Snoop Dogg is planning to open up a restaurant in Glasgow - with Gordon Ramsay. The 50-year-old rapper first met the fiery Scot on his The F Word show in America five years ago.
Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Broadus J, released his first cook book From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes from That Boss Dogg’s Kitchen in 2018 and has turned to Gordon for cooking hacks.

And as well as his personal favourites like fried chicken he’s also thinking of offering haggis at his Scots eaterie. Snoop 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.” While Snoop is best known for rap classics like Gin and Juice and Drop It Like It’s Hot and can currently be seen in Netflix vampire movie Day Shift, he’s also a self-confessed foodie who has been cooking for his kids and grandkids for
