Dubai’s Verre ready for life after Gordon

Celebrity chef and TV personality Gordon Ramsay is saying goodbye to Dubai. The famously foul-mouthed Briton's company said by email Monday that his consultancy deal with Verre restaurant is coming to an end.

Verre's top chefs say they are working on a new project that will be unveiled soon. Gordon Ramsay Holdings says it scrapped the deal after a regular review of commercial operations.

It didn't elaborate, though a number of Ramsay's eateries have taken substantial financial losses.

Verre opened in the Hilton Dubai Creek hotel in 2001. It was Ramsay's first international restaurant.

Hilton confirmed the deal is ending this month but didn't say what's next for the highly rated restaurant.
