Gordon Ramsay has made so many enemies in Europe and America that now the scabrous chef has decided to flee to Dubai upon his 45th birthday. At least, that’s the gloss we put upon his interview in Time Out Dubai recently. (Did you know there was a Time Out Dubai, by the way? Does Julia Allison write for it?) Ramsay’s plan has a few holes in it, though — the move is contingent upon his restaurants in New York, Paris, and London getting three Michelin stars, which should happen about the same time the post office puts G.G. Allin on a commemorative stamp. We still expect him to slip away to Dubai or someplace like it, especially given the country’s tax-free status and his growing number of moneymaking ventures there (he is said to be planning a gastropub, a bistro, and a cooking school), though how long he’ll stay there, away from the cameras, is something only his ego could answer. (We’re setting the line at three months.)
