hello everyone welcome back to the film inside channel hope you're having a great day make sure
to sit back and relax because in today's video we'll cover some more hell's kitchen contestants
and reveal how they're doing now by the way these are the contestants that ranked 18th on the show
so without further ado let's get straight into the content guys we're starting with chrissa schmurler
oh oh really oh no oh my god really oh
that is hideous sorry chris made her debut in the 14th season of the show hailing from belmore
smelma was a businesswoman who ran a food truck business she had aptly called it big cheese food
truck having no experience in an actual kitchen schmeller had her eyes set on the trophy in hell's
kitchen but was owning a food truck enough to give a tough fight it wasn't schmerler failed
to realize that working in a busy kitchen which is constantly under the pressure of all kinds is
way more different than what happens on the food truck anyway to start with schmeller had a very
charming attitude but she grossly failed to make an impression as a seasoned chef
embarrassment washed over her when one of the first dishes she presented was
heavily criticized ginger cookies ginger cookie crusted chicken breast yep that's what's in there
failing to make her first impression we hope that schmuller would eventually do great
but unfortunately her performance only sank further
she almost always seemed to be lost from the prep until the very end of the service
so much so that there was a time when she got so overwhelmed that she wanted to quit
sarah yesterday why is she hiding i don't know chef on my one he's okay keep going keep going
krista come here schmurler's lack of interest and enthusiasm didn't sit well with her teammates
she was soon nominated for elimination her pleas to remain on the show fell on deaf ears
and she was soon shown the doors crystal give me a jacket i just don't get it after her elimination
Chef Ramsay commented there's nothing more terrifying to chrissa than jumping off a building
but there is nothing more terrifying to me than the thought of having her as my next head chef
Chef Ramsay's statement summarizes the course of her time on the show bring off a building
but there is nothing more terrifying to me than the thought of having her as my next head chef
post hell's kitchen schmeller went back to her food truck business apparently her business is
doing great and is loved by many now she even operates a catering business under the same name
shmerla often posts pictures of her food on her business pages and she's got some great reviews
from her clients and customers on facebook her business has 4.9 stars and 4.5 on yelp
one of the reviews on facebook read thank you so much for everything you did to make my daughter's
first birthday drive so special everyone loves the food you can't go wrong using the big cheese
for a private party friendly accommodating and go the extra mile we're happy that she's
finally found her calling not in Chef Ramsay's kitchen but where she started on her food truck
kenneth mcduffie but i'm confident right i'm confident anybody need any help i'm good i'm done
kenneth mcduffie was a contestant in season 19 of hell's kitchen
at the time the philadelphian was a private chef with over 15 years of kitchen experience having
no culinary education mcduffie was introduced to the art of cooking by his great-grandmother
stocked with a range of her recipes and blessings he was all set for the competition
mcduffie's first dish didn't match up to his refined personality have you heard of people
saying that you need to give it all the love and time to make a great dish we're not sure about the
love but mcduffie certainly didn't give it the time the result was a horrible undercooked mess
20 minutes left and i'm done i'm just like so lost like what do i do next but it was not just
the time mcduffie didn't pay attention to what he was doing Chef Ramsay found an unknown chunk
of something strange on one of mcduffie's dishes and guess what he had no idea of what it could be
he mindlessly exclaimed that it might have been a potato that had accidentally dropped into his
plate with a chef like this you're finding way more ingredients than what's listed on the menu
needless to say mcduffie was eliminated for having the worst dish but we're happy he wasn't
a sour loser mcduffie in an interview showed his gratitude towards hell's kitchen by calling it
heaven's kitchen and stated that the show saved his life how sweet coming to hell's kitchen i had
a lot to prove i thought i was going to make it further in the competition than what i did at the
end of the day i feel that my great-grandmother is smiling down i really did her proud mcduffie
revealed that he was suffering from depression and continuously had suicidal thoughts before the show
but one day one of his friends called him and told him about hell's kitchen casting
he also said that if hell's kitchen didn't cast him he would not have been there to tell his story
mcduffie believes that Chef Ramsay changed his life he said the best advice that chef Ramsay gave
me actually when i got booted off the show he said let me tell you win or lose this competition you
take this opportunity and you run with it that was the best advice that anyone could give me
two years ago i would not be here today talking to you guys sharing my story post
hell's kitchen mcduffie returned to his catering company young and hungry
catering he has also appeared on cookery segments on many tv channels and shows
he found some purpose in his life isn't that just wholesome up next is pat tortorello
i definitely had some you know misstep coming out of the gate but bottom line the fish station
i think destroyed the whole service pat tortorello made his debut in the 16th season of the show
originating from belleville tortorello a culinary instructor was all set to showcase his skills
on the show he often boasted about his skill knowledge experience and age but was that enough
to impress Chef Ramsay he's with the grandpa lines i'm bringing the experience to the table
i mean i'm a very very young 47. although at the beginning it looked like he was going to be a
promising contestant who was also a great team player sadly it turned out to be the opposite
tortorello's pride crushed him despite being an italian unlike what he believed tortorello
sucked at risottos and this happened several times have a sea bass with a light citrus risotto not
a bad job i mean i'm gonna give it a three thank you it was clear that this attitude wouldn't take
him a long way on the show he was nominated during the deliberation and no matter what please he made
he was still chucked out for his poor performance give me a jacket get out of hell's kitchen
after his exit Chef Ramsay said pat is italian and couldn't even cook risotto what a meatball
chow pat and couldn't even cook risotto what a meatball ciao
post hell's kitchen tortorello became an area manager at performance food service
and he even took part in 2017's reality show a charity cooking show before entering the show
tortorello gave a short interview with northjersey.com where he shared his story
tortorello revealed that initially he wanted to get into the medical field but he fell in love
with cooking because of his family's influence he also said that he was raised in a two-family
home with his aunt living above his grandmother living next door and his grandmother's sister
living next door to her he added that there were many great italian cooks in his family and cooking
got everyone together tortorello shared how he started his cooking journey during high school
after getting a job in a local deli later on he took a course in culinary school where he could
annex through bergen community college and its hotel restaurant program soon after his
graduation he picked up a career as a line cook tortorello even mentioned that he had applied for
seasons 13 and 14 and in season 15 he was ousted by one of his students whose name he didn't reveal
coming up next is simone hammond we are thinking that i would have a chance to grow and to learn
from you because i respect you simone hammond was a contestant in season 12. coming from henderson
hammond buffet cook was ready to showcase her experience and talents to chef ramsay starting
on a positive note hammond's first impression as a chef was 50 50. she was able to impress chef
ramsay with her dish but her presentation skills fell flat protein's cooked beautifully thank you
chef but it looks slightly clumsy congratulations from the second service onwards it was a disaster
hammond constantly displayed a weak performance often we felt like she even had a physical ailment
whether it was a nervous breakdown or otherwise she appeared unwell on most occasions this got
her team members wondering if she was just making excuses there's nothing wrong with her
ass man small guy go home tonight i don't think i'm physically capable he's not sick she's given
up she probably realized that she was making a fool of herself on the show and expressed
her feelings about quitting naturally during the deliberations hammond was nominated she asserted
that she wanted to learn from chef ramsay and grow as a chef but when the time came to announce the
eliminations hammond interrupted and pleaded to go home my decision is it's okay chef i can go
after leaving chef ramsay commented hell's kitchen is about making someone's wish come true simone
wished to leave hell's kitchen that's an easy one wish granted hell's kitchen is about making
someone's wish come true simone wished to leave house kitchen that is an easy one wish granted
post hell's kitchen hammond returned to being a chef at gustav international catering before
working at newport domestics offering personal chef services though we couldn't find much about
her on social media we came across a review from one of her clients which she posted on her
linkedin profile it said words can't express how impressed i am with how well my event turned out
and it was because of chef simone's mouth-watering dishes the meal she served was amazing from
appetizers to dessert each dish was plated with care and creativity and the flavors were amazing
beyond the meal chef simone's professionalism genuine kindness and passion for cooking
were impressive i will definitely hire her again and would recommend her to others it looks like
she's not the quitter we knew anymore and finally we have jpd dominicis my you've got just under
15 minutes to go okay i'll keep it hot you'll keep it hot how can we do it again real quick
jvd dominicis was a contestant who debuted in the 13th season hailing from boston dominicis
was a kitchen manager he was ready to start with a bang and was determined to win the show
but not the right kind he failed miserably despite presenting the same dish twice i'm ready to win
whose is this uh jp jp what is this you've got just under 15 minutes to go when chef ramsay
threatened to pack him up soon dominicis promised to do better but that promise didn't last long
he screwed up with the basics raw lobster that was my fault jeff
the time that he sent out a raw halibut was the moment he sealed his fate not only was he ejected
from the kitchen by a furious chef ramsay but he was also nominated soon after during his plea time
dominicis threw his teammate evan lammon under the bus and didn't own up to his mistakes now we all
know chef ramsay hates lame excuses and obviously there was no place for him in hell's kitchen
anymore after leaving chef ramsay said everyone in hell's kitchen starts at the bottom unfortunately
jp stayed there everyone in hell's kitchen starts at the bottom unfortunately jp stayed there
post hell's kitchen dominicis became a sous chef at the university club in boston later
on in 2019 he became a sous chef at fortune vine and currently he is working at atlantic sea grill
