Gordon Ramsay Steak recently opened at Horseshoe Casino in Baltimore. The celebrity chef himself made an appearance at a media preview for the restaurant, a spinoff of Gordon Ramsay Steak in Las Vegas and his first on the East Coast. It replaced Jack Binion’s Steak.
The Michelin-starred Ramsay is the first famed chef to enter Baltimore’s dining scene. In 2018, Giada de Laurentiis will open a restaurant at the Horseshoe Casino and Todd English will open a restaurant at Live Casino & Hotel in Hanover.
Horseshoe Vice President of Food and Beverage Jay Lattimer said about 20 percent of the menu is locally sourced, including gnocchi with beef cheeks from Roseda Farm, sea bass, crab cakes and the “Bee’s Bollocks” cocktail, a twist on the classic bee’s knees using local honey. Ramsay noted, “Customers need that level of security in terms of what they’re eating, where it’s from. It makes the customers feel a little bit more at ease when they don’t have to worry about their fish coming from New Zealand or their salmon coming from Australia.” Dishes popular at Ramsay’s Las Vegas restaurant also will be featured, including beef Wellington, roasted bone marrow and rib cap.
Prime beef cuts range from $52 to $95 on the menu, with American and Japanese Wagyu steaks priced at $44 for an 8-ounce skirt steak to $30 per ounce for triple-seared Japanese A5 Wagyu beef, the highest grade possible. Seafood dishes range from $36 to $42 and sides are $8 to $13.
Samantha Love is executive chef at Gordon Ramsay Steak.
Ramsay opened Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in London two decades ago. “Same maître d’. Two head chefs in 20 years. That’s the kind of success I’d like to replicate here in Baltimore,” he said, adding, “What I’d like to do is establish a little bit more of, I suppose, a go-to safe haven here. You can come and indulge and have some fun. That’s the pleasure of dining out.”
