Gordon Ramsey’s new program “Gordon on Cocaine” has been given the greenlight by ITV, which will be a two-hour long docuseries in which Ramsey ‘strips away cocaine’s glamorous image to expose the dark and deadly side of the drug’ (via Deadline).
He will travel to South and Central America to witness the illegal ‘cooking’ process of the drug being made, as well as meet with hired assassins and a big-time drug smuggler. Ramsey will also be witness to the aftermath of a cocaine-related murder and experience first-hand the harsh reality of ‘war on drugs’ by joining an elite Colombian anti-narcotics unit on a helicopter raid.
“I’ve wanted to understand the ‘world’ of cocaine ever since I lost one of my chefs at my flagship restaurant in Chelsea and I wanted to learn why it’s becoming such an epidemic not just globally but specifically in the culinary world,” said Ramsay. “Understanding and seeing how it’s made, transported, distributed, abused and prevented, has opened my eyes to the dreadfully dark side of cocaine that is simply not talked about and shown me that it’s far from glamorous and harmless. The documentary is gritty and shocking, but importantly an eye opener and hopefully a real education to all those in our industry and beyond. I dare anyone to watch this series and not think again about taking cocaine.”
