Wow, amazing! The taste of the burger and the dawg was delectable. The burger is a blend of different cuts of beef and the hotdog was in a natural casing that has a great snap.
Both of which were cooked over an Applewood flamed grill.
Now I think Gordon is just trying to add pizazz with the wood that is used to grill in order to justify the price you'll be paying; but there's no need as I feel no matter what was used to grill it, the taste would've been the same.
My girlfriend and I came here with some of her workmates on a suggestion and I'll say that it was a great one.
My only gripe about the meal, was the bread and dipping condiments for the fries. Curry/chipotle ketchup? Let's not get all fancy and stick to something simple like just plain ketchup.
As for the hotdog, it wasn't even fully seated into the bun and I ended up having to eat it with a knife and fork.
My girlfriend had the American burger and it was just fine, except for the bun as well.
Both of which are given a brush a butter and toasted, and around the bun covered in sesame seeds but it's the outside texture that throws it off or what it would be to Americans-the crust.
At $14 being the average for just the main entree and having to order fries separately at $7, I think what you're mainly paying for is the presentation and the fact that you're dining at one of Gordon Ramsay's dining establishments.
I do think you can have a burger of the same caliber elsewhere at a lesser cost, but you're in Vegas.
You'll be losing money at any table, even the one you're eating on; but here you'll leave feeling satisfied even though now your wallet is feeling lighter and your stomach now heavier.
