Did you notice the Duker's Refrigerator being used by Gordon's Ramsey?
In this Las Vegas Restaurant equipment blog post, we will be discussing our experience dining at various celebrity chef restaurants on the Las Vegas strip. We started our culinary adventure at David Chang's Momofuku restaurant at The Cosmopolitan. Chang is a renowned chef and restaurateur known for his contemporary Asian American cuisine. We tried his famous pork belly buns, which were sweet and rich, but not the standout dish of the night. We also sampled the raw tuna with foie gras, a unique and savory dish that combined different flavors and textures.
Next, we visited Gordon Ramsey's Hell's Kitchen at Caesar's Palace. Ramsey is a well-known chef and TV personality, famous for his brash personality and profanity-laden cooking shows. The restaurant's ambiance was reminiscent of the TV show, with devil pitchforks hidden throughout the dining room. We ordered the signature Beef Wellington, a traditional British dish that lived up to the hype. The meat was tender, and the mushroom paste added a rich and savory flavor. The sticky toffee pudding, another signature dish, was the highlight of the meal, with its sweet and gooey texture.
Our next stop was Tom Colicchio's Heritage Steak at the Mirage. Colicchio is best known as the head judge on the TV show "Top Chef." His restaurant focused on steakhouse classics, and we ordered the bone-in ribeye, which was cooked to perfection. The sides, including spicy cucumber and Brentwood corn, were also delicious. The chill tomato gazpacho stood out as a tangy and refreshing dish.
We then visited Jose Andres' Bazaar Meats at the Sahara. Andres is a famous Spanish chef known for popularizing the tapas style of dining in America. Bazaar Meats combined tapas with cuts of rare meat and experimental molecular gastronomy dishes. We tried the bison carpaccio, Kobe airbreads, and deconstructed olives, which were all unique and flavorful. The foie gras cotton candy was an interesting and indulgent dessert.
Next on our list was Bobby Flay's Bobby's Burgers at Harrah's. Flay is a longtime Food Network personality and specializes in Cajun and southwestern cuisine. We ordered the Crunch Burger, which featured potato chips for added crunch. The burger was tasty but heavy, with meat, cheese, bread, and salty chips. The brunch burger, topped with an egg, was a satisfying choice. The fried chicken sandwich stood out with its crispy cabbage slaw and vinegary pickles.
We also visited Buddy Valastro's Pizza Cake restaurant at Harrah's. Valastro, known as the Cake Boss, gained fame through his TLC show showcasing the creations at his family-run bakery. Pizza Cake offered slices of pizza and cake, as well as cannoli's and cookies. We tried the rainbow cake, s'mores cookie cake, and cannoli, all of which were enjoyable.
Lastly, we dined at Guy Fieri's restaurant at the Linq. Fieri is known for his California cuisine and his iconic style. We tried the Trashcan nachos, which were loaded with barbecue sauce and tangy flavors. Fieri's twist on American comfort food was evident in the menu, with dishes like the Mac Daddy Mac 'n Cheese and the Bacon Mac 'n Cheese Burger.
Overall, our experience dining at these celebrity chef restaurants was a mix of unique flavors, indulgent dishes, and memorable experiences. Each chef brought their own style and personality to their restaurants, creating a diverse culinary landscape on the Las Vegas strip.
