The photo note

This place was way overhyped! Presentation & ambiance was awesome, but food was subpar! You disappointed us Ramsay! #burgr #gordonramsayburgr #burger #foodspotting #foodography #vegas #gordonramsay #lasvegas

Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

The burger looks the part: a glossy sesame bun, a thick patty, arugula and a white cheese.

Roger did not buy it. This place was way overhyped, he wrote — presentation and ambiance were awesome, but the food was subpar. You disappointed us, Ramsay. A celebrity name was not enough to earn a pass.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • Great presentation
  • Awesome ambiance
  • Subpar food for the hype

Bottom line

Archive verdict

A celebrity burger that looked better than it tasted — skip the hype.
