Gordon Ramsay Burger’s Menu Won’t Leave You Broke In Vegas

For those who checked out my extensive feature of Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen in Las Vegas, you know I was absolutely astounded at not only the food’s explosive flavor but also by the warm and professional level of service I received.  

While a dinner like that is not routine, the tab totaled out to a monstrous $225, I wanted to see if Chef Ramsay’s other restaurants on the Strip could offer an elevated flavor experience while keeping the lining of my wallet intact.  As my good fortunes would find, Gordon Ramsay actually forayed into the burger arena at Planet Hollywood with Gordon Ramsay Burger.  

The burgers can come with sides such as fries and onion rings.  And of course, with it being Las Vegas, there are house cocktails readily available.  Yet, since the burger is at the forefront of the concept, I opted for the simplest option available to see if the flavor of the beef matches the tomahawk steak from Hell’s Kitchen: the Backyard Burger.

Simplicity is what I received but that is by no means a bad thing.  See, at Gordon Ramsay Burger, you will notice on a visit that at the tables, seasonings like salt and pepper and condiments like ketchup and mustard are completely absent.  For good reason: the burger does not need it.  The level of moisture of the patty was perfectly balanced and the blend of beef to fat allows for a level of flavor I had not experienced since Guy’s Burgers aboard Carnival Cruise Lines.  And to top it off were some house pickles, butter lettuce, and melted American cheese.  It’s what any burger lover could ask for.  This burger’s name gave me the intonation that I was indeed enjoying this fresh off a backyard grill.

As my side, I chose the onion rings paired with chipotle ketchup and southwestern ranch.  The onion rings are fried to a golden brown and the batter to onion ratio was, again, nothing short of perfect.  As a note, sides are not included in the cost of the burger, purchased separately.  These onion rings were definitely worth the cost.

Which begs the question: which bank loaned me the small fortune to enjoy this meal?
