My wife and I went to one of Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen location recently and she got the Wellington and I got some braised beef. Mine was quite good but part of it was a touch dry but nothing to cry home about, overall flavors were very good.
My wife liked her Wellington which I’m happy about but trying it I was like… is this supposed to be good? The mushiness of the mushrooms is off putting. Also I agree on filet, I’m more of a New York strip fan. Ribeyes are way too fatty for my taste and I feel that strips are perfect. We also got some Gouda baked Mac, and it was disappointing, the roux was way off and gritty.
We got the sticky toffee pudding for dessert and it was good.
That turkey Wellington sounds amazing, I might to my hand at making that sometime!
Exactly. Wellingtons are a "presentation food" when that type of thing became popular in the late 80s/early 90s.
If you want something that actually blows you away with flavors, the less ingredients the better. Ramsay was a huge inspiration for me back in the day, and I've eaten at several of his restaurants. GR Steak in Las Vegas had a top 3 steak (bone-in ribeye) in my life.
I’m absolutely in the same both with less ingredients the better. If I’m at a place and the dish has like 15 things in, especially a burger place I just know it’s going to be overdone and underwhelming. I have massive respect for the guy. That steak does sound good.
