hello everyone welcome back to the film insight channel hope you're having an
awesome day today quite a few contestants have gained praise and adoration from viewers worldwide
but the ones we're covering in today's video were loved by fans so sit back relax and without
further ado let's get right into the content guys we're starting with john scallion there's
two choices you run your team or the team runs you yes sir okay john scallion was a contestant
who finished third in the 11th season of hell's kitchen scallion was one great chef and it was a
shame that he didn't win scallion was always very focused passionate hard-working and determined he
also had the perfect amalgamation of being a team player loaded with leadership and creative skills
even with only two subpar services he learned his lessons every step of the way and grew to
be a better self when most of the chefs in season 11 were busy backstabbing or talking poorly about
others scallion always kept himself away from all the drama instead he focused on just one
thing the show he can be regarded as one of the best chefs that the whole show has ever seen
visually it's got that wow factor it pops and the fish is cooked beautifully glistening it's
delicious very good indeed thank you many viewers had their hopes pinned on scallion
the choice of winner for the season made many viewers question the show being rigged scallion
was never nominated for elimination and it was a big shock for many of us to see him getting
eliminated while in the top three a tiny mistake in the black jacket challenge cost him very dearly
everyone can have one bad day but it doesn't mean that they're not capable nevertheless win or no
win he left a significant mark in everyone's mind and became one of the most favorite chefs to be
featured on hell's kitchen come here come here look at that you just tell me that that that's
dude that's too raw you know that [ __ ] get it got it fixed it that [ __ ] was too salty fix that
what do you think about scallion do you think he deserved to be the winner
during the eliminations chef Ramsay had no comment to make instead he praised scallion for being the
shining star of the blue team and allowed him to keep his black jacket post hell's kitchen scallion
has found the dream he had set out for did you know scallion was the first non-winner to work
in a chef Ramsay restaurant chef Ramsay offered him a sous-chef position at Gordon Ramsay steak
where he was working with chef christina wilson currently he is working as an executive chef for
donna f white ii and as a creator at farm to fork rebels scallion is even a territory manager of us
foods he is also working as an executive chef in the Gordon Ramsay north america group
many reddit users requested an ama from scallion but he never responded up next is kevin cottle
there's nothing going to get in the way of the prize here you know i'm just going to
bite the bullet bear the pain kevin cottle who made his debut in the sixth season of the show
finished as a runner-up he was back in the 18th season where he placed in 14th cottle was a truly
determined chef who even rivaled a fan favorite like dave levy his determination knew no bounds
this was made evident when despite injuring his ankle during one of the punishments he
continued to fight until the finale despite knowing that he could be asked to leave the
competition because of his injury cottle remained focused he assured Chef Ramsay that he was fine
and maintained a great composure throughout the competition how's your ankle they're great chef
right everyone knows working in the service industry means long hours of standing
and despite the injury cottle was impressive at every dinner service did you know that cottle was
never nominated for elimination in season six this guy clearly had a passion for winning every fan
was torn between levy and cottle and why not they were both great chefs of course many wanted to
see cottle win but what do you think who was more deserving let us know ankle about two bum ankles
in a cast hobbling around i need those sides dude you gotta go i'm ready dude anyway cottle was
back for season 18 but sadly we couldn't see the passionate determined and fantastic chef we knew
from season six whilst most of us were excited to have him back others thought otherwise for those
who had pinned their hopes on cottle walking home with a trophy in the comeback season they were
in for disappointment the burning passion that he showed in season six had died out it felt like he
had lost his will to fight what what is happening what is happening guys after being eliminated from
season 18 chef Ramsay said kevin was a standout in his first time in hell's kitchen unfortunately
he seemed more determined to head back to the ski slopes than to the las vegas strip unfortunately
this time around he seemed more determined to head back to the ski slopes than to the las vegas strip
post hell's kitchen cottle returned to his previous role as executive chef
at farmington country club later he moved to jordan caterers where he worked till 2013.
cottle became an executive chef and partner at powder ridge mountain park and resort
after his second appearance cottle returned to his post in powder ridge mountain park
in march 2019 he started working for american cruise lines as a corporate executive chef
and remained partnered with powder ridge mountain park and resort in 2009 cottle hosted a reddit ama
where he answered fans questions the one that caught our attention was when someone asked him
if the joseph tenelli incident was fake he cleared the air that everything that was aired did happen
for real cottle also mentioned that he did way more crazy things not shown in televised series
apparently there are way more crazy stories about tineli we're left wondering if we could get our
hands on that footage in an interview cottle said well we are informed that we are competing for
a restaurant position that could include a head chef position that's how it was during season six
anyway we're informed that we are not guaranteed a head chef position i will say that i understand as
a chef i find it hard to believe that an owner would willingly allow a chef off the street
to come in and be a head chef regardless of their references i wanted to win but even
if i didn't i saw it as a chance to become well known by other larger chefs in the area
dave levy come back it's my bad hand and like i could give the team 100 dave levy was the winner
of season six levy was one determined chef who would never give up remember when he broke his
wrist in one of the punishments and continued with the competition it would be a great shame for you
to exit now on the back of you know a ligament problem it's your weakest hand fortunately you can
say that he quite literally single-handedly won the competition that's the kind of determination
i'm talking about there's no doubt why he makes it to this list of fans favorites levy was often
asked to leave hal's kitchen because of his broken wrist but he always fought back with
an energetic i'm fine despite all the pain he had to endure he never let it take over he was even
labeled as the best of the worst in one of the episodes dave away on table 20. 20 chef yes yeah
levy was also very consistent had excellent leadership skills and was full of passion
did you know that he was never nominated for elimination and won most of the challenges in
season six levy won eight challenges with each passing day levy got better in the competition
and boy was he fast in the kitchen levy was a great team player as well he always asked his
team if they needed any help and always cooperated with them he was one of the strongest chefs on the
show and many fans agree after winning the competition chef ramsay commented dave has
a natural ability and a sophisticated palette he fought through excruciating pain excelled and won
hell's kitchen he will be an amazing asset to the iraqi restaurant and bar in whistler and i'd like
to wish him the best of luck honestly i don't think he'll need it palette he fought through
excruciating pain and excelled and went on to win hell's kitchen in an interview with press reader
levy expressed how he was slightly surprised after being called the winner but he was confident he
said that he stuck to his guns and closely followed what chef Ramsay wanted to be done
post hell's kitchen dave worked at the auraxi restaurant until the end of the 2010 winter
olympic games apparently it turned out to be a line cook position instead of the head chef
as per nj.com leavy went back to the new jersey restaurant il gardino 86 where he worked before
winning the show in 2014 he was busted for possessing drugs but he was released upon
being proven innocent as of now he is working as the lead baker at marva's cafe and bakery
in denville new jersey mara's cafe and bakery have some great ratings on facebook they have
a rating of 4.3 on tripadvisor they have a rating of 4 though yelp has only 3.5 stars
one of the customers wrote very cute tons of seating good coffee the cake was also delicious
we stopped in on a saturday after dinner elsewhere and it was a nice way to end the evening we saw
whole pies for sale and they look delicious we'll definitely be back to pick one up in the future
