during the 20 seasons of hell's kitchen there have been plenty of mistakes whether these mistakes
were dumb comments made by the contestants or just a very bad dish or decision made by a chef
almost every chef in hell's kitchen history has made a mistake of some sort however it's one thing
to serve up overcoat scallops or blame risotto but it's a whole nother thing to find out make a
potential life-threatening mistake and these are the mistakes that have stood out over the years
what's going on guys i'm flip masters and today we'll be looking at the top 10 worst mistakes
in hell's kitchen history in no particular order other than maybe the top couple spots
we'll look at the mistakes throughout the years that were on a whole nother level of bad
whether these mistakes were dangerous disgusting or just plain stupid from a
pro chef and again the picks i have chosen for this list are simply one really bad mistake made
so for example noka's ejection in season 7 won't be on the list as it was a multitude of mistakes
that got her kicked out that night also these are just the top 10 that stand out to me the most but
there are obviously a lot more mistakes that i could choose from so let me know in the comments
if you would like a part 2 in the future with all that said let's kick it off with number 10.
to start us off let's go to the first service of season 18 house kitchen rookies vs veterans even
though it's still baffling that chefs continue to mess up the same dishes year after year recently
the amount of really dumb mistakes have lessened over the years but in the first service for
the rookies team scott didn't even make a rookie mistake he made a what the f are you doing mistake
hey donut why are you cooking the shrimp pan you'd already done the order it's gone tableside are you
real your name is scott scott lee is doing table styles come here come here yes come here come
here let me show you what tableside means table side means it's sat next to the table yes yeah
this is so embarrassing don't worry about it yes an executive chef made the mistake of cooking a
tableside dish in the middle of service i mean i'm no chef but even i and most people would probably
think a table side dish means you'll be making the dish by the diner's table hence the name or
you know maybe watch one episode of hell's kitchen scott made many other mistakes that night that got
him sent home first but being an executive chef and not knowing what table site meant
the first time ever someone made this mistake is super cringy and embarrassing let me tell
you something you did something tonight i've never seen before you were cooking the table side dish
in the kitchen the good news is your restaurant's open tomorrow night now get out of there yes chef
you could argue this next one as i completely forgot about it and it really didn't amount to
anything but this is probably the dumbest mistake ever from a great chef in hell's kitchen and that
is saturday serving food for dogs yes you heard that right except maybe not wine because it's dogs
sade who may be barking up the wrong tree i don't know about fried anything for dogs so they're not
making too much sense right now okay we have to make dog food i've never done this before
but i guess it makes sense i'm really confused sade's you know dice know this new york strip
she knows we don't have to cook for the dogs right no one could be that stupid
life i look around and i realize oh my god these are human portions i thought we were cooking for
dogs what's this plate here what is that braised beef braised thief looks like a dog all over my
plate now again this wasn't even a dinner service so it's not that bad compared to what it could be
but i mean come on what was going through saturday's head during this i mean did she
really think the dogs were going to judge her food and to make matters worse this was literally her
first performance on the blue team talk about a bad intro luckily saturday did respond well
after this and went on to have a great run but man that's just embarrassing no other way around it
number eight comes from season eight and to the surprise of no one and involves raj but
believe it or not none of the mistakes raj made this season were bad enough to make the list
however since he is arguably the worst chap in hell's kitchen history vinnie had no faith in
raj to get out the garnishes for the entrees and wanting to make sure the customers got some food
he put things into his own hands and turned hell's kitchen into his restaurant as opposed to ramsay's
and yeah it went about as badly as you would expect hello guys
but vinnie has a plan to speed things up i'm gonna be perfectly honest with you if you guys
order sides you're gonna be until next tuesday i have zero confidence that raj is getting out
garnishes inside why are you not allowed to order sides because i guess we get our food quicker
yes one of his tables he's telling them they can only they can't have side orders because it takes
too long to get out of the kitchen what did you tell them exactly what i told them was this i said
i'm telling you the truth the sides are delicious but it's going to take a lot longer if you want
side so you told him that don't push the side so i look good i'm ready with the sides look i
got all the sides ready i'm waiting for them wanna know the truth yeah i do want to know
the truth the truth is i have no faith that he's going to be able to get the sides out
you do not decide what goes out this kitchen
get out
get out luckily for vinnie he wasn't the one to go home here but i think this pretty much
cost him any chance of winning the season as deceiving gordon ramsay and his customers
is probably even a worse look than making bad mistakes during service but then again
in defense of vinnie he never actually lied to gordon ramsay and the customers
i did not tell those people do not order sides i highly recommended it
let's go back to old school hell's kitchen now for number seven and we once again have
another big time mistake from an overall great chef as even though she almost made it to the
finale there's no way around how bad of a look this was and that is jen taking spaghetti out
of the trash and planning on serving it to customers oh you need more spaghetti julian
we had an order for spaghetti and i threw out what we had when i decided to retrieve the spaghetti
from the top of the garbage and washed it 212 kills the bacteria and then i decided to serve
it where'd you get it from the garbage on top no no no no no way who in the world picks food out of
the trash so despite making it to the final three and being an overall very good chef this season
this is about as bad of a mistake and for that matter as bad of a look as one chef could have and
the only reason why jen didn't go home here was due to joy on making nearly as bad of a mistake
that very same service hey misty is that crab hi to you anyone else smell that where's the crowd
oh can you not smell that the crab is off it's fancy
how can you do that man i feel bad for the people who are dining on the red side that night
at number six is a mistake that comes from the first service of season 12 arguably the
worst dinner service in hell's kitchen history as literally not one dish was served that night and
the person who was front and center of this bad service was gorov who had a miserable night on
the appetizers specifically the risotto after making your basic risotto mistakes the first
couple times he then made a mistake so bad and so disgusting that it almost got him kicked out right
then and there nothing coming out anything positive there's nine of you standing there
playing with yourselves oh no hey you hey hey come here we do not stick our fingers in the food lick
it and then go back inside what is this sorry chef does anyone have any respect for the customers sat
behind me i'll get a group chef don't worry about getting the grip next time you're out
we also saw ray do this in season 11 and while it's still disgusting you can give them somewhat
of a pass as that was the heat of the moment dumb decision but what makes it so specifically bad for
gorov was that he was shocked at ramsey's reaction and made it seem like this was a
normal thing to do are you kidding me you're going to not take my risotto just because i
checked the rice and then finally clean my finger with my tongue i gotta say i bet after seeing this
clip millions of people became worried if putting saliva in food was a normal thing for some chefs
i think i have all the talent the passion the desire the attitude you forgot fingers
we go back to season eight for arguably the worst dinner service mistake of all time after
being a consistently bad chef melissa was given a second shot on the blue team it's a running joke
in hell's kitchen house scallops always seemed to be the chef's biggest kryptonite but melissa
took these scallop struggles to a whole new level melissa scallops hello i i'm all out of scallop
chef what i cooked out of all the scallops i like the team chef look at all the skills
oh my god
take the plate take the [ __ ] plate pass it around seven pounds of scalp
this is just embarrassing those are projected scallops now to be fair to melissa we've seen
similar bad performances from chefs like tayvon and louie single-handly screwing up an insane
portion of food but what makes it so bad for melissa is that she messed up all 23 fillets
in the previous service before apps were even done making that two straight episodes where
she basically screwed up the entire dinner service in the red kitchen melissa has moved on to entrees
unfortunately her team is not even close to completing the appetizers melissa
the chef what is that one two three four five six oh my god 7 8 19 18 19 20 20 what the hell
are you doing ladies there's 23 on board chef so what why are you cooking them now
going into the final 14 dinner service of season 11 bear was already on thin ice with chef ramsay
after he made a potentially deadly mistake the previous service see those six
glamorous ladies slightly older yeah and look oh my god
the paper you got the parchment on it man why you trying to kill people
so despite already making one potentially deadly mistake he proceeded to make yet another deadly
mistake the very next service except this time it wasn't a dish for strangers it was
for sous chef james's wife who was pregnant i've got raw chicken here it's from my wife
for chef james's wife pink chicken chef james's wife is pregnant oh my gosh
i can't even look chef james in the air he's like a triple black belt in taekwondo this
dude could probably [ __ ] up right now other than serving chef ramsay's family a deadly dish
serving a potential deadly dish for his protege whose wife is pregnant is about as big of a no-no
as you can make especially after what he did the previous service i'm still amazed to this day that
bear didn't go home here especially since this could have been a convenient excuse to keep dan
who was a big time personality that season but then again chef ramsay is superhuman
maybe he had a sneaky suspicion of what bear would do next if he were to spare
him bad clean shave this morning yeah chef what happened to the uh sideburns
bloody how what happened i'm ready to work it's not about
the look it's about my passion for food good
this list so far has been mostly comprised of service mistakes but the dumbest mental
mistake in hell's kitchen history comes from jessica in season 16. in episode
three jessica had an easy night as she was put on table side however she did have one mistake
and that was an overcooked pasta no big deal though as she was fine the rest of the night
all right on to nominations gia is the obvious first nomination who will be the
second i'll do it i'll do it i [ __ ] up one takatillo okay that's pretty risky and dumb
but you know chefs have nominated themselves before in the past and survived so as long as
jessica puts up a good fight at the nomination ceremony she'll be fine she's already packed
i'm not packed i'm ready to stay here who's packed she's
back in line jessica you've packed you are not ready to head to vegas
for the first and only time in hell's kitchen history a chef who was working tableside that
night would be the one sent home to be fair to jessica though this may have been what she wanted
as the main reason why she nominated herself was due to all the fighting bringing back
bad memories and hey she didn't have to be around the blue team the rest of the season
so maybe she's the true winner of it all i confess i hate jessica pretty much yep hater
as i said earlier mistakes even deadly mistakes at that are one thing but the flat out to see
chef ramsay is probably the worst thing you can do while vinnie's lie is kind of a gray
area despite how bad it was nothing is more bad and blatant than brendan line to chef
ramsay during the second service of season nine brendon yes yeah is that the same bass no chef
you didn't start a fresh one yes i did yeah so where's the old one then throw it away chef
show me chef i can't find it are you lying to me because i'm gonna stop this whole kitchen i'm
gonna ask you one more time to tell me the truth is that the bass from 10 minutes ago
yes and how dare you go to the garbage can search it and turn me out like that you do that to me one
more time trust me the elimination i'll send you out there and then let me tell you that
yes yeah again no matter what you think of other mistakes on the list or throughout history
this one ranks near the top due to just how detrimental it was to lighter chef ramsay
getting brandon sent home that same night and losing all of ramsay's respect the only thing
bigger than brendon's ego are the lies that he tells and i can't have that in hell's kitchen
this list has been pretty vague up until this point but to me the biggest mistake in hell's
kitchen history comes from jeremy in season 11. jeremy was essentially a walking train
wreck all season and is often considered one of the worst chefs to ever enter hell's kitchen
and a big reason for this honor is due to making in my eyes the worst
mistake in hell's kitchen history you're back watch your back come on come down
hey all of you come here some disgusting pig brought me the sample scrambled eggs
the sample scrambled eggs that i cooked an hour ago these guests they save lives on a daily basis
and you want to serve that jeremy kill someone with that i mean just how does this happen again
there's been plenty of embarrassing mistakes throughout the years and moments of pure
stupidity but this in my mind tops it all a pro chef serving a sample dish to chef ramsay just how
this got jeremy eliminated that same night despite being on the winning team and deservedly so to be
fair though it was a morning service and i'd hate to see the kind of mistakes i would make in the
morning on little to no sleep i don't know what i was thinking it was my fault i brought up the
wrong plate but i've learned a lot about myself i know i'm a fighter and above all i'm a great chef
