“Hell’s Kitchen” season 18 ended on Feb. 8, 2019. Ariel Contreras-Fox was chosen by Gordon Ramsay to be executive chef at the Hell’s Kitchen Restaurant at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada. This season’s 16 contestants were evenly divided between rookies and veterans of the show.
With eight of the hopefuls returning for redemption, we wanted to know who had bested them before on the show. That got us wondering whatever happened to the contestants who won the first 17 seasons of “Hell Kitchen.” We did some digging and discovered that some of them are still working for Ramsay while others are now running their own restaurants or catering companies.
After reading our recaps of their post-show resumes, be sure to vote in our poll as to your favorite from all 17 seasons.
