as with season 21 being just around the corner there's no better time than now to join the
awesome community of hk fans on this channel with all that said strap yourselves in and let's relive
the greatest and most iconic moments in hell's kitchen history bloody hell here we go again
i figured that it would be fitting that we started off with the first true holy crap moment in the
show's history which came during the third episode of the series and it showed right away to the
audience and future chefs that gordon ramsay will eat you alive if you have any type of thin skin
after under performing in the first three services and getting an earful from ramsay
jeff had enough and threw in the towel becoming the very first chef to quit the show and this
would be a foreshadowing of just how crazy chefs can get when their stress is at a max and why
this show was indeed called hell's kitchen you're not a cook either you're an [ __ ] what was that
what did you just say what did you say you don't like me i don't know what to tell you you're an
very quickly two seconds jeff will not be returning to hell's kitchen he'd crack if
somebody was yelling at him not about to walk off because somebody yelled at me too much
as i said hell's kitchen is an extremely stressful environment and sometimes the stress of it all can
cause the chefs to go after one another yeah you wouldn't exactly think of pro chefs as the type
of people to get potentially physical but hell's kitchen has provided us with some seriously iconic
fights throughout the years but in my opinion the craziest fights came from the red team of
season 10. i mean they're called hell's [ __ ] for a reason from their insane hatred of barbie
to robin and kimmy's iconic battle while it was hard to watch at times you can't deny just how
iconic the fights from this season truly are what are you doing really i just washed the
dishes i came out here with you going like this no i'm not if you want to get choked up i'm not
nasty [ __ ]
in my opinion the most iconic and entertaining service in the show's history is the opening night
dinner service of season 11. the service took up the entire episode and for good reason not only
would this be a foreshouting of things to come for the blue team as nearly their entire team was
kicked out but four of the red team members were also kicked out making that 12 total ejections
from the kitchen the largest amount in hell's kitchen history we also got arguably the most
dominant individual service from zack here and to top it all off zacky wacky i mean what more could
you ask for from a hell's kitchen service jackie we got to meet halibut juan brazino jackie wacky
zacky wacky sorry i apologize about that chef yeah do me a favor get out yes
do you need the one for the redo and the two chicken and two wellington or do you
just need the two chicken into wellington get out
what are you doing i had to get my water strapped get out get out
get out get out
another person gets kicked out that's like another blow to me i literally feel my body shutting down
oh god i'm literally telling myself if you think that you know you're going to pass out guess what
think again bye zank all right yeah too fast two bus go please let's do it during the first four
seasons of hell's kitchen chef ramsay slowly began to break his original set of rules in season two
he made both teams losers instead of just one in season three he didn't give melissa a chance to
plead her case and in season four he went away from corey's nominations to eliminate sharon
but it wasn't until season five that truly showed you never know what to expect from chef ramsay as
he eliminated a chef from the winning team in an absolute shocker i feel personally has given up
carol
jacket off and you're leaving hell's kitchen youtube back in line
you didn't even make a comeback you gave up thank you good night
it's time we talk about the first of many iconic moments to come from season six with
the first one being tiniel's epic confrontation with chef ramsay cause you're crap you're crap
hey madam madam get out yes no problem oh no you know you're lying you're lying get off
get off my back does that mean you might don't need that turn around tell me that i'm crazy
are you going to keep it shut shut hey madam yes i want an answer i'm on my way back into the kitchen
yeah let's go confrontations with ramsay are of course always epic but i think what makes
this one so great is that denial really did stand her ground here and would be the
turnaround she needed to make it all the way to the final four it really just goes to show that
ramsay truly does care about his contestants and knows how to bring out the best in them
the greatest comeback you never forget that no way head up high always chef
one of the reasons why hell's kitchen is still going strong 21 seasons later is due to the meme
worthy moments that still live on in 2022 with argo be the most iconic meme coming from the
first black jacket service of season two if you saute scallops in a nonstick pan they won't stick
that's why it's called non-stick i don't know what non-stick means in texas sweetheart but
me yes good lord it's amazing that a man losing his voice due to the stupidity of chefs can still
live on over 15 years later the signature dish challenge is the first opportunity for chefs to
show gordon ramsay their potential and it usually always comes within the first 15 minutes of the
season man talk about starting the season off with a bang this challenge has been filled with so many
iconic moments throughout the years due to ramsay absolutely ripping in the chefs libby within
minutes of meeting them for the first time these dishes have made ramsay disgusted physically ill
and he's even questioned the chef's will to be there due to their horrendous efforts shown
i know i'm somewhat cheating here by not picking out one specific dish but this
challenge in general is so iconic that i simply can't choose only one moment
oh my god right now i'd rather eat poodle and put that in my mouth
tortellini what's inside the filling it's just a cheese it's a packaged tortellini fresh tortellini
please tell me you use fresh tomatoes uh they were canned tomatoes
come on that was a
joke what did you just say
you got anything to say to me say it to my face not my back you've got to shut off yeah
i call the exotic tartare because it's with venison and diver scallops with caviar and
white chocolate and oh stop stop says let me just get this right again diver scallops
chopped up caviar and white chocolate do you smoke cigarettes no
that must be one of the worst combinations i've ever tasted in 21 years of cooking piss off with
you you knew season six was going to be a good season after the insanity of the first service
in one night not only did we get yet another legendary voice crack and meme from ramsay
but we also had the first ever opening night ejection in hell's kitchen history
all culminating in robert getting a second chance after he was forced to be pulled
from the competition at the final five the previous season truly a full circle episode
oh my god why'd you throw that away melinda look at all this
who's putting all this in the bin how many portions are you putting in there look look
what the [ __ ] is this look at this look look look what the [ __ ] is this upstairs get your
bags packed can i help can i help you you can help me get out i would love you to seriously consider
coming back into hell's kitchen i would love to take that off
good to see you baby i'm back you know what i'm saying and i plan on winning hell's kitchen
there's no question that elise is one of the most notable chefs to ever enter
hell's kitchen but it's obviously not for the best of reasons i'm extremely excited
that i'm safe and i'm ready to go rub it in michelle's face i'm not being nice anymore
it's on oh you opened a can of worms it's on now baby however due to this behavior producers
knew she would be ratings gold and kept her around far too long with her surviving over
jennifer still being one of the most unfair eliminations in the show's history and after
elise had a great final four past performance it seemed all but a lot she would make it to
the final two and the scary possibility of at least winning hell's kitchen might actually
become a reality there's one of you that i feel can command the kitchen better than the other
and won't back down no matter what the person joining will is
simply the most satisfying moment in the history of hell's kitchen
let's finish off part one with an all-time classic moment from old school health's kitchen
in the first two seasons eliminations occurred naturally as after a service
chef ramsay would name one or both teams as losers and they would be forced to nominate two people
with ramsay deciding who would go home but at the first black jacket service of season three
josh had won the worst services ever and for the first time in hell's kitchen history chef ramsay
didn't even wait until the nomination ceremony as he eliminated a chef during the middle of service
what are you doing what are you doing sorry sir yeah do me a favor yes sir take that off
get up ahead of it get out get out hey you leave the jacket and get out give me the [ __ ] jacket
get out get out
