Gordon Ramsay sells his trendy eatery
Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has sold his Los Angeles restaurant -- Gordon Ramsay at the London West Hollywood -- to the hotel's operator, LXR Luxury Resorts, according to the Daily Mail.
The Michelin three-star chef's financial woes made headlines last week after his company, Gordon Ramsay Holdings, broke agreements with lenders to secure a loan. According to the Guardian, Ramsay and Chief Executive Chris Hutcheson (who is also his father-in-law) have said they would help the company pay debts if necessary.

The L.A. restaurant opened in June.
