London-based food critic and Top Chef Masters judge Jay Rayner offered his personal winners and losers of 2010, which included Gordon Ramsay winning the "Why Did the Annoying Schmucks Even Bother? Award" for his restaurant Petrus: "It was dull, expensive and, like the man himself these days, tiresome. The determination to hold on to the Petrus name, given that it a) isn't his and b) had been built up in London by his erstwhile protégé Marcus Wareing, just looked childish. Much like? oh, never mind." [Observer]
