Gourmet feud
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Not since the chief executive of The Times launched a series of articles to complain about the cheeses in a London restaurant have we had such a row between publisher and chef as Gordon Ramsay's spat with the AA. The subject of the broken crockery in the kitchen this time is that perennial problem of getting a decent table. Which of of us wouldn't want to wreak our revenge for the humiliation of being refused a place at a fashionable eating house?
Roger Wood, the AA's managing director, reacted by preventing Mr Ramsay's restaurant getting a fifth rosette from the AA's restaurant guide. The chef craved it, the editor of the guide thought he deserved it, Mr Wood wrote to the AA Merits Award Committee to undermine it. End result: an editor who has resigned from the guide and a court injunction sought by the chef. What ingredients. What flavouring. What row flambé. All we need now is the runny cheese.
