The world’s meanest chef is opening a Miami restaurant. Is idiot sandwich on the menu?
Gordon Ramsay appears to delight in torching contestants on his television show “Hell’s Kitchen.”
Now Miami diners will get to return the favor.
Ramsay will open an outpost of his Hell’s Kitchen restaurant in downtown Miami in late 2022, according to a company statement. It’ll be the third Hell’s Kitchen restaurant, following locations in Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe. Two other spots, in Chicago and Washington, D.C., are forthcoming.
The restaurant capitalizes on its FOX network fame, with the red-and-blue design mirroring the television set. One side of the restaurant is painted in fiery murals, the other in cool blues, and in between them is an open kitchen to resemble the show’s.
Ultimately it’s a theme restaurant — call it a Rainforest Café with implied cursing.
The sprawling 16,000-square-foot restaurant will cover two floors at Met Square in the upcoming Metropolitan Miami Development, just north of the river from Brickell.
The menu, like the show, appears audience-tested. Oysters and shrimp cocktails for starters, foie gras, meatballs and seared scallops as appetizers, Beef Wellington, chicken scallopini and several cuts of steak for entrees. Fixed-price options between $75-$85 a person appear on each of the other restaurant locations’ menus.
There is a Hell’s Kitchen Burger on the menu but no idiot sandwich.
