@dlt9784 "supposed to be" Yes. You've got that right. Also this is supposed to be a British fish and chip joint. Chips is the British English word for fried chips of potatoes. Hence "chips". What I saw here were thin spindly American fries, called French fries or since 2003 and Chirac's unwillingness to join the Bush Blair Iraq invasion, "Freedom" fries. They're as British as the National Rifle Association. NRA. So Gordon Ramssy is selling some kind of mid Atlantic hodge podge that he is assuming will be a money spinner.

i’m british and i will say, those chips are far too thin to be classified as chips really, or at least the traditional type of chip that you find in fish and chips. it is definitely far closer to french fries edit; thanks for 100 likes peeps, love from britain 🇬🇧

@@carlosdanger947 No traditional chip shop would have problems preparing fish and chips, because the prep is done in advance, and more effort is involved in skinning and filleting & then cutting as opposed to just skinning and filleting. Also, these containers are smaller than the traditional ones here in the UK, and they are not smaller because it saves money. They are smaller because of the "small plate effect". Customers subconsciously think they are getting more if the food they ordered is crammed into a smaller container, when in fact it's the opposite. Add to that the price is ridiculous. $18 for a meal that would cost a third of that in a traditional fish and chip shop and will taste at least every bit as good. Everything is about profit above all else where celebrity chefs are concerned. Small portions with a celebrity name attached isn't good value.

It's a very American approach to Fish and Chips - I've seen it in lots of places in the US when I been visiting. I suspect part of the reason is because you can cook them faster - and the US is very good at 'doing' fast food (not necessarily 'good' but fast). Cooking variable sized / variable thickness large fillets takes longer and some attention rather than just setting a timer on a trimmed piece which is a fixed size and weight and pulling it out of the fryer when the timer pings..

@Pax_Veritas

It takes far less skill (and less cooking time) to cook 3 small pieces than 1 large piece. This is not a restaurant but I've had some really awesome restaurant fish suppers in strange places like Hong Kong (HK rugby club with a British chef) and they tend to serve 2 or more smaller fillets than 1 large one. I think I prefer multiple smaller fillets as you get more crispy batter and it's generally cooked better, but a skilfully prepared large fillet from a traditional UK shop would still be my preference

@brendan904

Yeah these are fish fingers, this isn't a traditional fish and chip

I went there a few wks ago. Suprisingly fresh tasting fish, except it's bland screaming for a pinch of salt before taking a batter bath. However at $17.99 it's well worth it esp. in NYC just for the quality of the fish. Dame in Village has better tasting fish & chip, but is much more pricy and difficult to get a table.

I go to the restaurants in NYC after you review them. Au cheval was one of my favorites that you visited. Keep reviewing and I will keep going. Thanks

I disagree with you about take-out and dine-in food. Anything that deep fried, unless you live within minutes of the restaurant, is cold and gross by the time you get it home. Plus you can’t really reheat deep-fried.

Good point! I do agree that deep fried food doesn't last long when to go. What I meant was more that some comfort foods are better done as fast food or fast casual than sit down food, such as fried chicken. Also the fish batter reminded me of tempura, which in my experience stays crispy longer than conventional fried foods. I wonder if that was what Gordon had in mind!

Chips in England are 2-3 times thicker. In pubs in England usually only get tartar sauce.

The fries aren't hand cut. The potatoes are washed then are set in a machine that cuts the potatoes into that shape. It'd be better if they were hand cut because then they'd be thicker like british chips.

Oklahoma casinos have like the same type of places if you're ever there. Used to eat at them every time I went into the casinos. When I saw Gordon open one up in Vegas, I knew what was going on.

Someone has to address the fact that in the U.k. we dont call french fries "chips" if we went to McDonald's we wouldn't say " are you going to get chips with your Burger ". Fries and chips are different things. French fries are thin cut things that you get from fast food joints like mcds and chips are a different animal. Thicker cut, usually purchased from your local chippy and cut that day. If it sais fries on the menu, you are gonna get fries. If it sais chips on the menu you are gonna get chips. And all chippy's in the UK make curry sauce. Its a staple. Keep up the good work.

If you’re ever in the UK I recommend the Magpie Cafe in Whitby, Haddock and chips, mushy peas, bread and butter, salt and vinegar and a nice cup of tea to wash it down. It’s fried in beef dripping so tastes a bit different to the regular oil taste. Dripping gets hotter than oil so the batter really crisps up and cooks quickly, lightly battered is better. There’s photos on Tripadvisor. Haddock’s a bit like Cod but it has a nicer taste. In fish and chip shops (also called “a chippy”) you can also usually ask for extra bits of fried batter for free, they’re called “scraps”. If you’re having fish and chips for early evening dinner (which is also called tea-time) some people say they’re having a “chippy tea.” Another good fish and chip shop is the Fisherman Restaurant in Settle, North Yorkshire, which is nearby to some nice places to visit and hike around in the Yorkshire Dales. A lot of fish and chip shops use oil and the fish has way too much batter which makes it a bit undercooked and soggy around the fish.

The price of $18US for a relatively small order is pretty high. Granted that it's Times Square but that price equates to around $23 or $24 in Canadian currency and that's a bit much. A similar order in downtown Toronto would be around $14 or $15. I guess the Ramsey name adds a lot to the cost but not the size. The cost of rent for that location must be huge.

A British Chip shop in Times Square, he got his way. It must have the staples of mushy peas, baked beans, sausages and gravy on the menu. Then it's a chip shop.

US$17.99 for fish and chips is pretty stiff. And also considering that the place looks more like a fast food restaurant.

I've been to the one in Vegas a few times as it's right next to the hotel I stay in. It's definitely not bad, but I think it's a bit too pricey for what you're getting. When I first went, I was expecting it how they serve them in England which is a single large piece of cod or haddock over a bed of chips. I wouldn't take a special trip to go there, but if I find myself around one and want some fast food, I'll go.

Do they have any Halibut options?

Gordon closed his restaurant in Glasgow because he said us locals were fat and were only interested in fish and chips. Now, look at him! Looks quite good, but my chippy round the corner does a fish supper for 6 quid and it's class! Subbed to you anyway, cool video!

The fish and chips I had at the Caesars Atlantic City location were terrible! The fish smelled like ammonia and was cold along with the potatoes. Other food I got was okay.

now serving guest number 219!

I've been fish and chips places recently, thought Gordon's was good and solid, everything was good, loved the curry sauce. Best i had NYC (and I've been several places but not nearly all) is this bar called "As Is" on the east side of town around 51st or so.
