Gordon Ramsay announced earlier this spring that he'd finally be opening a Hell's Kitchen-themed restaurant just like the one at which the contestants on his show compete. There's still no word on whether or not guests at the restaurant can expect to see the potty-mouthed celebrity yell expletives at his chefs all night, but at least now we know when Hell's Kitchen will finally be open to the public: Jan. 16.
As earlier reports have clarified, Hell's Kitchen will open at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, and will have enough space to seat 300 customers. The restaurant will boast a brunch, dinner, and bar menu, and will be set up to look exactly like the TV set featured on the show.
Customers hoping to get the Hell's Kitchen experience can make reservations at the restaurant now.

Gordon Ramsay has filmed 19 seasons of Hell's Kitchen, all while teams of chefs face off to feed people inside a TV studio. So it's about time he actually set up a real-life restaurant. Variety reports that this fall, he'll open the first-ever Hell's Kitchen restaurant at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. (Not in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of New York? Seems like a missed opportunity.)
Ramsay broadcast the announcement live on his Facebook page.
He even lit up the show's signature pitchfork at Caesar's Palace to celebrate:
The restaurant will have enough space for 300 diners, and serve a brunch, dinner, and bar menu. And according to a press release, yes, there will be a red kitchen and a blue kitchen, because the restaurant will be set up to look like the show. "Fans of the show have been asking us to bring a Hell's Kitchen restaurant to life since day one," Ramsay said in a statement. "A key element of the show's success has always been the diners' experience, so we are excited for guests in Las Vegas to feel like they too are part of the show – flames and all." But there's no information about whether the head chef will scream at his crew the entire night, which would truly up the realism.
Naturally, the menu will feature recipes that are cooked on the show. There are a set list of dishes that Ramsay makes contestants cook every season, so if there's not scallops, risotto, and Beef Wellington on the menu, people will be furious enough to pull a Gordon Ramsay themselves.
