A Kitchen Nightmare That Was: Gordon Ramsay Fixes Sante La Brea
()
Eating L.A. caught a Craigslist post touting that Sante La Brea did up a new menu, compliments of Chef Gordon Ramsay. In a phone conversation with the health conscious restaurant, who LAist visited last May to try vegan pizza, they said an episode of Kitchen Nightmares will feature them around next October.
Their website points towards their new name, Sante Cuisine, with a new menu to be posted "soon" (whatever that means).
For now, to find out what's on that menu, you can visit them, sample and give feedback. For Sante fans, the menu is not a 100% redo as they incorporated restaurant favorites with Ramsay's menu, which is a bit more upscale, minus the cheesy fake meats. However, tofu and vegan options will still be offered along with the natural and health themes its foods always carried. Ramsay never seems to be a fan when the restaurant goes back with old menu items, so it will be interesting to see how he reacts when and if he revisits the restaurant this summer.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
