TV Chef Troubles, ‘Molto Mario’ Owes Employees, Mad Man Owes IRS
Gordon Ramsey just can’t get a break. He’d better watch his bank balance or keep his money in his mattress just in case the government decides to add to his personal ‘Kitchen Nightmares’ and freeze his accounts. The host of three reality shows owes the IRS over $2,000,000 in back taxes and seems to have no available cash to pay.
This bill is in connection with his New York restaurant ‘Gordon Ramsey at The London’ which he sold since no one in New York wanted to eat at The London. Nor any of his places as Ramsey has sold every U.S. based eatery and is in talks to settle the debt.
Mario Batali and Emeril Lagasse
And Top Chef big guy Mario Batali is facing a lawsuit as two employees of his New York joint ‘Babbo’ have filed a class action deal where they say they were shorted on wages and overtime pay while working at the Greenwich Village location. The two also say they were forced to tip out employees who didn’t deserve of piece of their 15%. ‘Molto Mario’ has made no comment.
