Renowned celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay will soon be opening his first restaurant in Virginia, officials announced.
The multi-Michelin-starred chef is set to take his signature dishes to Caesars Virginia, which will mark his first foray in the state.
"I am so thrilled to give the amazing people of the Commonwealth an unforgettable experience with my beautiful space, as well as my signature dishes," the chef said in announcing the endeavor.
"The delicious beef wellington ... and, of course, that amazing dessert, sticky toffee pudding."
Other items made famous by the chef are likely to be on the menu, including his crispy skin salmon, pan-seared scallops and other items made famous on Hell's Kitchen, MasterChef, and other programs.
"Honestly, I can't wait for all of you to experience it very soon, and thank you for the support."
The restaurant will be located off the steps of the casino floor, and will "immerse diners in a modern ambiance with rich furnishings and a cozy, intimate setting," with more than 250 seating options, including a private dining room and outdoor patio.
According to Caesars Virginia, the eatery "is inspired by Chef Ramsay’s travels abroad, taking guests on a global culinary journey infused with flavors close to home."
It is scheduled to open before the end of the year.
"Caesars Virginia sets the standard for approachable luxury, and I’m so proud to open my first restaurant here inside this beautiful resort," the chef said in a statement.
"I’m beyond excited to continue that here in the Commonwealth of Virginia by sharing my take on global cuisine.”
Other items on the menu will include Virginia oysters, jumbo lump crab cakes, and sticky chicken wings.
"Ramsay’s Kitchen brings an elevated dining option not just to our resort, but it brings a world-class option that the region hasn’t seen,” Chris Albrecht, SVP and GM of Caesars Virginia stated.
“We’re so grateful that Chef Ramsay chose Caesars Virginia for his latest Ramsay’s Kitchen."
