Iconic Celebrity Chef Driven Eatery Arrives in San Diego
FUNNER, Calif., Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Gordon Ramsay HELL'S KITCHEN — the iconic eatery created by celebrated multi-Michelin-starred chef and television personality, Gordon Ramsay — has opened its doors at Harrah's Resort Southern California .

As the first location in California and largest outpost to date, this Gordon Ramsay HELL'S KITCHEN occupies an 11,360-square-foot space and can accommodate up to 332 guests. Diners can expect an experience in tune with the legendary concept where the restaurant's design and menu are emblazoned with the iconic red and blue flames, including the waitstaff, while the space will feature an elegant bar, full-service restaurant, exhibition kitchen, plush lounge, curated wine wall, two private dining rooms (with the ability to be combined into one larger space) and two chef's tables. "I love Southern California," said Chef Gordon Ramsay. "It's one of the best places to live, as well as visit, so it was a no brainer to bring California's first HELL'S KITCHEN to Harrah's Resort SoCal." As fans might hope, Gordon Ramsay HELL'S KITCHEN at Harrah's Resort SoCal will feature many of Chef Ramsay's signature dishes, such as his famed Beef Wellington and Sticky Toffee Pudding, among other specialty items such as Lobster Risotto, Wagyu Meatballs, Pan Seared Scallops and Crispy Skin Salmon, to name a few, on top of sought-after cocktails that are celebrated for their delivery, like the Smoke on the BLVD and Notes from Gordon — which is presented with a cheeky remark from the celebrity chef himself. In addition to an impressive menu dedicated to vegetarian and vegan dishes, diners can also indulge in the Gordon Ramsay HELL'S KITCHEN signature prix fixe menu, and can expect to see new and progressive dishes specific to the Harrah's Resort SoCal location in the coming months, solidifying the restaurant on the forefront of culinary trends, and ensuring every meal provides a hint of surprise. "It is an honor to open the first Gordon Ramsay HELL'S KITCHEN in the state," said restaurant General Manager Sarah Ertmann.

FIRST GORDON RAMSAY HELL'S KITCHEN IN CALIFORNIA OPENS AT HARRAH'S RESORT SOCAL

FIRST GORDON RAMSAY HELL'S KITCHEN IN CALIFORNIA OPENS AT HARRAH'S RESORT SOCAL

Article content
It was Hot Dog Day on Wednesday so we discussed the iconic sandwich (see story below) on my radio show that morning. Very quickly, a sometimes heated debate broke out on whether a hot dog should ever have ketchup on it. I say no, unless you’re a kid. Just based on texts, emails and calls to my show, I’d say most people are with me on this. One person suggested whether ketchup should be allowed on a hot dog was dividing families long before we ever heard of COVID-19. Believe it or not, there’s a long list of so-called hot dog etiquette. For example, dress the dog, not the bun…and always start with the wet condiments, followed by the chunky ones like onions and sauerkraut. I’ve never been a fan of sauerkraut on a hot dog but I do feel mustard is a must. I also plan on trying cream cheese on my next hot dog. Listener Jason says when a hot dog cart outside a Nashville bar served him a dog with cream cheese on it, it was a game changer for him. I’d love to read your thoughts on all this in an email to Hal@HalAnderson.ca . This story is brought to you by the snap of a Winnipeg Old Country weiner…

SANDWICH OR NOT? According to a new survey, most people (57%) consider a hot dog a sandwich. The dictionary agrees. Merriam-Webster defines a sandwich as “two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between.” The survey also asked about the best way to cook a hot dog. On the barbeque was the top answer at nearly 60%. 17% boil their hot dogs, while 13% use the microwave. Article content
RESTAURANT COMPLAINTS SPIKE
According to Yelp, restaurant complaints are on the rise. And the review site is blaming shrinkflation. A growing number of customers are grumbling online about receiving smaller portions as diners struggle with higher food costs. Yelp says reviews containing inflationary language are up 28%. WORLD’S BESTAURANTS
Article content
For the second year in a row, a Copenhagen restaurant has been named the best on the planet. Geranium serves a meat-free menu and is only open four days a week so head chef Rasmus Kofoed can maintain a work-life balance. TheWorlds50Best.com says Kofoed “has an intuitive ability to put together truly stunning dishes that make the most of colour, empty space and accurate volume of ingredients, creating synergy between flavour, aestheticism and a sense of flow that runs throughout the menu.”
MARY’S BROWN’S BGC DAY
Mary Brown’s Chicken will be raising money this week for a great cause. BGC Canada, formerly known as the Boys & Girls Club, helps kids and teens develop the skills they need to succeed. On Wednesday, Mary Brown’s will be donating $2 from every meal, combo and feast sold in its stores, through its app and online. Customers will also have the option of adding a donation to their order. Advertisement 4

SWEET JOB
An Ontario candy company is looking for a “chief candy officer” and the job comes with a sweet salary of up to $100,000. The full-time gig at Candy Funhouse is open to anyone over the age of five. The successful candidate will be responsible for sourcing new
products, leading “candy board” meetings and occupying the role of head candy taster. You can apply at CandyFunhouse.ca . PINK SAUCE OBSESSION
Pink Sauce has taken TikTok by storm. And we now know what’s in it. Creator Chef Pii says the brightly-coloured condiment, which sells for $20 a bottle, contains dragon fruit, sunflower seed oil, honey, chili and garlic. But some are saying Pink Sauce might be risky due to its lack of preservatives. VELVEETA MARTINI
BLT-owned restaurants in the US are now offering the Velveeta Veltini, a $15 martini featuring Velveeta-infused vodka, olive brine and vermouth. The martini glass is then garnished with cheese and Velveeta shells.

They’re a bit pricey at $4.39 (60 cents extra in a combo) but well worth it as far as I’m concerned. McDonald’s is now offering waffle fries and they’re really good. Mickey Dee’s tweeted the news recently but forgot to mention they wouldn’t be available until the next day so I had to make two trips to the drive-thru near my home in south Winnipeg in order to give them a try. Waffle fries are fairly common now but I’ve been a big fan since I first tried them at a sandwich shop up in Gimli many years ago. And while waffle fries are easier to find these days, it’s going to be difficult to track down better ones than what McDonald’s is currently serving. But let’s face it, even their regular fries are the best of the fast food chains, as long as they’re fresh. Also worth mentioning, at least one local McD’s is offering a $2 cheeseburger as its “Pothole Special.”

CHOCOLATE CREAM COLD BREW
I haven’t sampled it yet but Starbucks has a new beverage for summer. Chocolate Cream Cold Brew features Starbucks Cold Brew sweetened with vanilla syrup and topped with chocolate cream cold foam. “When creating this beverage, we wanted to bring our customers a drink that would transport them back to their favourite summer memories with each sip,” said Rosalyn Batingan of the Starbucks beverage development team. “The classic combination of coffee and chocolate is reminiscent of a chocolate milkshake or that last bit of melted chocolate ice cream on a warm summer day to recreate the sweet, creamy flavour of summers past.”
FROZEN FRUIT ROLL-UPS
It’s the latest TikTok food trend. To create the snack, just unroll Fruit Roll-Ups and put them in the freezer for a few hours. The finished product is a colourful and crunchy Fruit Roll-Up sheet. Some people take it to a whole other level by layering two Fruit Roll-Ups on top of each other and then using a cookie cutter to make a circle shape which you put in a taco stand to mold it into a shell. The shell is then filled with three small scoops of rainbow sherbert and topped with chamoy sauce, Tanjin seasoning and Nerds candy. Advertisement 3

CHILI PEPPERS & CANCER
Chili peppers could be the secret ingredient to beating cancer. Researchers at Marshall University say capsaicin, the substance that makes peppers hot and spicy, can also keep multiple forms of cancer from growing. The scientists say their biggest hurdle is figuring out the best way to deliver the capsaicin to patients. MEAT TAX
Almost four in 10 people would support a meat tax. As meat prices spike due to higher inflation, a new survey says 37% favour a 10% tax on meat in an effort to cut consumption. Gen Zers, people under 25 years old, are the biggest supporters of this idea. Eating less meat would be better for the environment and potentially people’s health. Revenue from the tax would go to livestock farmers to diversify their business. Opponents of the idea worry about low-income communities where meat is easier to get and access to fresh fruit and vegetables is limited. Advertisement 4

MOON FOOD
For the first time ever, food has been grown in soil collected from the Moon. It’s like the plot of the 2015 movie “The Martian,” starring Matt Damon. The dirt dates back half a century to the Apollo missions. It’s a first step toward producing food and oxygen on the Moon during future space missions. Over the next decade, NASA’s Artemis program will lay the foundation for a sustainable colony on the lunar surface. The Moon would be used as a pit-stop on trips to Mars. Matt Damon portrays an astronaut who faces seemingly insurmountable odds as he tries to find a way to subsist on a hostile planet in The Martian. Photo by Photo Credit: Aidan Monaghan /Aidan Monaghan
STRANGER THINGS DORITOS
To celebrate the arrival of Stranger Things 4 on Netflix later this month, Doritos is out with a new flavour of tortilla chips. 3D Crunch Three Cheese brings together cheddar, Monterey jack and parmesan cheese in a three-dimensional bite.

It was Chocolate Covered Anything Day on Thursday and I celebrated by bringing Lesley and Ryan Steppler on my radio show to talk about their chocolate covered crickets. My wife Jackie came home from Third + Bird urban market recently with a package of their Chocolate Cricket Clusters which were surprisingly good. This would be a great novelty gift for someone on your Christmas list but it’s a lot more than that. Crickets are a very nutritious and sustainable superfood. They’re 63% protein and high in B12, manganese and zinc. They’re good for us and the environment as well. You can even grind them up and bake with them. If you’d like to buy some of Lesley and Ryan’s one million crickets, just go to PrairieCricketFarms.com and buy a pack of cricket powder or pick your favourite flavour of whole dried crickets from salt & vinegar, smokey BBQ and dill pickle.

As food prices rise, so do the number of people being helped by Harvest Manitoba. President and CEO Vince Barletta says they now lend a hand to about 85,000 clients every month. In the past year, food hamper requests have increased by 75%. And Bareltta expects the need to get greater before things improve. Because of food inflation, it’s also getting harder for people to help out but if you can make a donation, please do so at HarvestManitoba.ca or call 204-982-3663.

ADVENTUROUS FOOD CHOICES
DoorDash has released its third annual Deep Dish Report and the bottom line is people are becoming more adventurous with their food choices. Pad Thai, Tabouleh, Baklava and Aloo Paratha (I had to Google two of them) have all made this year’s top 10 list of foods ordered. DoorDash is also reporting 66% of us use third party delivery to source new restaurants. Delivery orders are up 132%, while pickup orders have grown by 427%. Advertisement

ATTRACTING MEAT EATERS
A new study says restaurants need to serve more vegetarian options to attract meat eaters. By serving at least 75% vegetarian dishes, people who eat meat are significantly more likely to order vegetarian meals. When menus only feature 25 to 50% vegetarian options, customers stick to their meat eating ways. CREAM CHEESE SHORTAGE
I’ve had no problem getting my hands on cream cheese when I’ve needed it for my morning bagel but there’s apparently a shortage in some places. To the point where Kraft has apologized and is offering up $20 vouchers for dessert supplies for customers who can’t make cheesecake. A total of 18,000 vouchers have already been given away this weekend. COOKING SHOW REPLACES DR. OZ
TV’s Dr. Oz is being replaced by a cooking show. Mehmet Oz (that’s his full name) is running for the US Senate. His last episode will air on Jan. 14. The Good Dish, a combination cooking-talk show which will be hosted by Daphne Oz (Dr. Oz’s daughter), Gail Simmons and Jamika Pessoa, will serve up a dish of the day. Producers boast it will be the most fun you can have in the kitchen without having to do the dishes. It debuts on Jan. 17. Advertisement

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLOODY MARY! The Bloody Mary is 100 years old. They’re celebrating at Harry’s Bar in Paris where the drink was invented in 1921. Since then, Harry’s has served about 12,000 Bloody Marys a year, making the drink directly in the glass as per tradition. Over the years, many iconic patrons have enjoyed the vodka-tomato juice cocktail at the famous watering hole including writers Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. CHRISTMAS TREE BEER
Black Husky Brewery in Milwaukee is celebrating the holidays with a beer made with spruce from the city’s official Christmas tree. It’s called Tree Sproose and the couple who donated the tree even took part in the bottling of the special beer. A portion of sales will help support the Milwaukee Urban Forestry Fund. – Hal has written columns for years. He’s also the host of Connecting Winnipeg weekday mornings from 10 to noon on 680 CJOB.
