SNOOP Dogg is planning to open a restaurant with Gordon Ramsay in Glasgow.

The 50-year-old rapper, whose real name is Calvin Broadus J, met the famous chef on his show The F Word in America five years ago. 

Snoop, who is a big Celtic fan, released his first cookbook in 2018 Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes from That Boss Dogg’s Kitchen in 2018 has reportedly turned to the Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares star for cooking tips.

The Daily Record reports the Drop It Like It's Hot rapper said: "I have been speaking with my boy Gordon for a while about opening a restaurant together - but the pandemic slowed things right down.

"Gordon has got a few places in Vegas and Vegas is Snoop’s city - so I kind of figured that we would open a place there - but I know Gordon is from Scotland and people know my love for Scotland and for Glasgow as a city so - why not there."

As well as offering dishes such as burgers and fried chicken, he also hopes the eaterie will offer traditional Scottish dishes like haggis. 

He said: "It would be food everybody could enjoy - food for the family.

"Burgers, mac n cheese, fried chicken - and maybe one or two local dishes like haggis just to keep things authentic."

The Daily Record reports he added: "I’m just a foodie. I don’t look like it, but I am.

"I love different styles of food, different cultures and different tastes.

"So I do a lot of studying, which I know people don’t believe, but that’s how I was able to put a cookbook together.

"Now I want to go further and open a restaurant and where better than to start than Scotland?"
