Every dog has its day.....

Are the days of the celebrity-chef restaurant chains numbered?

Last week I reported that Gordon Ramsay Holdings overseas ventures lost over £8m and that he was quietly trying to sell The Warrington. Also in the news was Paul Heathcote pulling the plug on Simply Heathcotes in Liverpool - now he's been forced to close his Leeds Olive Press Restaurant too; and more bad news for our Gord as his former restaurant director, Ben Crofton, has moved to The Square in London as general manager.
