Hell's Kitchen Young Guns Where Are They Now
Remember Hell's Kitchen: Young Guns? It feels like forever ago, doesn't it? Season 20, the one where all the chefs were, like, actually young.
A Blast From the Past (With Spatulas!)
Well, I got to wondering what happened to those fresh-faced culinary competitors. Did they conquer the food world? Did they open that dream restaurant? Let's dive in!
The Winner Takes All (Or Does He?)
Of course, we have to start with Trenton Garvey. The season's victor! He walked away with the Head Chef position at Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen Restaurant in Lake Tahoe.
Must Read
Reports say he really put his heart into it and he became an Executive Chef, then moved into Consulting Chef role. It's safe to say he’s definitely doing something impressive.
Runner-Up Renaissance
What about Megan Gill, the talented runner-up? She hasn't faded into obscurity, that's for sure.
She’s currently the Executive Chef at a luxury golf club restaurant. Pretty swanky gig, if you ask me! Talk about turning up the heat!
More Than Just TV Chefs
And Brynn Gibson? She was a real standout, even if she didn't take the crown.
She's been showing off her culinary magic at upscale catering events and also on a cruise ship. From dry land to the high seas!
Let's not forget the ever-charming Steve Glenn. He's still cooking up a storm as well.
He showcases his cuisine through pop ups, as well as works as Executive Chef at a popular restaurant chain. From Hell's Kitchen to the masses!
Beyond the Headlines (and the Kitchen Nightmares)
It’s not all Michelin stars and fancy restaurants, though. What about those who didn't make it to the finale? Did they just disappear into the restaurant ether?
Nope! Victoria Lugo runs her own food blog. She's sharing recipes and inspiring home cooks everywhere!
Some, like Antonio Ruiz, are continuing to hone their skills in respected kitchens. A real climb, brick by delicious brick!
Life After Ramsay: A Recipe for Success (or Something Like It)
The truth is, Hell's Kitchen is just a springboard. It's a pressure cooker that either hardens you or boils you over.
For these young guns, it seems like they mostly came out stronger and better. Whether they're head chefs, caterers, or food bloggers, they're all still passionate about food. The true reward isn't just a fancy title, but continuing to do what you love, right?
The Secret Ingredient: Persistence!
So, next time you're wondering what happened to your favorite reality TV chef, remember this: they're probably still out there, hustling in the kitchen. Putting love and sweat into every dish.
And who knows, maybe one day you’ll stumble into their amazing restaurant. Make sure to say hello and let them know you remember them from Hell's Kitchen! They'll probably roll their eyes (in a good way), but deep down, they'll be secretly thrilled.
