Which picks do you disagree with? And who is your all time most beloved chef in HK history?

I'm happy the treatment of Barbie is recognized by the majority of fans of being wrong. The worst thing she did is stomp around in anger, but this was *AFTER* they treated her like absolute garbage.

What I love most about Sterling is how he got a lot of opportunities to work at nice restaurants after the show, but he turned them all down so that he could cook for shit pay at the hospital that saved his mother’s life. As he says, “I don’t work for the pay; I work for the passion.” Such a sweet and amazing dude.

Heather burning her hand and delegating her section while she was in pain was one of the most badass things I’ve ever seen on this show. She’s always been my favorite female Hell’s Kitchen winner.

No wonder Heather became a Sous Chef. She was an incredible leader on every team she was on.

Petrozza nominating himself is still one of the most wholesome moments in reality history for me. Genuinely wonderful thing for him to do for the best reasons.

I loved Sterling! He was always 100 and he was offered a ton of jobs at restaurants but declined so he could work at the hospital that saved members of his family as well. Christina is an icon and a legend as she’s so humble as well while also giving the chefs encouragement! What a boss!

Thank you for putting Salvatore in for S7, he was the comic relief during his time there because the season was quite serious. He was mature, didn’t complain and was never hard on any of his teammates. Yes he wasnt a great chef at all, but he was easily one of the funniest and nicest ever on HK.

You could see Ramsey deflate completely when Sal told him he didn't go to school.

I have a soft spot for Boris from S8. He was one of the friendliest guys on the S8 blue team and his reactions to Raj’s meme worthy screw-ups were comedy gold!

Heather won my heart when she got the 3rd degree burn on her hand and still tried to lead her team.

Rochelle made a big impression on me, no joke one of my favorite contestants to ever go on hells kitchen. She's gracious and her laughter is infectious.

I liked Rochelle's joy and passion she had for cooking. And love it when she made Gordon chuckle after getting eliminated and being in third place. And Dave being a tough chef who won never got nominated foe elimination, won the competition and earn Gordon's respect.

I'm gonna be honest here, Alex's storyline is by far the best one in HK history. He went through tough trials before the show, most notably his restaurant closing and being sold due to COVID. Then during the competition, he stood out as a leader who obviously cared about the food he serves despite making one dinner service mistake. Not to mention, he won nearly every special challenge on the show, which includes the Punishment Pass Challenge, the Cook For Your Life Challenge, and the Black Jacket Challenge. His final dinner service was also one of the most memorable as he absolutely shined as a true head chef and ultimately won it all in the end. Alex's storyline is like something out of a movie and I think it's amazing.

Rochelle not even being able to keep a straight face even when she's explicitly told to cracks me up. God bless her, I hope she's doing well out there.

I still want Christina to ever say as the current Sous Chef: "I survived Red Team Season 10."

I loved how chill and relaxed Dave was, he was never an asshole and was always just a chill guy. I’m glad he won he worked for that win

I've said many times that Milly is the Boston Rob of Hell's Kitchen. I say that not just in the sense of how iconic he is to the HK viewers. But just like how Jeff Probst loved Boston Rob, you can tell Milly is one of Chef Ramsay's absolute favorites across the entire franchise. He gave Milly Pep Talks, excused some of his mistakes (like saving Milly first even after he made the incorrect number of oysters during All-Stars' Cook For Your Life challenge), and in general it seemed like it pained Ramsay to eliminate Milly both times he did. It's saying something when Ramsay straight-up offered Milly an internship at his flagship restaurant after his All-Stars run, something he didn't do to anyone else that season. So let's just say if Ramsay ever has a Legends season of HK, don't be surprised if Milly's on the cast.

As much as I love Christina, Clemenza was my favorite of that season. Man had so much heart that after he gave one of the best elimination speeches ever, the entire red team stood up and cheered when he was told to go back in line. I don't think there was ever another chef that got as much love and respect from the opposing team as Clemenza.

Aaron’s face when the Gordon Ramsay said Sterling’s dish was a stand-out was just beautiful. I love it.

Two years ago Sterling visited my middle school. I got a picture with him and everything. He truly is a great guy.

I honestly loved Robert in Season 5, He was incredibly funny and I felt bad for him, and the Season 6 Punishment was just cruel even by HK standards

Dave is my favorite contestant. He never back down from his injury. His best moment was his winning one.

I feel like something for me that makes Salvatore my favorite of his season is how he was one of the people this season who accepted his elimination and admitted it was the right choice, it shows just how mature he is

I really love Dave especially in the kids vegetable challenge when he said “come get a sandwich from the the one armed bandit”

I love how flynn jokingly said matt for season 4 knowing damn well it’s petrozza😂rip petrozza❤

The fact that Raj isn't S8 pick is crazy. Sure, we loved him for all the wrong reasons, but he was still the best

Milly doesnt get enough love. He had a big heart and a sensitive side but when push came to shove, he would do what was needed to be done to set things right. I loved him from start to finish

I love that Rochelle was smiling throughout the entire season, even when she cut the tip of her damn thumb off. Also, I was right for most of my predictions

Rochelle is my personal favorite. She tries new things like cooking a lobster which it benefits at the end. And she never gives up.

Julia effortlessly flipping omelets was really satisfying

I totally get Motto but Ariel really grew on me in Season 18, no drama, no attitude, just put her head down and did what she needed to do. I liked her in 6 but when she came back I was thrilled, she had really grown as a person and as a chef

According to how often he’s quoted, I’m guessing the favorite for season 6 can speak for himself

Rochelle and Sterling are by far my favourite chefs. I loved Rochelle's bubbly personality and I enjoyed Sterling's attitude in general, such a lovely guy.

in S13, sterling was literally so amazing and sweet i always wanna cry when i see him fr

Yes Finally recognition to Rochelle she a great cook and a sweetheart through the entire season an i relate to her for having social anxiety myself

Alex was a rare breed. Not only was he the oldest HK winner but he had that perfect balance of humility and competitiveness. He didnt constantly brag about how good he was and he was a team player, but at the same time he was also there to win and made the hard decisions that might have made him some enemies in the cast. From the start me and my cousin were convinced Alex and Alejandro were Gunna be the top 2, but alejandro was 3rd so close enough

Petrozza was a really amazing person in season 4, I really wanted him to win. R.I.P 😢

Definitely Rochelle is my favorite chef in all of Hell's Kitchen. I constantly rewatch her season because of her!

Season eighteen, I have to disagree. I think that the title of the most beloved chef should go to Kanae. Not only was she a strong chef, her personality was undeniably amazing. She was the best contestant that didn’t make it to the black jackets of that season.

Christina W and Sterling are my two favourite HK chefs of all-time. Christina was an absolute warrior and Sterling will always be Mr. 100.

What makes Stirling #1 for me is after the show he was approached by a lot of restaurants to be their executive chef but he turned them down to cook for a hospital that treated his mothers cancer.

I could also give it to Bobby in Season 4. He was arrgogant yes but he got Petrozza back from the brink and he was genuinely friendly and easy-going.

Sterling is no. 1 every time, there’s no competition

Will started off as a favourite and beloved chef of that season until the whole betrayal with picking Elise over Jennifer as the better cook changed my opinion of Will. He's still got some great highlights, but ngl season 9 has some disliked chefs, so the choices were limited. Tommy would've been my pick, but if Will didn't say that Elise was a better cook than Jennifer, I'd end up with Will being my favourite/beloved chef of that season.

Sterling is such an amazing person - he's on Instagram and he constantly posts positivity and love!

13:49 Barbie’s excitement knowing it’s Christina is so cute- 🥹

I love how you chose manda and Kim. Both of them are so underrated and they are two people I was really rooting for

Correction: there’s no one that hates Sterling, unless you’re name is Steve or Aaron. You can clearly see how much disbelief he was in when Sterling’s dish won after he called Sterling an asshole for no reason. Also if you were doing beloved chefs for both rookies and veterans, for the rookies Motto is the obvious choice and for the veterans, I would choose Bret

I was so happy to see Manda and Mary Lou on this list. They were just such bright forces on their seasons that they were always fun to look forward to the confessionals of.

For those curious, here's the final rankings for each of these beloved chefs in their respective season; S1 - Elsie - 4th out of 12 S2 - Heather - *1st* out of 12 S3 - Julia - 4th out of '13' S4 - Petrozza - 2nd out of 15 S5 - Paula - 2nd out of 16 S6 - Dave - *1st* out of 17 S7 - Salvatore - 10th out of 16 S8 - Jillian - 3rd out of 16 S9 - Will - 2nd out of 18 S10 - Christina - *1st* out of 18 S11 - Jon - 3rd out of 20 S12 - Rochelle - 4th out of 20 S13 - Sterling - 7th out of 18 S14 - Milly - 4th out of 18 S15 - Manda - 5th out of 18 S16 - Kimberly - 5th out of 18 S17 - Nick - 3rd out of 16 S18 - Motto - 4th out of 16 S19 - Mary-Lou - 2nd out of 18 S20 - Steve - 5th out of 18 S21 - Alex - *1st* out of 18 As this was recorded before Season 22 was finished, here's my personal picks for most beloved Red Team and Blue Team chefs; Season 22; Red Team - Sammi - *3rd* out of 18 Blue Team - Ryan - *1st* out of 18

Gordon Ramsay:You went to school right Sal:No chef Gordon:You didn’t go to school?!?! Sal:Yes chef Gordon:Oh… man I was joking, now I’m the donkey

YESS, thank you for giving Paula love!! I loved her the most in S5, she was pretty much the only woman on the red team who had her head on straight and was an amazing cook! QUEEN 👑

I feel like Brian would be a great contender for season 10 as whenever I see a post about Season 10 on KZfaq or Reddit, people unanimously speak on how much they love Brian and I can definitely see why.

My picks would have to be 1: Elsie 2: Heather 3: Julia 4: Petrozza 5: Robert 6: Van 7: Salvatore 8: Nona 9: Jennifer 10: Christina 11: Jon 12: Rochelle 13: Sterling 14: Milly 15: Manda 16: Ryan 17: Nick 18: Mia 19: Donna (Declan) 20: Steve 21: Alex 22: Brad

For Season 16, I'd rather put Ryan over Kimberly (even though Ryan's first name is also Kimberly). Ryan started out as a shy girl and she was mostly hiding behind Heidi most of the time until Ramsay told her to find her voice. Only for her to move to Blue Team and find her voice but sadly, having a teammate like Paulie made her totally overwhelmed. Kimberly is kinda annoying most of the time.

After seeing some of Milly’s clips from season 14 all I wanna do now is give that man a big hug man looks like he needed it

Mr 100 Sterling always kept it 100; Rochelle is a bubbly, motherly type and always reliable; Christina is my fave winner of HK (S10, to be precise) and a complete badass; Milly is definitely a giant teddy bear and his unreal passion for food is really astounding (not to mention so satisfying); Kimberly of S16 floors me, being very spunky yet has the tenacity of a wolf when pushed. And these are my personal list of beloved HK contestants. 😊

I absolutely loved Rochelle

When I saw Heather burn herself, crying and getting first aid from Gordon, and STILL lead her team to cover her station, I just KNEW she was going to win

Bobby is right behind Petrozza when it comes to S4. He came in a bit over confident, and did poorly with his signature dish and in his first service. But after that, he became a solid cook and leader throughout his remaining time on the show. One of the nicest people to ever walk through the doors of HK. When he was eliminated, he talked about how he's often misunderstood because of his size and presumed to be some kind of bully. Showing that you can't judge a book by it's cover. And he had a very gracious quote when he was eliminated. "I walked into Hell's Kitchen with my joy, and I'm leaving with my joy." After Hells Kitchen, Bobby started a program called "F-Bites" that's designed to teach inner-city kids how to cook. He also owns I believe two restaurants in the Niagara Falls area.

Sterling is definitely the most loved chef and let's not forget How Will was the first one to check on Jason what he wasn't feeling so well

Alex is set up to be another powerhouse just like Christina, which is probably why they’re my two favorite chefs, let alone my two favorite winners

I loved Julia from season 3. I couldn’t believe the way she was being spoken about by the other women at the beginning.

24:08 Those heart eyes they put on Cody is the best editing HK ever did 😂😂

dave was always my favorite my dad always asks why and i just say “he went an entire season with one arm! hes strong then anyone i’ve watched before!”

*Dave breaks his arm* "I'm not a quitter and I'm not a wuss" idk why I thought the "I'm not a wuss" bit was funny cause I think a broken arm is a serious injury but honestly HUGE respect to Dave.

Season 19 was such a breath of fresh air by having four great, likeable chefs who all supported eachother in the final four

Petrozza the man may be gone, but Petrozza the legend is immortal.

Alex is definitely my favorite chef from modern HK

When you jokingly said Matt for season 4 it gave me a migrain RIP Petrozza, one of my favourite contestant ever.

Wherever Sterling is in the world now, i wish him nothing but the best. Guy is just a beatiful soul.

Hearing Sterling sing made me smile.

Jon is cool but I also had a major soft spot for Mary. She just seemed so sweet. And had underdog energy When she took over in the blue kitchen after Beret sent raw chicken I was practically right there with Nedra doing “Go Mary!”

Dave was a beast like fr, so was Kevin. It was impressive seeing two chefs this strong especially in such an early season, I could even say Dave is better than all HK chefs to date.

I have been waiting for a list like this. Thank you.

Kimberly has the most expressive face I've ever seen on a human being, it's adorable

My favorite quote from season 2 “Jean-Philippe. Jean-Philippe! JEAN PHILIPPE!”

Season 18 is a tie between Motto and Trev for me. Motto is amazing and had the potential to be the first male winner in 6 seasons, but I just can't ignore all the crap that Trev had to deal with throughout both of his seasons.

Flynn I’ve recently been watching your HK vids and I love them, keep it up man you’re doing great 🙏❤

4:58 I think the worst part is that Petrozza died of lung cancer back in 2019. Cancer sucks!

Next video should be Top 10 Chefs who kept their jackets

What you did to me with Matt and Petrozza killed me 😂

I love Jon's exit speech though he still sounded positive and happy even when he was diappointed. and the even I couldn't survive the curse of the blue team definitely sticks with you

Easy to go from hated to loved. Nice, Flynn. :)

I always felt like every season I’ve seen so far (1-19) has one or two “main characters” that may or may not be the best chef but has the most screen time and interviews. Examples: Elsie, Season 1 Keith, Season 2 Julia, Season 3 Louross, Season 4 Robert, Season 5 Tennille, Season 6 Jay, Season 7 Trev, Season 8 Paul and Will together, Season 9 Season 10 has pretty much nothing but main characters Jon, Season 11 Joy, Season 12 Sterling, 13 Bret for the first half and Milly for the second, 14 Hassan, 15 Paulie, 16 Nick, 17 Trev again weirdly enough, 18 Cody, 19

I’ve been waiting for you to do this type of video for a while…and you did not disappoint. It was awesome that you highlighted some of the best of the best from this show and they truly balance out the chaos that is Hell’s Kitchen. Elsie (S1), Heather (S2), Julia (S3), Petroza (S4), Paula (S5), Dave (S6), Christina (S10), Jon (S11), Rochelle (S12), Sterling (S13), Milly (S14), Motto (S18), Mary Lou (S19), Steve (S20) and Alex (S21) were my favourites and I’m glad you highlighted them.

I think a few people deserve an honorable mention. Latasha, Nikki, Michelle, Ariel, and Kanee. Latasha was amazing, Nikki is one of the most improved chefs on the show, and Michelle and Ariel both got their redemption and won, especially Ariel who was much stronger on season 18 and was just a really nice person and a great leader. Kanee was just funny, good, and spunky.

I love Heather, Elsie, Sterling, Dave, Rochelle, Melanie, Christina, and Scott so much. They’re all great and I’m happy they’re doing well. And shoutout to Alex. I knew he’d win, and I’m so proud of him. Definitely one of the best HK winners

Tennille is my favorite Chef from the entire series. Every. Season. There's. No. Contest.

Should have put Ji for Season 5. Despite being eliminated second, she held everyone's hearts.

I love Petrozzas exit interview. Such a gracious man

Sterling's my favorite chef in the series. I love his attitude, and he's hilarious to boot! P.S., fuck Aaron for constantly hating on him.

Honestly idk how people can make a case for Keith being the favorite in Season 2, at least after talking back to Ramsay during his elimination

Wil from season 9 is probably my favorite HK contestant tbh. Pure skill, no drama, absolutely a chill and awesome dude who is incredibly good at what he does, and should have won easy over Paul imo. I think Paul’s use of his grandma’s death as a storyline in the season made Ramsay give it to him more than anything. And while Paul seemed nice in season 9 I think he was mostly just mirroring Wil’s behavior

Thank you for giving Manda her time she is one of my favorites from hk and one of the most underrated

i'm just an emotional person by nature but this video brought me to tears a handful of times. i love seeing these videos

when u said matt i nearly lost my shit lmao

yk its a good day when flynn posts

The pick for season 6 and 14 are gonna be impossible. Both had such a loveable cast
