Update (Aug. 7th, 09): Check out this link featuring Gordon Ramsey on cooking, TV, and personality.

Although there had been a few rumors floating around lately, it’s now official: Everyone’s favourite Chef, Gordon Ramsey announced that the winner of the next season’s Hell’s Kitchen will go to work as head chef of Araxi up in Whistler!
This is exciting because I love going to Araxi! Ridiculously impeccable service and truly unbelieveable food are the norm every time I’ve been there. Araxi is easily in my top 3 favourite restaurants, the other two being Boneta, and La Buca (La Buca is a bit easier on the visa).
I found some more info as well as a preview of the press release over at Scout Magazine here.
[Thanks Jen for the tip]

Hell’s Kitchen has a two hour premiere set to air July 21 Tuesday 8/7c on Fox. Ramsay and the crew shot some scenes at the Whistler restaurant.
