Gordon Ramsay Running Quotations

I don't run restaurants that are out of control. We are about establishing phenomenal footholdings with talent.

I've never been a hands-on dad. I'm not ashamed to admit it, but you can't run a restaurant and be home for tea at 4:30 and bath and change nappies.

When you're a chef, you graze. You never get a chance to sit down and eat. They don't actually sit down and eat before you cook. So when I finish work, the first thing I'll do, and especially when I'm in New York, I'll go for a run. And I'll run 10 or 15k on my - and I run to gain my appetite.

Running started as a way of relaxing. It's the only time I have to myself. No phones or e-mails or faxes.

The secret is to make sure the business is running to perfection, with or without me.
