This is so sad.

Chef Ramsay's brother in heroin-trial rage

Chef Ramsay's brother in heroin-trial rage
RHIANNON EDWARD

THE younger brother of Gordon Ramsay spat and swore at reporters yesterday as his trial for heroin possession opened on the Indonesian resort island of Bali.

Ronald Ramsay, 39, who faces a maximum ten-year prison sentence if convicted, also begged for the support of his family, said Erwin Siregar, defending.

"Please ask his brother, Gordon, to contact him," Mr Siregar told reporters after his client lashed out at journalists who gathered at the courthouse. "He needs his help."

The defendant was escorted to Denpasar District Court in handcuffs and sat quietly as prosecutors told judges that police found 100 milligrams of heroin in his pocket during a search outside a Bali supermarket in February.

Ronald intends to plead guilty, Mr Siregar said, arguing that the drugs were not for distribution.

"I will seek as short a sentence as possible... months," he said.

Under Indonesia's tough drug laws Ramsay could face a maximum ten-year jail sentence, although penalties are generally less for possession of small quantities of drugs for personal use.

Traffickers are routinely sentenced to death; 37 foreigners and 97 Indonesians were on death row last year, most of them for drug-related crimes.

Last October, Ronald Ramsay disappeared from his care home after a two-month stay. A syringe and assorted drug paraphernalia was found in the abandoned property in Taunton, Somerset, raising fears that he had once again turned to drugs.

His attempts to kick heroin have been publicly supported by his brother. When the award-winning chef first revealed his brother's problem in 2000, he gave him a job in his London restaurant and provided him with a flat.

Gordon Ramsay also paid for treatment at the £1,000 a-week Priory Clinic and attended his brother's counselling sessions.

Later that year, after Ronald left rehab and was arrested for shoplifting, Gordon told a reporter: "It's the one thing I feel I've failed at. I find it hard knowing that, despite my success, there's nothing I can do to help".

I just saw Jen Y (she teaches pastry arts at the college where I work). She's engaged to the exec chef at the restaurant where she works as the pastry chef. She's such a sweetheart in person!

Isn't Ramsay doing a different show sometime during this TV season? Fixing restaurants / kitchens that have gone bad. Or maybe it's been cancelled because he's helping his brother?

Color, I think Kitchen Nightmares (or whatever the American version is called), starts tomorrow night.

Lol! No. When you see famous people in real life, they are just normal people.

I did notice that his hunch is more noticable in real life than it looks on tv.

They chose that restaurant because the chef there had made it as a contestant to be on Hell's Kitchen, but he couldn't go because they wouldn't let him bring his young son out to Las Vegas to stay w/ him. So, I've been told.

I have a friend who was a waitress there and worked that night. I had stopped after work at a local bar and her husband and another friend were going there and I tagged along.

They also filmed at the other store my boss owns, when they were shopping for food. I remember when the contract came over the fax.

I hope they show some of that footage. It will be fun to see them on tv. I asked the manager how it went. He said it was pure mayhem and they didn't know what they were doing. It sounded like they most likely won't use it. But then again, I have to consider the source. lol!

I just got to hear Jen Yemola speak. She has a very interesting story. Right now she's staying put where she is, although other contestants moved out to LA. She's very sincere about bringing good things to the area.

She's a graduate of our community college and teaches there as an adjunct; she said the thing she took from her community college education to Hell's Kitchen was a solid knowledge of the basics. She had been baking cakes for five years prior to going on the show, so she went back to her old texts and notes to refresh everything from saute techniques to vegetable cooking times. I thought that was a great testament to the foundation a community college education gives.

Most exciting part for me -- I won the raffle for a Jenntastic Sweets Cake! She's starting a custom baking company, and I can order a cake from her any time in the next year.
