In One Ear: Better lodgings are a film away
Published 5:00 pm Thursday, June 20, 2013
According to The Daily News in Longview, Wash., there was a temperamental, internationally known potty-mouth chef hanging about in Longview early this month (http://tinyurl.com/montiramsey).
GORDON RAMSEY, pictured, was filming his Fox TV show, HOTEL HELL there. According to the shows website (www.fox.com/hotel-hell), the premise is that he will travel across the country to fix horrid hotels, awful inns and just plain bad bed and breakfasts.
The target of his renovation and makeover was the MONTICELLO HOTEL, also pictured, whose owner, PHILLIP LOVINGFOSS, seemingly went into such a tizzy he was stopped for suspicion of driving while intoxicated, right in front of his own hotel, near the film crew trailers, and wound up spending a night in jail. Its anyones guess whether or not that particular little moment in the sun will be included in the show when it airs.
Other stories in The Daily News revealed the rest of Longview was abuzz while the famous chef was there, too. Fans were desperately trying to catch a glimpse of Ramsey, who delighted the locals by popping up unexpectedly around town, and even posing for photos
There was even an unverified claim that he was seen getting on a fishing boat in ASTORIA one Saturday morning. Anyone know if thats true?
No word yet on when the show will air.
