Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has earned a dozen Michelin stars and oversees a growing chain of gourmet restaurants around the globe. So, now living in Los Angeles as he prepares to open yet another restaurant while shooting episodes for "Hell's Kitchen," where does Ramsay's refined palate lead him with hunger hits? Answer: In-N-Out.

In a story with the Scottish newspaper the Sunday Mail, Ramsay proclaims his love for American-style fast food while wolfing down two In-N-Out cheeseburgers:

"In-N-Out burgers were extraordinary. I was so bad, I sat in the restaurant, had my double cheeseburger then minutes later I drove back round and got the same thing again to take away."

By the way, Ramsay likes his In-N-Out burgers animal style.
