Exodus Continues: Celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsay Flees California, Moves Restaurant Headquarters to Texas

Another company has left California for Texas, this time that of British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.

Gordon Ramsay North America is developing a team of chefs and businessmen in Las Colinas, Dallas, the Dallas Morning News first reported.

The Dallas-Fort Worth area is already home to some of the largest restaurant companies in the U.S., and continues to draw new businesses and residents to the area. The region has expanded so much in the past decade that 2020 Census data warranted Texas gaining two congressional seats in the North Texas area.

By contrast, in 2020, for the first time in California’s recorded history, the state reported a population decline. It also lost one congressional seat.
