Although the fifth season of Hell's Kitchen debuts this Thursday on Fox, Gordon Ramsay's empire may be crumbling. According to the New York Post, the celebrity chef's company is "finding life pretty tough at the moment."
In the past couple of months the celebrity chef has faced many challenges. One of his restaurant's lost two Michelin stars and another establishment dramatically cut back its hours. The overall price of dining at a Gordon Ramsay eatery has dropped as well, to only $21 a head. Top that off with two years worth of unpaid back taxes, an alleged 7-year affair, and you end up with one burnt Ramsay. In an attempt to solve his problems, he's fired his public relations guru.
However, if Ramsay's luck runs out as a restaurant chef, he's always got his television career to fall back on.
Do you think Ramsay will survive the setbacks?

i think that he'll figure out a way to get through it all. he had a failing restaurant in the past and he's managed to come out of it on top so this is just a rut but he'll get out of it.
1Maybe he should quit worrying about PR and hire a consultant.
2If only there were somebody out there who specializes in rescuing restaurants that are about to go under with a combination of tough love and constructive criticism. Perhaps televised? If only...
3I heard about this!
4The TV show makes Ramsey, a crude lowlife donkey's posterior. Why would anyone expect his restaurant to be a class act. No one with any self respect would work for such a jerk.
5Gordon Ramsay is a f-ing hero in my eyes! he has built his own empire, he is a terrific TV personality, very entertaining, and the man obvioulsy can cook!
So bloody typical to try to put a person that is successful in the dirt, pathetic!!
GO GORDON!!!
6he has been in the sh*t many times before, he didn't get where he is today without busting his bollocks and working every hour under the sun he has suffered far worse in his career and has come out on top and above everyone else. He will be back out of the sh*t soon i love the way he stamps his authority on his chefs, people fail to realise that it's a completely different job you carn't be mister nice guy and get the best out of them it gives them a buzz gets the adrenaline pumping and thats when they shine.
Long live the great chef.
7love it shoneyjoe - well said!
8Will Ramsay's Success In The Future Decline?
The more successful one is, and the more people under him or her, the less time there is for one man to attend to each worker, hence, simple math dictates that in all probability there will be critical mass. Has he reached it yet? That will depend upon how many "clones" he can generate who can attend to the things he cannot. By clone I obviously mean thoroughly trained assistants who can in turn do what Ramsay does in his stead perfectly.
