Texas continues to bring in more California companies. Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has moved his restaurant headquarters from California to the Lone Star State, according to a report from the Dallas Morning News. A dedicated team of chefs and businessmen will be based in Las Colinas, a master planned community near Dallas, the outlet added.

Ramsay, the host of the TV show Hell's Kitchen, made the expansion as part of his plan to open more restaurants across North America. The newly Texas-based team plans to launch 18 restaurants in cities including Boston, Miami, and Chicago in 2022, according to the publication.

CEO Normal Abdallah, who will oversee the planned debut of 75 company-owned restaurants over the next five years, told the newspaper that Street Pizza, a restaurant from London, and Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips, which originated in Las Vegas, are both a fit for North Texas someday. He added Ramsay Kitchen may be another addition in the DFW area after it launches in Boston.

According to the report, the Dallas restaurants likely won't open until late 2022 or 2023.

1. Never watched his show

He seems annoying. Him moving his headquarters wherever is not going to change the economy of either state. I never eat a corporate restaurant chains anyway. Mom and Pop places owned by working families are much better

3. He can be an ass, but I really like him for the most part

He really cares about what he does. He did a junior version of his chef challenge show. He was so great with the kids.

During the pandemic, he had been doing these ten minute cooking from home videos on YouTube. They're great, especially on those occasions when his teen daughters take him down a peg.

His restaurant turn-around series is really great.

4. Probably won't watch, he seems like a jerk.

Wouldn't mind having access to a decent fish & chips place, though...
