A Daring Install for Gordon Ramsay’s First Taco Restaurant
Nestled in the bustling food court of a local casino, the first-ever Gordon Ramsay taco restaurant is already making waves — and not just for its menu. The bold, artistic graphics crowning the kitchen structure are the result of a challenging and masterfully executed install by Barefoot Graphics, a vinyl graphics business based in Western North Carolina.
3M Preferred — and Proud
Barefoot Graphics was founded in November by a talented and driven installer who is proud to be a 3M Preferred Graphics Installer. With years of experience and certification to back their work, they took on this highly complex project and delivered stunning results.
Creative Complexity
The graphics weren’t installed in a typical, flat storefront. The surface presented numerous challenges: tight turns, unexpected edges, and a large overhanging ledge that made accessing the install surface extremely difficult. The installer worked from a lift, reaching out and over architectural obstacles to ensure each piece aligned perfectly — a feat that required patience, precision, and a deep understanding of material handling.
Let the Work Speak for Itself
While the installer humbly gives credit to the designer for the bold, sun-and-moon-inspired aesthetic, the real star here is the flawless execution. Every inch of the application reflects care and craftsmanship, making this space pop with vibrant personality and visual impact.
