Lisa Vanderpump Talks Going Toe-to-Toe With Gordon Ramsay for Fox’s ‘Food Stars’ and the Futures of ‘Vanderpump Rules’ and ‘Villa’

Lisa Vanderpump and Gordon Ramsay have been friends and rivals in the restaurant scene for years, and will now compete on Season 2 of "Food Stars."

In a twist for Season 2 of “Food Stars,” which debuts Wednesday at 9 p.m., food and beverage entrepreneurs will pitch themselves and their products, services or business ideas to Ramsay and reality TV star and restauranteur Vanderpump, who will then choose contestants to build their respective teams who then go through “Business Bootcamp.” Come the finale, one contestant will win a $250,000 prize and either Ramsay or Vanderpump will win bragging rights for being the victor’s mentor. It was good natured — I can’t ruin how the dynamic changes through the series — but I was in danger of becoming kind of obnoxious if I won anything, because I was gloating. One thing she does know about her reality TV future is that, following Season 2 of “Food Stars,” she’d want to bring Ramsay onto one of her shows for a change.
