Today Tonight & A Current Affair Fight Over Gordon Ramsay…

Riding high on the Gordon Ramsay rollercoaster the Nine Network’s A Current Affair needed a quick lead story on Ramsay; this was in order to have a counter reaction to the story on Ramsay shown on the Seven Network’s Today Tonight. Today Tonight featured a story on Gordon Ramsay as being a hypocrite as his job in the Kitchen Nightmares series is to criticise restaurants on how they run their operation, including their hygiene standards.

Today Tonight claims that Ramsay’s Florida restaurant chef’s were caught not washing their hands, storing cold food above the required temperature, as well as broken door seals and storing cooked and raw food in the same area in the London restaurant.

On the other side of the ledger ACA wanted a feel good story for their star and what better way to do it than promote the fact that Ramsay wants to open up a restaurant up in Australia. News which has been well documented for a few months now, so easily this was one of those stories pulled out from thin air.

Anyway this is just another example of the bitter rivalry between the two networks with Seven originally passing on their option to show Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares and Nine picking it up, making it the hit it is today. Seven will no doubt have more of these trashing stories up its sleave, and I’m sure Nine will have many more feel good ones up its sleave also.
