Hillary Dixler Canavan is Eater's restaurant editor and the author of the publication's debut book, Eater: 100 Essential Restaurant Recipes From the Authority on Where to Eat and Why It Matters (Abrams, September 2023). Her work focuses on dining trends and the people changing the industry — and scouting the next hot restaurant you need to try on Eater's annual Best New Restaurant list.

Looks like shouty British chef Gordon Ramsay has even more legal trouble on his hands. TMZ reports that Ramsay's Los Angeles restaurant The Fat Cow is being sued for not paying a contractor in full. The restaurant's outfitter claims that Ramsay spent $191,235.24 on equipment like the restaurant's range, hoods, dishwasher, fryers, and fridges. According to the suit, $45,350.35 remains unpaid. There has not yet been a statement from Ramsay's reps. Maybe Ramsay will just turn it over and say "I've been meaning to do that" like he did with The Spotted Pig UK trademark.
