Two Chefs Compete This season's class on Hell's Kitchen was the most ambitious yet, and Chef Ramsay wanted them to be even MORE ambitious. But when the fire went out, only the top two remained: Jay Santos, an executive chef from Boston, and Holli Ugalde, a banquet cook from California. Over the season, they struck up a bit of a relationship, but in the end with a job at the Savoy Grill in London on the line, these friends with benefits are going to turn into bitter rivals. The next morning, Jay & Scott and Holli & Andi finalize their menus. Jay has a lot of bold flavors on his mind, while Holli... doesn't. Yet. But when she thinks about thinks that she loves, it comes down to California cuisine. But before they can present the menus, Ramsay has something special planned for them... at the London West Hollywood. Where a few of his friends are waiting to watch Iron Chef go down. It's the final challenge: one hour to cook five dishes (amuse bouche, cold app, hot app, fish, meat) to be judged by five of Ramsay's finest executive chefs. AMUSE-BOUCHE; Judging is James Durrant (Maze).
COLD APP; Judging: Diego Cardoso (Murano). HOT APP; Judging is Clare Smith (Gordon Ramsay's
flagship). FISH; Judging is Steve Allen (Gordon Ramsay at
Claridge's) MEAT; judging is Stuart Gillies (Savoy Grill) And the winner is.... JAY! For winning this challenge, he gets first pick in the final Dinner Service. Amongst six of the worst chefs this year... JAY: Benjamin, Jason, Fran They get some time tonight to go through the menus. Which sucks for Jay, because he was hoping to sleep with Holli tonight. Waa waaaaa. Welcome to the final day in Hell. The kitchen is in half; the dining room is in half. Meanwhile, Siobhan is doing her best to sink the victory ship, while Ben truly wants to help Jay to win... we hope he doesn't take on too much. And Jay and Holli are called to Ramsay's office. For what, we don't know. Until Ramsay drops a gift on their head... the coveted white jackets and a food-and-wine vacation in AUSTRALIA! Last time, season 7, good Lord willing and the creek don't rise, OPEN HELL'S KITCHEN!!! DINNER SERVICE We are fully booked tonight, as Ramsay will pay close attention to both kitchens. Jay's team gets off to a strong start on their first ticket, while Holli's looking to do the same. Unfortunately, Siobhan's on the amuse station. In Jay's side, Fran has a problem with the scallops. She didn't really have a clue as to what's going on. Neither did Siobhan. Autumn is going to help out with that. Fran is fighting her way back, and the customers are getting perfect dishes every time. Apps slowly come out of Holli's kitchen, while Jay's kitchen is still on a roll. Jay sends an incomplete table as Jason crumbles with raw lamb. An hour into service, Jay's kitchen has stopped... until Jason finally gets the lamb right. Needless to say, it was worth the wait. Holli's team has picked up the pace. She moves onto entrees. Jay... tries to get Jason back on his game... by coddling him. That was just painful. Ben had to step up and play sous-chef, getting the food out tout suite. Autumn, meanwhile, is dragging a table on the red side. Both chefs have three tickets left... Now it's a race. Not as amazing as the one on CBS, but whatever. And Jay... finishes first. And gets props from his mom. Holli gets props from her son and his father. Back up to the office. Back up to the door. For the winner... the title of head chef at the Savoy Grill and the title of winner of Hell's Kitchen season 7. And the winner.... ... of Hell's Kitchen... ... season 7.... ... IS... .... ... ... HOLLI UGALDE! And here comes your kid... and the picture on the Wall of Fame... and CONFETTI, of course. Cheers to the champion of Hell's Kitchen, and as we start cleaning up for season 8 in the fall, here's a final word from Chef Ramsay... "Holli won because she's grown as a chef more than any other chef in Hell's Kitchen. At the start, she was barely noticeable. But then, she got her confidence. She emerged, and there was no holding her back. I'm absolutely thrilled she'll be working for me at the Savoy Grill in London.
