No matter how you feel about Gordon Ramsay's reality TV shows, such as Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, The F Word, and MasterChef, there is no denying he is regarded as one of the best chefs in the world. With Gordon Ramsay's 17 Michelin stars, he is indisputably the best chef in England and the best chef in the United Kingdom. His flagship restaurant, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in London, has held three Michelin stars for more than 20 years. There is no question he is one of the best chefs in the world when it comes to haute cuisine and Western fine dining.
However, what is interesting about Gordon Ramsay is he has made the leap beyond being renowned in fine dining. Due to his TV shows and his fiery and entertaining personality, he is now a celebrity chef and perhaps the most famous chef in the world. Due to his fame amongst the masses, he has started opening a chain of Gordon Ramsay fast food and Gordon Ramsay fast casual restaurants. While some of his past restaurants, such as Gordon Ramsay Steak and Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill, were more casual but were still sit-down restaurants, Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips specializes in takeout and does not have wait staff.
While this chain already has had three locations, namely Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips Las Vegas, Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips Orlando, and Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips Washington DC, the latest iteration of it is Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips New York City branch. Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips in Times Square is smack dab in a tourist center, so it begs the question. Is Gordon Ramsay Fish and Chips good? Or is Gordon Ramsay Fish and Chips a tourist trap?
Beyond whether or not Gordon Ramsay's fish and chips recipe is good, or whether or not Gordon can make a great British fish and chips, or a British pub style fish and chips, Gordon Ramsay's immense fame has led to many viewing him as THE source of great cooking. Because of that, any restaurant that Gordon Ramsay opens will surely see a flood of traffic just because of his name. Because of that, one big question will be in general: Is Gordon Ramsay overrated? Is Gordon Ramsay just a celebrity chef? Or is Gordon Ramsay legit? And is Gordon Ramsay Fish and Chips a tourist trap?
I hope you enjoy the video and the food vlog! I always have fun reviewing great restaurants in New York City. This was the first time I got to review some of the best food in Times Square NYC. I also get to find out if Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips is among the best English food in NYC and the best British food in NYC.

i’m british and i will say, those chips are far too thin to be classified as chips really, or at least the traditional type of chip that you find in fish and chips. it is definitely far closer to french fries edit; thanks for 100 likes peeps, love from britain 🇬🇧

@dlt9784 "supposed to be" Yes. You've got that right. Also this is supposed to be a British fish and chip joint. Chips is the British English word for fried chips of potatoes. Hence "chips". What I saw here were thin spindly American fries, called French fries or since 2003 and Chirac's unwillingness to join the Bush Blair Iraq invasion, "Freedom" fries. They're as British as the National Rifle Association. NRA. So Gordon Ramssy is selling some kind of mid Atlantic hodge podge that he is assuming will be a money spinner.

@surebrec5113

@@carlosdanger947 No traditional chip shop would have problems preparing fish and chips, because the prep is done in advance, and more effort is involved in skinning and filleting & then cutting as opposed to just skinning and filleting. Also, these containers are smaller than the traditional ones here in the UK, and they are not smaller because it saves money. They are smaller because of the "small plate effect". Customers subconsciously think they are getting more if the food they ordered is crammed into a smaller container, when in fact it's the opposite. Add to that the price is ridiculous. $18 for a meal that would cost a third of that in a traditional fish and chip shop and will taste at least every bit as good. Everything is about profit above all else where celebrity chefs are concerned. Small portions with a celebrity name attached isn't good value.

It's a very American approach to Fish and Chips - I've seen it in lots of places in the US when I been visiting. I suspect part of the reason is because you can cook them faster - and the US is very good at 'doing' fast food (not necessarily 'good' but fast). Cooking variable sized / variable thickness large fillets takes longer and some attention rather than just setting a timer on a trimmed piece which is a fixed size and weight and pulling it out of the fryer when the timer pings..

It takes far less skill (and less cooking time) to cook 3 small pieces than 1 large piece. This is not a restaurant but I've had some really awesome restaurant fish suppers in strange places like Hong Kong (HK rugby club with a British chef) and they tend to serve 2 or more smaller fillets than 1 large one. I think I prefer multiple smaller fillets as you get more crispy batter and it's generally cooked better, but a skilfully prepared large fillet from a traditional UK shop would still be my preference

Good point! I do agree that deep fried food doesn't last long when to go. What I meant was more that some comfort foods are better done as fast food or fast casual than sit down food, such as fried chicken. Also the fish batter reminded me of tempura, which in my experience stays crispy longer than conventional fried foods. I wonder if that was what Gordon had in mind!

I went there a few wks ago. Suprisingly fresh tasting fish, except it's bland screaming for a pinch of salt before taking a batter bath. However at $17.99 it's well worth it esp. in NYC just for the quality of the fish. Dame in Village has better tasting fish & chip, but is much more pricy and difficult to get a table.

Although that mango curry sauce does look interesting. Personally salt vinegar & ketchup for me with mushy peas & washed down with dandelion & burdock.

Someone has to address the fact that in the U.k. we dont call french fries "chips" if we went to McDonald's we wouldn't say " are you going to get chips with your Burger ". Fries and chips are different things. French fries are thin cut things that you get from fast food joints like mcds and chips are a different animal. Thicker cut, usually purchased from your local chippy and cut that day. If it sais fries on the menu, you are gonna get fries. If it sais chips on the menu you are gonna get chips. And all chippy's in the UK make curry sauce. Its a staple. Keep up the good work.

As a Brit, it's actually decent, and it's certainly better than a lot of places in London, where I grew up. Unfortunately, I spent a bit of time in Grimsby, which is a very old fishing town up North, and I've had the fish and chips up there, and it doesn't come close. First, Gordon uses cod in his shop (at least in the one here in DC), which is a dirty fish. The correct fish (according to Northerners, who are the authority) is Haddock. The batter was actually surprisingly good, and definitely the best I've had since living here in the US, but again, it doesn't compare to what Northerners are having, but I don't know what the secret is. The other two oddities are that chippies, even in London, just serve you a big fuck off fish, not fillets, but I suspect this was intentional to cater to the US crowd. Chips are also about 3-4 times thicker than what they have here. Neither compromises the product though, imo. All in all, the marketing might be aimed at tourists, but it really isn't a "trap" per se, and I can say from first hand experience that it compares with what we get in the South (I include seaside towns like Brighton and Eastbourne).

If you’re ever in the UK I recommend the Magpie Cafe in Whitby, Haddock and chips, mushy peas, bread and butter, salt and vinegar and a nice cup of tea to wash it down. It’s fried in beef dripping so tastes a bit different to the regular oil taste. Dripping gets hotter than oil so the batter really crisps up and cooks quickly, lightly battered is better. There’s photos on Tripadvisor. Haddock’s a bit like Cod but it has a nicer taste. In fish and chip shops (also called “a chippy”) you can also usually ask for extra bits of fried batter for free, they’re called “scraps”. If you’re having fish and chips for early evening dinner (which is also called tea-time) some people say they’re having a “chippy tea.” Another good fish and chip shop is the Fisherman Restaurant in Settle, North Yorkshire, which is nearby to some nice places to visit and hike around in the Yorkshire Dales. A lot of fish and chip shops use oil and the fish has way too much batter which makes it a bit undercooked and soggy around the fish.

I just at the fried haddock and seafood platter with fried cod bites and fried white bait at Poppies in London. Was good, particularly the white bait which is little fish. I miss English fish and chips. Will try Gordon Ramsay.

I hope he does hp sauce…bread and butter ,mushy peas and cups of tea… Is he frying in beef dripping ? Is there a choice of haddock or cod?.. And do the servers greet you with “ hello love”. What can i get you ? Have you checked out the kitchens? You need salt and malt vinegar not naff sauces… How many dollars did it take?

I've been fish and chips places recently, thought Gordon's was good and solid, everything was good, loved the curry sauce. Best i had NYC (and I've been several places but not nearly all) is this bar called "As Is" on the east side of town around 51st or so.

Cool vid mate. Surely need tons of salt and vinegar on your fish and chips. My fish is normally drowning in vinegar with a drizzle of salt before i get started, then a cheeky dollop of ketchup👍

The price of $18US for a relatively small order is pretty high. Granted that it's Times Square but that price equates to around $23 or $24 in Canadian currency and that's a bit much. A similar order in downtown Toronto would be around $14 or $15. I guess the Ramsey name adds a lot to the cost but not the size. The cost of rent for that location must be huge.

That is an average portion of fish & chips. A New York lease for that spot is most likely 20-30 thousand USD a month, and paying a bunch of employees New York City wages. How much do you think it costs to rent a fish and chips place in Newfoundland? I'm from Washington state, and even I understand this. Average fish & chips costs about $15-25 a plate here. It's called living in the real world.

I know Ramsay is British, but he's not a "British Chef". He's primarily a French chef (as in his specialty is French Cuisine) and more broadly a European Gourmet Chef. He's no more able to cook good comfort food than your typical grandmother. Heck, watching him try to make a grilled cheese once was painful. I'm glad the food was good, but all this restaurant is is a fast food place capitalizing on branding. There's nothing wrong with that, but don't expect "the best" out of it. And I bet even if Ramsay himself was in the kitchen making the food, it wouldn't be nearly as good as a standard Fish and Chips shop in Britain, because that's just not his style of cooking.
