| - Ok, Be prepared to spend big money on a burger, averaging at $15/burger sides not included...but also be prepared for one of the best burgers you've ever had!
I went with a friend who is a beer and burger fanatic so we were both pumped as two Gordon Ramsay fan club northerners raised on meat and potatoes can get.
We decided to start off with the jalapeño poppers and not the "just fries but the delux truffle/parmesan fries (cause hey, you're at a GORDON RAMSAY restaurant. this is no time to hold back)
The Fries were incredible, truffle flavor saturating each bite, the delightful fluffy parmesan, two dips, a creamy dip and a spicy ketchup dip, the cooked to perfection crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside, salted to perfection melt in your mouth experience that has me drooling on the keyboard as I type. Then there were the poppers. 6 massive poppers, that are more like the size of chicken fingers arrive each in their own dipping sauce contained shot glass all in a row. The presentation is beautiful and exciting, because one of these delicious bad boys is extra spicy! its like a russian roulette where everybody wins! I love that you don't have to be hung up on double dipping protocol either. there is plenty of individually portioned dip per poppper. Appetizers perfect. on to main course.
We each ordered a burger and shared because it was so hard to pick! Cheeses I'd never even heard of! exotic ingredients, each one had me salivating with each syllable.
My friend ordered the Char Siu Burger cooked medium. This burger had Pork Belly, Honey-Hoisin Sauce, radish, cilantro and cucumber. This was the one I wanted to pick, so hastily I chose the Euro Burger which had Truffle Aioli, goat cheese, arugula and oven roasted tomato.
I bit into my burger first and for 10 minutes it was the best burger I'd ever had... then I bit into the char-siu. I swear I had one of those ratatouille moments, except there were no childhood memories to rush back to... I simply was taken somewhere, a journey that started in my mouth and went straight into my soul. The balance of flavors, textures, aromas, everything was a symphony that frankly got me a little choked up. There was mist in my eyes folks.
For desert we ordered the Sticky Toffee Pudding Push up pops. It was between that or a milkshake. Wish Id gone with a milkshake. The pops were ok, it was very fun and a cool idea but i just wasn't blown away. it paled in comparison to the appetizers and main course.
If I were to have a suggestion for Gordon Ramsays Restaurant, it would be maybe to expand the deserts a little bit. Sticking with your diner fare, maybe offer your twist on a classic american pie a la mode? a cobbler or maybe something english?
Otherwise I had an amazing time and I can't wait to go back and try another burger off the menu. I've got my eye on the Britannia, the Artisinal and the Farm.
This restaurant is going to be my undoing.
