i've said this before but it bears repeating winning hell's kitchen
deserves some serious respect to be a great chef despite having little sleep dealing
with [ __ ] left and right and having to meet the standards of ramsay's kitchen
while also standing out as a leader to where ramsay puts his faith in you to run his very
own restaurant it truly does take a talented chef to win this competition however despite
every hell's kitchen winner being talented in some way or another that doesn't mean they're
perfect and sometimes they even make raj level of mistakes in the kitchen what's going on guys i'm
flint masters and today we'll be looking at the top 5 worst mistakes from hell's kitchen winners
before we begin if you love hell's kitchen then please be sure to smash that like and subscribe
button as we're building a great hk community on this channel and with season 21 starting in just
a couple weeks now is the best time to jump on board to support the channel with all that said
let's count down the worst mistakes by top tier chefs of hell's kitchen bloody hell here we go
again let's start off with some honorable mentions before getting into the top five
the signature dish challenge is of course always an important intro for a chef to show gordon
ramsay their potential but i think it's safe to say that danny from hk5 and latasha from hk13
weren't very high on ramsay's radar after the best dish they could come up with in 45 minutes
was a grilled piece of fruit and the name of the dish is one mahigo and bananas chef
it looks like you've gone slightly bananas so the idea came from where i just pulled it out
of my asser put it back in there because it sucks grilled hickory rub watermelon
seriously you got 45 minutes to make me anything and you grill me a slice of melon yes sir
it's underwhelming one
rock was also the first ever chef in hell's kitchen to not make his dish from scratch
which of course is a cardinal sin for chef ramsay um i'm excited you have time to make noki
i didn't have time to make it it was frozen
you serve me frozen gnocchi in season two heather was actually threatening to be eliminated on the
spot after preparing appetizers before the customers had ordered why are you cooking
spaghetti ahead it takes six minutes six minutes i'll take off your apron yeah and off back home
do you want to go no chef why don't you just get in a box and vinaigrette it and yeah have a pickup
or something like a drive-through that's gonna be called your question how'd this drive through no
you know i wonder if the reason why josh decided to do this a season later was due
to thinking this would manifest in him winning the season as well small spaghetti in there i'm sorry
we cooked spaghetti to order yes chef and lastly i know i would never hear the end
of it if i didn't include michelle say what you will about michelle's controversial win
but i don't think she did anything super bad during her season 17 run except for when she
somehow missed the pasta being undercoated not once but twice taste that for me is that done
30 more seconds okay i want you to taste it come here dig in it looks like a lot chef
taste it just taste it it's crunchy as [ __ ] i need a mouth here michelle
it's done michelle says here's done see if that's cooked
it's raw yeah thanks michelle my bad i've speculated this before but i do wonder if
michelle was intentionally trying to make man to look bad here as it's very suspicious that
everyone else noticed the pasta being undercooked right away yet she missed it twice good job
me twice now to begin the top five we have a mistake coming from one of the all-time
great chefs of hell's kitchen with that being christina wilson now when i say all-time great
i don't necessarily mean an all-time great winner as while you can't deny the success christina's
had after the show many hk fans find her a bit overrated due to the amount of mistakes she
made in season 10 with her worst mistake coming during the very first dinner service she was put
on entrees that night and safe to say she had a miserable time with the wellingtons completely
backing up the kitchen and causing the opening night dinner service to be shut down oh my gosh
seriously come here the dough is still raw are you for real you want me to serve that out there now
15 what minutes on the wellingtons for 50 minutes service definitely was silent
look it's like snot there's just no thought shut it down and clean up yeah
now you could argue that this is just simply a bad service from an overall great chef
and doesn't deserve to be on the list however what i think makes this service so bad for christina
was that had the red team lost that service i truly do think she could have been the first
boot of the season more than likely it would have been her and roshni up for elimination and as we
saw during the season ramsay saw tons of potential in roshni saving her from elimination three times
that season and even gave her a second chance on the blue team i really do think christina
could have been in serious danger standing next to roshini had it indeed been those two up for
elimination man it's crazy to think that one of the most successful chefs to ever come out
of hell's kitchen was nearly the first boot of the season thank you tavon for completely obliterating
those poor scallops who sliced all these and it come here you executive chef come here
look at these expensive hand dive scallops look that's it it's everything we're in trouble
you sliced all them we haven't even turned one table
we all know the dreaded feeling of having a brain fart someone asks you a simple question but for
whatever reason your brain just can't process it it's a terrible feeling no other way around it and
it's even more humiliating when you're a pro chef who has a brain fart in front of gordon ramsay at
the final four pass of hell's kitchen young guns trenton who was a bit of a quiet chef all season
finally had his chance to shine and while his overall run at the pass was middle tier
there was one moment in particular that i think almost cost him the competition altogether as he
had are gonna be the biggest brain fart in hell's kitchen history what is that begins with t u
n t u n i'm talking to you yes trent i'm trying what is that t-u-n-a
t-u-n-a
thankfully for trenton his overall dominant performance this season still earned him a
spot in the final two but man this isn't your typical surface mistake this is flat
out a 23 year old having a complete mind blank in front of gordon ramsay
and honestly if trenton hadn't been so dominant all season this insane brain
fart could have cost him big time as remember season 20 had a final three finale who knows
of trending even makes it to the final two had this been a normal final two finale it
just goes to show that even the best of the best can have their embarrassing moments
when it comes to the goat of hell's kitchen many fans point to one man as the greatest chef to ever
step foot in hell's kitchen and that man is the legendary dave levy dave dominated the entire
season while lydia only having one working arm and the fact that he was able to win hell's kitchen in
spite of his broken arm is truly incredible but this amazing resume is exactly what makes his
mistake at the final 11 reward challenge so baffling the chefs were tasked to make a 700
calorie or less meal however dave arguably the greatest chef in hell's kitchen history
made a dish so bad that it literally made chef ramsay laugh in his face here we go and
oh come on when chef ramsay laughed it definitely like stung i feel like a loser what is that
vanilla yogurt cream it tastes foul that's the kind of crap you serve when you just
come out of a heart bypass or an ulcer operation that's a joke back in line dave
when it comes to weaker winners of hell's kitchen nona is often regarded as one of if not the
weakest winner due to her horrible inconsistency and winning the season that consisted of the least
taunted group of chefs to ever enter hell's kitchen and nona's weak points were on full
display at the final eight dinner service as she had arguably the worst service from a winner ever
as she made some pretty bad mistakes and even got a bit sassy with ramsay resulting in her getting
ejected from the kitchen no no yes why do i understand this why that chicken is taking so long
because i didn't drop it right when you called for it oh no come on it's the tree beef i'm putting
him in right now chef hey look at me you're not even listening i'm trying to help you i know and
i'm taking what you're doing well it should be sad by now yes sure who help if the pan was hard
chef let me show you something look there you go yeah it's hot chef i just put him in
get out of hawaii get out the wine i'm not in your way because upstairs then all right fine i
know this is somewhat cheating since it wasn't one particular mistake that was overly inexcusable but
nona looked extremely bad here and she got very lucky that her teammates won the red team service
that night because she more than likely would have been the one to go home after this complete
meltdown and in general this is a performance you wouldn't expect from a hell's kitchen winner
you know i get kicked out of the kitchen and you know i was just starting to emerge showing
chef that i can try and lead this team i have so much more to show and so much more to prove
on the topic of week winners christina is not exactly considered a top tier chef in
the show's history and let's be honest she for sure would have lost to petrosa had he been 15
years younger and even though she had her bright spots she committed an act so bad at the final
five dinner service that it literally caused jeff ramsey physical pain yeah anything piping
christina the handle was over the flame the [ __ ] handles over the stove
at least say something to something yes yeah now you're just acting like an idiot yes
no chef okay well mistakes happen silly christina won't do that ever again
hey look come here look
you're not even you're not you're not even telling me he poured water on the handle of the pot and it
sizzled it was really hot if a pan handle is over the flame say something will you please yeah wake
up hey chef simply unacceptable for any chef much less a winner to make such a dangerous mistake not
once but freaking twice again say what you will about christina as a winner but it's moments like
this that really made her stand out as the first controversial winner of hell's kitchen
and in my opinion this is the worst mistake a hell's kitchen winner has ever made thank you guys
