Blend On Main In Manasquan Reportedly Got Gordon Ramsay Assist

MANASQUAN – "Gordon Ramsay’s 24 Hours to Hell and Back:" paid a visit to the Blend on Main restaurant in Manasquan recently, but it wasn't really a courtesy one, according to Heavy.com. The episode, titled “Blend on Main,” aired Wednesday, Jan. 15.

According to an interview on Blend on Main’s website, producers of a network show reached out to Chef Lou in late August, asking if he wanted to be part of a renovation show "where you get a nice chunk of change to refresh the space."

"I thought to myself, we needed a refresh. Things get stale you know? So…I took the first meeting. It seemed legit. I am a hard sell, trust me," Chef Lou said.

He said he was pretty confident in his staff, the food and his place to look good to any of the people that they would bring and judge.

"Little did I know it was the big bad wolf! Gordon Fricken Ramsey," he said. "I was looking for the publicity to help get things moving and generate business. They say..any publicity is good publicity. Right?"

But Ramsay so nice to him, he said. "I didn’t like some of the angles they were taking. I guess they needed drama for the show though. We shall see on the final edit."

" He is a great chef. We didn’t get to play tennis or anything, but he did great things for our family at the restaurant and at home. He actually told me, 'You are a great chef.' That is all I needed. Hopefully that airs. I would do it again though."
