F-bomb as often as he exhales and
that he’s been known to dump entire
dinners into the garbage—or, when
proper waste disposal is too inconvenient, has simply dumped the

in Wandsworth, a London borough.
Some couples sleep in different
bedrooms. Some keep his and hers
bathrooms. The Ramsays have
separate kitchens.
“It’s fantastically convenient,
actually,” Ramsay tells Arrive,
describing a home kitchen with an
oven as big as a car, complete with
handles patterned after Ferrari
gearshifts. “I have my own space
where I can work on new recipes
