Gordon Ramsay at the London LA In Name Only

This bit of news sucks for celeb chef Gordon Ramsay and for all the foodies left in LA. The Gordon Ramsay restaurant at the London West Hollywood has been sold.

Eater LA says the sale happened because Gordon Ramsay has some serious money woes. Apparently, "Kitchen Nightmares" and "Hell's Kitchen" can't pay the restaurant bills. And Eater says the hotel's restaurant was failing to gain some traction.

a source said that crowds have been sparse, and that diners expected to see the celebrity chef: "People would come in and ask for him and it was embarrassing to have to tell them he wasn’t here." In fact, other sources say that things have gotten so slow at the restaurant that staff often outnumbered customers.

The hotel will however keep the Gordon Ramsay name and Ramsay will reportedly have creative control and will have input on the new menu selection. But when you're eating there, definitely do not expect ole Gordo himself to serve you. It's such a shame really as we loved that dining space quite a bit.
