Pengo fights back

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Gordon Ramsay’s recent autobiography "Humble Pie" ticked all the right boxes for the genre. It charted his escape from a tough working class background and was used as a vehicle to settle scores with people who’d ever dared to cross him. Ian "Pengo" Pengelley was one individual at the sharp end of Gordon Ramsay’s tongue. Never one to mince his words, on page 201 he called his venture with Pengelley called Pengelleys "a total fucking flop". We also read that the kitchen was "in total fucking chaos" and that Pengo "used to wear flip-flops into work". The cad. Well, now Pengo has started the fight back. We hear that when Ramsay was at the ill-fated Pengelley’s restaurant for a pre-launch menu tasting he turned to Pengelley and exclaimed: "This is great, what kind of fish is this?" You’ve guessed it; it wasn’t fish but Chiang Mai Sausage. Apparently Pengo said nothing because he is a "nice guy". Nothing to do with making your new boss look a bit silly then?
