Straight Chef says 'No' to Queer Eyeby J.A. Lopata
A prominent British celebrity Chef, who will soon be premiering his cooking show “Hell’s Kitchen” in American this fall, has reportedly down an offer for a makeover on “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.” The 37-year-old former football (soccer) player shares cooking secrets with an irreverent sense of humor, thus “Hell’s Kitchen.” His reality television series to be aired on Fox TV, features contestants who want to make it in cooking. The US winner will be provided their own restaurant in Hollywood, at a price tag of over two million dollars. When asked why he would turn down an offer to be “Queer Eye”’s special celebrity episode Ramsey responded, “I’m happy with my look and style. I’ve a huge gay following so I must be doing something right,” according to UK’s Brand Republic.
