Gordon Ramsay Was In Minnesota – Here’s What He Was Filming

This was definitely not on my BINGO card...but it's awesome! Rumors have been swirling that a superstar has been hanging in our neck of the woods this week and now they have been confirmed.

For context, social media was buzzing this week after a restaurant in Big Lake closed their doors temporarily. Pairing that with the fact that several locals in the area took to social media to claim they saw Gordon Ramsay - and the pieces all came together.

Everyone assumed (and rightfully so) that the famous chef was in town filming something at the restaurant and those in the area even went to scope it out - and spotted Gordon and a camera crew.

All of this to say, the news has officially been confirmed, as the restaurant in question shared that they have re-opened and that he was really there revamping their menu!

The episode will air in two to five months. We will keep you updated! It is fun to see a huge show filmed in Minnesota - and I love that so many people camped out to catch a glimpse. Otherwise, we may not have known what was being filmed.

Big Lake is about two and half hours from the Duluth area. It would have been worth a road trip for sure!
