Gordon James Ramsay, OBE (born 8 November 1966) is a British chef, television personality and restaurateur. He has been awarded 13 Michelin stars in total and currently holds 12.
Ramsay is known for presenting TV programmes about competitive cookery and food, such as the British series Hell's Kitchen, The F Word, Ramsay's Best Restaurant, and Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, along with the American versions of Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, and MasterChef.
Gordon Ramsay was born in Johnstone, Renfrewshire, Scotland, and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England from the age of 5. Ramsay is the second of four children; he has an older sister, Diane, a younger brother, Ronnie, and a younger sister, Yvonne. Ramsay's father Gordon (died 1997) was, at various times, a swimming pool manager, a welder, and a shopkeeper; his mother, Helen Cosgrove, and Yvonne have been nurses. Ramsay has described his early life as "hopelessly itinerant", as his family moved constantly due to the aspirations and failures of his father, who was violent. In 1976, they finally settled in Stratford-upon-Avon where he grew up in the Bishopton area of the town. In past public interviews, Ramsay has declined to describe his father as an alcoholic; however, his autobiography, Humble Pie, describes his early life as being marked by abuse and neglect from this "hard-drinking womaniser". At the age of 16, Ramsay moved out of the family house into a flat in Banbury.
Rachael Domenica Ray (born August 25, 1968) is an American television personality, businesswoman, celebrity chef and author. She hosts the syndicated talk and lifestyle program Rachael Ray and three Food Network series, 30 Minute Meals, Rachael Ray's Tasty Travels and $40 a Day. Ray wrote cookbooks based on the 30 Minute Meals concept, and launched a magazine, Every Day with Rachael Ray, in 2006. Ray's television shows have won two Daytime Emmy Awards.
Ray was born in Glens Falls, New York. Her parents are Elsa Scuderi, an Italian (Sicilian) American, and James Ray, who is of French, Scottish and Welsh descent. She moved to Cape Cod, Massachusetts where her family owned four restaurants. When Ray was 8, her family moved to Lake George, New York. Her mother managed restaurants in upstate New York.
In 1995 Ray moved to New York City. One of her first jobs there was at the candy counter at Macy's, where she eventually managed the fresh foods department. She later helped open a New York City market. Moving back to upstate New York, Ray managed Mister Brown's Pub at The Sagamore, a hotel on Lake George. From there, she became a buyer at Cowan & Lobel, a gourmet market in Albany. Ray credits the concept of 30 Minute Meals to her experience working at the store, where she met people who were reluctant to cook. She taught a course in which she showed how to make meals in less than thirty minutes. With the success of her "30 Minute Meals" classes, WRGB (the local CBS TV affiliate) asked her to appear in a weekly segment on their newscasts. This, along with a public radio appearance and the publication of her first book, led to a Today show spot and her first Food Network contract in 2001.
Guy Fieri ( /ˈɡaɪ fiːˈɛri/; born January 22, 1968 as Guy Ferry) is a United States restaurateur, author, television personality, and game show host. He co-owns five restaurants in California and is widely known for his television series on the Food Network.
By mid-2010, the Food Network had made Fieri the "face of the network." In 2010, the New York Times reported that Fieri brought an "element of rowdy, mass-market culture to American food television," and that his "prime-time shows attract more male viewers than any others on the network."
Although Fieri has no training as a chef, he worked at various restaurants during high school, and then went on to manage and own restaurants. After graduation in 1987, he went to work for Stouffer's, developing restaurant concepts in Southern California and managing their flagship restaurant in Long Beach, California. After three years, he became District Manager of Louise's Trattoria, managing six locations along with recruiting and training for the restaurants. Fieri attended the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Hotel Management in 1990.

Rewriting her dream in the big city.
Brett Eisenberg: Is this all some sort of experiment, see how long it takes to seduce a young girl?::Archie Knox: Seduce? What would the point of that be?
Nurse: Just a minute miss, sorry to bug you. But your father hasn't filled out his dinner menu yet. Would you mind?::Brett Eisenberg: He's not my father.::Nurse: Excuse me?::Brett Eisenberg: I said he's not my father. He's my boyfriend. I have sex with him!::Nurse: Either way he eats, right? [Brett walks into the hospital room, pulls back the curtain, and we see Archie in bed]::Archie Knox: [using a high pitch, mimicking voice] He's my boyfriend. I have sex with him!
Archie Knox: Congratulations are in order if you're breaking bread with Brett. Looks like you're planning to sign with Gitlin and Stern?::Cas Coyote: Well, we haven't actually settled on anything yet.::Archie Knox: Well, you better hurry. You have before you the savviest editrix in this town. I've tried to hire her myself for the last couple of years, and she turned me down. You know why? She say's I'm a letch.::[both laugh]::Cas Coyote: Archie, you are a letch.
Archie Knox: [sitting with Brett's family after meeting them for the first time] Well, I do appreciate the attempt you've all made at avoiding the obvious. It was a worthy effort. But let's cut to the chase, shall we. Robert, how old are you?::Robert Eisenberg: 57.::Archie Knox: And I'm 50. So, that makes me younger than Robert. So everybody feeling good about that right now?::Ethan Eisenberg: I am very relieved. How old were you when Brett was in third grade?::Brett Eisenberg: Grow up Ethan.::Ethan Eisenberg: Brett skipped the third grade.::Ethan Eisenberg: [imitates a buzzer] Well played.
Archie Knox: Take as much time as you need.::Brett Eisenberg: I will.::Archie Knox: But don't forget that I need you too. More than I've ever needed anybody before. [starts to drive away and then reverses to be next to her again] Because you may not think so, but you're different.::Brett Eisenberg: From all the rest? [Archie nods and drives away]
Robert Eisenberg: Is Archie alcoholic?::Brett Eisenberg: Yeah::Robert Eisenberg: Look, you know I don't like to get involved in your life. But this is the reason that I don't... That I'm worried about this relationship with this man. If Archie isn't going to take care of himself someone else will. I don't want you to have to spend your life that way.
Robert Eisenberg: You're Brett Eisenberg, MD.::Brett Eisenberg: MD?::Robert Eisenberg: My daughter.
Ethan Eisenberg: I know I'm not dad, but if you ever need to talk to someone I could try to manufacture something that sounds lucid.::Brett Eisenberg: [pause] The only thing that I can't bear, that's killing me... Is the thought that he was worried about me when he died.::Ethan Eisenberg: He wasn't worried.::Brett Eisenberg: How do you know?::Ethan Eisenberg: I was here the morning that dad got the phone call from Mickey. Well, after he hung up the phone, I told him would gladly assassinate Archie, if that's what he wanted. You know a dieing wish vendetta type of thing.::Brett Eisenberg: Very comforting.::Ethan Eisenberg: Anyway, he said, "Thanks, but I think Brett can take care of herself."::Brett Eisenberg: He really said that?::Ethan Eisenberg: Yeah. That's straight from the words of Robert Eisenberg, MD.::Brett Eisenberg: MD... My Dad.
Archie Knox: Why won't you marry me?::Brett Eisenberg: Are you asking me to explain?::Archie Knox: Yes, I am.::Brett Eisenberg: When I look at you, I see a teacher. But when you look at me, you see a student. Because you like to run away. It's part of who you are. Because, in the end, a girl can't grow up until she looses a father and leaves an Archie.
Brett Eisenberg: I know, it's nuts, but when I'm with him I fell like a better version of myself... You know? Funnier, smarter, sexier.

That's what you like, isn't it? Civilized people, polite ladies with pedigrees who look good at the opera, and never make you laugh too hard, and never make you feel too much. I've had a lot of time to think about this and don't tell me it's the war, when I've been waiting for six months to hear whether you're dead or alive and you waltz into a nightclub.::Ed Leland: Linda, I came in last night and I was going to call you.::Linda Voss: Oh, go to hell.::[He grabs her arm]::Linda Voss: Careful, Ed.

You did love me, didn't you? I couldn't have been wrong.::Ed Leland: You weren't.::Linda Voss: Well then how do you stop, or want to?::[crying]
Linda Voss: If you don't let me go, I'll quit!::Ed Leland: I'll miss you.
Horst Drescher: [chewing raw dove] Delicious. Makes me feel like a volf. [laughs] [then gulps with a sick look on his face]
Franze-Otto Dietrich: [from car to Linda Voss who is walking alone and has just been fired by Horst Drescher] It's me, ze zoup.

Linda Voss: To my father I spoke German. But he warned me to keep this language a secret, because outside of our neighborhood in Queens New York, if people heard me speak German they would either think that I was a Nazi sympathizer, or they would know I was a Jew.

She doesn't speak English.::Ed Leland: She's lived here for...::Linda Voss: My sixth grade teacher used to do that.::Ed Leland: Beg your pardon?::Linda Voss: Used to start a question and not finish it.
