Everyone was snug in the booth, and the food was exceptional. What did you learn? It was just this feeling of warmth and generosity, and it was that kind of hustle and bustle of the place that I loved. I know you worked in an American steakhouse early in your career. I didn’t go to the game, but I watched it on TV and visited the stadium this morning. You sense that just walking to the stadium. It’s just one of those vibrant cities that has a real passion to it. It’s a lot like London, hardworking, not over-glamorized. Have you visited Baltimore before? I’ve been four times.
We caught up with the multi-Michelin starred chef to talk about steak, Baltimore, and The Bard. This is his first steakhouse on the East Coast, and a sister spot to his Las Vegas eatery. Ramsay, who has 32 restaurants all over the world (and TV shows all over Fox including Hell’s Kitchen, MasterChef, and The F Word with Gordon Ramsay) has been in Baltimore getting ready to open Gordon Ramsay Steak at the Horseshoe Casino. But in person, he’s as affable as they come. Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, who was raised in Stratford-upon-Avon-the birthplace of Shakespeare-is known to be a total drama king in the kitchen with his fiery temper and profanity-laced language.
