hello everyone hope you're all having a great day today welcome to the film insight channel today
we are here to inspire you by discussing the most talked about chefs who found fame amid the chaos
of hell's kitchen you might have already started to think of the chefs who might fit onto this list
so let's not delay any further and get right into it christina machima student christina good
concepts terrible execution christina machima was the winner of season four she was a student from
saint louis missouri when she debuted on the show and the most interesting part is that she had the
least experience in hell's kitchen so how did she reach the top and win the show it all comes down
to the hard work and lessons she learned from chef ramsay's constructive criticism at the beginning
of the show when chef ramsay asked everyone to make their signature dish christina wasn't even
sure what she made but chef ramsay was impressed with the concept even though the execution was
terrible with the passion and hunger to learn more christina showed us what teamwork truly means
it was the third day in hell's kitchen where the red team lost the challenge
during the punishment jen blamed corey for their loss and that's when christina stood up for corey
and told jen that it was a team failure and not an individual failure all of our fault we're a team
sure christina and corey were not on good terms with each other
they had moments together a lot but she put those thoughts aside during team challenges
and worked seamlessly her team player attitude is reflected in how wonderfully she handled conflict
on multiple occasions throughout the competition coming up in lobster in 30 seconds christina
i'm working on it the taste challenge this challenge has always been my favorite in
hell's kitchen christina was just not good with her hands but was good with a sense of taste too
so in this challenge christina was able to guess two out of three and believe me when
i say this not everyone can guess truffle correctly but christina did chopped truffle
open i know exactly what that is what is that that's truffle can i have some more christina
has shown that even without experience she was better than many other chefs in that season
she displayed the most important skills that every chef should have leadership and motivation skills
there were times when christina had taken the lead and every time she did the service went well it's
not like christina never made any mistakes she did and she was at the receiving end of chef Ramsay's
foul mouth her team even nominated her but she survived regardless trust me chef Ramsay knew
that she had potential and we all got to witness that potential when she was declared the winner of
hell's kitchen season four christina you've been warned big time you're gonna have to bounce back
yes chef chef Ramsay said christina had the least amount of experience coming to hell's kitchen but
i saw something in her that is quite special she had the best potential of any other chef in hell's
kitchen and in my business i think long term i've made the right choice christina was offered
the job of senior sous chef rather than executive chef after hell's kitchen she worked for 10 months
at london west hollywood before moving to thomas keller's bouchon bistro she went back to school to
become a sommelier after leaving her job and she currently lives in napa valley she formerly worked
at b cellars vineyards and winery as director of wine and culinary and oversees the caldwell
vineyard presently she works as a personal chef as well chef christina repaired as a guest diner on
hell's kitchen a few times she has come a long way from cooking there for people to being served as
a special guest she has a private website called chef mac where she lists luxury wine tastings and
catered dinners as some highlights of her new napa valley experience scott commings this is
the little light fennel dusted uh wreck a lamb scott comings was the winner of season 12. scott
was an executive chef from woodstock illinois when he started in the fourth season of the
show so what led him to win the show his passion leadership skills and determination are certainly
what led him to victory we all know what the first challenge was the signature dish challenge
and in the first challenge only he failed even after being confident that chef Ramsay would be
impressed i am very risky taking taking on lamb but i've got pure confidence that chef Ramsay's
gonna love my dish now if you watch the show then at some point some of you must have thought
here comes another overconfident nut job well many of us thought the same way you have the
most stunning and the most expensive cut of lamb anywhere in the world managed to [ __ ] it
completely for the next five days scott had his ups and downs in challengers and dinner service
there was this challenge called the creative memory challenge on day five okay scott what
is that basmati rice with a pan-seared swordfish and a little bit of a hollandaise wow swordfish
cooked beautifully and it was a two-player team challenge here scott showed some potential one
of the best things about scott is his presentation skills he plated the dish beautifully and we all
know that the first thing everyone uses is the eyes remember i speak more than words
you don't cover thoughtfish in hollandaise despite showing potential scott screwed up big time in the
next day's dinner service second nominee and why um scott this communication problems that
we keep on having and even though he survived the elimination round did it open his eyes well not
exactly he was nominated again and again scott why did your team put you forward as someone that they
cannot coordinate with i don't know chef it was really surprising to see him surviving elimination
again and again i mean if suzanne schlicht was able to survive even after the dumbest chef in
hell's kitchen then this was nothing scott was transferred to the red team join your new teams
and he made mistakes there too and was nominated by the red team
now the same questions come to my mind repeatedly how did he survive and win the competition
i guess chef Ramsay saw something in him that maybe many of us didn't see
the question was will he now upskill his skills show his potential and be a team player the answer
is yes you see with all the lashings and failings he was learning too scott needed to up his game
this time and he knew that too finally we got to see him thriving and he succeeded so great
that he won the final tasting round and we all know what happened next he won the show
from failing again and again to clinching the win that's a remarkable journey after winning chef
Ramsay said scott won tonight because he has all the qualities i'm looking for in a head chef he
is passionate determined and a true leader he's an artist placing food and has a phenomenal palette
there's no doubt that he's got a great career ahead of him he's got one tonight because there's
all the qualities i'm looking for in a head chef he is passionate determined and a true leader
scott worked as the head chef at gordon Ramsay pub and grill at caesar's palace after hell's kitchen
later he became an executive chef at freedom beat at the downtown grand hotel and casino in addition
he is a co-founder of blt foods in las vegas in 2018 he and co-owner antonio nunez launched stove
in las vegas he is also associated with several restaurants if you think these were the chefs
who got famous on hell's kitchen then wait till we reveal who tops it this chef is not only the
best but also the most successful chef in hell's kitchen history and this chef is christina wilson
the quality of food that we put out is phenomenal it's done that briefly christina wilson was the
winner of season 10. before the show she was a chef to cuisine from philadelphia pennsylvania her
passion talent and leadership skills led her to a clean victory christina showed great potential
on the first day itself during the signature dish challenge she presented chef Ramsay with a
molasses glazed pork chop which chef Ramsay loved right what's this that's a molasses glazed pork
chop on the chef de cuisine at one of philly's top 50 restaurants her dinner service was not that
great but the best part was that she accepted her mistakes despite losing dinner service four times
and it's not that the blue team won christina remained firm even with the disappointment
this challenge was called fashion night planning challenge where christina was paired with donna
they presented chilled mango broth with jumble crab meat while the presentation was clumsy they
were still praised for its taste david red or blue please um red amanda blue please please i'd have
to agree on red red or blue though the red team lost the challenge we got to see a different side
of christina here the angry one and who made her mad donna i mean who can remain calm all the time
are you serious come on man help me out christina is scary when she's mad her potential and progress
were terrific and even chef ramsay noticed he even complimented her christina yes chef three stars
amazing thank you i appreciate that what could be better than getting chef ramsay's compliments
there was this episode when robin was back in the red team again christina was showing some
excellent leadership skills as well as team player skills as most of the team showed dismay towards
robin christina like a true leader reminded them that winning a service needs team effort
and keeping aside their personal problems you're not counting orders listen you're really gonna
argue with him right now we're here to help not make it worse for him this was not the only time
she showed leadership skills it was dinner service time when the blue team was screwing up a lot
and christina was sent to the blue team to help them she not only reminded the team not to make
it worse for the blue team but she also helped them complete the order in a very smooth way
thanks to her leadership again i'm just trying to organize like so we can get some of this food out
we saw christina not being up to mark when it came to challenges but this didn't pull
her down instead she used it as a lesson and improved there was this dinner service where
christina could have done better if she didn't challenge herself christina what is this what
what what is this look at it it was the ultimate challenge for getting a black jacket
during the service christina was on both the garnish and appetizer stations she sent up a
burnt risotto but her refire was accepted in the beginning she screwed up a little and when barbie
offered her some help christina rejected it as she wanted to get through it all by herself i'm trying
sorry i really don't need you uh talking in my ear right now i don't know how many of you will agree
but challenging yourself is great and it's not great when you know that things can go out of hand
and they did how do you think christina did when it came to the final tasting challenge did she do
great or did she lose the challenge again she did amazing not just that she even won the challenge
she built herself strong and her determination was on point she was simply phenomenal
after the win chef ramsay said christina's passion and talent are undeniable christina's passion and
talent are undeniable she's a strong leader who is totally at home in the kitchen she's
