Candace Braun Davison and Esquire present 14 Things You Don’t Know About Gordon Ramsay.  Here are three of my favorites…
2. He’s Just As Serious About Fitness As He Is Food.
Ramsay has participated in more than a dozen marathons, three ultra-marathons, three half-Ironmans (which span 70.3 miles, swimming, biking and running) and competed in the Ironman World Championship twice.The championship, held in Hawaii, is known for being incredibly grueling—it combines a 2.4-mile swim with a 122-mile bike ride and a full marathon (26.2 miles). While he completed the race in 14 hours in 2013, he had to drop out of the competition this past year due to dehydration, according to TMZ. Ramsay says he’ll be back in 2016 though.

6. He’s One of the 25 Highest-Paid Celebrities Out There.
The Hell’s Kitchen star is No. 21, technically, raking in $60 million last year, according to Forbes. That makes him the wealthiest celebrity chef out there.

13. He’s Got A Great Trick for Phenomenal Oatmeal.
Ramsay often starts the day with a bowl of oatmeal—just water, salt and oats—but when he really wants to take breakfast to the next level, he does this:

“The night before, put 3 to 4 bananas in the oven on a pilot light. And the next day, squeeze the bananas into almond milk, bring it to a boil, then add the oatmeal and dried cranberries, and you’ll have the most amazing oatmeal for breakfast,” he wrote in his AMA.
