Gordon Ramsay Relocates His Restaurant HQ to Las Colinas

Gordon Ramsay of Kitchen Nightmares fame picked DFW for his big new restaurant headquarters. The British celeb chef’s business is decamping from California for Texas, the Dallas Morning News reports. Las Colinas is where Gordon Ramsay North America headquarters will be located, and there are big plans to launch 18 restaurants across American in 2022 from that HQ.

Dallas will possibly see some of Ramsay’s restaurants too: CEO Norman Abdallah floats the idea of bringing Street Pizza, Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips, and Ramsay Kitchen to the area in 2022 or 2023.

Ramsay even enlisted Hell’s Kitchen chefs to work on his team, tapping Dallas native Michelle Tribble and Christina Wilson to develop new menus.
