Ramsay's Kitchen (formerly Pub & Grill)

[Pete]

Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is planning an English pub and restaurant on the lake at Chisholm Creek.

Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grille has filed plans to build on the empty lot just south of Razzo's and will feature an expansive indoor dining area with a covered patio facing the water.

This will be only the third location for the concept with the other two being in Caesar's Palace in both Las Vegas and Atlantic City.

The restaurants typically feature a vintage-inspired bar with dozens of beers on tap and Ramsay's own take on elevated English pub food such as Beef Wellington and fish and chips.

Work should start soon.

[Pete]

This is a pretty big deal and the draw should help all the restaurants and retailers in Chisholm.

And OKC really does need an English pub, even if this will be a modern take on that concept.

Cool!

Massive get for OKC!

Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Oklahoma City.

Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Oklahoma City.

I'll be very interested to hear how this came about, typically Miami or LA is a logical next location.

Maybe Chisolm creek can finish out development of the lake with another celebrity chef branded restaurant on the south end.

Oh dang, this is the same pub as the one in Caesar's in Las Vegas? I almost went there a few months ago but the group voted for steaks.

Wow this is an incredible get for us! I'm very curious to know what about OKC got us on their radar for their first standalone (non-casino related) location, but in any event I'm very excited to check this out once it opens.

[Pete]

I know that OKC has a very large viewership of the Food Network and I bet that factored in.

Gordon Ramsay recently moved his restaurant group HQ to Las Colinas so maybe they will be looking at this region more now.

Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Oklahoma City.

Pretty wild to be third on that list.

Edit: This seems to be getting a lot of attention, the public engagement on the associated twitter post looks noticeably higher than usual.

Damn, the food is way pricey. That better be the best burger in the state for $27 and $34 fish and chips and it's cod FFS!

Those are casino prices. I'm sure the OKC price list will look quite different.

I would hope so

Once the counters stop spinning, I'll post the engagement numbers from social media.

The Facebook post alone has already been viewed by almost 200,000 people, and that number will likely go much higher.

I'm sure it will. I looked at both the Vegas menu and the Atlantic City menu. They vary quite a bit in content and prices so I would think OKC's will be different still.

Is this a situation where a local franchisee is bringing it here, or is it corporate that did a site selection and chose us?

[Pete]

I do not believe there is any local franchisee.

Spoke with their Chief Development Officer (who we met vacationing in Mexico this spring) and currently resides in Dallas. He confirmed this is a corporate project.

[Pete]

BTW, I know they had been looking at OKC for a while because I saw this same concept plotted for a Classen Curve spot along 63rd, just to the east of Torchy's.

That was about a year ago.

[OKCRealtor]

Awesome, huge get for OKC and Chisholm Creek!

[BillEcon]

The dinner price is within the range of competitors in OKC.

Very odd then that they would choose OKC as their next location, DFW seems like it would've been the obvious first-choice for a central US location
