Gordon Ramsay. Legend, right? Only in the world of cooking and TV would someone be so successful for being a bit of a bastard. It's great.
You know that he's worked hard, and the anger is mainly frustration for people not pulling their weight. Everyone loves him.

Now he's bestowed some of his incredible knowledge on us. Thank you, oh mighty Gordon. We are not worthy.
Avoid Specials
To me, a special sounds great. The clue's there in the name. But when Gordon tells you to avoid something, who are we to question his omniscience? He said: "Specials are there to disappear throughout the evening. When they list 10 specials, that's not special."
If Two Of You Are Going For A Meal, Book A Table For Three

This seems like a weird one, but bear with me. Ramsay reckons that if the restaurant believes there's going to be three of you, they'll give you a bigger table. Obvious, but makes sense. He says that this will stop you 'getting stuck in the corner like a doorstop'.
Ask For The 'Bin End List' When Choosing Wine
To get the most reasonably priced bottles, you should ask for the 'bin end' list. According to the Mail, these are the bottles that have scratched labels, vintages that are about to be rotated out or 'poor sellers' that the establishment is attempting to get rid of.

He added: "We have a fear about talking to sommeliers because you think you're going to be ripped off. So get the sommelier to come up with a great glass or great bottle and give him a price. And make sure it's under $30 (£23.50)."
Don't Order Anything They Describe As 'Famous'
Obviously, this sounds like something you'd want to order. When they describe it as 'famous', you're impressed. However, Ramsay explained: "When they turn around and tell me it is the 'famous red lasagne,' who made it famous?
"They start coming up with these terminologies, saying 'and the wicked, famous, best in the country profiteroles.' Who said that? Who named that?"

Fair comment.
