Gordon Ramsay isn’t exactly known for his warm and fuzzy personality, so it was perhaps uncharacteristic of the celebrity chef to recently take it upon himself to congratulate a newly engaged couple who were dining at one of his restaurants. The only problem, as he relayed at the recent Vegas Uncork’d food and wine festival, is that the gentleman hadn’t actually popped the question yet. Whoooooops.
Three weeks ago, one of my maitre d’s asked me if I would go over to table seven, who were celebrating their engagement.
So I said: ‘Send two nice glasses of champagne over to them. When the champagne arrived I went over to congratulate them – and he hadn’t asked her!
I would not want to be on the receiving end of the “dressing down” the waiter got, who had apparently mixed up his tenses, but hey, there are worse proposal stories other than having Gordon Ramsay bungle it up. Like getting proposed to in a McDonald’s drive thru or at Walmart and then promptly getting arrested. Take your pick from a veritable array of stories found in the hallowed archives of Uproxx, really. This proposal sounds positively magical in comparison!
