It costs how much to eat at Hell’s Kitchen?

In 2005, food competitions on television were still a pretty tame and relaxing viewing experience. Other then the possibility of something burning or maybe a chef getting a bad cut or running out of time, things were pretty calm. It was the kind of television you could watch with your entire family. So needless to say, the world was not ready for Gordon Ramsay and Hell’s Kitchen.

Hell’s Kitchen was in your face and loud and fast paced and featured more bleeps than most viewers could keep track of. It features a cast of chefs who were competing for the chance to be the head chef in one of Ramsay’s popular restaurants. Each show had the two teams facing off in Hell’s Kitchen, the fictional restaurant that shared the name of the show.

Thanks to Hell’s Kitchen Ramsay became a household name outside of foodie circles and everyone and their brother wanted to eat at the restaurant. Up until recently the food was offered for free to customers who didn’t mind their meal being prepared by contestants on the food competition.

That was until an actual Hell’s Kitchen opened in Las Vegas. It is where the show is now filmed and anyone can go in and get a meal inspired by the show of the same name. But be ready for some sticker shock.

Paying the bill at Hell’s Kitchen is not for the faint of heart.

According to the entertainment site Screen Rant, you may want to take out a small loan before deciding to eat dinner there. The iconic Beef Wellington will set you back a staggering $63.95 while the pan-seared scallops will cost you $25.95. Ouch!

And the lobster risotto? The dish that seems to get at least one contestant on the show sent home each and every season? It will cost you $26.95.

However, there is a cheaper option if you didn’t win big at the slot machines. There is also a fixed menu that you can order for the flat price of $85.95. You get to enjoy three courses which include the Beef Wellington, the scallops and sticky toffee pudding. Go for lunch and the price goes down to $65.95.

There are also other dining options available, not all of them quite as expensive, but c’mon. Who’s going to go to Hell’s Kitchen and not have the Wellington? A night at any Gordon Ramsay restaurant is more about the experience then the food anyway. It might not be cheap, but you have your whole life to save money and eat from the value menu.
