My party of 2 spent $120 at Gordon Ramsay Burger. Our meal at the chef's chain restaurant was a surprisingly great value.

My partner and I spent $120 at Gordon Ramsay's burger restaurant in downtown Boston.
We both enjoyed our burgers, and also ordered appetizers and dessert.
Overall, the meal was a bit pricey, but I'd definitely eat at the restaurant again.
From Hell's Kitchen to Gordon Ramsay Steak, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has amassed an impressive line of chain restaurants around the world.
Back in December, my partner and I headed to the chef's upscale burger joint in downtown Boston with a simple mission: to decide if a meal there is worth the price.
I'll admit it: I'm always skeptical of a chain restaurant, even one with such a powerful name behind it. But sometimes, there's nothing like a good burger.
Here's what our experience was like.
We arrived right on time and were seated promptly.
When we arrived at the restaurant on a Monday night for dinner, we were seated promptly. Gordon Ramsay Burger has floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, which made for some cozy people watching.
The restaurant felt busy, but wasn't crowded. It took us a little while to be waited on, so we ordered our drinks and apps simultaneously.
The appetizers came out before our drinks.
I knew the minute I saw the appetizer menu that I'd want the street corn dip ($13), which came with tortilla chips. It was difficult not to fill up on the cheesy corn dip before my burger.
We also tried the New England clam chowder ($10). Thick and creamy, the chowder's clams were chopped smaller than usual, and it (unconventionally) had bits of bacon, too.
Although the flavor was delicious, my partner and I are something of chowder purists, so we probably wouldn't order it again.
Our drinks paired nicely with the street corn dip.
To drink, my partner ordered the seasonal Harpoon beer ($8) that was on draft.
I went for the Caballo Blanco cocktail ($19), which was made with tequila, fresh lime, Angostura bitters, ginger, and pineapple. Sweet and strong, my drink paired well with the street corn dip.
We both ordered burgers as our entrées.
For my entree, I chose the Idiot Burger ($20) — a smash burger topped with short rib, Gruyere, cheddar, and roasted mushrooms. It also had a spicy tomato chutney and came on a soft and squishy sesame seed bun.
Although it was meatier than the meals I usually go for, I loved it.
My partner ordered the Hell's Kitchen Burger ($19) with applewood-smoked bacon, pepper jack cheese, Sriracha aioli, tomato-jalapeño jam, and mashed avocado.
We both agreed this burger was a little too salty — but other than that, it was a solid take on a bacon cheeseburger.
We also ordered a side of truffle fries.
None of the burgers on the menu come with a side, so we ordered a plate of truffle fries ($12).
Fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside, and covered in shredded Parmesan, these were top-tier. One order of fries was more than enough for the two of us.
For dessert, we ordered a milkshake to share.
The dessert menu has some tempting, classic options — namely a chocolate brownie sundae and a cookie skillet — that we were too full to consider. Lighter dessert selections included a root beer float and some milkshakes.
We ordered the Oreo crème brûlée shake ($10), which was just as delicious as it sounds.
The classic shake flavor was elevated with a swirl of crème brûlée pudding and topped with whipped cream. Despite our huge burgers, it wasn't exactly hard to finish.
Aside from a few drawbacks, we thought our $120 meal was worth the price.
Overall, for the location and the amount of food we got, we were pleased with our $120 meal, which was the price before we added a tip. If I wanted to save some money, I'd probably skip the appetizers next time.
The only downside was that we had to flag down our server a few times. Although this wasn't ideal, it didn't negatively impact our experience.
Since Gordon Ramsay Burger has locations in other cities like Las Vegas, Chicago, and Vancouver, I'd consider it a fun, reliable spot to go if I didn't know anything about an area's food scene.
I'd also return to the Boston location if I was in the area and craving a good burger.

Brats and Biriyani Land in Culver City's Citizens Public Market

Skip to main content Current eater city: Los Angeles Two exciting new concepts have arrived at the Culver City Citizens Public Market, a food hall currently home to restaurants including the fried chicken spot Go Go Bird and hand roll specialist Uoichiba, and rooftop bar, Bar Bohemien. New restaurant Boho Burgers and Brats offers classic biergarten cooking, while Jikoni, a month-long pop-up from cookbook author Kiano Moju, serves AfriCali bites. Both restaurants opened on June 4. Boho Burgers offers a tight menu of burgers, sausages, and grilled cheese. The signature bratwurst is braised in beer and topped with slow-cooked onions, sauerkraut, mustard, chives, and comes on a Kaiser roll. Burgers include a smash option with American cheese and the Boho arrives with melted Gruyere, horseradish aioli, and caramelized onions. Gruyere and American cheese meet in the grilled cheese, and of course, a Bavarian pretzel from Rockenwagner is accompanied by three-cheese fondue. Those looking for sausage but not the meat can opt for a vegan version, which also served on a Kaiser roll. Moju, the author of AfriCali , brings her cooking to Citizens Public Market at Jikoni, which translates to kitchen in Swahili. The menu starts with beef and cheese sambusa inspired by Kenya, and shrimp jollof arancini made with Nigerian jollof stew and Italian short-grain rice. The heart of the menu is dedicated to Swahili-style biriyani that's served in Kenya. The basmati rice-based dishes are available with a choice of chicken, shrimp, or short rib. A karakara (passionfruit) pie, chai cookies, and ginger peach hand pie are available for dessert. Previously, Jikoni has popped up at restaurants like Virgil Village wine bar Melody, but the menu changes with each new location. Boho Burgers offers natural wine and German beers to pair, but if looking for cocktails, head upstairs to the rooftop bar, Bar Bohemien. Boho Burgers and Jikoni are located inside Citizens Public Market at 9355 Culver Boulevard, Culver City, CA 90232. Boho Burgers Wednesdays and Thursdays from 12 pm to 10 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from 12:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., and Sundays from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Jikoni is open Wednesday through Sunday from 12 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. See More:

DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Star Charlie Cox Talks Jessica Jones and Daredevil Dynamic and Calls Out a Defenders Plot Hole — GeekTyrant

Now that Daredevil: Born Again is back in the MCU spotlight, fans are excited about who's joining the party for Season 2 as Jessica Jones is officially back on the case. After months of speculation, Krysten Ritter has been confirmed to reprise her role, and she's already been spotted on set with Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock. Naturally, fans have questions… and so does Cox. In a recent interview with Deadline, Cox teased what it'll be like to see Daredevil and Jessica reunite on screen, and it sounds like we're in for a clash of personalities that could lead to some very fun friction. Cox said: 'There's a mutual respect for one another. She finds him overly serious and too much of a choir boy, and he finds her to be crass and making light of too many serious situations; she's more antihero than hero.' That contrast is exactly what made their brief interactions in The Defenders pop, but Cox also flagged a little continuity issue that's been lingering since that miniseries wrapped: 'When did Jessica Jones find out that I'm not dead? At the end of Defenders, everyone assumes I'm dead.' Fair question. Jessica is a damn good private investigator, so chances are she put two and two together once Daredevil resurfaced in Hell's Kitchen. But it's one of those funny MCU timeline quirks that might get hand-waved, or explained with a single throwaway line. It will be interesting to see how the writers bridge that gap. As for what's next, Cox didn't give away too much, but he did open up about some concerns he had during production. 'Before production was halted because of the writers and actors strikes, Vincent and I had expressed concern that some of the ingredients that the show had found in the original iteration, that we felt were a key factor in its success, were being omitted. I didn't watch the show until it was out, partly because I was nervous about it.' Even with some bumps along the way, Cox is still optimistic. 'There were some things that we shot that didn't make sense in the narrative. I'm in awe of what Dario achieved,' he added, referring to showrunner Dario Scardapane. As for Ritter, she sounded pumped about her return during a recent Disney Upfronts appearance. 'It's so great to be back, returning to Jessica after three seasons and The Defenders and now joining the MCU. I'm so excited to bring back this iconic character, and without giving too much away, there is much more in store for Jessica Jones. This is going to be an incredible season!' We still don't know how many episodes Jessica will appear in or if other Defenders like Luke Cage or Iron Fist will pop up, but for now, the prospect of Matt and Jessica teaming up again and seeing more of their dynamic is more than enough to keep fans watching.

Gordon Ramsay sightings in metro Detroit: Here's where

Was celebrity chef and reality cooking show star Gordon Ramsay in Detroit? It appears so. On various social media channels, there have been posts of Gordon Ramsay sightings. Those sightings included speculation that Ramsay and a crew were in town filming episodes of his new show, 'Secret Service" on the Fox Network. The show aims to examine major issues at struggling restaurants. Two metro Detroit restaurants that the celebrity chef allegedly may have visited included Boodles restaurant in Madison Heights and Firenze's Pizza in Warren. A June 3 Facebook post by Scanner of Warren showed pictures of Firenze's stating that Ramsay's "Secret Service" show was being filmed at the restaurant. According to the Firenze Restaurant and Pizzeria Facebook page, the family-owned spot on East 10 Mile Road in Warren is closed. The restaurant, the post stated, is reopening on Tuesday, June 10, with a "freshened up menu" promising customers that they will be "WOWWED!" by new menu items. What we do know, according to an Instagram post, is that Ramsay dined on June 8 at Grandma Bob's pizza spot in Corktown. 'We were honored and SO excited to have Chef Gordon Ramsey stop in to try our Detroit-style pie!,' according to the post. Grandma Bob's also asked, 'Wanna copy his order?!' and followed with: Caesar Salad 2 Greeks (the second Greek because he liked the first one so much) XL Pepperoni Sausage + Pistachio Pinot and Chianti The Free Press reached out via email to the FOX network, asking if Ramsay was filming the new show in the Detroit area. The network could not confirm if Ramsay's new show was filming here. A post on the website with a picture of Ramsay calls out for casting "struggling restaurants in or within 45 miles of Pittsburgh, Detroit or Cleveland." Ramsay's show, which premiered in May, is 'Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service.' Per the Fox TV network website, the weekly show features Chef Ramsay, with the help of a 'secret source' delivering inside restaurant intel on 'major issues facing each restaurant' that is featured on the episode. The source helps 'Ramsay infiltrate the restaurant after-hours for a dramatic nighttime black light kitchen investigation that reveals more filth and grossness than ever before' and other issues and problems the restaurant is facing. Ramsay is well known for his restaurants and various hit competitive TV shows, including Hell's Kitchen, Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, MasterChef, MasterChef Jr., and Next Level Chef. On his shows, Ramsay is also known for his blunt and often in-your-face demeanor, bleeped-out foul language and harsh criticism.

For the series, Ramsay followed chefs and traveled to remote places in the world seeking out "culinary inspiration, epic adventures, and cultural experiences," National Geographic's website said. The episode featured diving among shipwrecks, helping monks at the Holy Transfiguration Skete, a Byzantine Catholic monastery in the Keweenaw Peninsula. It also featured Ramsay teaming up with chef James Rigato of award-winning Mabel Gray in Hazel Park.
