The Great Gordon Ramsay Restaurant Round Up: NYC Edition
Ah, New York City. The city that never sleeps, the concrete jungle where dreams are made of... and apparently, where Gordon Ramsay likes to sling some grub (when he's not busy yelling at someone on TV, that is). But the burning question remains: just how many restaurants does the fiery chef have in the Big Apple?
Hold on to your toques, folks, because we're about to embark on a delicious deep dive.
The Plot Thickens (or Should We Say, the Sauce Reduces?)
Now, you might be picturing a Ramsay-verse blanketing the city, with Hell's Kitchen restaurants on every corner and Bread Street Kitchens popping up like Starbucks. But fear not, your ability to navigate the city without bumping into a Ramsay establishment is safe (for now).
As of today, there's actually just one Gordon Ramsay restaurant in New York City: the illustrious Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips.
Yes, you read that right. Fish & Chips. Not a Michelin-starred extravaganza, not a place to witness the legendary Ramsay temper tantrum firsthand (although, maybe if you order your mushy peas well done...). Just good ol' fashioned fish and chips, done the Ramsay way (which hopefully involves less yelling and more perfect batter).
But Wait, There's More! (Maybe)
Now, don't despair, you lovers of all things Ramsay. There have been whispers of other potential Ramsay ventures in the city that never quite came to fruition. Maybe a Bread Street Kitchen is in the works? Perhaps a posh Petrus will grace us with its presence someday? Only time (and Gordon's ever-expanding restaurant empire) will tell.
For now, cherish the singular Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips. It's a delicious reminder that even the most famous chefs know the importance of a good chippy.
