Home Care In Gordon Lake, NJ

It was celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay in the flesh at Caesars Atlantic City Thursday night opening his brand-new restaurant Hell's Kitchen.

Ramsay is abrasive and angry when he's dealing with contestants on the 'Hell's Kitchen' reality show. But in reality, he's anything but.

Ramsay displayed nothing but graciousness and gratitude inside THIS Hell's Kitchen. After treating a crowd of very lucky VIPs to a taste of what the restaurant has to offer, Gordon gave a very humble speech praising the Caesars staff, the restaurant's head chef, and partygoers who came out to support him.

Ramsay also managed to squeeze in a nod to the Philadelphia Phillies, who he said he hopes to win the World Series. 'There's a baseball game going on tonight', Ramsay says, 'and I'm hoping the result is way better than last night, fingers crossed', referencing the Phillies Game 4 loss to the Houston Astros.

Check out what he had to say in the video below! (*contains strong language; viewer discretion is advised)

Did he use some profanity during his toast? Yes, but in the BEST way possible as someone who's emphatically enthusiastic about this new project. In true 'Hell's Kitchen' fashion, Gordon's advice to diners: 'If you're not happy with the food, SEND IT BACK!'

Guests noshed on everything from signature Hell's Kitchen cocktails to Beef Wellington with whipped potatoes, to mac and cheese, to the most gigantic cocktail shrimp I've ever seen.

Gordon's Toffee Sticky Pudding was light, sweet, and to die for.

We hear after attending the party he escaped to his room for a massage and to catch Game 5 of the World Series. Hearing him say he was rooting for the Phillies only made me love him more, lol.

Hell's Kitchen is appropriately underground inside Caesars in Atlantic City, occupying the former Dusk nightclub space. It's a fiery, swanky space where you can see everything going on in the kitchen, which kind of makes you feel like you're watching the TV show! I can't wait to go back.

SPRING LAKE, N.J. (CBSNewYork) -- Monmouth County was dealing with snow and windy weather on Monday, but that didn't stop kids from having a little fun in the snow.

As CBS2's Meg Baker reported, Monmouth County did not get hit as hard with snow as places south, but it was bitter cold. The wind was brutal, making it hard to enjoy the little bit of snow that had fallen.

Annie Korth and her brother ran outside their Manasquan home with the first few flurries of the day, throwing mini snowballs at each other as siblings do.

"The snow is really fun," 7-year-old Annie said.

They were bundled for a day outside in the elements thanks to school being canceled. Earlier, their street was flooded from high tide, and storm surge.

"We actually had to wait a couple of hours before we could even get into the road. You live here, you learn," Manasquan resident Cindy Groves said.

It was a wintry beach scene in Spring Lake, with snow-capped dunes, roaring waves, and a thin layer of snow flakes on the boardwalk. The lakeside was blanketed white as the wind whipped, creating poor visibility late in the afternoon.

"It's starting to come down. I was expecting a lot more this morning," said Kasey Commesso.

Parking lots were salted in preparation.

"It's the first of the season. It's not pleasant," said Wall Township resident Steve Weinstein. "The wind chill really gets you."

One father was happy to have company while running errands.

"We just got back last night from Colorado, so this doesn't seem like something we should be canceling school over," said Brian Gordon of Spring Lake.

"I've very happy we had the day off," said ninth grader Lucas Gordon.

"But I got help going to the grocery store," Brian Gordon said.

Locals said the storm is nothing new.

It hit southern New Jersey first, coming up the coast. Down in Cape May, wet, heavy snow coated the streets and cars.

Nancy Romero dusted off her car with a broom.

"I wasn't expecting it," Romero said. "I don't think we had a snow like this in four years."

The snow started coming down in Monmouth County around 10:30 a.m. Light flakes blew in the wind as some braved a walk down the middle of the street. The sides of Fourth Avenue and Brielle Road flooded.

"We're used to it," said Groves.

Most people are familiar with this area moved their cars, but some may have forgotten.

Video posted to Twitter showed some coastal flooding in Stone Harbor.

Gordon Ramsay fans, are you ready for some fiery news?

Chef Ramsay is bringing his famous HELL’S KITCHEN restaurant to Atlantic City this summer.

Gordon Ramsay 'HELL’S KITCHEN,' inspired by the popular FOX television show, will open in Caesars Atlantic City as the first East Coast location for the restaurant.

It joins Gordon Ramsay Steak at Harrah’s Resort and Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill at Caesars.

The celebrity chef has 13 restaurants across the country with locations in Las Vegas, Chicago, Boston, Orlando, Atlantic City, Baltimore, Lake Tahoe and Kansas City, several of which are in partnership with Caesars Entertainment. He also has 40 international restaurants and holds seven Michelin stars.

“We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Michelin star chef and television personality, Gordon Ramsay, and bring the East Coast’s first-ever Gordon Ramsay HELL’S KITCHEN location to Caesars Atlantic City on the famed Atlantic City Boardwalk,” shared John Koster, regional president for Caesars Entertainment’s Eastern Division in a statement.

Experimental and immersive, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped onto the set of the show, Koster said.

The restaurant is envisioned as a destination spot that mirrors the show with three levels of details and de?cor — there’s the signature fiery pitchfork at the entryway, the nod to both the red and blue teams, the chef uniforms and menu items featured on the show.

In the centerpiece kitchen with mosaic tiles, the winner of Season 21 "HELL’S KITCHEN'' will serve dishes as the head chef. Their portrait and those of previous champions will be hung on the winner’s wall.

Guests can watch all the action in the kitchen from any seat in the house, as the restaurant has an open concept.

According to press materials, the menu items will be locally sourced, drawing inspiration from fresh ingredients and local seafood.

It will feature Chef Ramsay’s classic dishes such as the Beef Wellington, the HELL’S KITCHEN Burger, Sticky Toffee Pudding and more.

Atlantic City and visitors throughout the tri-state have been so supportive of Gordon Ramsay Steak and Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill, so I look forward to having them experience another one of my signature concepts,” Chef Ramsay said in a statement.

While the timeline for the opening is not confirmed, a representative for the casino said it might be by August.

By Laurie Gordon ANDOVER — It's located about a mile from Route 206 and just a few miles north of Route 80 in Andover: but you'd never know that. There's even a small airport along its northern shores, but the airport is tiny and the planes but a gentle murmur in the distance. Places like this are hard to find these days. There are no swimming beaches or campgrounds near Lake Aeroflex, but the beauty of this pristine body of water can be thoroughly enjoyed by by getting out on it. That's where Garrett Kazar, from Andover Hunt & Fish comes in. He saw a great opportunity to enable people to enjoy Aeroflex and all of it's wildlife, and three years ago started renting boats. “We're open for the 2018 season, and a customer can call the store if a person is not at our lake kiosk,” Kazar said. “We have staff at the lake full time on weekends now and weekdays this will start on June 15th.” He added, “Many customers book ahead especially if the are in a group or looking fro an electric row boat to go fishing. We rent kayaks, Jon boats with electric motors, paddle boards and canoes.” Lake Aeroflex offers the combination of serenity plus some great fishing. As one of the deepest lakes in New Jersey, landlocked salmon have been stocked there since 2006 when the State of Massachusetts offered their excess hatchery fingerlings to New Jersey's use in its few deep and cold lakes. Additionally, the State also stocks Lake Aeroflex with several species of trout. Kazar said that bass, pickerel and pan fish can also be found. “We offer guided fishing and hunting trips,” he said. “We guide on all local lakes and rivers for trout, landlocked salmon, bass, shad, catfish, muskie, pike and wallaye. We also do guided striper salt water fishing trips which are hot right now. Last year we started guided bear, deer, turkey, ducks, goose and pheasant hunting trips. We have the know how and locations to provide some of the best hunting experiences in New Jersey.” Kazar said, “Hunting and fishing is our passion, and we love sharing our knowledge with anyone who is interested in learning new tricks or a fist time outdoors-men.” Andover Hunt & Fish's latest successful venture was the addition of Kids Fishing Camps which were initiated last year. “Through the camps, boys and girls of all ages experience the best fishing New jersey has to offer and catch all species of fish,” Kazar said. “Everyone brings home dinner. They learn how to use a fishing pole/reel, how to bait a hook and how to land a fish. We use live bait and well as artificial lures, and we go to lakes, ponds, streams and rivers. The moms and dads love to see their children experience the great outdoors.” Andover Hunt & Fish supports ice fishing in the winter, trout, shad, striper and turkey in the spring, bass in the summer and aspects of hunting in the fall. Kazar said, “On the home protection front we offer the best prices and guidance on firearm and ammo purchases, we have become the fastest growing sports shop in New Jersey, and we look forward to another successful year.” For information/registration about the summer fishing camps/parties or boat/bike rental, call Andover Hunt and Fish at: 973-786-7382. The boat launch can be accessed by taking Route 206 north or south to Limecrest Road located adjacent to the Exxon Station in Andover. The boat launch is a few miles down on the left. Andover Hunt & Fish is located at 196 Main Street in Andover.
