Gordon Hamersley is an American chef based in Boston and cookbook author.
By 1979 he had moved to Los Angeles, where he worked in Ma Maison under the supervision of chef Wolfgang Puck.
In 1982, he moved with his wife Fiona to Nice, France where they shopped and ate French food.
Four years later, he and his wife Fiona opened Hamersley's Bistro on Tremont Street where they served French cuisine.
She told me to ‘Stay true to my instincts and don’t be affected by trends for trends sake.’ In the early days (of Hamersley’s Bistro), she used to call me at home the morning after eating at my restaurant with a list of things she felt should be better.
[7] Hammersley's Bistro became very popular among eaters and received positive reviews while Food & Wine magazine called the owner one of the "Ten Best New Chefs for 1988".
