Gordon Ramsay's has fake reservations in his restaurant and they are apparently from his rival restaurant.
It appears that 'Master Chef' judge Gordon Ramsay is not free from any form of competition off-camera as his latest London restaurant has become a victim of a "sabotage" plan cooked by his rival, reports Eater.com.
Ramsay recently opened his Heddon Street Kitchen in London and a few days shy from opening night, Gordon Ramsay got reservations from over 100 individuals.
However, opening night came but the restaurant was close to empty. The reason? Ramsay believes their competitor booked over 100 fake reservations, according to The Independent.
"I think there's all that level of envy. Saturday was our first big day opening (of Heddon Street Kitchen). We had 140 on the books and we had 100 no show. So someone's literally online..." Ramsay said.
When asked if he believes it was a deliberate act from his rival, Ramsay says, "Yep, sabotage. It's bad spirit and you see the staff and they are down and frustrated, I was there to pick them up and make sure we stay focused. Now we're going to reconfirm every table."
In another interview on 'The Jonathan Ross Show,' Ramsay levied the allegations but did not reveal his primary suspect.
The latest addition to Gordon Ramsay's restaurant that got fake reservations is just one of the 24 restaurants his company, The Gordon Ramsay Group is operating as of late.
According to Us Weekly, Heddon Street Kitchen - Ramsay's 12th restaurant in London - has "modern European menu."
So what is Gordon Ramsay's response to fake reservations? He says he and his employees have resolved that to avoid a case similar to this one, they will "reconfirm every table" from now on.
Despite what happened, Ramsay stays optimistic for his new restaurant. On Tuesday, he took to Instagram to share his wonderful time in Malibu, California.
"Quick swim to start the day!" he wrote alongside the hashtag "#lovemalibu."
