| - A fellow foodie friend recommended I check out Gordon Ramsey's burGR in the Planet Hollywood hotel and it did not disappoint!
I asked our server what the most popular item on the menu was, and She suggested the Hell's Burger which had avo, peppers, and cheese. My husband doesn't eat beef so he ordered the Earth burger. As I was doing my yelpy research prior to eating at burGR, I was a little leery when I saw pictures of the thick buns. I don't care a whole lot for tons of bread with my burgers or sandwiches, and I really despise thick buns that are dry and dense. However, the bun was perfection! Though it appears thick, it is soft and a moist and grilled to a nice crispy texture on the inside. My burger was done perfectly and the pepper added a nice kick to it. HOWEVER, my husband's Earth burger was even BETTER than my burger! The Earth "burger" is a portabello mushroom burger which had fresh dill, radishes, some kind of fried greens (maybe kale?) and other veggies, brought together with an amazing sauce. I took one bite of his earth burger and wished (for once) that I could switch with him! Trust me when I say I would almost never choose a veggie burger over a delicious beef burger, but the Earth burger was THAT good!
I could've gone without the truffle Parmesan fries, and wish that I had ordered just plain fries instead. I don't like Parmesan so that was probably my fault for ordering that, but for those of you who like a strong truffle and Parmesan flavor, you would love this.
Service was a little slow, which was contrary to other restaurants we visited in Vegas, but the food was worth it. Being a fan of Gordon Ramsay (especially after seeing a different side of him on Jr Chef!), I'm so glad I got to finally try one of his restaurants and it was great!
