Gordon Ramsey will never cook for Brad Pitt & George Clooney again

Back in the glory days, when George Clooney had his man-crush Brad Pitt all to himself, George decided to take Brad on a special guy’s night (re: date). First, what would Brad Pitt and George Clooney be called if they were a couple? Pooney, right? Not “Clitt” – that’s much too dirty. Although “Borge” would be funny. But I prefer Pooney. Anyhoo, Pooney were in London, so they popped into Claridges, where Gordon Ramsey was chef. Unfortunately, date night got ruined when one of Ramsey’s chefs set the kitchen on fire and the restaurant had to be evacuated.

What’s weird about this story is that Gordon Ramsey was the one to tell it, and he claims this is the reason he deems Clooney and Pitt as “the worst celebrity guests he has ever entertained”. Um… but was it Pooney’s fault! Pooney didn’t come in and set fire to the kitchen… Ramsey’s people did that themselves. The Sun has more:

I can’t see Brad Pitt or George Clooney being welcomed back to any of Gordon Ramsey’s posh restaurants.

The fiery chef has named the two movie hunks as the worst celebrity guests he has ever had to entertain.

The Kitchen Nightmares star revealed the pair popped in for a bite to eat at his Claridges restaurant in London’s Mayfair while filming Ocean’s Eleven in 2001.

But the movie legends left the five-star eatery less than happy after a rare mishap in the kitchen.

He said: “We had George Clooney and Brad Pitt in at Claridge’s when they were filming Ocean’s Eleven.”

“They got upset because my head chef set the kitchen on fire. His port wine reduction caught fire — the canopy went up and then the flames shot up.”

“We had to evacuate the place and George and Brad were not happy.”

“They were standing outside probably muttering ‘f****** chefs’.”

Of course they weren’t happy. Pooney came on a date, and the place caught fire. They didn’t get to eat spaghetti from the same plate like they do in Lady and the Tramp! For the record, I believe Clooney is the Tramp, and Brad is Lady in that little story. How cute is that image?

I’m still struggling to understand the point of Gordon Ramsey’s little anecdote. Just to name-drop? To have a cool Clooney-Pitt story? It’s not even that cool. Just goes to show, you can always count on Gordon Ramsey to turn this kind of incident into the other guy’s fault. Hell’s Kitchen, my foot.

Brad Pitt and George Clooney are shown at the Venice Film Festival on 8/27/08. Gordan Ramsey is shown on 5/18/08. Credit: PRPhotos
