Gordon Ramsay plans six more U.S. eateries; Bandito opens; ‘Chopped’ auditions
Not content with the planned December opening of his fifth Las Vegas restaurant, this one at Caesars Palace modeled after his hit Fox series “Hell’s Kitchen,” celebrity super-chef Gordon Ramsay plans to open six more U.S. eateries.
No details have been made available from his London, England, headquarters except that two of them will be located in Baltimore and New Orleans. Gordon, who last week premiered his series “F Word” son Fox and Season 8 of “Master Chef,” has promised that the “Hell’s Kitchen” restaurant, in the former space of Serendipity 3, will be open before year’s end.
