More Info about The Fat Cow, Gordon Ramsay's Neighborhood Pub Opening in The Grove

A few more details are circulating about Chef Gordon Ramsay's upcoming eatery at The Grove. Called The Fat Cow, the European-inspired pub will offer a "relaxed, rustic neighborhood dining environment," and "authentic, quality, fresh cuisine utilizing ingredients from all local farms and purveyors," notes a press release about the venture.
Teaming up with Gordon Ramsay Holdings Corporate Executive U.S. Chef Andi Van Willigan, The Fat Cow's menu will include "a rotating roaster, house cured meats, local cheeses, daily inspired dishes from the farmers market, as well as an in house pastry chef offering selections of classic American home desserts with a British pub flare [sic]." No mention of it in the press materials, but hopefully all of this can be washed down with a few quality pints to complete the pub experience.
The 200+ seat restaurant, taking over for The Farm, which departs this month, will be designed by AK Design Network and architects Gold Grenade.
“We’re really excited to bring this concept to life, a place where people can just relax and enjoy a delicious European inspired meal,” said Ramsay.

Van Willigan, a SoCal native seen as a sous chef on Ramsay's "Hell's Kitchen," says this new project and partnership is "really exciting."
The Fat Cow is expected to open 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.
