Gordon Ramsey Hell's Kitchen
I know I know, it will be overpriced and probably mediocre but we are wanting to go.
My question and probably no one knows the answer bit maybe you do. Will I be able to use my $100 diamond reward there? Has anyone seen a menu?
Quote: IbeatyouracesDon't know the answer to your question, but I wouldn't even let the people he hires make me a bowl of cereal. The people on his show are disgusting!
That is very true but isn't that pretty common among chefs? I seem to see a lot of gross people in kitchens.

You can teach a monkey to be a line
cook, it's just the same repetitive stuff
day after day.

It's edited to look that way, and some of the contestants may be hired because they do what they do (the way that American Idol passed bad singers through the initial auditions to sing in front of the judges), although I am under the impression that, despite what he says about all of the finalists, Gordon has faith only in the winner.
Why do I say that? A few years ago, the winner was supposed to be "head chef" (which I am lead to believe is "assistant to the executive chef" for one year with a $250,000 salary) at Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill, but, depending on whose version you believe, either she "declined the job for personal reasons" or "failed the drug test required of all Caesar's employees." In any case, Ramsay made it quite clear that the season's runner-up would not get the job, and, in fact, the following season's winner got that job.
him. He's all ego and not even that great of a cook.
He's mediocre at best, his talent is in being a
professional asshole.

I blame his show for one specific thing. I like good potato skins. To me, good skins have most of the inside scooped out after baking, then they're brushed with butter and filled with cheese and bacon, placed under the broiler for a few minutes, then topped with fresh chives and sour cream. The skins themselves should be crispy and solid but relatively thin.
He started yelling at restaurateurs for scooping out the innards, claiming they were cheating the customer of the potato they paid for.
Now, several years later, just try and get thin, crispy skins. You're stuck with half-potatoes with stuff piled on top. The tops get scorched, but the potato is solid and starchy, and the skins are just there, sometimes soggy, sometimes dry, but not crispy and buttery.
It was fine with me if they were mashing the innards with garlic or whatever and serving them separately. If I wanted a loaded baked potato, I'd order that instead.
Thanks for nothing, there, Gordo.

Lmao, if all things to not like someone for that is definitely a new one.

My question is, if you know it will be overpriced and probably mediocre, why do you want to go?

Funny, especially in context, but please don't make me ban you for twisting a member name into an insult. As in, stop there. Thanks.
No, I spelled it correctly(I think). That's an entirely different dream of his.Quote: onenickelmiracleit's spelled axelholes.

Zero offence taken. I don't think he was even trying to be offensive, even if he had, it wouldn't offend me at all.Quote: beachbumbabsFunny, especially in context, but please don't make me ban you for twisting a member name into an insult. As in, stop there. Thanks.
Quote: GWAEStill can't figure out if I can use my diamond $100 dinner cert here. I have tried calling and they either don't answer their phone or they put the wrong number on their website.
I ate there on RC. So I'm at least 80% sure you can.
I would ask 2 questions before ordering, though.
1 can you use your diamond celebration?
2. What is the exchange rate? As a vendor in a CET property, a lot of them are now 2:1, where in-house properties like LB steakhouse is still 1:1. I know in Paris LV, the Sugar Shack went to 2:1 years ago.
But I bet you already knew that, going to AC like you do sometimes. I think it started there, at Johnny Rocket and whoever.

Shows Gordon Ramsay CP allows use of RC's for 1:1.
The website also says Diamond Celebration and similar rewards are equivalent to RCs for those transactions.
Quote: ThatDonGuyThe Menu
I wonder how many people are going to order the Lobster Risotto, Pan-Seared Scallops, and Beef Wellington - "only" $92.
LOL. I'd never pay $92 on one meal for myself. And I am assuming that is before tax and tip. The meal would come up to roughly $116 altogether. I paid roughly $75 at Red Lobster for $10 appetizer, a $36 entree, a $8 drink, and a $8 dessert. With tax and tip it was roughly $75 and I found that on the high end of dining out. No way would I plop down roughly $116 on one meal! ;)
A winner of a previous season of Hell’s Kitchen was the executive chef there, but recently it’s someone new. Not sure if the previous girl doing it quit or was let go.

That is the other GR retaurant. I have been watching that site for the last 10 days but they haven't updated it with Hell's Kitchen. I assume that since his other restaurants except it and are 1 to 1 this one should be too. I will clarify it before we go though.

I was so annoyed 3 summers ago when we ate at johnny rockets at the showboat. We had a ton of RCs so we eat. I let our oldest order milkshake. I think my wife got one to go as well. Bill comes to like $50 which is insane for crappy Johnny rockets but whatever they are points and we have $1400 worth. Give her my card and she was like ohh, it will be $100 for points. F that, I begrudgendly paid cash but I only had like $56 on me so the waitress got a crap tip. I felt bad about that but that's all I had on me.
Quote: ThatDonGuyKeep in mind that the winner of the "head chef job" will be announced on the TV show on February 2. I expect there to be quite a crowd for at least a few weeks after that, and I wouldn't be surprised if half the people there want to see the winner.
I thought that was weird the way they timed this. I didn't realize the winner was feb 2nd. They are doing a grand opening the week before so I assumed they timed the opening with the winner.
I got the salmon with Mac and cheese and mushrooms.
Wife got the dry aged ny strip.
Food was good. In am not a foodie so at times my opinions are way off to what others say. Mac and cheese was really good with lots of flavors but they also use some weirdo cheeses in it.
Quote: SOOPOOIf by weirdo you mean gouda, amongst my favorite dishes is a bacon and lobster mac and cheese that uses gouda cheese. The restaurant that serves it is basically a wine bar with a few dishes. I never need a menu when I go there........
Lol yes gouda. I usually stick to the norms like american and swiss.
I love gouda, dislike the sourness of swiss.
I walked in and checked the menu
The braised short rib creamy polenta, baby vegetables, beef jus caught my eye on the menu
Too crowded.
I walked into Caesars and spotted Gordan Ramsay Pub a grill
Sat down and checked the menu
I saw the same item I was gonna order at hells kitchen, braised short rib creamy polenta, baby vegetables, beef jus.
It was pretty good

yeah this is the case in most of his restaurants. You can find the same items at most of them. My wife had the braised short ribs at Ramsey Pub in atlantic city. She really liked them.
The food was excellent, the service was great, and it was an enjoyable two hour or so experience.
We'll be back again very soon, but we did try other places on our second trip last year...there are a whole lot of great restaurants in Vegas!
