UNCHARTED GORDON RAMSAY SERIES
Other locations this season include Mexico, Croatia - and in next week’s season finale, Finland.Gordon Ramsey visited the vineyards in the region to film an episode for the Uncharted series for National Geographic Colares Wines are unique for various reasons: “Especially how beautiful the scenery is up there, I hope it inspires people to show up and visit respectfully … take pictures, leave footprints, and that’s it.” “Hopefully it makes Yoopers proud to be from the U.P., and I hope it makes people who’ve never been entertain the idea of going,” he said. The episode serves as a snapshot of what Rigato loves about the U.P. “If I’m making a certain sauce, I might fold in a wild strawberry jam to recreate some of the flavors that I find up there.” “I even buy from the Jam Pot to get different jams,” he said. Rigato’s used many of those local ingredients at Mabel Gray, which specializes in rustic, local foods. “We’re just two dudes taking a break from the world and enjoying nature.” “For me, if we’re going to cook on the water on Lake Superior in summertime, up north, it’s chill, we’re having fun,” he said. Instead, he treated it as he would any of his collaboration dinners. Rigato said he didn’t approach the cookoff looking to compete with Ramsay. The Yoopers who helped Ramsay along the way are both dinners guests and judges.
The episode culminates in a cook-off between Ramsay and Rigato at Presque Isle Park in Marquette. “Gordon Ramsay kind of explores the ins and outs of what to do, why to do it and who to do it with.” “It’s certainly bringing more attention to the fact that this is such a mecca for outdoor recreation and a unique culture that people want to experience,” Laubhan said. Throughout the episode, Ramsay meets with several Yoopers to collect local ingredients, whether hunting for woodcock, foraging for mushrooms or digging postholes to earn jam. “In hindsight, we really should have had him put his signature on the bike.” “When we’re sizing customers on the bike, we’ll tell them, ‘This is our Gordon Ramsay special,'” Laubhan said. The staff has since dubbed the bike “the Gordon Ramsay Flyer.” It wasn’t until they received the waiver for the rental payment the next day they learned it was Gordon Ramsay. They received a “mystery reservation” for a 6-foot, 3-inch man needing an extra-extra-large helmet and pedals for a size 15 foot, said owner Shelby Laubhan. Ramsay can also be seen riding the Flow trail on Brockway Mountain, using a bike he rented from the Keweenaw Adventure Company.
“You have a lot of the wild thimbleberries going around and the cool stone work, so it was kind of a cool little ghost town vibe to start off the episode,” Rigato said. Rigato’s persistence paid off, as the final episode includes a stop at the Jam Pot and a visit to the Delaware Mine with Rigato that starts Ramsay on his mission. While the episode includes spots throughout the western and central U.P., Rigato said he was adamant about featuring the Keweenaw. “When they reached out, asked if i was interested in the U.P., I said, ‘Very much so.'”
But I think the Keweenaw is the most special.”Īn “Uncharted” producer reached out to Rigato, a Michigan native and someone with past experience on shows like “Top Chef.” “I love the outdoors, I love the mountain biking scene … Obviously I love Munising and Marquette, there’s a lot of great stuff in the Upper Peninsula.
