delighted about the new venture, Ramsay said in a Fox news release, "I couldn't be more excited about this new global partnership with Fox. After 16 incredible years [of] working together, this takes Studio Ramsay to the next lev- el!"
