A Manhattan investor slapped his business partner, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, with a $10.8 million lawsuit claiming the famously hot-tempered cook gobbled up profits at their Los Angeles burger joint by treating the eatery like his own fiefdom.
“Gordon Ramsay attempted to run the business and make decisions … similar to his television personality on Hell’s Kitchen – as a dictatorship, without the proper authority and without consent of his partner,” sniffs Rowen Seibel in his new Manhattan civil suit.
Seibel, who also owns the Serendipity chain of restaurants, plunked down $800,000 to open Fat Cow with Ramsay in September 2012.
