I always try to give Hell's Kitchen contestants the benefit of the doubts as this competition
is not from the faint of heart and even great chefs make their fair share of mistakes but
for certain other chefs the pressure of Hell's Kitchen gets to them right away as they can't
even find their footing during the first couple days of the competition making a very bad first
impression and leading to the ever so embarrassing first boot label what's going on guys I'm Flynn
Masters and today we'll be taking a look back at some of the worst and most notorious first
boots in Hell's Kitchen history now obviously pretty much offers boots have had some serious
problems but these first boots stand out more due to just how out of their element they truly
were in Hell's Kitchen before we begin if you love Hell's Kitchen then please be sure to hit
that like And subscribe Button as this is the place to be if you love long and short form HK
content with all that said let's pay homage to some of the most legendary first boots in
Hell's Kitchen history bloody hell here we go again let's start off with the first true
iconic first boots in Hell's Kitchen with that being Polly from season two I've always said how
it's unfortunate that Carolyn was the first boot in Hell's Kitchen history as man Polly
is absolutely more of what you would expect from a first Boot and I wish he had gone down as the
very first but nonetheless polyester remains a very iconic figure in Hell's Kitchen and
is often regarded as the very first HK donkey and yeah I'm just gonna let these clips play
out and not say anything more as I think Paulie's actions can speak for themselves um it's an undone
focaccia bread with the garlic dipping oil undone what does that mean undone it means it's not done
right now I'd rather eat poodles and put that in my mouth back in line [Music]
yeah and why is it stiff and this is with help are you happy to send that no sir I'm not get it
in the bin and start again throw that away yes taste that please yeah and what do you think I
think it's planned you think it's bland oh man why are you serving me bland food you're telling
me it's bland Oh Lordy in the red kitchen Polly is making her fourth attempt at her first ticket
Polly stop all you do you'll now the kitchen donkey Heather get on the [ __ ] appetizers
this is a journey and right now we're going to hell and
back to make sure we find the right person and Polly her chance [Music]
but speaking of donkeys there's probably no better case of someone being the first dude
solely due to the lack of kitchen etiquette then Chrissa from season 14. because here's
the thing while Krista had easily the worst signature dish of the group she made no dinner
service mistakes so why was she the first boot you ask well it's because she showed
legitimately no kitchen awareness and seemed really confused about what to do in the kitchen
despite making a living as a chef I was in the cookie aisle and I was looking at cookies what
in the [ __ ] is that ginger cookie crusted chicken breast yeah that's what's in there
oh what goes in Arizona you're missing the chives the lobster um a little bit more salt
would it would have been good okay and you put a little bit too much garlic you just want to
run out of here you want to run out of here I'm just tired there's no terrified in this
Chrissy all right yeah I'm doing well thank you yeah are you sure yeah no I needed to go to the
bathroom for dinner service would any of you mind if Chris disappears to the bathroom before she
pees her knickers okay Crystal off you go so embarrassing I think I thought you said Pizza
he didn't say pizza we're gonna add two pork what two four we're okay right now I know okay
Sarah yes
okay come here come outside and see if we can help teeth Chrissa is completely out of her element in
the kitchen without Krista we're in better shape we end off this Trio of donkey first boots with
the biggest donkey of them all in Scott seriously it's amazing that casting are able to find these
types of people because some of the things Scott said and did made you question if he was actually
a chef or an actor pretending to play the part of a dumb Chef Scott came into season 18 as a
possible favorite as he was the oldest Chef on the rookies team and was an executive chef heck
he even closed down his own restaurant back home to come out to Hell's Kitchen but let's just say
Scott would stand out for all the wrong reasons during this two episode run in Hell's Kitchen how
many risotto are going just one oh oh one pasta tableside to risotto hurt yes yeah can you send
me three what do you need chef oh my God I'm confused Chef what you're confused I need this
shrimp for the risotto I will put him on right now Chef I'm sorry chef hey donut why are you cooking
the shrimp and you'd already done the order it's gone tableside Scott Lee is doing table sides
let me show you what tableside means tableside means it's sat next to the table yes yeah
this is so embarrassing what have I not seen well I I know beef extremely well
great you should be a butcher take off your jacket
the good news is your restaurant's open tomorrow night now get out of here yeah chef
the next worst first boot in Hell's Kitchen is Steven from season nine it's funny too as
numerous of chefs on the boot team screwed up that night and there was some serious debate on
who the second nominee should be however there is no need to argue about the first nominee as
that was unanimously Steven after his disastrous performance Not only was Stephen just a complete
all-around mess on the apps that night but he was so delusional that he thought Chef Ramsay
was in the wrong at points when he said something negative about his food a bad signature dish a
bad service and a complete know-it-all can't do much worse than Steven did here in the season
9 Premiere I've been cooking 30 years nobody else has a chance in this thing honestly it's
like toenails I'm a [ __ ] dinosaur which can't go forever it's got good flavor can't be that
deluded put the plate down and work with two hands treasure hurry up Scouts are in the window touch
Chef so what springy when you spring back usually they're ready so they're ready are they
I feel that they're ready sit down and eat them enjoy your springy scallops let me know how you
feel halfway through Bon Appetit I think they're perfect I realized early on that Stephen had as
much chance of being the head chef at BLT Steak as I do of winning a gold medal in figure skating
I've mentioned this Chef a lot before on this channel due to just how much of a meme he would
end up becoming after his terrible first episode with that being Tavon from season 10 tavon's
opening night dinner service wasn't just bad but it's literally one of the worst services
in Hell's Kitchen history not only did he serve up a raw freaking pigeon but he essentially screwed
over the entire service when he butchered all the scallops and to top it all off he thought
it was one big joke [Music] the pitch is so wrong look this pigeons that Roar can still fly touch it
stun's cold and roll who sliced all these someone else did my plaster whose face the scallops Chef
there's no question I did look at these expensive hand-dive scallops look that's it it's everything
we're in trouble you sliced all that we haven't even served one table I guess I froze I mean you
froze what else what else do you want me to say do you haven't even defrosted do you think it's funny
do me a favor yeah [ __ ] off upstairs get out but let's not forget about his signature dish either
which is arguably the worst of the night and on top of that he was very arrogant the entire time
boasting about his executive chef status at 22. kakiba can't back it up a terrible signature dish
an all-time bad dinner service and didn't even seem to care about his mistakes and the words
of Susan where does Tavon and executive chef of a hot dog stand your position now is what um DC and
hold you I'm only 22. you're 22. yes and you're an executive chef running a brigade of chefs yes well
done yeah amazing thank you how much vinegar did you put in there like a drizzle drizzle
a little more than a drizzle it's rank I mean it really is bad I mean really bad that's the first
time anybody said my food was so [ __ ] up on so many different levels this is horrible how afraid
of my ass keeping in line with this season's order let's now talk about the first boot of Hell's
Kitchen season 11 Sebastian season 11 was one of only two seasons that feature 20 chefs which means
you have to really stand out in the worst of ways to be considered the worst Chef in a group of 20.
and yeah Sebastian definitely made sure he stood out from the pack now to be fair while a senator
dish was bad it wasn't as bad as some of the other dishes and honestly his dinner service wasn't even
necessarily an all-time bad one that would warrant her first boot as Ramsay was on a kicking out
spree that night and didn't give Sebastian much of a chance to fight back after his slow start
on the apps but what makes the Bastion arguably the most iconic first boot of all time is his
extreme lack of seriousness when it comes to the intense environments of Hell's Kitchen okay Mikey
thank you all right come here Zacky wacky hey look at me no Chef yeah do me a favor get out
yes yeah get out yes upstairs get out what are you doing where the hell are you going Sebastian
okay yeah you can come back second time get out God are you kidding me [ __ ] off wacky
until the Lamb's ready yes yeah and when it's together like oh you can I please come back
Chef you come here you're making me look stupid no Chef you for the last time take him and him
get out and honorable mentioned Agora of The Following Season as he was also the
first boot in a group of 20. he had a slow start on the ABS and a terrible signature
dish but it was really one specific thing that made him stand out as an easy first
boot for Chef Ramsay no I know you [ __ ] standing there playing with yourselves oh no
are you hey would you not stick our fingers in the food lick it and then go back inside
I'll get a grip Chef don't worry about getting the grip next time you're out
we have an interesting scenario to talk about now as it involves the first two boots of season six
in Louis and Melinda now technically Louis was the first boot of the Season as he got
kicked out before Melinda was actually properly eliminated but hey I'm already gonna break the
rules in a second so might as well talk about Melinda along with Louis here as expected the
two both had very bad signature dishes but while Louie was pushy about it Melinda's
presentation was just flat out bizarre my dish that's very rich and succulent at luscious and
velvety you can just feel what's happening in your mouth and satisfaction that comes
where's the lobster tail [Music]
absolutely pathetic and then once dinner service came they both had services so bad that a lady
made Chef Ramsay's voice crack in despair oh my God why'd you throw that away Melinda
how much is in the bin
look what is this look at this look look what the [ __ ] is this okay upstairs get your bags packed
can I help can I help you can help me get out but to me the worst first boots in Hell's Kitchen
history is Matthew from Hell's Kitchen Young Guns I know I know he's not technically the first boot
as that goes to Ava but come on as we saw the next season that could have easily been avoided had Ava
just argue to stay and in general I think she was a plant by the show to promote her bodybuilding
career okay maybe I'm stretching this a bit but I simply can't talk about the worst first boots
in Hell's Kitchen without mentioning Matthew as in my opinion no Chef will ever outdo his train
wreck performance the oldest contestant on Young Guns Matthew wasn't even an actual Chef as he
was a food blogger but trust me after the first two episodes of the season I think we all could
have guessed that in the premiere Matthew made a poor statement right away have an easy the worst
signature dish out of the group I'm a big lover of shrimp okay but I'm not very good at eating shrimp
and the sack why didn't you clean the shrimp ah I I didn't notice it I was going too fast
I didn't notice that would you like a little bite of a sack I'll avoid it my bad you gotta get the
poop out you're literally serving Chef Ramsay were you actually drunk when you put this dish together
so I'll give you a two thank you he then nearly escaped to actually be in the first
boot of the season after his alcohol dish was an absolute no-go and what is that
all you come here you guys wanted me to eat pink chicken seriously no [ __ ] and this is your top
dish get back in line again I truly think his dish and overall potential was far worse than
neighbors but Ramsay kept Matthew around because he knew he would likely be a complete train wreck
come dinner service and yeah train wreck would be an understatement to describe Matthew's
performance on opening night blam salmon please Salmon's walking up now hey come here hey come
here come here without even looking slicing just touch that yeah sorry it's rare space
do you think it's funny in front of your Chef table
I mean seriously who cooked that lamb Chef come on guys come on come on Matthew makes a desperate
attempt to get his chicken temperature right Matthew pulls out a digital thermometer where the
hell do we get digital thermometers or chicken one salmon how long uh we have three minutes
on the chicken nine minutes seven minutes three seven nine come here are you all of you come here
Matthew what's going on it's just really fast and we're trying really fast yes
so in Matthew's short H.K Ryan he produced the worst signature dish of the Season made
yet another bad dish that should have got him eliminated and then finished it off with the
service that proved he indeed had no real life kitchen experience Matthew's elimination was so
obvious that Ramsay didn't even give him a chance to plead and thus his embarrassing 2 episode Arc
came to an end and in my opinion forever ingrained himself as the worst first boots in Hell's Kitchen
history Matthew at signature dish you delivered me a dish full of [ __ ] and the alcohol challenge
you serve me a raw chicken tonight you serve me real loud therefore I'm not listening to your
ball give me your jacket and the next time you decide to cook protein use it properly good night
