/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>6878029
I've eaten at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay. It was incredible. Easily the best food I've ever eaten.

>>6878029
I've eaten at two of his restaurants in Vegas and one in LA. STEAK in Vegas was his most "fancy". It was good. Steak was cooked perfectly. It was also pretty fucking expensive. About $335 for just me and my gf. I think the cheapest cut of steak was like $65. Will visit again though.

>>6878081
>$335 for just me and my gf
was it worth it?

>>6878081
Steak is expensive, but considering it doesn't really have any accolades, thats a very high price.

>>6878153
Yes. The restaurant was pretty much perfect. Wait staff was knowledgable, super attentive without being invasive. Great beer and cocktail selection. Environment was great. Also all the waitresses are literally models. Will go back when I visit Vegas again later this year.

>>6878186
Also yeah considering that $65 is just for the steak with no sides, sides starting at like $15. one complete dish does end up costing a lot

>>6878239
sounds like heaven

>tfw I spend 300 bucks and then hear most of his food is prepared off site

>>6878246
>then hear most of his food is prepared off site
if this was fact, wouldn't that invalidate his entire career?

>>6878246
I've heard this but have never seen actual evidence of this.

>>6878029

wasted potential

>>6878239
Restaurant Gordon Ramsay cost the equivalent of around $500 for two people at current exchange rates. Few years ago so probably gone up in price now.

I've never seen evidence of Bigfoot but I think we can all agree he's real

It was his cheap touristy crap restaurants in London. None of his top-end ones ever did it.

Does Ramsay have a thing for old black wymyn or something?

He's always so sweet to them no matter what

>>6878337
You haven't experienced top tier cuisine until you've been to guy fieri's time square restaurant l. Shit is INCREDIBLE.

>>6878339
White guilt is a hell of a drug

>>6878239
>Also all the waitresses are literally models
are they hot

>>6878239
>Also all the waitresses are literally models.

It's Vegas. They're all ex-stripers. Soon to be hookers.

>>6878339
He's British. That's years of guilt and cultural conditioning.

>>6878339
If I were him I'd act that way too. Can you imagine what would happen if he treated them the same as everyone else? He'd be sued, labeled a raciss and all kids of shit. The backlash would be devastating.

Now that's what would happen if he treated them like everyone else.
Like everyone else
Everyone else
As in equal.

They've taken it way too far, to the point where if they aren't treated special its all of a sudden racist.

I'll head back to /pol/ now

I went to araxi in Whistler and his burger place in Vegas.
>tfw your parents took you to nice places before you could appreciate the food

>tfw I went to ABC's the day before Ramsay got there
>tfw the manager threatened to spit in my face if I didnt get the fuck out

>>6878539
I really don't think he would.

Never heard of anyone on /ck/ eating food that was personally prepared by Ramsey.

>>6878339
probably just nice to old people

I seriously doubt he's racially aware

>>6878710
>I seriously doubt he's racially aware
that's so cute

Gordon is so fucking cute

>>6878029
Agreed very good food
VERY VERY HIGH QUALITY.
I remember hearing alot of his anger fuel tirades are because he strives for the best. and will never put out anything else...also likes to please his customers with what HE knows is best, not what THEY think is best.

He has several restaurants in the London metro and, for efficiency, he owns one centrally-located prep kitchen that does some of the more time-consuming prep and delivers. Some sauces, breads, etc.

I was in RGR in NY and he was in the kitchen, but not shouting at anyone. Food was superb; this was back when it had two M stars.

He's also cooked with me in my own kitchen and it was grand.

>>6878784
>He's also cooked with me in my own kitchen and it was grand.
this makes me not want to believe anything you have said

>>6878788

okay, so don't.

He's honestly one of the best chefs in the world. I dined at one of his restaurants in Las Vegas. Pretty spectacular.

I love his food not only for the taste but because he is vehemently "anti-pretentious". He's not one of those chefs that will mound 5000 edible flowers and stupid garnishes and shit on his food and claim that his food is art or some shit. He's very down to earth and simple in his food, it's just amazingly good.


I have way more respect for him than any of the hacks on food network who have shilled away their souls.

>>6878795
The point about anti-pretentious is very true.

When I ate there, everything on the plate had a purpose. Ive been to starred restaurants recently where they serve a nice plate of food, and then decide they need to put some strange texture using some modern technique, just because its the 'in' thing. Completely unnecessary.

>>6878239
Anon, sorry to go here but what the fuck do you do that allows you to have $335 two-person meals?

>>6878822
Its called saving your money instead of buying sriracha and fricken sushi

>>6878839
I find it hard to believe that any food is worth $400

>>6878850
Its one of those you have to see it to believe it type of things

>>6878839

Honestly this, if you cook modestly and don't go to some Darden-type shitshow every friday night you can afford to eat a meal for two like that pretty quickly on any salary above minimum wage...

>>6878854
Maybe one day I'll be impulsive enough to pay half my rent for half a belly full of food

>>6878346
Straight outta Flavortown?

>>6878850
Take yourself to a 3 star restaurant. You might change your mind!

>>6878860
if your rent is that low you need to move somewhere that is civilized and not the set of deliverance...that should be what you impulsive about

>>6878866
I was exaggerating a but but who cares, its the internet

>>6878822
have a job and not be a neet

>>6878875
not even mad bruh, not even mad

it is a big steep but worth it
Id see why you wouldn't bring your girlfriend to a nice place like this like twice a year just to celebrate yourself

>>6878864
Doubtful. In the end, it's all shit anyway. Just really expensive turds.

>>6878860
you should try not being a poor scrub failure then

might change your outlook on things

>>6879111
anger much
sounds like your humble beginnings are coming back to haunt you anon

If you don't believe in it, don't partake in it. How does it impact your life how people choose to spend their money?

>>6878850
it's not the food who is so expensive ( even if tests rants like this have a higher food cost as a hamburger joint)
most of the cost come from:
kitchen staff
waiter staff
investment
wine cellar
glasses/plates/silverware

>>6879830
*restaurants not test... fucking auto-correct...

>>6878029
I ate at the Maze grill this summer. The steak was fantastic and some of the best I'd ever eaten. The salad and coffee were both really good, and the onion rings were only okay. That could be a difference in what fried food tastes like in London vs other countries.

>>6878539
Blacklash

>>6879093

his wife is friends with my mum.
I remember telling him to fuck up and eat when he told me my pizza didn't look 5 stars like he taught me.

>>6878339
Old black ladies are some of the best, sweetest, most wisecracking people I've ever gotten to know. Outside of the street ones. Even they're not so bad besides a few crazies.

>>6879830
>shareholders

No more attention whore restaurants for me.

>in tokyo
>la rochelle
>was terrible

The Japanese-French "fusion" just didn't work for me at all. I would have been better off spending my $350 at tsukiji.

That was the end of celebrity chef restaurants for me.

>in las vegas paris hotel
>go by monster ramsay poster
>go by ramsay restaurant early in day
>decide not worth it
>go have french onion soup and salad instead
>happier

I can make my own steak.

And a meme was born. I love going to tests rants.

>>6883527
High end test rants advertise in murica? Is that just something specific to Las Vegas?

>>6879618
>like something or someone makes you a shill to the highest degree

>>6884229
More a Vegas thing
