Chef Gordon Ramsay was at Indigo today in the Manulife Centre (Bay and Bloor) in Toronto for a signing of his new book, Gordon Ramsay’s World Kitchen.
Z and I left our condo around 5:30 and began to line up at around 5:50 ish. We spent a long time just standing around, deciding if we were going to get a book signed or just see him…./waste of time.
Chef Ramsay appeared promptly at 6:30pm and announced that he would be opening a restaurant in Montreal, Canada. He then started taking autographs.
I spent the (almost 2 hours in line) leaving the line and picking up Naruto manga’s…I went/skimmed through about 3 volumes, specifically the Pain VS Konoha volumes. Z just stood in line, her patience far greater than my own.
Finally, we made it to the front. The drill was no posing, just candid shots. The indigo guy took two. They’re both terrible.
We got up, Chef Ramsay did one of those European cheek kisses (see photo above) when he greeted Z. He shook my hand and said “Nice hair”. I said “Thanks”
Here’s a shot of our signed book :)
Oh, here’s the Steak Diane Z made. It was good ;)
So jealous! I wouldn’t mind meeting Ramsay!
This just reminds me of when I got Linda Hamilton’s autograph at Fan Expo two years back. I waited for at least an hour in the horribly planned out autograph space, losing track of who was in line and who was trying to walk by. Then when I finally got up to her, I decided to get a picture she had up there signed instead of the one I previously bought because it looked better. I don’t remember what we really talked about aside from the fact that she called me really pretty and I remember thinking what a huge compliment that was coming from THE Sarah Connor.
Then after I went back to meet up with my friends, none of them really knowing the significance of the autograph because apparently Terminator is from the 80’s >.> Although a few months later when one of my friends finally watched the Terminator Series he was super jealous :p
@Karol – It was pretty kool meeting Ramsay, it definitely made my night. I still feel a bit giddy :D
I don’t quite understand how much of an 80s girl you are, despite being born in the 90s. You’re definitely the most generationally misplaced individual that I’ve ever met! If your friends didn’t know Terminator, they’re obviously not the geeks they should have been, going to FanExpo! For shame!
It must have been @#$^%# meeting, did you ask how the !$@#^*&* how he feels. Was he nice or just *&^$###@ miserable? Did he say he was #%$^*&* to be here? Holy #$$^ Was he able to teach you any new words? like $$^*# or #$$^&^$#@$ maybe $$#^*&. I hope he didn’t tell every one to get #$^$& at the end.
I must say The pictures are great! Looked like a lot of fun.
