| - Gourmet burgers look to be some of the most common kinds of food on the strip and almost all of them suffer the same problem. They use all of these high quality and expensive ingredients and end up making a burger that just tastes like a bunch of shit thrown together. That's really is what a burger is, but if I'm going to spend $10+ for one, I want it to be remarkable.
Gordon Ramsay seems to be aware of that problem. Every ingredient in every sandwich at Gordon Ramsay Burgr stands on its own. Every one of the items has character. You can get burgers for a dollar almost anywhere. GR Burgr justifies the costs.
FOOD HIGHLIGHTS:
Farm Burger: Everybody has a bacon and egg burger on their menu, but somehow GR Burgr does it incredibly right. It's hard not to love duck breast bacon, but what impressed me was that you could somehow taste the egg behind all of the fattyness of the beef, the bacon, and the delicious buns they use. Highly recommended.
Hell's Kitchen Burger: This one has kick. The spiciness of the peppers are tempered by the cooling effect of the avocado, all of which supplement the buns and beef very well. Also recommended.
Parmesan Truffle Fries: If you're a fan of either I probably don't even have to tell you they're good. The fries are perfectly cooked with delicious potato-ness but also substantial crispiness. The sauces they come with are worth licking from the bowl... not that I did that.
CONCLUSION
Call me crazy, but I found myself comparing Gordon Ramsay's burgers with some upscale maki sushi I've had. Each one had a complex and long lasting flavor with well balanced ingredients. Yet, they are still burgers, so they can also be enjoyed casually. Burgr is the first and possibly the only Gordon Ramsay restaurant I'll ever eat at, but as far as I can tell... this guy definitely knows his stuff.
