Gordon Ramsay visited these Arizona restaurants and ranches. Here's how they're doing now
Despite growing up in England, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is no stranger to the Grand Canyon State. Ramsay filmed some iconic restaurant renovations here — including the Amy's Baking Company episode of "Kitchen Nightmares" that will forever live in infamy — but he's also gotten a taste of more than just Southwestern food. Ramsay rode a horse for the first time ever in northern Arizona. He also drove an ATV through the desert in Tucson while filming an episode of "Food Stars" in 2022. Most recently, Ramsay visited the state in early 2025 to feature two metro Phoenix restaurants on his new show "Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service." Here's a look at five restaurants Ramsay has visited in Arizona — and how they're doing now. In Episode 2 of "Secret Service," which aired May 28, Ramsay visited Caffe Boa Ahwatukee, an Italian restaurant that opened in 1995 after the owners of Caffe Boa Tempe sold naming rights to a former business partner. The two restaurants are no longer affiliated. Patrick and Jenni Larson bought the Ahwatukee Foothills location with a business partner in 2021. The couple's professional and personal struggles are chronicled with great drama in the episode. The restaurant remains open, as of the time of writing. Details: 5063 E. Elliot Road, Phoenix. 480-893-3331, Mrs. White's is the star of Episode 3 of "Secret Service," which aired on June 4. The Phoenix soul food restaurant opened in 1964 in the historically Black neighborhood of Eastlake Park. Founder Elizabeth White is still alive at 102 and has passed down the restaurant to first her son, and then her granddaughter Kianna White, who is the current manager. The restaurant remains open, as of the time of writing. Details: 808 E. Jefferson St., Phoenix. 602-262-9256, The 2013 "Kitchen Nightmares" episodes featuring this Scottsdale patisserie and Italian restaurant made history as the only time Ramsay has ever walked away from a restaurant. Owners Amy and Salomon "Samy" Bouzaglo gained national attention by horrifying the internet with their behavior on the show, which included cussing at customers and confiscating worker tips. After the episode aired, the couple made a series of Facebook posts insulting critics in all-caps, which launched them into even further virality and sparked an article from Forbes about things business owners should never do on social media. The physical location of Amy's Baking Company closed in 2015, but Amy still operates an Instagram baking account under the same name. Named one of the best pizza spots in the United States by the New York Times, Pizzeria Bianco, run by iconic local chef Chris Bianco, is one of Phoenix's most famous restaurants. Ramsay proclaimed himself a fan after eating there in 2023 while in town for Super Bowl LVII. "Chris' pizzeria — they say it's the best in America and one of the best pizzas in the world, and I can absolutely vouch for that," Ramsay told TastingTable. "It was brilliant." The restaurant remains open, as of the time of writing. Details: 623 E. Adams St., Phoenix. 602-258-8300, While technically not a restaurant, this cattle ranch near Kingman, Arizona, served Ramsay a memorable meal. The chef visited in 2019 to film an episode of "Gordon, Gino and Fred's Road Trip," a British travel and food show. Rafter S owners Lori and Emmet Sturgill taught Ramsay and his two co-hosts to ride horses and rope cattle. Rafter S organized a meal for Ramsay that included rattlesnake, fried bull testicles and Arizona beef in foil, slow-cooked in a pit in the ground for a day. The ranch is still operating, as of the time of writing. Details: 12375 N. Holstein Drive, Kingman. 928-303-1205, Reach the reporter at Follow @reia_reports on Instagram.

Paul Ainsworth gives honest verdict on Gordon Ramsay after working together
Paul Ainsworth gives honest verdict on Gordon Ramsay after working together Paul Ainsworth, who has worked in some of the best kitchens in the UK, including with the likes of Gordon Ramsay and Marcus Wareing, has given a rare insight into his relationship with the Hell's Kitchen star Paul Ainsworth with Gordon Ramsay (Image: GETTY ) Michelin star chef Paul Ainsworth has opened up about his unexpected encounter with Gordon Ramsay. Paul is the creative force behind Number 6 in Padstow, Cornwall, a restaurant that earned a Michelin star in 2013 and boasts four AA Rosettes. He recently joined Tom Kerridge and Chris Stark at The Butcher's Tap and Grill in Chelsea for their podcast Proper Tasty, where he looked back on his culinary journey. Tom was the first person Paul contacted when his Padstow restaurant was awarded a Michelin star. However, decades earlier, he had met the individual who would ignite his career. Paul was in Pimlico when he spotted Gordon pulling up to a phone booth in a silver Golf. Encouraged by his friends, he "waited for ages" for Gordon to emerge so he could seize his opportunity. Telling the full story of how he met the Kitchen Nightmares star, Paul revealed: "Do you know what? In a phone box in Pimlico outside the gallery pub. "It was a Sunday - I knew I was wanting to make that move - and one of the boys was like 'That's Gordon Ramsay in a phone box'. Because you knew who he was in the industry - and he pulled up in this silver golf And I just went outside the phone box and waited for ages and eventually he came out and he is a presence - and he was also as well- a real unit back in those days. Chef Paul at No 6 in Padstow (Image: Cornish Guardian ) Article continues below "And he gave me the kitchen phone number and said ask for Mark Askew and we'll go from there and that was how it all started." Reflecting on the start of his career, Ainsworth recalled: "So I moved to London in 1988 and started with the late great Gary Rhodes - from there I went to work for Ramsay and from there to Marcus Wareing and Marcus Wareing to Padstow." When discussing Ramsay's influence, he didn't hesitate to confirm it was "100%" fair to call Ramsay a mentor and summarised his opinion of the renowned chef with one word: "phenomenal". Regarding his experience working at Royal Hospital Road, Ainsworth expressed his astonishment: "The best way I can describe going into Royal Hospital Road – which is what you call if you're in the industry restaurant Gordon Ramsay – was I'd just never seen ingredients like this." He shared his initial shock upon encountering high-quality produce: "Up until that point, I had only seen sort of Greek farmed Seabass fillets. I had never seen a wild bass coming in at like 2 kilos and being cut into beautiful laser cut pavets." Ainsworth was equally impressed by "80-gram lobster raviolis", stating that the standout aspect for him "was just the ingredients" and how "it was surreal." Ainsworth's amazement extended beyond the ingredients to the pasta itself, saying: "That was where I saw pasta work and Gordon was obviously in the kitchen then and watching him make tortellinis and raviolis. Article continues below "To work in a restaurant and be there for over a year and then go on to see it win a Michelin star made me realise the rarity of such an accomplishment. To be part of that environment, witnessing the determination, it underscored that everything was about securing that third Michelin star."
