Gordon Ramsay cuts a casual figure in jeans and a classic wax jacket as he chats to friends outside his Lucky Cat restaurant in Mayfair

Gordon Ramsay chatted with friends outside his Lucky Cat restaurant in London’s Mayfair on Friday.

The celebrity chef, 56, looked casual in jeans and a classic wax jacket, enjoying a chat with friends as he strolled outside his posh eatery.

Gordon added a pop of color to his otherwise muted ensemble, with a pair of orange and gray sneakers.

A chic space reminiscent of 1930s Tokyo drinking dens, Lucky Cat features three private dining rooms, serving pan-Asian and robata grilled dishes.

Gordon’s latest outing comes after he finally responded to criticism of his “ultimate sandwich” with a new recipe for a “grilled cheese like no other.”

For his redemption sandwich, the celebrity chef took a ride in a high-octane supercar while his snack was left on the engine.

It was after his “medium rare” grilled cheese filmed in Tasmania for his Uncharted series was ridiculed three years ago.

Gordon told his TikTok viewers, “Last time I made grilled cheese, you guys absolutely beat me up. That’s why I want to redeem myself and give you a sandwich like no other.’

But the ingredients for this sandwich were nothing special: it was the oven that provided the wow factor.

The ‘grill’ of choice was ‘the sexiest oven you’ve ever seen in your entire life’ – the V12, 1200 horsepower engine of an Aston Martin Valkyrie – which he circled to heat through the snack.

He seemed delighted with the result and eventually succeeded in producing a grilled cheese with the main ingredient melted.

In 2020, his attempt was rejected because the luxury cheeses did not melt and the bread was cut too thick and burnt.
