"Some of the former staffers of Gordon Ramsay's Fat Cow restaurant have reached their boiling point.
The controversial British chef and star of TV's "Hell's Kitchen," "MasterChef," "Kitchen Nightmares," and "Hotel Hell" has found himself a part of a new class-action lawsuit, Yahoo! TV has confirmed.
on June 13 by four former hourly employees at Fat Cow, the culinary artist's eatery at the Grove shopping and entertainment complex in Los Angeles, against Gordon Ramsay Los Angeles LP, the Fat Cow LLC, and FCLA LP. The plaintiffs ― Jennifer Becerra, Montinique Dever, Andrea Bourke, and Lauren Benge ― allege that the restaurant stiffed them of minimum hourly wages and overtime pay, failed to provide break times for meals and rest, and didn't pay them in a timely manner, among other violations."
